Thank you, dorky IT instructor who made an alarming number of South Park and Austin Powers jokes in his videos!

Edited to fix the really stupid typo from phone posting.
I think they were a software engineer doing stick market shit.
I've also done stick market software shit for ~9 years.
Right now I'm just about to spin back up from 1 day a week to 3 days.
I'm currently working remote for a job I had in Sydney from Melbourne (both before and after this ramp up).
Keeping my original Sydney salary pro-rata with 0% expectation for me to ever return to the office is making it pretty hard for me to want to search for a new job.
My heart is not massively in finance or whatever but then I enumerate what getting a new job looks like:
- I would have to interview. A lot of interviews are shit.
- Lots of other jobs have toxic work environments, this one is pretty relaxed for me these days
- I would have to work 60% extra hours for the same or worse pay
- I would probably have to go to the office which even more hours and limits where I can live comfortably.
- My dog would be lonely when I'm at work.
- The thought of proving myself to a whole new set of engineers is not appealing.
So I think I'll keep my current job and try get my shit together enough to do something meaningful with the extra time off I have.
I might idly browse just in case something truly amazing shows up.
Pretty sure I know who you're talking about and wasn't he a very high end tax planner (/lawyer)? Which of course, means he was heavily involved and knowledgeable about various finance vehicles and stock stuff.
I work with a bunch of em. What are you specifically curious about? Depending on the area, it can be anything from accounting+ to dedicated fishing expeditions in financial data to company due diligence and everything in between.
Analyst and financial analyst job classifications are overused in industry so if you have some sample positions there may be more help.
SKFM? I think that's right.
As a result, my hospital has launched into a series of "Stay Interviews" to find out why people work at this particular brand / location.
The opening question was "What brings you to work every day?" And when I said "Money." it really sucked the air out of the room. But that's what I planned to do. I feel like management believes people should be proud to work for <REDACTED> and I think that's ridiculous. It's a billion dollar corporation, they don't love is or anything.
She's been asked (most recently by her sister's shitty new husband last Thanksgiving) how she can justify extorting hospitals to take care of critically ill infants. Her answer is that there are sick babies everywhere and the real question is why are so many hospitals driving out their staff and paying mercenary wages for visiting nurses instead.
Also Sales/Marketing: Users are complaining that the site is loading slowly!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also nurses and teachers should get goddamn paid.
No one can stop the march* of time!
I know, I tried!

If I were not WFH today I'd have just come in late, but.. eh.
considering that it was an hour earlier than my normal starting time, caught the reminder just in time to show up on time
not so good is that department person not showing up to the meeting???
Don't talk to the cops.
Signed,
A cop
yeah who's fucking idea was this
You a cop? If you are you have to....wait. ok.
Sounds like the kind of thing a Business Man would say…
Presumably Neolithic humans?
Go open the folder on the Onedrive. Oh. When I made the flashdrive, instead of copying the files like I asked, Onedrive apparently just moved them all and deleted the originals. Cool. Now that lost flashdrive has the only copy.
Cool cool.
You might be able to find it in the Recycle bin if you access Onedrive from the web portal.
Oh I moved it last school year.
And I'm just like.. damnit I hate my country that this has to be a thing.
It is super gross
A Dutch kid who doesn't understand identity politics? Then they weren't paying attention to Dutch politics either.
Spent 90 minutes on a three way call between an 85 year old doctor and American Express trying to help her file a dispute after she gave a phone scammer $9000 over the phone.
None of this is in any way related to work, and honestly probably should be her grandkids’ job, but whatever. I’ll earn those brownie points for the IT department.
The new hire doesn't understand how that's racist or
