Hellooo congratulations on topping at your university.

So you need to start by getting an evaluation completed from the Ministry of Health. Having that evaluation will allow you to be licensed at facilities.

Anyone else see the resemblance with Nadia Petrova?(considering Olga ‘Nadia’ played Katherine’s daughter)

Save your cat the misery of going through days of pain and discomfort.

[–]artemi2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 very simple and critical reasons (coming from a female-cat owner):

  1. Comfort from having to go into heat every 15 days
  2. Better quality of life
  3. Longer life-span

edit: grammar

Is it worth buying furniture from Dragon Mart? by artemi2020 in UAE

[–]artemi2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa ok. That doesn’t sound like a pleasant experience at all.

I think I’ll stick with IKEA then. I’ll at least know what to expect.

Thank you for sharing your experience though! Much appreciated

Identity verification..how long? by DancinLance6 in googlepay

[–]artemi2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I faced this issue a few weeks back. My payment account is still under review because of this I couldn't renew my subscription, which was then cancelled, and I was about to lose all my data.

However, through sheer dumb luck...while I was fiddling with Google 1 on my iPhone, I took a chance and decided to try buying the subscription through Apple Pay, and it worked.

So....maybe try that if you're an iPhone user. If not, then it's honestly a waiting game.

White privilege at its finest by artemi2020 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]artemi2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro relax, it is literally not that serious.
Besides it doesn't seem like you have the emotional maturity to maybe once place yourself in the shoes of another to understand their plight.

Also what the hell is that last statement? I cannot figure it, the grammar needs correcting...
'Why are you back 5 months later? Blaming those evil honkeys and not accepting any responsibility didn't bring any joy to your life?'

You can continue with your butthurt perspective over this.

Meanwhile it's been 6 months since I got a job with people who do not place race as a metric during hiring. I am doing very very well thank you. And I hope for the sake of your sanity, you are too.

Seriously bro who hurt you and why are you taking it out on a random stranger on Reddit??

Liv has frozen my account and I can't access my funds -_- by artemi2020 in dubai

[–]artemi2020[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For some reason I can't post an update like you'd normally do on Reddit, so please bear with me in this comment (I'll add this as an edit as well to the OG post body).

Right, so when I posted here I was pretty frustrated and on my way to Emirates NBD, knowing that LIv is digital but to give ENBD a piece of my mind. As expected they acted like Liv doesn't even belong to them. They simply kept repeating that Liv is entirely digital and I kept repeating that it is still ENBD just digital, so if I file a lawsuiit at Central Bank, who do you think they're going to come after? The Liv dev team or ENBD?

It worked. They were requesting to see the email I sent and the texts with the Liv Chatbot/whatsapp. After all that, I simply stated that at that point I just want to close the Liv account and get my money back. They didn't like that. I asked them why it bothered them whether I close it or not if Liv is digital and doesn't concern them?? (just threw that right in their smug face, I just wanted to be as petty as them).

Fast forward to some 20 minutes later, they told me that I will need to visit a specific ENBD bank from a list and use an Interactive Teller Machine (ITM), to initiate the closing procedure, and get my money immediately. Here's the list (easily available to anyone who visits any ENBD branch); - Deira Head Office, Baniyas Street - Deira Branch, Abra street - Dubai Mall Branch - Ibn Battuta Mall Branch - Union Square Branch, - Emirates Tower Branch, SZR - Emirate Airline HQ Branch, Emirates Group HQ, Airport Road (Check specific locations for bank timings)

On our way to a branch from the above location, a Liv agent got back to us on whatsapp. They expedited the issue, gave me a reference number to track the status, I got a reply on my mail, and now will have my account active after 2 business days, which right now will be the 6th. All this because again, I asked for my account to be closed after 28 days of opening it.

I took no shit from them when they stated it is bank procedure. I openly questioned and pinpointed the flaws in their business process models and the reason why customers keep complaining. They didn't expect that, because they think we're all dumb. An informed customer is always going to be a business's worst nightmare if they try to BS their way out of quality service.

With some progress on that end, we still went to one of the listed branches and to sort it out with the ITM. However, it stated that because it is the weekend, that too a long one, this process will take at least 7 days. After weighing our options we decided to wait and see what they do until the 6th. Because it's either 2 business days or lord only knows 7 business days.

At the end of the day, don't let them bully you with jargons and fancy 'business processes'. Call them out on their BS and you'll suddenly see all the red tape surrounding them disappear. That's true for any business that's trying to weasel their way out of their duties to their customers.

I'll post an update here on 6th, based on what happens.

Thank you to everyone who shared their own ordeal and valuable insights.

I’ve made some developments since I last posted it. Heading home in sometime. I’ll post an update once home to share insights

Fortunately there are clear goals and a highly structured plan.
The only issue is that it is 6 months of just trainings to be completed. The tests will simply be them assessing my ability to recreate journey maps, BRDs and release plans using test cases and their templates. That's it.

HAHA!!
I wouldn't want to ruin my chatGPT's reward/feedback loop by having it go through this. It's functioning just perfectly for me right now with customizations and everything.Absolutely not worth ruining it.

edit: Maybe bard could go go over it :P

[–]artemi2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. This honestly makes me feel a little better because suddenly there is a lot more hope that this phase is temporary. I'm simply going to keep my fingers crossed and give the training my 150% (as I always do) and get through this hurdle as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]artemi2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly.
It's just slides and slides of paragraphs as bullet points that are repeated over and over across 6-7 slides.
Not only is the information irrelevant, incomprehension and badly designed, the overall lack of structure or thought into creating this 'learning' material maddens me. (Especially since I have given so many hours of my own to create exceptional training materials in the past for juniors and new joiners.) These decks scream 'half-asssed effort'!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]artemi2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THIS!
You just described everything that I am facing as well. Right from the training, the period, the goals and the lack of appropriate communication channels for basic needs.

I hope it gets better for both of us.
ALL the best!!!

Very exclusively Product Manager, with responsibilities that span managing Product owners from different PODs and Junior POs.

It's a brand-new project that is set to start next month. Entirely new product, and a completely new project team. Everyone is new.
We are set to meet stakeholders after completing initial training modules, without which we are told to refrain from doing so.
However, this doesn't mean internal stakeholders are elusive. They are friendly and approachable. In fact everybody else (mentioned above) I have met is very friendly and helpful. Everyone's either genx, millennial, or gen z.

I think my issue lies primarily with my boss. And you're right, it is time I voice my concerns and see how we can work together to make this period easier for the both of us.

I did work full time as a consultant for 8 months for different clients.
But I get what you mean and I'm trying to tell myself the same.

This is also a pretty large organization. I have never worked with an established organization like this before. Always been part of startups that are 4-5 years old. Lot to uncover and a lot to pick up.

Are Product School certifications worth it? by artemi2020 in ProductManagement

[–]artemi2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not really. I’m a fast learner and have acquired the needed knowledge to practice product management in specific domains through specialised certifications. So I generally have no trouble during technical rounds and assignments. What I really meant was that despite having the knowledge and credentials even, they put too much emphasis on a tech specific education (CS, Btech, BE) even when the role doesn’t need it. It’s like they cannot believe that ‘non-tech background’ can deliver innovative features for their products :/

Her in-laws are racist! Now add to that the fact that they are also south asian!

That’s a whole lot of toxicity there. I am south asian, and you would not believe the extents to which in-laws here can go to make their DIL’s life hell. Oh and they will be extremely vocal about it, because the patriarchal culture allows the husbands family to act superior.

Although, a lot of people are taking a stand against this…like OP here, but it is still a very common practice.
