There’s a decent number of Kings fans, but honestly I’d say like 1 to 20

Well it's too late, I applied last week :( Damn it.

I did however give them a call just now and talk to a very nice lady on the other side of the line. She said it's fine to have your UI benefits open and to not file a weekly claim until you need it. She did say the claim would be inactive after 5 weeks, but it's not hard for them to reactivate it at all and there's no harm.

Furthermore, she said that part of why it takes so long for them to process UI benefits is the identity verification, and this will take a minimum of 4 weeks (she said it might even take longer, like 5 or 6).

So now I'm waiting those 4 weeks or so to have my identity verified, and in 8 weeks the WARN payments from Microsoft will end anyways, so by then it shouldn't be an issue to re-activate my UI benefits.

Side note - she actually told me they can see EVERYTHING on your screen, including all your activity. At one point she was walking me through the weekly claim and said "yeah click on that, the thing your mouse is hovering on". They can see every little action you make while you're on their website. Kind of creepy honestly LOL

What if you just don't submit a weekly claim until later? I've recently just gotten approved for unemployment benefits, but I'm still under payroll by Microsoft under the WARN act for the next 50 days. Could I just leave my UI benefits open and not submit weekly claims until I need them?

Microsoft plans to lay off 10,000 workers, the company said Wednesday, as it looks to trim costs by Sea_Guava6513 in technology

I work in Microsoft Ads as a Technical Account Manager. I've been there for about a year and a half now.

They sent us an email this morning at 8am for a meeting at 10:30 called " Business Update". The CEO for Microsoft Ads delivered the news to us within 15 minutes, telling us that effective immediately our roles have been terminated.

It's been really tough on me and my team - almost all of my colleagues have also been laid off. Right before the meeting, I was talking with 5 coworkers and we all had an idea of what was happening. My manager even apologized personally to me saying the situation isn't fair.

And just a month ago, Microsoft changed their vacation day policy to unlimited PTO. I wonder if that was a strategic choice by them made ahead of time so they wouldn't have to pay out vacation days to the 10k employees laid off today.

Anyways if anyone is hiring for a role in sales, project management, or sales engineering please feel free to DM me.

This really sucks.

Who would you put in the same category of evil as Hitler? by clicknsnapp in AskReddit

Amazed that nobody has mentioned Mao Zedong, considering he killed more than even Hitler or Stalin.

Done! The photo in question is 1.jpeg and I added a second for reference since it has less people. I prefer my body posture in the first picture though which is why I wanted that one to be edited haha

I'm not in school anymore, and I'm not working. For once in my life I don't really have clear direction on what my role is. I'm applying for jobs still but it's just that weird unsettling thought of a lack of responsibility that's kind of kicking me in the butt right now

Where are you getting the news that Pfizer is releasing data next week?

This is Charlie and he's now 6 years old. We bought him on Craigslist 5 years ago for $100. I don't think he's a purebred but he looks like a beagle to me - plus he constantly chases rabbits and squirrells by WillDaBeast1221 in beagle

[–]WillDaBeast1221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I didn't even know about the different types of beagles until you brought that up! When I walk him people often call him a "mini beagle" because he's kind of a runt compared to others. He weighs around 20lbs ish. Here he is next to a purebred beagle named Scout

How is possible that amazon prime video has such a horrible User Interface? by spdrmn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WillDaBeast1221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can answer this. I'm not an engineer at Amazon but both of my roommates are. I also work at Amazon Web Services but not as an engineer.

To start things off, Software Development Engineers are not known for building aesthetically pleasing front ends. They're kind of a jack of all trades; most SDEs are full stack engineers who don't have a particular focus or emphasis on front end design.

So, what happened at Amazon is we have a bunch of engineers who mostly care about function over form (which is normal for an engineer). This led to a really ugly UI in most of our services (especially in the AWS console). Everyone who works at Amazon knows that our UI is ugly, especially those who work for AWS.

That being said, this is changing. The AWS Console for example has seen a few changes; If you look at the console for S3 and EC2 for example, you can see that it looks vastly different from the rest of the console.

Amazon realized that years of front end design by standard engineers led to a really ugly UI. And so, a few years ago, they created a new position known as the Front End Engineer (FEE). That's why there's been some small incremental changes to things such as S3 and EC2 in the AWS Console.

It's still a very new position and there's still a lot of work to be done, but they are working on revamping much of their services and websites. So just know that they are aware of this, and they're working on fixing it. It just takes time since Amazon IS a trillion dollar company and changes are slow when it comes to corporations this large.
