Protip for interviewing: Don't end it by asking me how you did. That's a real putting me on the spot move, and if I was already a bit unsure, now I'm unsure how to tell you that too and woof bud. Feel free to solicit feedback after acceptance or rejection, that's good and healthy. But in the moment is a lot dude.
I've almost always been asked that, and I always respond:
"Good. We'll get back to you within a week with our decision."
I was too taken aback to be that quick sadly. I also hesitate to say "good" when maybe it wasn't. I want to give helpful feedback but that aint the time ;_;
tbf "ask about it after the interview" is also kind of crap because the overwhelming majority of jobs do not give any feedback beyond, "sorry no" if they even tell you that much. I've never actually gotten a formal rejection email from the actual hiring manager, and that includes when I applied for internal promotions. They just are too busy to care about someone they didn't hire.
So it's tricky either way, is I guess what I'm saying.

Yeah but in that case you weren't getting the feedback anyway. And I understand a lot of HR has the policy of "no talking" just to avoid any liability around discrimination. And it's right and good to want feedback to improve. But putting the interviewer on the spot in that way is...a bold power play, and if they love you, it'll be great, but short of that it's probably shooting yourself in the foot as far as getting that job. Interviewing sucks and I'm not defending the opacity of the process.
Not sure if anyone else felt the disturbance in the force...I'm on a meeting where someone said 'Democratize the Data' which meant show the daily data on screens around the office.
I think I need to start looking for a new job, I am burning out. How have full time work from home jobs worked out for you all that have them?
Skills, not sure if job hunting is appropriate for this thread?
I have been in IT since 1999, IT manager at 2 financial institutions and I just want something in not as critical of a role. I have administered Windows servers since NT 4.0, Redhat Linux server up to Fedora core 3 (long time ago I know). Mostly windows workstations since Win 3.11 (yay for mostly working WS networking). Basic scripting in Python, Perl, PowerShell, small Foxpro programs. eCommerce programming, Ariba, Oracle and other smaller eCommerce solutions/integrations. Firewalls, switches, cloud solutions, basically everything a one person IT shop in a business would need you learn, but really can't master.
I always like to end with, "what's our next steps?" As it's open enough for them to give feedback either openly or subtly, it's a legitimate question, and throwing in the "we" feels like I'm doing some weird psych thing

Good is always a nice, neutral, non-contentious response. I use it even when it's not true.
How was your day? Good.
How is work? Good.
It's much better than spending the next hour+ telling them about all the shit I wrote up in the OP about.
Not sure if anyone else felt the disturbance in the force...I'm on a meeting where someone said 'Democratize the Data' which meant show the daily data on screens around the office.
So that was what that was. It kinda felt like someone brought a salami sandwich with them on the train.

I went through this and I was like "Oh, that is this character, that is this one, I can see where this leads..."
Tried to answer as honestly as I could, thinking I might get an O'Brien or something.
Your Result:
Odo
You are Constable Odo! Strict and proud, you hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else. Be a little easier on yourself, you're doing just fine!
.... Well, fuck, if that didn't read me like a book in more ways than one.
Me: It's been a really long week with a lot of hours, I think I'll leave the office early on Friday
Coworkers: Let's have a meeting at 3 PM on Friday!
Me: Why...
A meeting at 3pm on a friday just means you get to stop working 2 hours early
Work wont happen in the meeting and then theres no time after to possibly start anythng so its win win
Now the meeting is at 4PM!
Ha
ha

edit: I need a new fucking job
"Sorry, I can't attend the meeting, I'm going through a tunnel."
I'll never forget the time (during undergrad) when the nice woman who managed the student union office diligently assembled everyone's schedules and figured out that the easiest time to schedule our weekly staff meeting was 4pm friday afternoon.
and it was like... I know you're a postgrad and all but it isn't that we're all free on fridays at 4, we just don't write 'self-destructive substance abuse' into our schedules

I'm going to be honest. I've never been able to read a stacked bar graph. My mind is incapable of understanding how it works.
I have taken so many math classes in school that I managed to get a B.S. in Math in college. And yet.. my brain just bounces off those graphs. It adds an extra layer of math to figure out the individual amounts without providing anything extra that couldn't be seen by placing the bars next to each other. It makes it a little cleaner, but more opaque.
I didn't even learn how to read them until after I left school. They are a visualization they never formally taught me in my math classes, so I didn't pay attention until I saw them popping up in infographics randomly.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Stacked bar graphs aren't quite as bad as pie charts
but they're pretty fucking close in my book.
You use a set of pie charts (or %-based stacked bar charts) when you want to show the change in composition over time. E.g., we used to get 5% of our revenue from [Demographic], and today they make up 45%.
You use a set of stacked bar charts when you want to show the change in composition and total amount. E.g., we used to get 5% of our revenue from [Demographic] and we made $1M, and today they make up 45% of our revenue and we make $1.5M.
You use graduated pies when you're doing a map where the overall color impression is all you care about or when you want me to smack you upside the head.
You also need to be smart about your color usage. This is a not great chart:
This is a much more readable one:
It calls attention to the part you care about (the bottom section) while showing the progress of the whole.

Manager: I hear you. Also somebody on a particular team is saying they're gonna retiring. Things will shuffle when that happens but a position on the team would be open. I've already told their manager you'd be a great fit and if you did want and get the opening it'd probably double your pay.

I tend to make characters that are similar to Garak when I do RPGs anyway, before I knew Garak's deal.
tbf "ask about it after the interview" is also kind of crap because the overwhelming majority of jobs do not give any feedback beyond, "sorry no" if they even tell you that much.
