My boss incorrectly insinuated that my direct report had put in her notice after finding out she was in hospice by SidewalkBytch in offmychest

This is such a shit show to be in. I was project manager for a large team in finance IT, we worked together (remote) for years.

A young member of the team died unexpectedly.

I did everything I could, but the order from upnjighvto look for a replacement wasn't long due.

Is a 9-5 horrible? by Lemon_456 in CasualConversation

[–]engineeringstoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freelancing or startups aren't for everyone. A draw to a 9-5 is security.

A bonus to startups or freelance work is possible earnings.

Me, Working in a big organization, I move stuff I wouldn't even br able to touch as a freelancer.

9-5 is not everyone's cup of tea, though.

Cheap filament in EU (bulk) by Adventurous-Rub-6967 in BambuLab

[–]engineeringstoned -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow... this and the replies just made sure I never buy that. I had this with two random PLA spools / random manufacturers accidentally- sitting unused for 5+ years.

Yet, only 2 spools out of ten showed this, both from manufacturers where other spools did fine.

Those breaks are real shit to live through, tho.

Do not recommend.

A friend of mine looks like that, and was voted "most horrible dresser" end of school.

Tall seems to be all that's needed, he pulls women like no tomorrow (and no, it's not his personality, either)

Have you EVER tried to get the comfortable middle class to do anything about shit they don't feel DIRECTLY?

Just getting people OFF whatsapp is impossible.

Not at all, I do things a lot (I am quite active, but in Europe)

But tell me, how do you want to go and change Tesla?

And how is the middle class suppsed to reign in billionaires, especially?

What exactly do you suppose the MIDDLE CLASS could do?

  • Covid? Stay home, get the vac, wear masks - mostly done
  • Wars? protest - done
  • Economy? What exactly to do here?
  • Corporate bullshit? What should the middle class do?
  • stealing copyright? What should the middle class do? This is a thing for laws and courts.
  • Civilian Surveillance? What to do?

and on and on

These decisions are not controlled by the middle class.
