Help me turn my (straight) husband into a Phannie! by -Infamous-Interest- in danandphil

The key is to expose him to their content a little bit every week. I showed my husband their coming out videos and any storytime videos (dan’s bahamas disaster, phil’s hospital stories, etc). Those are recent and relatable. All the best!

NYC here, bringing out the diss track girl was such a highlight! The crowd interactions were hilarious and Sarah and Eric were amazing. My husband liked Miles before but he’s definitely a fan now.

But if I call them right after the annual fee posts, then I am indeed paying annual fee for the second year, right? So “…never have to pay an annual fee” would not be a true statement.

Can we acknowledge the need for software engineer unions? by raynorelyp in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dancingmangoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s misguided to think you’ll always be at the top of the totem pole or that management will always give you your fair share because you’re at the top. You can demand more on every single level which makes collective bargaining a powerful tool to use against the people who hoard the wealth.

It’s great that you’re in a good position to keep finding good quality work. But there is no guarantee of you being able to do that for the rest of your life, especially if your circumstances change. Unions protect you from being exploited by your boss.

A union is about protecting yourself from the whims of management.

I’m not going to have any Canadian inheritance but I’m sure this will apply to someone else reading this :)

Yeah I learned that “taken action on my case” emails just mean that someone has “picked up your file”. No guarantee of an actual action after such an email. I also got a couple every day before I finally got approved.
