By Not Go To Postgodsend in SlackI do it. What's stopping you?

Had two good ones and two that felt like I've missed an open net 🤣.
Oh well, must think about the good ones.

By DiPro Go To PostI do it. What's stopping you?apparently the apple email client
I guess I could just email back an emoji
This?
I mean yeah. I just mean like the discord style click a button underneath the post, done, rather than sending back a whole email
Unless that's a thing you can do now with newer updates

one of the OGs on our sales team is retiring and man it sounds like our job/company used to be 10x more fun in the 90s and 2000s
definitely wish there were more folks at/around my age w/ similar energy in our division to relate to

When I end up having to do a lot of database stuff, I always realize that my job is really just being a data pusher or a data pushing method designer.
By reilo Go To PostSo a data engineer?Yeah. It just comes in all different forms. How to present data, how to transfer data, how to structure it, sanitize, validate, and on and on and on. It's really what the whole discipline is about.
Like, it's not new to me, it's just that working in a database for an extensive amount of time really highlights it. Lol
Remember how I talked about my gf going back to school? Below is one of her assignments for an art class. This is her first serious attempt at a non-pixel-art drawing in several years, so I'm very happy with how it came out. She did it over the course of three days while also learning how to use Procreate:

after about a year and some change going from a small family biz to a big company i really expected the people to just be...better.
like everyone conducts themselves more professionally but man just the talent/competency/drive does not compare at all.
my old job really looks like the crucible looking back but we came out as stars on the other side. these people are too comfortable at my job now.

By domino Go To Postafter about a year and some change going from a small family biz to a big company i really expected the people to just be…better.Is there a discrepancy in your benefits at your big company versus the small family shit? It's the one thing that I am highly keen on cause my current benefits / time-off policies are highly lackluster compared to my wife's benefits at her big corporate job.

But I can also see that contributing to people being mad comfortable.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI wonsalud!
By reilo Go To PostIs there a discrepancy in your benefits at your big company versus the small family shit?

im in sales so i'm full remote. most other departments like they have a hybrid schedule.
- there's Car reimbursement as a road rep even though I fly everywhere
- big ass travel budget w/ reimbursement w/in a week after the travel
- commissions get paid every 4 weeks instead of the crook ass schemes these small biz joints come up w/ to avoid paying you in a timely manner
it's definitely cush. i try not to complain because i know we have it really made in sales compared to other depts (and they love to let me know it) but sometimes it just gets to me because these other departments make my life hard. they have it pretty well compared to what i've seen/heard from other companies too. they just don't know it cause they only have this job as a reference point.
Let it be known in corporate that the better your perform and the more work you take one will be met with with more money but will also be met with more work being thrown on your lap from the useless people in the organisation. They will work you like a dog.
By domino Go To Postoh its night and day. at my old job they worked us like dogs and had no respect for work/life balance even though they never showed up to work themselves.Yeaaa that's the gist I get.

Sometimes when I hear of stories of software engineers complaining at a FAANG I tend to shake my head cause a lot of these people have that as their only reference point as you said.
It's not that their stories or complaints are invalid, it's that they don't fully grasp how bad the exploitation is elsewhere. So relatively speaking I (with full bias in mind) think of them as having it too good. It's not fair either way.
By Lunatic Go To PostLet it be known in corporate that the better your perform and the more work you take one will be met with with more money but will also be met with more work being thrown on your lap from the useless people in the organisation. They will work you like a dog.This is definitely a thing. I always caution that if you never allow yourself to fail, your company will just raise your baseline to the last insane feat you accomplished and expect more from that point forward.
By Lunatic Go To PostLet it be known in corporate that the better your perform and the more work you take one will be met with with more money but will also be met with more work being thrown on your lap from the useless people in the organisation. They will work you like a dog.Yeah Im glad that’s one of our new directors main goals. How to get me and the other sales folks to do less and the other depts to actually pick up what they are supposed to do.
We have to do so much thinking and coordinating for other people it’s exhausting. Just let me sell and pass it off.
By reilo Go To PostThis is definitely a thing. I always caution that if you never allow yourself to fail, your company will just raise your baseline to the last insane feat you accomplished and expect more from that point forward.Facts.

Your performance will speak for itself in the end. Be a fast early riser and the sky's the limit especially in sale. Marketing is a field I have very little respect for as I deal with financial advisors and client associates and also in my personal life with bitch ass realtors with no formal education which are basically glorified marketers. I do however respect the drive to be a slimey as possible lol.

By Daz Go To PostLinkedin is the worst you guys.Linkedin is a necessary evil.
Worst site mankind has created.
Aye, good ok when looking (besides being a UI mess) but there's a lot of noise for nothing usually on there.
By Batong Go To PostAye,Treat it as a living resume repository and nothing more.goodok when looking (besides being a UI mess) but there's a lot of noise for nothing usually on there.
By Batong Go To PostThe ones that treat it as their own personal job blog though 🤣🤣Disgusting creatures.

By DY_nasty Go To Postactual starting dates to choose fromCrazy how when you take a chance on yourself and are in a position to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves life almost seems to work out. Seems like life would be so much easier if we were always in the position to do so life would be light work. Wealthy people really got it easy. I would have never have imagined that my salary could have almost doubled in 1.5 years.
i am in absolute awe of my life right now
madre de dios

Wealthy people really got it easy.what's crazy is my default mode is to beat up on myself regardless of the current positives lmao
i was feeling down since friday tbh. had a great weekend, not broke, family healthy, etc - its like my inherent response to this shit is to expect the worst. meanwhile rich white folks just expect shit to fall from the sky regardless of the work they put in its jarring to even be around them.
By DY_nasty Go To Postwhat's crazy is my default mode is to beat up on myself regardless of the current positives lmaoBredrin and why wouldn't they? Because that's just how things work in reality. Would be nice to have had that outlook from the jump. Because I can tell yah it sure feels good now to have that mindset now.

By DY_nasty Go To Postmeanwhile rich white folks just expect shit to fall from the sky regardless of the work they put in its jarring to even be around them.Of course they do lmao
Even concepts such as "debt" are just tactics for them to make more money

Because I can tell yah it sure feels good now to have that mindset now.There’s a base level of salt I’ll never be able to get rid of within because of this. It also feeds my scorn of how casually sorry people can be at their jobs.
