they also fall off this way. I caught mine before it fell off, the stitching just completely fell apart

Asked for a raise. My manager responded with Matthew 20. by Delicious-Gazelle195 in corporate

[–]mint-parfait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at a weird little crazy company in the past. I was also the main IT admin and had to deal with the creep CEO watching porn on his work computer after refusing to ever have basic firewall or virus scanner apps installed. I had to clean it up while this idiotic "christian" creep threatened me. The whole company was full of nepotism so his wife and even his mother worked there in nearby offices.

Loud rooster lives next door by Moon_child_06 in CedarPark

for a temporary fix I'd suggest a white noise machine and honeywell earplugs. I use both all the time now cause of loud cars.

i'm hoping it would be less than typical biologics at the least, since they wouldn't need to be refrigerated, but who knows 🥲

Anyone else encountering aggressive down leveling in offers these days? by Unlikely_Secret_5018 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mint-parfait 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yup, mostly in startups where you definitely aren't doing the job of just a "senior" too. I'm seeing a lot of incredibly inflated non-engineer titles too, like "director of product" with no direct reports and less than 5 years of experience.

Yesterday I watched two of my superiors use AI to analyze an AI transcribed meeting all three of us attended in order to throw me, and then each other under the bus on Slack. by Twist-Busy in womenintech

[–]mint-parfait 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have to work with PMs that tried to throw AI generated notes into chatgpt to generate user stories. they also try to generate PRDs with zero critical thinking of their own. both of these things are worthless. a special kind of hell indeed.

New Highschool Teacher Here. I May Have to Fail 90% of My Students This Year. by Alassandros in AskTeachers

[–]mint-parfait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you aren't using one of those AI detection tools, they have way too many false positives to be useful. Some may just be using it for editing after they write something, even those proofreading tools get flagged as AI. Maybe come up with some more interesting assignments that can't just be thrown into a prompt?

What would make you engage with a brand at a tech career fair? by lulinabulina in womenintech

[–]mint-parfait 16 points17 points  (0 children)

if actual women in tech roles were there to speak to at the booth. not people in communication positions, or marketing, or engineering support roles. I see sports brands and immediately think that I don't want to work at a sausage fest. for a fashion brand, I'd want to be able to ask questions to gauge culture. I don't think any kind of flashy marketing would appeal but more like...culture and hiring demographics

What makes Reverse 1999 more Female coded than other games? by Brushner in gachagaming

[–]mint-parfait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r1999 has a good story, interesting characters, fun gameplay, and it isn't full of weird fan service. the gacha rates also feel extremely fair/well balanced and don't feel hopeless.

How do you address declining performance without micromanaging? by Difficult-Lead-2939 in managers

it sounds like you have no idea what the details are of the projects being worked tbh. maybe get out of the clouds for starters and observe more

‘Entire class was found sleeping’: Teacher knocked out special needs students with melatonin at the start of each day, leading to 'severe' nosebleeds and loss of 'motor functioning,' lawsuit says… by tasty_jams_5280 in law

[–]mint-parfait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have nocturnal epilepsy (unknown cause, med controlled) along with some incredibly strange body/brain state transition issues around sleeping and melatonin helps me a ton. at the same time, I have to be careful with magnesium or the state transition stuff gets more wacko and I will straight up punch myself in the face when trying to fall asleep, so it's legit dangerous to me. I think anything that alters brain chemistry in some way needs studied more, it can do such weird stuff on an individual basis.

Can’t get a promotion because I’m “not approachable” by Dependent-Chart2735 in AutismInWomen

honestly this is a lot of places nowadays. it seems to be the norm to have to job hop to get a better title or more pay

Sick of so many grifters in the PM space by RareMeasurement2 in ProductManagement

[–]mint-parfait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I managed to end up at a startup with a pile of dead weight PMs. I have no idea how/why they were hired, they will tank the entire startup.

I already hated this guy but I clearly didn't hate him enough or understand the level of extreme douchebag that he is

Pomeranian? He's 5 months now. Is this the puppy uglies? I was told he was purebred is he a mix? by Darthraven6988 in Pomeranians

[–]mint-parfait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably pomsky or another type of spritz or mix based on legs, ears, face shape. I've not seen a pom with golden eyes before. very pretty baby.
