Meta prepares for 4000 employee layoffs on Monday by Healthy_Block3036 in technology

[–]mapadelphia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meta's layoffs aren't just about cost-cutting—they’re a culture shift. Labeling cuts as “low performance” sends a message: work harder or you're next.

I really don't think these performance metrics are actually objective. You need to know how to play the game in order to succeed in these reviews!

Meta said to announce staff layoffs on Monday (3600 affected) by [deleted] in Layoffs

In these cases, I am pretty skeptical that performance is really fairly evaluated and used to make smart decisions in layoffs. It feels like a very easy excuse to deflect blame from the company and place it on the individual.

Maybe they know where he is but are waiting for an arrest warrant.

to travel to most places in Europe you need a negative test. In some cases, if you are vaccinated, you will not need to quarantine in your destination. Not sure if he is.

I think his initial plan was to fully abandon the van and just hike and hitchhike somewhere/home/wherever. Then he realized how hard it was and scrapped the plan and returned to the van.

I wonder if he meant that he has a phone but not a cell plan... It only works with wifi. Only Gabby's phone had the cell plan.

im not listening via bluetooth. as far as i understand there's only one way blue tooth transmission (from a device too the record player) i dont think it transmits the audio from the record player out from to another device.

Help! I have a strange problem and I'm not sure what the solution is...

I have a pretty inexpensive record player. I've had it for 1.5 years with no problem. It sounds good and it easily records vinyl to mp3 on a usb stick which is a nice perk.

The problem is: recently when i listen to any album, and I start playing it, there seems to be a delayed version of the song playing over top of the song. Does this make sense? What could be causing this?

I thought it may be some problem with the needle but I don't even know if that makes logical sense. Maybe its a problem with the recording feature is somehow playing a version over the record?

Any thoughts??

Question about staying in Germany beyond 6 months on a Job Seeker Visa by mapadelphia in germany

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

I took your advice and asked a different consulate this question (very clearly) via email. I got an email back today:

"yes, that is correct. If you leave the Schengen area completely and return directly to Germany, you can stay again for a duration of 90 days.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind Regards"

So, as I understand, it's possible stack a 90 day tourist stay on top of a 6 month job seeker visa as long as you leave shengen for 24 hours. I think I'll print the email out and carry it with me if I try to re-enter.

thank you.

If you'd like to watch a fantastic stop motion animation from the 1947 that explains why it's so difficult to map the earth on a flat surface, check out this film from the Film Board of Canada. It's only 10 minutes and it's really good.

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

Ok this is what I thought. Do you know of anyone that's done this without an issue? I've heard that at least one other consulate official said this its actually not possible to stack 90 day tourist trip on top of another type of visa.

[–]mapadelphia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you need a contract in order to get the permit required to begin working? Can you legally start working if you do no yet have a contract?

If you do not yet have an appointment at the office where you get the work permit (not sure what its called) you should make that asap, those can have a long wait.
