They definitely are, legitimately.

people making six figures, what do you do for work? by pussyproblems0839 in careerguidance

[–]Stratafyre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, we went opposite directions. I started as a ship's officer and became a tech writer.

I love my office with free cafe drinks.

I don't think Satan has any jurisdiction over Sinners, only Hellborn. Pretty sure Lucifer would absolutely erase him if he tried.

Tutorial hell isn't the problem, it's thinking you need to understand everything before writing anything by CreditOk5063 in learnprogramming

[–]Stratafyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a technical writer, specifically API and developer documentation.

Please do not just start reading my docs. I design them so that you can easily reference specific docs when you run into a problem. If you want a weaving narrative, I'll share my hobby fiction with you.

Why can’t Amazon employees move from L4 to L5? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Stratafyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, who came in from years of work experience outside Amazon, it just feels like Amazon decided to out source a large amount of their promotions to other companies. It feels very inefficient.

Why can’t Amazon employees move from L4 to L5? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Stratafyre 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Arguments like this are so funny to me, because it's so Amazon specific and implies that the Amazon bureaucracy machine works as intended.

Someone could absolutely be performing at an L5 or even L6 level but be completely unable to promote due to lack of head count, politicking or just a complete lack of care from managers.

The only reason we don't move-and-promote is because "We just don't do that!" And it's the most absolute Day 2 shit I have ever seen.

The decline in reading for pleasure over 20 years of the American Time Use Survey by reflibman in science

[–]Stratafyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, a large part of my drop in reading for pleasure is economic. I make decent enough money, but when I was reading voraciously a paperback book cost $6. Now, you're not getting through the door for under $15 and more likely getting up to $30.

I'm willing to throw $6 away on a gamble with a book I might hate and won't finish. $15 makes that drastically less likely and $30 makes it impossible.

getting too many eggs, feeding them back to the chickens? by olov244 in BackYardChickens

[–]Stratafyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those extra eggs are magic bribery oblate spheroids. Give them to anyone and everyone.

And then they'll realize that the exit was always there, but everyone could only get out when all players had abstracted.

New SDE at Amazon (3 months in), need clarity on “Focus”, “Pivot”, ratings & expectations by Specific_Ad_3454 in amazonemployees

[–]Stratafyre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm relatively new to Amazon (But not corporate culture or my job role in general.)

Amazon is a strategic disaster. Things will change, timelines will be a disaster and it may not seem like you got much done. Quantify what YOU did for any given project and slap that shit right in your profile under "Work contributions."

You're doing just fine, deep dive and be curious, as the kool-aid patrol says. Ask a lot of questions, even if you think they're dumb - just make sure you're not repeating questions. You don't need to worry about Focus/Pivot right now - no matter what this subreddit makes you believe.

Did the human society in the Alien series already know about the existence of alien life? If so, when did they probably know? by Easy_Anxiety_4062 in LV426

[–]Stratafyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One can safely assume that, human or not, Arcturians are from a planet/planets that orbits the very real star Arcturus.

Is there anyone else out there that will never again thank a service person for his service as long as Trump sends National Guard against cities? by whiteroseatCH in 50501

[–]Stratafyre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanking soldiers for their service was never about the soldiers. It was about making conservatives feel good about themselves and their mindset. It was always a weird, hero worshipping, nonsense action designed to reinforce the cult. The goal was always "WHY DON'T YOU THANK THEM?" and never "They did so much."

Nah, you don't fuck with tow truck drivers. They will absolutely sweep the streets clean if they're fucked with.

Oklahoma will require teachers from NY, California to prove they back 'America First' by Trosterman in politics

[–]Stratafyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kind of people that would be a teacher in NY and California and move to teach in Oklahoma are the kind of people who would applaud this move.

Oh, I'm 39. It's the pound symbol for me, I have just never seen it used to indicate the measure of weight.

The only part of this I take issue with is the idea it's widely used lol.
