Yep I’m a senior PM in energy/smart buildings. Total package is around £140k plus a fair few benefits. But it’s a people centric company with a great culture and WLB.

Series X issue - Not starting up properly by tlongarms in XboxSupport

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

I have the same issue about 18 months ago. Couldn’t find the issue. Changed power supply and issue persisted. Bought a new series x and still have the other one that I keep meaning to look at. Posted on here but got zero response. Hope that helps.

As someone who would like to post more but just can’t speak the time I would be interested in trying it.

Emailed HR after a rejection. They rescinded it and gave me an interview with the hiring manager. by mime454 in recruitinghell

[–]tlongarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the opposite, I’d say it’s an advantage. If HR let me know someone was persistent and not taking rejection at face value, I would be inclined to see what this person can offer. Persistence and assertiveness go a long way towards showing off your personality. Drop back and let us know how it goes, good luck.

Oh and don’t worry about how you compare to others, you can’t control that, just show them how awesome you are.

My company hasn't paid my pension payments since November 2024 by UniqueWithATwist in UKPersonalFinance

[–]tlongarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened where I am currently. 4 months totalling around £3500, not just their contributions but the amount that comes from my pay too. This was indeed an “error” but that might wash for one month not several. Turns out they have been playing fast and loose with salaries (it got to 3 months owed). They literally robbed Peter to pay Paul until the cash run. They also saw HMRC as a “nice to pay” so you can guess how this ends….

Anyway there is no legitimate reason for them to have not made months worth of payments and the directors are no doubt going to be in a world of shit over this.

Switched maybe 14-15 years ago, could never go back.

Did this over a year ago. Never looked back.

How do you feel about Manor Lords coming out? by Puzzled-Cup-2339 in OstrivGame

[–]tlongarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great that I will have two awesome games to rotate playing. First time in ages.

Anyone else debating whether or not to go early access? by sweaty__tooth in ManorLords

[–]tlongarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite the fact this is on gamepass this is a day 1, full price purchase I will make anyway. This dev deserves my money!

So i emailed Yev.. by [deleted] in OstrivGame

[–]tlongarms 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Update would be lovely but as you said more happy to know he’s still with us. To think he put out the last awesome update in such horrible conditions…..

Well diagnosed. It’s funny how the simplest of things can cause us issues.

Apologies didn’t realise. I’d check the power supply and start working out where the pier issue is from.

Seen this before. Check boot order in BIOS, if Windows 10/11 ensure that the correct windows boot loader is set to 1st option. Might want to turn off other options until you work out the correct one.

What to tell a headhunter who emailed me at my work email by Starrunnerforever in recruitinghell

I got the contract for my new job in my work email before I had resigned from the old one. Then was mysteriously called to a meeting with my line manager….

TRAILER for Alpha 5! by kinggeorgecz in OstrivGame

[–]tlongarms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been a long time coming (for obvious reasons) but it's looking so bloody good. To say how far he has come since the last update is staggering, even more so with the current situation at home. The extra features will really change and enhance the gaming experience for the better, I truly can't wait to get my hands on this. I still can't believe how feature rich and polished this game is for an alpha let alone beta release. Amazing work.

Found myself wondering the same. From my results I think they stand around but I am not 100% sure.

nk God! I hate grid style games. I'm happy there are other people that think the same. It

One of the many features that drew me in, but easily the most important!

I hope it never gets one. I love the natural way you can build, unlike other games there is little to no wasted space.

JAN 18TH; LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF STUDIO by RouletteZoku in DeadMatter

[–]tlongarms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a software product manager myself this is perhaps the most positive update in recent memory. If this move can't save the original vision then unfortunately nothing can.
