Scrubbles

Hey sounds like there’s some optimization to the government that can be done right there…

Very accurate, why only make boat money when we could make megataght money at the expense se of our customers and reputation?

Sorry I was with you, but I take issue with the work an extra hour to meet a deadline. I did that just this week even.

We have a deadline, we had time for us allto get it done, but one member was doing things his own pace. That’s okay, but he needs it done by this date. I start checking in more and more regularly, he says it’s fine and he’ll get it done. Well it is Friday and it’s due Monday, and he says that he guessed it was harder than it was, and he didn’t have crucial component done. To which I said I’m sorry to do this, but it’s due Monday, let me know how I can help but sounds like you’ll need to work over the weekend.

I’m huge on work life balance, but if you’re slacking at work and dragging down everyone else, damn right I’ll ask you to work late. I’m not a manager so I can’t do reviews, but as a lead it is my job to make sure things get done on time, and if I don’t push one person, the the whole team is at risk when layoff season comes around

Yeah, as a developer who wants to not be homeless, I’ve had to take my fair share of dubious roles that I felt didn’t add anything to humanity. I’ve been disillusioned from college where I thought my tech would help people and humanity, I know what I do.

But, I can be proud that I turned down Meta. I was desperate for a job, and I got to the offer stage. It was a tempting offer, but luckily another job rolled in. Less money, but I knew it was a moment for me. Maybe my code has been less than moral, but at least I know I can draw a hard line there.

Fun fact, I asked about work life balance and the recruiter happily told me “oh it’s great! We have onsite laundry and sleeping pods, and the cafeteria is open all the time!” Great, hard pass. Sounds like something college senior would be excited about. Me, I want to go home to my big bed with my spouse.

Never thought we’d be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I’m all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let’s go save the rest.

Think more Expedia and booking.com, sites that thr hotels have no say over.

I worked Expedia for a while, and there is a complete disconnect between them and hotels. Hotels offer spare availability, we sell it, but customer shows up and the room is gone. Our service showed it but maybe the hotel had already sold it and we were out of date, maybe the room definition wasn’t correct. So the hotel says they can’t do anything, call Expedia. Expedia doesn’t want to give back money so they fuck around with horrible customer service. The customer blames the hotel.

It’s why I never recommend third party booking sites anymore. Book directly with the hotel. Get the loyalty program with the hotel. Yes maybe Expedia saves you 20 bucks a night, but your experience will be guaranteed with the hotel. Expedia can’t make those promises.
