I often have a hard time networking because I was raised by two very serious people who took their jobs very seriously. I made the mistake of moving to Chicago where it seems like the accepted way to "make friends" at work is for everyone to pick someone to be "Dwight Shrute" and they bond by crapping all over them as much as they can.
I can't begin to tell you how utterly distasteful, unprofessional, and pretty shocking this I find this considering I work in a field full of nerds.
I have no qualms about leaving workplaces with toxic cultures like this (about 90% in Chicago). I have no desire to recommend or be recommended by people who's idea of bonding is forming a clique of bullies, find job security in doing as little training and professional development for new employees as they can get away with, and excuse their own poor performance by drinking until they can't remember their own name.
My work speaks for itself and has been enough to get me in the door wherever I want to go at the salaray I deserve.
Or do what I did and work for a company with Remote in its DNA and move somewhere so cheap you realize a 100% increase in salary from cost of living decrease.
Just think of how amazing the museum will be for your great grandkids when we completely dismantle them when, inevitably, their stated mission goals supersede common sense and a responsible relationship to the American public.
If the glass is half full of citizen traffic and half full of non-citizen traffic and the NSA drinks ALL of it and I don't think they should be drinking ANY of it does that make me an optimist or a pessimist?
It hardly seems like the academic, probing, research oriented state sponsored kind though. It feels more like the half-baked but polished-seeming "Cloverfield 4" ad campaign kind.
The point of a payday loan is they DON'T report to credit bureaus... I'm sorry but this is complete malarky. Payday loans are terrible terrible financial instruments and should never be used as credit...
but I have used a payday loan in the past for an emergency when my wife needed to extend her job hunt by 3 weeks and we had credit that was about to go to collections and my guaranteed annual bonus was a month out.
There are some cases where a payday loan can be used effectively to PREVENT damage to your credit history.
Google, who owns Youtube, are distributors at best, and distributors who didn't come by their trade first hand.
They bought into it. They are pretenders who, for the first time in recorded history, are able to perform a massive product recall in the name of censorship without incurring backlash on a scale that would cause bankruptcy or riots.
To wish away all that context in the name of "digital" is a fool's errand.
the [28,000] disks had "labels nearly identical to the discs provided by Dell for its computers and had the Windows and Dell logos," the Times wrote. As a result, Lundgren pleaded guilty to two of 21 charges, conspiracy and copyright infringement. He told the paper, "If I had just written 'Eric's Restore Disc' on there, it would have been fine."
There's nothing funnier than watching a new manager who's good with clients try to onboard somebody.
I wish there were firmer guidelines and pay structure around the title, "practice lead", that it came with the same face time with the C-Suite, and non-billable hours to actually do the job of onboarding and workplace training as managers get.
At the same time, people in the armed forces are probably sick of hearing "GOOD JAB!" and getting slapped on the back while their countrymen do nothing to prevent the need for the means of war.
