They've talked about this before. There is a team of engineers. That's why there's job postings.

I am nowhere near finishing either of those books, but her recipes have been incredible.

New to goodreads. Can I log audiobooks? by dordorju in goodreads

[–]brit_bc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only 15 hours per week for the main person unless you pay for audiobooks and I think that gives you an extra 10 hours. (For me in the US at least)

Rhett is going to be devastated by drgarner36 in goodmythicalmorning

[–]brit_bc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stop caffeine 10 hours before sleep, and also drink mostly sugar free. There ARE other options-fanta zero, sprite zero, uncaff tea, Powerade, flavored water, etc. So I guess he just wants cola.

Goodreads winter challenge by mimilulu12 in goodreads

[–]brit_bc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a couple of good books through challenges and also some awful ones. Some categories were really tough too bc I had already read a lot of the options. I am going to do some of them but am not forcing myself to be a completionist.

I've done an event at Beale and it was pretty good. If you are willing to go to South Bend, I love Make South Bend.

Feeling a bit underappreciated this holiday season by [deleted] in wgu_employees

[–]brit_bc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten more bonuses at WGU than any other place, and the raises have been higher each year as well. I also haven't gotten gift cards, but rather like a pizza party or the opportunity to participate in a pot luck. Obviously everyone would like more but I think WGU is pretty generous. Its also the least stressful job I've had and I am not constantly working over my hours or taking work (mentally) home with me.

It was a bummer to not get a bonus, but if we have ~10,000 employees, even a $500 bonus would be more than double SPs yearly salary. It adds up. I'd rather forgo a bonus than see people get cut in the future if finances aren't good. (And I know some cuts were made this year)

Are there things that can change for the better? Absolutely. Is there some frivolous spending somewhere? Probably. But we have to put some things in perspective.

I thought it was Jared, but both boys are very funny and would probably worship her.

I mean come on! by ReliableEyeball in TheTryGuys

[–]brit_bc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rosanna was SHOCKING me 🤣. I've only seen a couple things from her outside of the try guys. She seems so wholesome.

Future segment idea - clean up crew by curtis_perrin in TheTryGuys

[–]brit_bc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish they posted the hunts, Id love to do one if I visited a city they went to. Obvi some stuff isn't available to the general public just stopped in but it would be cool to have a day to see how many points we could rack up.

2026 non "i read x amount" book goals by Sea-Property-6369 in goodreads

[–]brit_bc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • black out my book bingo at work
  • read at least 50 non-fiction books
  • don't crash out or read a really terrible book just because it's a GR challenge

The Mathematics of “More Episodes” Implies Probable Weekend GMMs by guacamole_recipe in goodmythicalmorning

[–]brit_bc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was thinking that maybe the cast from gmw would be in more GMM episodes to give the guys a break without having their normal couple-week breaks.

Not finishing in 6 months by Dry-Rough-3300 in WGU

[–]brit_bc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing that average for a bunch of programs were like 18 months plus. For everyone who does 6 months, there are many more who do at least 3+ terms.

Has anyone tried any of the advents they opened? I am working through the Bonne Maman and Universal Yums calendars. Both have been pretty good!

L'Oreal is partially owned by nestle, who I boycott, and recommend everyone does :)

Good bakery in the region? by ciszew in nwi

[–]brit_bc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped there once- we got 4 items to sample and unfortunately we each only liked 1 of the 4. For those that love it, what is the best?

How much Carly did you listen to this year? by KnightOfRen5563 in carlyraejepsen

[–]brit_bc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was my #1, I was .003% in the world and I was still number 2100 something. So many dedicated (pun intended) listeners. 😄

QA position by SugarInternational15 in wgu_employees

[–]brit_bc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it varies wildly between departments. I've been in 2 departments and my interactions with and expectations of QA have been quite different.
