    Honestly doesn’t surprise me that they re-invited the guy, especially when he got fired. If he was there for a longer time, he’ll leave a hole which is gonna match his skillset pretty well.

    And the hiring manager isn’t the firing manager, so they won’t know who got thrown out for what reason. Their job is just to hire someone new and boy-howdy did they just find the perfect match for the opening.

        I don’t mind uniforms. At least I don’t wear out my own clothes, the ones from work are free.

          The majority of workplaces I’ve seen with uniforms require you to buy them. Maybe that’s changed in the last 10 years or so, that would be nice.

              They get around it by claiming you can deduct it from your taxes but you can only do that if you itemize your return which means you need at least (roughly, last year, married couple IDK the other filing statuses) $25k in deductions just to break even. To work at a job that is very likely to pay you minimum wage.

              Bertucci’s made me buy stupid uncomfortable black shoes that I never used outside of work. For a minimum wage job.

    I don’t remember how Xitter works, but how were there no comments interrupting during the approximately 7 hours of posting updates?

      Used to be, back before the enshittification, that you could view a thread of just your own tweets and not see a thousand nazis and bots. That was back in the days when a profile had its tweets in chronologist order instead of bullshit nonsense

    The odds are low but I have the opportunity to MAYBE do the funniest thing ever.

    I work in the TV industry. Often enough with video switchers that I had a random overseas person contact me about scheduling a 20 minute interview on my opinion of Software Video Switchers. It’s scheduled for Friday.

    I have ZERO to lose here. I’m gonna drone on about Blockchain.

    Does anyone know more about the request to add blockchain? (Last image)

      A few years ago, “blockchain” was what “AI” is now. Everyone was adding blockchain to everything. It was the next big thing, we can’t risk getting left behind, etc.

        And it was a fundamentally bad system from the get go for 99.9% of the systems it was applied to, just like AI.

        AI, btw, was just the thing that made people finally forget about blockchain technology, but as per usual, its worse than its predecessor.

        IT has this innate need to have these corporate buzzword cycles that lat about 1-3 years, where all IT companies must jump in this bandwagon for fear of being left behind, and each cycle is just pure uncut unadulterated shit, and each cycle, the shit smells worse.

          It’s not even IT itself. I vaguely remember some fruit juice company changing its name from “fruit juice” to “fruit juice blockchain” or something, and doing nothing else, and it’s stock price jumping by 3x. The stock market somehow got into its head that tech companies play by fundamentally different rules than normal, are worth inherently more, never have to make profit or even a product, and will someday all be money printing monopolies.

            Some algorithm probably triggering on keywords there. Interesting if one could figure them out and game the system by naming a company after whatever emerging tech buzzword hasn’t reached saturation yet
