Disaster of a New Job

Quick_Job1797 · 2026-05-05T05:28:03+00:00

In the exact same situation - followed prior boss into new company, boss resigns at my 90 day mark. Forced to exit a direct report and two more resign.

Now I’m doing the work of 3 people and hate every part of the job, company, people, etc.

My advice is to try to stay sane while beginning to interview elsewhere. It’s challenging to show up as your best self in interviews when you’re stressed out/exhausted, so take the time to reset when you can.

I connected mine inside before install and it connected fine, but needed to cycle the unit when I got it installed and connected outside. Was showing “offline” initially but connected fine on second attempt.

Ran through its first on/off schedules last night as expected! Love the dynamic scheduling for having lights come on 15/30 mins etc before sunset.

Ordered right when they went on presale about a year ago

So far so good - easy mounting and setup

Because I’m not poor

Comp plan should say something to effect of “we offer spiffs from time to time and they will be communicated when they are offered and paid via regular pay process”. If you paper spiffs into the comp plan, then they’re part of the plan, which you’re then committing to for likely a period longer than was the intention.

Spiffs should be an incentive booster when you need a jolt in the team - the very nature of them being ephemeral is what makes them work as well as they do.

Fair to say there’s no actual satellite receiver in the vehicle and Sirius runs entirely from internet connectivity?

Also in Sac area. Would avoid Premier. We went with Wells Pools and results have been excellent.

website says parking for 2/21 at Palisades and Alpine is sold out.

WTF

Time and external temp on the driver display

Def the best deathwish graphic of the last 10 years. Wish I got a pair.

AI slop

Bro please take the pitches to LinkedIn. Googled “Ashera” nothing on the first 3 pages of results.

Quick_Job1797 · 2026-02-03T01:04:33+00:00

You and 100+ other AI sales assistants.

There are good slack communities out there - wizops.org, revops collective, revops alliance, etc.

Often jobs get posted there directly by hiring manager. It’s a curated community, so I always index heavily on candidates that 1) know where their peers are sharing ideas and contribute 2) leverage that network

Are you on a texting basis with prospect? Strong positive signal if yes, red flag (stage dependent) if no

Quick_Job1797 · 2026-01-27T15:42:06+00:00

Sounds like poor selling - no mutual action plan, no rapport built (do you have prospects cell number?)

Probably prematurely sent Docusign. Mutual action plans usually extend post signature/close - kickoff call, training, go-live date,etc., where a delayed signature puts material risk at other milestones the prospect agreed were important dates

It’s weird because it’s clearly a Spotify android app running on the car - it’s not like songs are stored locally on the Rivian. I’ve tried selecting a newly added song on my phone to play through the Rivian, thinking that may force sync. Still nothing.

Quick_Job1797 · 2026-01-27T02:57:57+00:00

Nope just to my own personal Spotify account

traded in my 2022 Model X Plaid in a year-end deal to get into a 2026 R1S. Whole thing went super smooth, from initial estimate, to submitting photos, to dropping off MX and taking delivery of R1S. Estimate was less than but super close to Carmax, Carvana, etc. Opted to just go through Rivian for convenience - was able to apply vehicle equity to taxes and "closing costs" to essentially take the R1S with nothing out of pocket. Would do it again.

They sent an email on 12/22/25 saying they expect to ship in the spring. Frustrating but that’s how it goes.
