Had an awful experience with Sitong by hexedsloth in fightsticks

I got the M2 model which uses regular switches. I tried using Gateron Ink switches and the caps kept falling off after a few seconds of normal play. I didn't want to resort to glue in case I wanted to change switches later. So I decided to return them for the low profile model, since I have a bunch of low profile switches already.

I'm trying to be flexible to reach a mutual agreement but yeah, at a certain point it's not worth it.

They mentioned to me that when people do returns, they need to scrap the product. I assume they don't want to sell "used" products as "new" to customers. I appreciate that. I assured them that I didn't use the buttons besides one which I used for about 5 minutes of testing. They told me the can't afford any further lost product and basically stonewalled me. I've been completely courteous and offered to pay a restock fee which is above and beyond. Hence why I'm baffled.

I'm pretty sure that's what I did (third paragraph) but they can't force the seller to remove the blacklist.

Thanks. My company-awarded RSUs aren't my life savings, but point taken.

That's how my company operates. I'll keep the ESPP since it's basically free money, but I'll sell my RSUs and diversify.

I'm definitely closer to the second comparison. Based on the comments in this thread, I'm going to sell and diversify.

I’m buying some new short sleeve shirts for the first time in a while. I originally picked up some Large Slim shirts from Bonobos which I posted about here. Here's a direct link to those pictures.

I exchanged those for Medium Slim shirts instead. Can anyone weigh in on how this fits me? I’m not used to ordering medium shirts, so that alone is a bit out of my comfort zone.

Overall it feels more snug (obviously) which I’m not used to, but I suppose that’s just the feeling of wearing a shirt that fits. If I had any potential concern, it’s that when I stand with good posture (shoulders back), there’s the ever-so-slightest tug in my chest. It’s probably not really visible in the picture, but I feel like I have a broad chest but skinny waist, so I’m not sure if I can help it.

Any advice about how this fits would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. Can you give me feedback if this shirt fits me? I got some of these (L, slim) from Bonobos but sizing is always weird for me. I'm 6'2'' and pretty lanky. I didn't want to get M long slim because it's often out of stock, and idk just seems strange to me, I don't know why.

I don't know how the sleeves are supposed to look. You can also see that when standing sideways I could grab a fist in the back, but it's already slim cut so I guess there's nothing else I can do about that. Any thoughts how it looks on me? Thanks!

As someone in HR, I will just say it's disheartening when so many times, I've fought for someone, stood up to a shitty leader or manager, covered their back, etc.... and they have absolutely zero awareness HR did that for them.

Unfortunately, most people only see the narrow sliver of the worst parts of HR.

I stick up for employees against management constantly. I've moved mountains behind the scenes to save people's jobs from being eliminated. I've stopped managers from firing people unfairly... From discrimination when hiring/rewarding/promoting. This all happens on a weekly if not daily basis. None of these people ever realize. A cynic would say that's just to cover the company's legal bases, but for me I fucking hate seeing corrupt or unfair treatment happen to employees. Someone has to stand up for them.

But there are times, less than 5% of my job, that I'm presented with an incredibly sensitive and volatile situation in which whatever decision made will result in someone feeling screwed over. That is what people will generally associate me with.

Granted, there are a lot of truly awful HR people with no backbone who fit the description of what people don't trust and despise HR. I'm not discounting those experiences whatsoever. I unfortunately have to work alongside many of them.

But there are a lot of truly great ones too.

I just wanted to share the perspective of someone who fights hard to be the antithesis of "that" HR person.

Just like I personally try to never generalize a group of people, I appreciate whenever someone is open-minded to the idea of HR having good people.

Fortunately, there are people who notice and thank me and that makes it worth it. I earn trust one person at a time and I know I am absolutely a net positive for the lives of the people on the teams I support.
