By Kidjr Go To PostPeople. I'm a headhunter. Have been for about 12 years, well that and corporate bond sales.this explains everything. tbh you should be crazier
hahaha fair, I always wonder why every lawyer who's able to doesnt do a stint out there or in the caymans etc. Money is fantastic great weather, incredible food although I imagine it'd get boring very quickly.

Not even the half of it lol.
I really hope to write a book one day, not sure how I'm alive, let alone married with a child .
Job took the strangest turn today. Apparently I got dropped headfirst into some office politics.
Basically had to pick a side before I even got rid of my temp badge...

By Fenderputty Go To Post“I guess if I would have to hypothetically choose between these two scenarios I could potentially see myself choosing x”It was fucked. For whatever reason everyone was looking at my hire like a threat to their job or something. No one wanted to train, onboard, etc. I didn't even know what number to call if I was to show up late.
I usually never believe one group or clique or section is as fucked up or backwards as others say but after this onboarding process I'm inclined to believe it.
My first job as a contractor was for a small company with one other developer there also on contract.
They let him go 2 weeks into my tenure and told me before they told him....
Vicious little company, that one was. Sure, everyone was nice and polite, but the owner would cut you loose in a heartbeat. The person who I interviewed with.... gone before I actually started. The only other internal contractor... gone after 2 weeks. The last person hired by the guy who hired me (not a dev, different role)... gone. Then one of the designers abruptly put in his notice. I hadn't even been there a month and people at this small company were dropping like flies.
The most notable one to me was a few months into my time there, one of the marketing people put in his notice, and the owner kicked him out that same day. A couple of years later when I finally left, I kind of hoped that was going to happen for me, as well, but it didn't. I could have used the time off.
tl:dr: DY, maybe they're right.

Congrats.
By diehard Go To PostThat has to be a totally different job/career right?
Yeah like just graduate?
Congrats tho
By /sy Go To Postcongratulations
By Kibner Go To Posthell yeah!
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostCongrats.Thanks!
By diehard Go To PostThat has to be a totally different job/career right?Yeah the job I have now is entry level-ish IT while the job I just accepted is a mid-senior level position back in the gaming industry. Left the industry three years back of work life balance issues/burnout/general fuckery, but several people I trust have said this new company is pretty amazing to work for. A lot of people have been there for 10+ or 20+ year which is crazy.
I get that people feel comfortable to dump all their secrets with me but sometimes it's one hell of a burden.
I've had things like abortions, a girl who slept with a married teacher when she was 16 but I had a recent one that has been hanging heavily over my head.
I've known for a while that a friend of mine who keeps posting photos showing "oh, look how my married live is so great" actually has a terrible marriage.
Last week, another friend was drunk. I've known him for 6 years and I'm pretty sure that friend 1 is the only woman he ever truly loved.
It's an open secret in our group of friends since ever, he had a huge picture of the woman in her wedding day hanging on his office and many people called him out before he finally took it down.
Back to last week, I confessed that there's a big chance that the woman's child is actually his.
There are many signs that point that way and the woman is full aware of that possibility but has said she will never do a test to determine who is the father of the baby.
That's completely fucked up, thankfully she lives far away and I only see her a couple of times a year.
Still, I am not looking forward to the next time I see her and the boy.

i think it's those things your told to follow as a child but come to realise they're bullshit when you get older, batong.
Atatiana... I swear the USA are so fucking lucky that black people are dispersed all of over that country but there should be anarchy. I dont care about justice, the system, order, right and wrong.... fuck 'em all. Nothing will change without it all burning down, she was playing video games with her nephew for crying out loud.

I guess I have to appreciate the difference in make up in the UK and US. I like to think that would never happen in the UK just because of how
compressed everything is. I mean there literally be riots (again) but who needs police to kill you when we're perfectly fine doing it ourselves (case in point 15 year old stabbed over some bs altercation). This systematic killing of black people by the police in the US is just fucking tragic, depressing, angering etc. fuck it man...
By blackace Go To PostAs recently as 1985
just sigh man just sigh.
I worry about the police with my nephews, they're both abnormally big for their ages, and if anything happens to them I'm not gonna be out there singing or passing out forgiveness, I'm going to plot and wait to get my revenge on whatever cop does something to them.
Getting money only reduces my chances of getting fucked up and killed over nothing.
Shit is tiring knowing I'm busting ass just to slightly reduce my odds of being a misunderstanding...
