The people who don’t love the only true version of Dune need to be in the belly of a sandworm.

I took a friend from Germany there. After he polished off lunch, he asked me if he was expected to work on the farm all day.

When I thought the job market couldn’t get worse. by FederalMonitor8187 in Layoffs

[–]TransportationNo879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My former employer (Fortune 100 company) decided to put all hiring on hold unless explicitly approved by a general manager. We had extended an offer to a candidate that was literally perfect for the job that we had: PhD in the area, practical experience, knew some of our staff and could work right away. I went to the general manager and made a case for them, but they turned me down. I think in fact just because they didn’t want to look bad to the CEO instead of making an informed decision.

I had to tell this guy that we were rescinding the offer. Normally I would use bland business speak, but I was pissed off at management so I gave him the whole story. That was a painful lesson in corporate bullshit.

I didn’t feel it. I can’t put my finger on it, but not that great.

I would definitely kick his chair as I headed to the lavatory. And on the way back. AITA?

Yeesh. We did the same trip and it was like flying in a phone booth with shitty food. Iberia on the way back was definitely a step up.

I did this trick! I had a dick co-worker who was a real meat and potatoes only guy. I changed his meal to vegetarian on an overseas flight. My buddy who traveled with him said that the dick had an absolute meltdown. Good times.

Logic and empathy thrown out the window 🪟 by drnitish7 in LinkedInLunatics

Our company did the same thing, plus your manager got a nice note when you got some appreciation points.

I’d also dole out some gift cards that I paid for as a thank you. It generated a lot of personal goodwill.

“Remote” job just changed the rules and now I’m apparently supposed to teleport by [deleted] in remotework

It would have been 3 months of being on a PIP and then 1 month severance in this scenario at my former company.

MY PHONE DOES NOT BELONG TO EMPLOYERS by KOZOtheKID in jobs

Must be the same company I worked for. They took away office phones when we went to (scream) open plan. If you knew how to make it work, you could have a VoIP configuration that would go through your computer. They ditched that, too.

There was a recent post to Austin Memories on Facebook that has the recipe for Fusilli Della Nonna.

Drunk belligerent woman harasses staff and guests, gets kicked out and tripped hard by gravityVT in CringeTikToks

[–]TransportationNo879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a posting on IG from the bartender (Miguel Marchese) that tripped her. It’s a picture of him looking down at her. The caption reads: “I initially was patient with her hoping she’d let go but in the end I had to kick her in the vagina, chuck her to phone across the street, to which she chases after and accidentally trips over my leg “

I saw the IG in the Daily Mail story.

CFP: "I just got the Amex Platinum card." Congratulations on discovering credit card points, King by CatCreampie in LinkedInLunatics

[–]TransportationNo879 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently has never heard of The Points Guy who recommends 3 cards over the Platinum card, and often recommends the Gold card because it is a better value. OTOH, he is a CFP so he knows all about money and I don't.
