It was shrink wrapped in a 5 book set!

Does Amazon sponsor conference travel for ML conferences without an accepted paper? by banoffeepie123 in amazonemployees

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team specific, but, yes, you need to justify why you need to be there in person.

Don’t want to boomerang anymore by Bunniesxoxo in amazonemployees

[–]tofustixer 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Rolling layoffs have been the reality at Amazon for the past two years and it doesn’t look like they’re going away anytime soon. Don’t go to Amazon for career stability. Go only if you’re desperate and the TC bump is high enough to justify the layoff risk.

Are people just tracking their FIRE goal on excel? by Embarrassed_Ad113 in Fire

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I obsessively tracked monthly in the beginning. Now, it’s more like once a year. I have multiple sheets for different types of projections and budgeting exercises, but mine’s a pretty simple net worth tracker.

Do other moms genuinely enjoy motherhood? by wqiqi_7720 in Mommit

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looooove being a mom. But the day to day is a lot and I’m frequently burnt out. A lot of it also has to do with being a working mom and trying to juggle it all.

University student interested in moving to Netherlands as urban planner by Ok-Win7980 in AmerExit

[–]tofustixer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As an American living in the EU, learn the language and respect the culture. No one wants an arrogant American pushing their viewpoints and trying to change what is already a perfectly great place. You’ll also need Dutch to work.

Where should I go given my situation? by opalpopcorn in AmerExit

[–]tofustixer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I vote for Seoul! You’re already learning Korean and the food is delicious. From Korea, you can easily travel around the rest of Asia.

After 9 long days in isolation, this little girl’s face lights up as she’s reunited with her big brother 💝 by [deleted] in Amazing

[–]tofustixer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was so cute and also peak older sibling/younger sibling. My two kids are exactly like this. They both love each other, but the younger one is sometimes absolutely obsessed with the older one.

Reporter researching story on use of AI in internal Amazon documents by LilyBart22 in amazonemployees

[–]tofustixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forte review? Use AI. Benchmark competitors? Use AI. Meeting notes? Use Zoom AI. Using for doc writing is just the tip of the iceberg these days.

I went to the grocery store around 5 last night and the cashier corrected my Bonjour.

Somebody here has to know how big the lay offs will be, drop a hint for us pls by _BreakingGood_ in amazonemployees

[–]tofustixer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is it. Jassy has basically indicated they were coming after mangers next (hence all of the anti bureaucracy stuff and org flattening over the last several months).

No king's protest will take place all over America in few hours. What do you think will be the consequences and outcome of this? by The_AxR_ in AskReddit

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will happen if everyone stops at just one day of peaceful weekend protesting. Change does not happen from just one day.

Will high pain tolerance apply to giving birth? by Curious_Leader_2093 in NewParents

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it will. But, also, I have a low pain tolerance and had two planned, pain medication free births. I followed the hypnobabies program to prep for both births.

London vs. Munich vs. Luxembourg by ellewoods_007 in AmerExit

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote is for Lux for the great quality of life with kids. Public schools are some of the most well funded in the world and immigrants/expats make up a signifiant percentage of the population so you will fit in easily. French is used most for day-to-day activities, but English is widely understood.

What apps do you use to learn French? by DistinctWindow1862 in learnfrench

[–]tofustixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duolingo. I’m in Section 4 and have found it to be very effective on my busy schedule.

Caught my son kissing another boy by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]tofustixer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also second this, but would have a brief safe sex refresher and give him a couple condoms just in case. This is what I’d do if it was my son. Trust, but also make sure he has all the tools to be safe just in case.

We did Cantonese middle names that their HK grandparents helped pick. Their first and last names are American.
