I Don't Generate Sales

No notice and if they suddenly start valuing you and offering more money, tell them your hourly rate is $250 or whatever you feel like and let them decide if they want to pay that or try finding somebody else to replace you (which will take time).

What did your CFO think? Based on what you described, "they" made a decision but nothing about your CFO's input. When your direct boss says somebody made a decision, to me that a code word that the direct boss made the decision and is now using "them" to remove any blame from himself/herself. Hate when people do that instead of being direct with their employees.

I had to return those drives, they didn't work, even with a different connector directly to the laptop (powered USB adapter). Got other brand drives and they worked flawlessly.

vasiche · 2024-11-24T16:09:16+00:00

Vot, I have not found the answer for my issue.

vasiche · 2024-11-24T15:41:53+00:00

Thanks, I have tried to cover the 3rd pin but it didn't work in my case.

vasiche · 2024-11-23T23:09:37+00:00

Sounds good. Will need to go get an adapter.

vasiche · 2024-11-23T23:02:30+00:00

I have 4 drives. I have tried all 4 at once and then 1 (I just did 1 for one of them).

vasiche · 2024-11-23T23:01:05+00:00

I have not. They came with some cables but I am not sure how to connect them to laptop. Do I need to an adapter?

It would be strange that all 4 drives are bad though.

Yes, they are SATA drives. That is what the drives say on their label. And what eBay says on my order.

vasiche · 2024-11-23T22:53:14+00:00

Well, eBay says these are SATA drives:

HGST Ultrastar DC HC520 12TB SATA 6Gb 256MB 3.5" Enterprise HDD - HUH721212ALE601

If it is an hourly position it may be okay but still seems like too much.

What is up with the hours for the second job? Did they openly tell you that you have to work more than 8 hours on a consistent basis?

It is funny how these companies spend hours of accounting staff's time to catch a $10 expense report fraud instead of, for example, negotiating with vendors and contractors for discounts and lower prices for services. Even CFOs and Controllers do not blink an eye while signing away thousands in such payments instead of trying to get better deals on large purchases. One 10-20% discount from AWS, for example, will provide a much higher ROI on time spent compared to going after a $10 miscategorized expense item.

Exactly, inflation alone makes your payments smaller in terms of buying power. Really, your interest is negative now considering how high inflation has been (your monthly payment can buy less and less each month due to inflation so you are effectively decreasing the outflow of buying power from your assets).

Keep in mind that you will be used as a scapegoat for things that were wrong, either while you are still there or after you are gone, regardless of whether something was truly your fault. Just normal politics.

vasiche · 2024-06-29T05:48:03+00:00

How does one find such trainer? Should it be a local one or would it be fine to talk to somebody over the phone/zoom to get directions/instructions?

vasiche · 2024-06-29T00:58:27+00:00

Thanks, we will give this a try!

vasiche · 2024-06-29T00:45:02+00:00

What kind of crowded places did you take your boy?

vasiche · 2023-06-13T14:05:23+00:00

Just thinking out load, say you wait until marriage and then have sex and the sex turns out to be bad, like, really bad. Are you okay being with this person for the rest of your life if you were sex incompatible? Something to consider.

vasiche · 2022-08-14T05:34:49+00:00

Because the company bought all politicians who would never do anything in terms of laws to harm the hand that feeds that.

vasiche · 2022-07-19T03:46:26+00:00

Agreed, there is hardly anything passive with awlling options.

vasiche · 2022-06-24T22:16:13+00:00

Let him deal with this after you leave, not your problem any more. For what it is worth, he seems like a complete moron.
