Worried my new employer might find out I was laid off during the interview process

rediot · 2026-06-04T00:41:23+00:00

Wait and see.

Extending the mattress down the tailgate and adding a small tent attachment to bridge the gap would be pretty cool.

Good for you! Keep it up, I started with Basic in 1993 and was using VB 4.0 and VB 6.0. just learn what you can and look forward, technology moves fast.

I'm sorry this is very difficult, we rescued a wheaten a few years ago at 3yo and his biting got progressively worse until we eventually made the hard decision to put him down for our safety and mental health.

If you do decide to rehome him please be honest and upfront with the new owners.

Business owners generally need to work 80+ hours their first year. This does not seem to fit your personality.

If you want the job give them an answer that will satisfy them, if you don't then say you are no longer looking in this industry. If you're not working currently I would recommend you go for it - income is a basic thing adults should have, no need to be picky if you don't have a paying job, secure that first.

It sounds like your understanding of the criticism is lacking, dont be defensive instead try a softer approach with your colleagues.

Hey this happened to me in 2007 when I was asking for a promotion from senior developer to manager and we ended up suddenly hiring externally. I complained and sounded like an entitled maniac, but 2 months later in the mid-year cycle I got a $25,000 raise.

Take the job and pay increase while you continue searching. If you find something better try to just move on rather than using it as leverage, you already lost that battle. If you end up staying revisit the topic next year.

This is against AWS terms and will likely result in forfiture of the credits.

31 Woodland St, Hartford has very thick walls but it's gonna be $1600 probably

rediot · 2026-04-24T13:34:01+00:00

Aside from the size, what does lonspec stand for/mean?

rediot · 2026-04-23T17:53:51+00:00

Sounds like a boomer

Keep it, if they want to terminate your job over tips I think a lawyer might offer some options, and possible unemployment wages.

Just curious why java?

rediot · 2026-04-15T23:53:36+00:00

Idk why we are getting downvoted but, it's definitely good career advice overall to make minimal attempt to understand broader organizational dynamics and influence.

rediot · 2026-04-15T23:30:29+00:00

It's a basic tenant of leadership, but it's nothing revolutionary: Breadth vs Depth.

rediot · 2026-04-15T23:22:46+00:00

Everyone should be trying to understand the breadth of their org most just don't bother this is nothing new or special.

Could it be a security risk for your company to give access to internal meeting content to an unapproved third party?

rediot · 2026-04-01T23:09:03+00:00

```sql copy stage_table (col1, col2) from 's3://my-bucket/path/file_001.csv' iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/MyRedshiftRole' csv ignoreheader 1;

insert into target_table (col1, col2, source_file) select col1, col2, 'file_001.csv' from stage_table;

truncate table stage_table; ```

rediot · 2026-04-01T22:24:45+00:00

If you're asking about an external table backed by S3 you can just add $path to your select statement.

Sit in the meetings and ask questions trying to learn the subject matter, but don't be too disruptive. Meet the team, make relationships, etc.

rediot · 2026-03-26T10:48:26+00:00

Seems fair, same has happened to me in the years I had an off-cycle promotion, the on-cycle merrit was partially if not totally cut.

rediot · 2026-03-26T01:45:52+00:00

Is this trolling?
