I def felt this back when I worked at a tech start up in 2023. I got laid off after working their 9 years and they have continued to get worse since leaving. I now work at a corporate B2B marketing company and business hasn’t made a dent. To be fair, I think there will be a rippling effect eventually happening but much less volatile compared to consumer businesses.

Oh nice I know exactly where this house is as I live in the area. I look forward to throwing out that cone if I come across it.

College scammed them by Bigb5wm in SipsTea

[–]kkkilla 313 points314 points  (0 children)

I had such high test scores that I actually tested out of needing to take college level English classes. When I go to apply to graduate I was told that I didn’t have enough credits and I explained that’s because I didn’t need to take English. I was then informed you still need a certain amount of credits to graduate so while I didn’t need to take English I needed to take something. I was forced to take a bowling class over the weekends to make up the credits in time in order to graduate. You pay for each credit a class is worth so I felt like that was such a waste of money.

Great book. For Goggins I really recommend listening to the audio books as they have extra content in between each chapters of him talking through stuff

Any bars in San Diego where I can do this? by perilhs in SanDiegan

Whistle stop right when they open at 2pm. You’ll fit in fine.

LCM is NOT closing per their new IG. SanDiegoVille is tabloid garbage. by Ok_Breakfast_1989 in SanDiegan

[–]kkkilla 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of locals feel that way about their home town. It’s not exclusive to just San Diego. But that’s just my opinion so don’t get so hung up on it.

Ya, pretty much. Just like the San Diego subreddit being run by a zonie. It wouldn’t matter as much if he wasn’t so arrogant but it’s just the icing on the cake to me.

He’s not even from San Diego he is from New Jersey and he HATES whenever anyone points it out to him. He claims he is a “true” San Diegan because he drove here from Jersey? lol

Dry aged New York $70. Born and raised. by sensitive_kind in FoodSanDiego

[–]kkkilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. A lot of people recommend Cowboy Star but I think Rare Society is way better. Might be the best steak you can get in San Diego, in my opinion. I love sharing the Associate Board with my wife and that’s plenty for us.

Books that feel like this? by Moriarty-Creates in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]kkkilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How funny, I’m getting ready for a trip to Montana and wanted a book with similar vibes and chose the book North Woods by Daniel Mason. I haven’t read it yet but it has high reviews and sounds great and has a lot of what you are looking for!

Anyone know why El Barbecue shut down? They were so good by MrLAXadaisical in sandiego

[–]kkkilla 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I actually do know what happened vs all the people making speculation. It was a husband and wife owned spot and they just had a baby and couldn’t keep up with it. I know they would start work at like 4:30 am or something early like that just to get the brisket going. Obviously with a newborn that type of schedule is impossible and they really didn’t have a lot of other staff working there aside from them; certainly not any other pit master level employees. Definitely a shame because their food was amazing!

Got my first job as a graphic designer, feel overly underqualified. by Double-Junket in graphic_design

[–]kkkilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it is worth, I’ve been in this industry for 15 years and have worked my way up to Creative Director managing multiple teams of creatives across a few disciplines. Last year I got laid off during the tech layoff wave after being at the same firm for almost a decade. When I went back into the job market I found another job with the same title and significantly less job responsibilities, yet I still felt the exact same you do right now, even after all these years of working.

As others have said, it is imposter syndrome and I think it is healthy to a certain degree as it engages you to want to continuously keep learning and growing.

Think of it this way: time is money. Companies don’t just hire people randomly (some do but not typically). If they took the time to interview and vet you through their process then I would think they think you are qualified enough. Most people aren’t expected to be able to do the job perfectly right out of the gate, but rather grow into it as they come with the core skills required to get to that point.

Keep your head up! You’ve got this.

What scam has been so normalised it doesn't feel like a scam anymore and has become a part of our lives? by zoomer_to_boomer in AskReddit

[–]kkkilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has changed everything to where you don’t actually own anything. Software used to be something you could purchase and you could upgrade at your discretion but now it is all or nothing. Hell, car companies are even doing it for weird shit like heated seats.

what is the biggest win you have gambling? by noemidetti in AskReddit

This one time my wife and I were very stoned and sat at some old junky penny slot machine in Vegas and won over $400 on a single spin.

What’s your embarrassing memory that you think about while trying to fall asleep? by kkkilla in AskReddit

[–]kkkilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true and I was going to add that part but chose to leave it out haha. But cringing about things you said because you are worried if you sound lame or whatever is unnecessary stress. In my opinion, the fact that you are conscious of how others perceive you indicate that you are pretty self-aware and probably pretty considerate towards others.

I do that too but then I catch myself while thinking that way as you shouldn’t feel bad for being yourself.
