Not caring about your PTO reasons is NOT the same as not carrying about you. You ARE an adult, and you can plan and take your rest days as you see fit.
Some bosses don’t hand-hold so much, as they’re busy or just not interested in things that don’t affect the team and its smooth functioning. If your boss trusts you to plan things, to seek out help if you need something, and doesn’t care about the minutia, that’s a very good thing.
Depends. I’m sure Cascadia and ColonialUSA will make and keep friends, but the central states far less so.
It all depends how they re-organize after the country is split in 4.
Man, I wish! One of my contracts is with a gov-like org, and they’re all-in on the slop.
Reminding them about PII and sovereignty is telling, and you know they’re beyond help as soon as they say “yes, but”.
What would ironically sickening look like?
Try getting rid of your gangsters detroit[:] it helps.
It was infrastructure costs. The more bungalows you have, the more upside-down your finances are.

That’s hilarious.
You see how HE doesn’t lose, even when the corp dies?
I wouldn’t say “too woke” at all.
Not having met the man, though, I’m not at liberty to decide his guilt or innocence, how mature or simple he was, how platonic or pedophilic he was.
I’d always caution against unassailable certainty, but you decide your own safety level.
Student: “language is prescriptive not descriptive”
Teacher: “you fail 3rd grade spelling”
And I absolutely support keeping people back who believe English should be guided and evolved through “Likes”.

Second-hand, even.

Taxing, faxing, relaxing; why do people put the extra X in there? indolence?
obviously a layoff tactic.
It sure smells like it, right? But, and I’m repeating myself and others, the important part here is that, if it is a layoff tactic, it’s a horrible one: as per the Dead Sea Effect, the people who leave as a result of declining workplace environment are those most able to leave, i.e the most employable staff, with each round of departures. Thus, the people whom Meta would want to stay around are the people most likely to find, get, and depart for jobs elsewhere. And while Meta are bastards, the mechanics of working in a massive org like that one score really well for skills companies want.
I wish them luck in this terrible job market, and hope they can find a supportive environment again. We can always do with more smart people working for the greater good instead of against it.
Fun fact. When Captain Vancouver sailed up the strait eventually named Juan de fuca, he spotted an aboriginal group in canoes, painted aggressively and paddling furiously. He passed a village, near what was ripple Rock, occupied by another band, soon thereafter.
On the return trip, that village was occupied by the group he saw in the canoes earlier.
Even before Canada was a country, the people occupying it were displacing others.
Of course, the Clovis people may have something to say about displacement as well.

Contracts are contracts.
Can confirm. It feels like it was eleven.
This. 100 times this.
Apparently shower beer is a sublime experience.
If I had this in my college years - impossible since we had no Internet available yet at all - I’d’ve been laughing. Stay home, stay online, and hack all the waking day? BSc in no time.
A dear friend lived near the uni in her home town, and so lived with her mom, rent-free, and just went all-out on coursework. In 3 years she got and paid to receive a BA. She earned enough for a BSc too, but didn’t pay the fee for convocation and so doesn’t have it.
Three years. Wow, would that have been awesome.
There’s a trend, here.
