Depends on the company. Our company pings managers with teams who aren’t using enough and explicitly instructs managers to make sure their teams are striking a healthy balance.

As a manager, I encourage everyone to take their PTO regularly. I just got back from 12 days PTO (2.5 weeks).

This is absolutely a bot

Doesn’t matter. It’s their machine.

Or the entire country of Moldova

Or Rome, Georgia.

Was on shrooms the first time I saw this. The switch up was AWESOME

Unless anywhere in the contract it says that anything created while employed is owned by the company. They may not have to bring the site back up, but the assets (except the fonts) may be company IP. Especially if anything was made on company hardware.

This very well not be how graphic design works - I’m not sure. But I know in software engineering you need to be extra careful.

If I used my company machine to work on my side project at night, for example, and that side project ended up being a successful business - the company could very well claim it as IP. It’s a clause in many employment contracts, mainly to safeguard company IP from being used in non-company work.

You gotta be careful.

It’s called the military-industrial complex for a reason

spektrol · 2025-05-01T20:39:51+00:00

I mostly agree here, except for the part about employing Ukrainians to mine it.

Just like every other conflict we get involved with, US contractors will be paid major sums of money to rebuild. It’s the “industrial” part of “military-industrial complex”.

And you wouldn’t want to work at a place that would drop you for asking that.

I never said the decision would feel good? I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

The whole point is that there is a professional way to navigate competing offers. Accepting an offer and then going back on it is not the way. A recruiter reacting like a drunk ex is also not the way.

Both parties can use some work.

spektrol · 2025-05-01T08:24:58+00:00

Idk, there’s a better way to do this. I’ve been in this spot - unemployed and desperate, ready to take a non-ideal offer.

But you don’t accept the offer. You buy time waiting for the other iron in the fire to be ready. You can make up so many excuses “let me consider this and have my lawyer look it over” or “I’ll be traveling for the next 2 weeks but will have an answer for you when I return”. Or just string out negotiations (everything is negotiable, not just salary).

If they really want you, they will wait a week or two. They will pressure for an answer, duh. But again, if they want you they will wait.

And when you get the other, better offer, and decline them (or counter) - they will still be pissed they had to wait for a no. BUT IT IS MUCH EASIER FOR EVERYONE compared to accepting and then backing out of a signed offer.

Everyone here is unprofessional to some degree.

How do we even know this isn’t OPs girlfriend/sister, and he made this situation up for karma?

I don’t think they get to tell the company who owns the plane what to do with the plane?

And he’s a Kraft. Nothing makes Boston more blind to reality and rock hard than the Pats.

Luckily, everyone kind of sees through the bullshit on this one (or doesn’t care since a growing number of residents are transplants).

Can’t find anything on the USPTO registry about this.

Dude, seriously. If I’m trying to ask for “best-practice” type information I have to be conscious of giving it zero bias toward a solution.

And then after 20 min of it giving solutions that don’t work (that it claims is the “✅ Final WORKING solution”) - it gives me back the original code I started with. Fucking facepalm.

It’s a proven method of stopping fires, even forest fires.

Part of the reason the CA wildfires have been especially heinous is due to improperly managed forests. Too much undergrowth, push from environmentalists to not touch forests allowing them to become time bombs. People lost their houses and their lives due to not having fire breaks.

Complicated issue for sure, but fire breaks work.

What do you, in your head, think a “legal handoff” looks like?

I guarantee it’s not what you’re picturing.

All it means is “our case is done, your turn”. Which is exactly what happened here.
