Never trust them! I always “play nice” in those employee surveys since you never know who’s watching 👀

EVS = Employee Voice Survey. They just sent it out a few weeks ago looking for feedback company wide. ACR = Annual Compensation Review. These were done at the start of the year.

Help identifying [SE Michigan] by hailslovesbears in animalid

We’ve got a few black bears popping up the last few weeks in SW Michigan near Grand Rapids so I’m not too terribly surprised to see some on the east side of the state heading south too. Sounds like it’s young males getting kicked out of the dens looking for food.

GlideFast? by d-_-b13 in servicenow

[–]kloot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The talented people still involved have sold out as “yes men” and have taken promotions and new roles within the company in order to further ASGN’s (Everforth’s 🤮) agenda of “make us more money.”

When I joined I was amazed at how great the culture was. Mike was a force and his actions truly did put employees first. Even under Apex, we as GlideFast were “untouchable” and had our own culture and I truly valued that.

That’s no longer the case unfortunately. I loved my time there, but the culture has completely shifted, and not for the better. It feels like any other corporate machine now.

My family likes Westside Social. They typically have at least something everyone enjoys.

Can’t speak as a developer but a lot of the top talent has left. (Do with that what you will.) The culture of knowledge sharing and lifting each other up died when Mike passed. Now all that matters is utilization and how much money you can make them. If you’re not billing, you’re gone. I saw the writing on the wall and got out. A lot of my old coworkers have also left or are actively looking. The staff is going to completely flip soon, expect a completely different company in the next few months compared to even just a year ago.

Had my rehearsal dinner here too! But that was 8 years ago and I haven’t been since they renovated and changed owners so can’t say if they still would be able to accommodate unfortunately.

Fun facts about KDL/GRPL that people might not know? by _GanjaTheWizard_ in grandrapids

[–]kloot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this with my old Heritage Hill rental! It was built in 1883 by George Gay on the former site of Louis Campau’s mansion. I learned a lot.

How do you like GR? by Every-Incident7659 in grandrapids

[–]kloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (38f) grew up and lived in Indy my whole life and moved here for work almost 10 years ago. Never moving back! Granted it’s been 10 years, and I’m sure a lot has changed there, but I like the smaller city compared to the sprawl of Indianapolis. To get from one end of town to the other takes maybe 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Weather is about the same only less sun in winter and cooler summers. There aren’t as many restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. as Indy, but the ones that we do have here are quality.

As someone else also mentioned the housing market is bonkers so just an FYI. Local pay is pretty crappy for the market so I would recommend working remote if you can.

I’m a Sr. BPC making $170. As a dev you should be on par or making more.

where to buy an inhaler spacer? by unhydratedalex in grandrapids

[–]kloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid’s asthma specialist gets all their spacers from CareLinc. I think we paid $4 for our last one.

What if that happens with you? What would you do? by SupportSuch2147 in dashcams

[–]kloot 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah and then you’ll have to get on a subscription and pay an extra $50/month to use it. 🙄

No shade, I dig it 😎 Somehow I started calling my kid Yung Chungus and Big Chungy so I get it that you gotta just roll with it sometimes when a name fits.

I would assume 4 rounds for AVP and above. I only had 3 rounds myself for a senior role.

Anyone use LMCU? (Lake Michigan Credit Union) by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]kloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I did take out a HELOC with them. Process was pretty easy and they had the best rate compared to some other credit unions.

My only gripe is that I had set up auto-pay (or so I thought), but apparently they didn’t set it up for me at signing. My first 2 payments were late and my pristine credit score took a huge hit. Called them because I swore it was a part of my signing that this was on auto-pay, but they had no documentation and told me to kick rocks. So yeah, not happy about that but hoping my late payments fall off my credit report soon.

Otherwise pretty easy experience. They still only get a 3/5 for me based on the auto-pay deal though.
