at least you're staying sensible about it all. any external experience is good to lean on and learn from too
By balddemon Go To Postliterally the hardest thing everSo, reading this like 3 weeks later, high as fuck, how do i become the guy my boss loves every day? I'm producing good work, progressing the direction he's seriously encouraged me towards, and educating myself so I can further the organization (and basically double my salary 🙄). Should my job be focused more on improving my relationship with him or improving my skills?
I spent like 10 minutes writing the above paragraph out, then I realized it's literally what I already do every day. I'm happy with what I do, and see the future I want 5 years from now. I literally have a 5 year plan 😳 what the ACTUAL fuck lol
Also go to school DY
Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, said on Tuesday that it planned to lay off about 10,000 employees, or roughly 13 percent of its work force, the latest move to hew to what the company’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has called a “year of efficiency.”
The layoffs will affect its recruiting team this week, with a restructuring of its tech and business groups to come in April and May, Mr. Zuckerberg said in a memo posted on the company’s website. The new announcement is the company’s second round of cuts within the past half year. In November, Meta laid off more than 11,000 people, or about 13 percent of its work force at the time.
Meta also plans to close about 5,000 job postings that have yet to be filled, Mr. Zuckerberg said in the memo.
He said he took responsibility for last year’s layoffs, blaming his zeal for staffing up on the surge of use early in the pandemic.So, you gonna reduce your comp package then or what? No? Oh, so you're just saying that you're taking the blame but not actually have any repercussions?
Amazon is laying off another 9,000 workers, according to a memo to employees CEO Andy Jassy sent to workers on Monday. The employees affected by the cut include those in roles in AWS, Twitch, advertising, and human resources.$500bl in revenue in 2022
By Perfect Blue Go To PostOh man I wish I could go back to school, lmao. Enjoy that stuff much more than working.
No kidding. When I started in tech it was a green field of amazing possibilities and now it's a consolidated mess with 1-3 monopolies per vertical if you're lucky and ALL of them are going the route of big brother consolidated IOT surveillance garbage. But I'm now old enough that going back to school makes no sense whatsoever financially. Have to cash in and retire early if I can, I guess.
Oh, and don't get me started on the non-compete agreements.
Yeah when someone says they’re not into school, I just can’t relate. Nothing but good experiences on my end. If it was financially viable I’d go back right now and do a Masters or another BA.
Doesn't the fact that they can't work out whether someone is in the office or not based on their productivity given them a hint?
The manager class is writhing and screaming as though it's quite aware of its impending obsolescence.

I just got approved as an Emmy voter. I didn't even know I was eligible until I got an email from work asking us to apply
They don't mail out screeners anymore. :/ I guess that's environmentally friendly but links and codes and shit is such a hassle

By Kibner Go To PostA 5% raise this year. Not as good as the previous year's ~8% raise, but still decent, imo.😤💪

I still wanna feel rewarded for pretending to work you know
I know this is a pretty old thread, but I decided to share my experience. It's great to hear that networking from college led to your first job and helped you make connections for your current job. It's also smart that you've learned from past experiences and now ask more questions during interviews to understand the work environment and culture better. Additionally, I’d highly recommend exploring the available career options to choose the occupation in the healthcare and medical fields. These fields offer tremendous career growth and development opportunities and the potential for well-paid and interesting work. There are many different paths to choose from in these fields. Many of these jobs also offer the opportunity to specialize in a particular area, allowing you to pursue your interests and further develop your skills.
By MikeBeltran Go To Post-You ok there Mike?
so our new director is bringing back awards at the upcoming sales conference and making it more like how it was when he was in sales maybe 8 years ago
Territory Manager of the year gets a sweet samurai sword from world HQ so I hope it’s me. I didn’t really care until I saw the award by accident. I feel like they’re going to give it to one of the old heads tho I’m still one of the newer folks on the team even though by the numbers and obstacles I had to overcome I deserve it

Reminds me of when my professor told us she was published as some kind of flex. Absolute waste of time and I'm still paying for it.
By Laboured Go To PostLike, is that not quite simply illegal in America?They said "don't share with candidates" so pretty sure they got the law on their side
By Batong Go To PostAnd how is that working out for you, dipropretty good.
that's probably par for the course, some poor dumb schmuck just put it on the listing

These client visits are a lot easier when the things out of your control go well and you have nothing to apologize/kiss ass for. Didn’t even have to dip into my per diem they insisted on treating me to dinner/lunch instead of the other way around.
The R.T.O. Whisperers Have a Plan
A niche group of consultants is trying to get you back to the office. It’s not going too well.
A niche group of consultants is trying to get you back to the office. It’s not going too well.
Most return-to-office experts share Tsipursky’s antipathy toward mandates, especially ones requiring workers to come into the office five days a week. “Mandates are a nuke,” Zach Dunn, a founder of the hybrid-work-technology company Robin, told me, “when a much less severe thing will work.” Top-down rules from executives make employees feel disempowered, and as the labor market remains strong — with nearly two job openings for every unemployed person — white-collar workers know they don’t have to accept conditions that don’t suit their needs. Business leaders have also tended to struggle with enforcing mandates because they don’t know whether to actually discipline people for defying them. “I don’t think the mandates have power,” Dunn says. “No one knows if they’re working or not.”
Many chief executives assume that being in an office makes workers more productive. But research shows that hybrid work doesn’t typically harm productivity. More likely, it helps, as a recent paper indicated that people put 40 percent of the time they saved from cutting their commutes back into work. There’s also prepandemic research suggesting that remote workers take fewer breaks. Nick Bloom, a Stanford economist and hybrid-work expert, who has been studying work-from-home data since long before the pandemic, tends to emphasize this data on hybrid productivity when meeting with business leaders. “Companies have this idealized vision that when people are in the office they’re working all the time,” Bloom says. “It’s a mirage. They’re not really working that hard in the office, and they’re working pretty hard at home.”https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/11/magazine/return-to-office-consultants.html
What the office enables, hybrid experts say, is relationship-building. A forthcoming study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that when people work remotely, they receive less feedback on their work. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, researchers found that remote work at M.I.T. led to a 38 percent decline in “weak ties,” meaning people had fewer of the casual professional relationships that help advance their careers. And a study in Nature last year found that virtual communication can curb creativity. Data on office attendance from Robin showed that when people see their teammates in the office, they are more than twice as likely to come back.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI gotta get better at taking days off lol
Ugh. Taken 2 days off so far this year. My boss takes crazy amounts of time off and mandates no one else can take any off while he's away (we're a small firm). And then he bitches at me when he sees I've not booked any time off.
i had that before horse, it sucked. getting denied time off then yelled at because you didn't use any.
luckily i work at a place now where this is no problem and they keep reminding you to take time off if you still have a lot for the year.

I'd rather not go in at all some days. I wake up knowing I'm gassed then get to the office like a zombie
