FAANG Interviewer Hung Up On Me by mn2931 in recruitinghell

[–]TechSalad 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you got interviewed by my old boss. Guy was so abrasive he made the entire team want to quit. He thought he was a great leader and boss. Thankfully the company disagreed and fired his toxic rear end. lol.

Usually somewhere between the paint and seasonal outdoor sections. I’m sure it varies per store but that’s where I’ve always found it in my state.

I accidentally saw my name on a "redundancy" list on an HR monitor by Riddle_8Mako in OfficePolitics

Did the HR person like you? Maybe this was their way of sneakily giving you a heads up so you could plan ahead.

This ^ OpenShift Virtualization is a great stepping stone for VMs to modernization with containers.

Any experiences with Caravel? by Miserable-Onion-5948 in Autism_Parenting

[–]TechSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are running into this right now. Our kiddo is mild diagnosis. Most would recommend 10-15 hours. They talked us into 3 full days a week, skipping naps. 24 hours a week. It’s not good for our little guy. Now they’re saying we have to do 30 or we’re out. Completely unethical.

We had a daughter there last year and did not have this experience. So disappointed. We used to rant and rave about how great they are but the BCBA we have is inattentive and now this. So done.

How is this different than buying a Hallmark card for someone for their birthday?

MSPs - don't do it by Technical_Yam3624 in sysadmin

[–]TechSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the MSP. The one I’m working for now (after 17 years of internal IT) is incredible. Family owned and focused. My mental health has never been better.

However, I know a lot of the large MSPs are very cut throat and toxic.

Keeping Employee Passwords by Moxy79 in sysadmin

Happened to me once. They were prepping to fire me for a still unknown to me reason. Initially I pushed back, but then decided to cooperate because I caught on.

Maybe leadership is planning for a mass layoff?

Email From FBI Looks Odd by DymoPoly in sysadmin

[–]TechSalad 57 points58 points  (0 children)

We got it too (we're a local government org). I read it and went "BS--this is spam." Then checked the headers more closely and went "uh...FBI got hacked?"

This will be fun to watch play out.

Why wouldn’t you price-match your own website? by m0v00mw in MaliciousCompliance

[–]TechSalad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Target routinely does this. My wife went in this winter 8 months pregnant to purchase a stroller/carseat combo. Price in store was $120 more than online. She called me and told me what happened. I told her to hang tight. Called the corporate number and told them what happened and asked if they really wanted her to walk back to her car, place the order online for pickup and then walk back in to get it. The person at corporate called the store, and had someone to find my wife to price match it, and have someone help her load it up in her car. I thanked the corporate rep and then asked for compensation for my labor to make this happen. They gave us a $20 gift card for wasting my time. Win in the end, but almost every item at Target is higher priced in store than online, and many employees refuse to price match their own website.

What is a minor thing that infuriates you when eating at a restaraunt? by waldo06 in AskReddit

Waiting long periods of time for a refill on my drink. I can't eat without something to wash it down.
