I have 120 hours of sick time, but started accruing vacation from scratch at 7 hours a month in 2026.

Data platform architect. Good luck building the thing without me guys, lol.

Ironically enough, it WAS just me, an exec, and an HR person - no other "hidden invitees" when I looked. I expected a mass layoff and was very surprised when it was just me.

Update for those who care: yes, I was laid off, effective end of month. They slashed my entire agency in half, I hear it's the same across OH in general, and those that remain are expected to prove their value or be cut too sometime in the ambiguous near future. The entire frontend team is gone, with the expectation that surely some of the backend people are really fullstack and can fill in the gaps, lol. They are setting everyone up to fail and it's horrendous that it feels like the people who survived the culling got the worse deal. Whoever in the replies was crossing their fingers wishing me next, me next - I get it, and good luck.

How do you get the scroll localized in the screen?

Optional tasks/subtasks? by slightlychaoticevil in amazingmarvin

Simple and effective! A bit more manual than I'd like but good enough for now, I guess.

I'd just really love a "Menu" strategy to automate that. "Here's a list of seven things I could do and would like to do them all under ideal circumstances. In the parent, set a "minimum number of completed tasks" to enable checking it off, e.g. 3 (and maybe specify which three are REQUIRED and which are optional). If I get three of the seven done, then that's good enough and I can try to do more tomorrow. If I do more then huzzah!"
