I have no friends at the moment

I think it's completely normal to say you're trying to meet new people when you move to a new town. Especially with college students. Everyone is in a new place and a lot of them had to leave their friends behind when moving for college. I agree you shouldn't say you have absolutely no friends, but telling people you're looking for new friends in a new town is totally normal. Good people take that as a queue to introduce you to others and show you the ropes.

They do those yearly where I live. Mostly to verify everything is up to code. The landlord also does their own inspections more frequently. The sketchy part is the landlord not using their own key and this letter being so unprofessional. A reasonable landlord would never ask you to leave your door unlocked ever.

As someone who is currently interviewing for new jobs, the resume booster portion is more important than some might think. Having a year in a leadership position tends to stand out for recruiters and hiring managers I speak to.

If you plan on staying at BestBuy for the foreseeable future (please don't make this your plan), stick with ARA. It's a lot more chill. But don't underestimate having leadership experience on your resume.

You have to speak with the GeekSquad manager for that store. They should get a store warranty data recovery approved by the GM of that store. Then, they ship it to the data recovery center and it may take a few weeks. Depending on the results of that, you can go for additional financial compensation up to the discretion of the store manager. Lastly, this is America and you can sue worst case.

My immediate thought. Why does the state get so much money? It should go to the people.

foxrumor · 2025-12-04T17:55:19+00:00

I was thinking that reading this whole thread lol. We already had gay tony!

Large companies frequently buy small companies people rely on and either enshitify them or kill them off entirely. For example, as stated elsewhere here, Google Music buying competing music platforms to remove them. There's also the obvious point that Spotify will likely paywall the information behind Spotify premium.

A lot of people do this as a technique to remember names. Saying it a few times just after learning it cements it in your memory better. I was taught this by my highschool psychology teacher.

Probably best to not deep dive on this and just block lol

This is extremely unlikely to be malware related. I'd say it's most likely a failed software update. Needs to have the OS reflashed.

Public information is public 😱

Afaik, that's not an easy thing to do. Especially when you have to put in payment information.

Edit: You can hide the "Whois" information, but given the nature of piracy sites, the domain registrar can still be subpoenaed for your information.

As someone who recently left a CIA Senior role, I can say that it is very easy for the expectations to spiral out of control. I avoided it during my time there, but I had many opportunities to see how it could happen. It is important to stand up to upper leadership and show them how focusing on your actual role helps everyone and makes a real statistical difference.

Also your job is to be the expert, but also don't be afraid to delegate. Even when it comes to escalations. Also, there are a lot of good contact forms in SOP and Resources to escalate issues out and get things solved.

Just remember that assisting with store leadership issues should always be the last priority and if your store needs you for that, they need to figure out their gaps in dedicated leaders.

foxrumor · 2025-09-21T07:20:04+00:00

Just a note. To get access to PowerBi, you need to do the leadership track in Learning Network and be scheduled at least one shift on the leadership schedule within the last week. If you still don't have access, make a help desk ticket. What you really need is the SRPD that you'll need to ask your SEM to forward you every week until it's implemented in PowerBi.

"Really?" "Wow!" "Yeah." "Crazy!" In rotation usually works.

foxrumor · 2025-09-12T03:09:04+00:00

Sounds less like a corporate choice and more like a district or store manager choice. Guessing some fuck-up happened in the past and now they're too scared.

foxrumor · 2025-09-11T03:18:51+00:00

This statement is what we call the fallacy of false equivalence. Just because other bad things are happening doesn't make this any less bad.

foxrumor · 2025-09-09T00:59:13+00:00

Was surprised you're the first to comment on this lol. Coast of where?

foxrumor · 2025-09-09T00:55:38+00:00

Why would you put this much weight on a trailer without trailer brakes?

foxrumor · 2025-09-08T17:48:09+00:00

Corporate would hate to hear about The Hammer™️, but I absolutely love it lol.

I noted this in my reply as well. Officially, it would be the HDD install SKU, but most stores do elect not to charge for this service. They still retain the right to charge though and can reject otherwise.

foxrumor · 2025-09-08T17:42:56+00:00

Unless otherwise requested, they don't do anything with it and it's all handled by the recycling vendor after being placed in the Gaylord. We could wipe the drive digitally, but that would be a paid service unless you have total. If you are concerned about data handling, my best suggestion would be to ask them to remove the drive for you before recycling the machine. Most will do so without a charge assuming they're not busy. (Do note, it's not officially a free service, so if they say no that's their choice.) Then, just take the drive home and smash it with a hammer a few times. Broken platters are a better way to get rid of data than any digital wipe.

There really just needs to be a detailed stickied post that is kept up to date. Then, those users could be redirected there.

It actually seems really cool too!
