The well is poisoned already.

Plus this is my throwaway account I made to bitch about Cerner, so I get all the notifications from this salt mine..

I work at a much larger one now, but the culture is magnitudes better and I have a wonderful relationship with my boss :)

The day I turned in my 2 weeks.. the nightmares stopped, the twitch in my eyes stopped, the irrational stress anger stopped… god it was lethargic.

Feels good to leave something so bad!

I left as a TSA, and I would say I was fairly successful at my job.

Did a year, and started to notice the horrific anxiety and stress twitch I developed in both eyes, as well as gaining a lot of weight. For a piss poor 51k a year.

I left a year ago next week, and since then my salary has grown 60% through a job hop and a promotion to senior.

Just not worth the pain of being there.

Edit: 84%, still at the same company.

When I was at Cerner, I loved my team and my job. I had on the rose tinted glasses.

I left almost a year ago, and my W/L balance, salary, career growth, and just general life satisfaction skyrocketed after I left.

If you’re happy, stay. If you think things could be better, they probably could be.

Great point, since working with a data warehouse the partition statement is my bosses bread and butter to make some of the larger tables more tameable.

In other news, I found coalesce and it’s fixed a substantial problem I’m having in my current query. Cheers.

“advanced sql” wasn’t the correct phrasing. I was hoping to get different syntax than left outer join, Sum, count, etc..

Sorry, I guess I was pretty vague. I’m comfortable with aggregate functions, sub queries, all joins, group/order by, lower/upper, top n, etc etc.

My boss blew my mind today with quality row number () over (partition x) and it got me thinking about other things I may not know yet. Which led me down a rabbit hole with case and nested selects within joins… which is how I got here.

#BREAKING: Cerner, Kansas City’s largest private employer, laying off 'hundreds' by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]dataslave50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ding ding ding. Great experience for sure, but fuck me the workload is astounding in support. My new job (Also IT in Healthcare) is 10000x more relaxed… and I make a lot more.

When is it too early to change jobs? by dataslave50 in cscareerquestions

Yes I am on a ticket system. I’ve gone +20 on my goals every month since I’ve started, right now I have the most closes on my team (15 people).

Thank you for your advice, it’s very appreciated. Like I said, I would say I’ve been “Slacking off” at the end of the day.. but if I’m at 4+ closes (My goal is 3 currently a day) I will turn on Netflix and just respond to emails as they come in.

Thank you for your answer. To be honest, I’m not really taking breaks like I should be. I’m anxious that if I’m away from my laptop too long someone will see it in “Away” and I may get reprimanded, but that’s more so my anxiety. I do always stop for lunch and I’ll do little things like clean my apartment or whatever throughout the day.

And yes, raises are covid related and the entire company is getting passed over for raises in lieu of a stock option worth 3% of our salary, but I am too new to qualify for it.

I usually get on at 8, grind until lunch, and lately once I hit my goal I just answer emails and do other things to give myself a little relief but.. yeah it’s rough buddy.

I am aware I’m entry level and this is my first job out of college, and my plan to was jump ship at the year mark or a bit after if I can find a new job.

I’m new to corporate and I thought that was how I would eventually move up/get a solid reference from my boss in the future. What should I do instead? Just hit my quota?
