That’s the universe telling you to enjoy your new child instead of posting on dfd

He’s asleep. Not much to enjoy. I’m bored. This is a welcome distraction

just you wait

Wow that is a LOT of tech based anger management problems. tech is supposed to work for humans, not the other way around why not consider an online high yield savings account, and then keep a local bank with a debit/checking to deposit said cash? Wealthfront is at like 4.8% APY, and it goes to 5.x%...

Yea time to move on… capital one is decent fyi. as much as i hate big banks i would just do this, but they don't have a presence here. considered an online only bank, but that makes cash a PITA; not a big deal until the refugees started paying rent in cash. also annoying that even with fed prime ra...

Well fucking your direct reports would be highly unethical and immoral

I will be honest I understand the anxiety surrounding it. You take all 12 or 18 weeks or whatever and the company still functions, hard not to be paranoid that your role might be deemed "irrelevant/replaceable" especially in this economy. Or you feel out of the loop/useless. But I will te...

I find it hilarous that they offer you these benefits and for some reason you are atleast threatened to be terminated actually using it. It's like your car is advertised with their launch control and for some reason warranty is void. The :math: ain't :math: ing This is unique for everyone and depen...

We only get four weeks of paternity leave, :tits: at our company get 12. Seems like everyone uses it no problem though. A few of my neighbors work for the big banks here (BofA, Wells Fargo) and even the dudes take their full 12 or 16 weeks and they’re not even allowed to check email during that tim...

I’d be asking for them to refund a portion of the cost.. Im talking to the corporate first thing tomorrow or tuesday assuming being tomorrow is a labor day. Its not fair and :tits: roomie already got their couch while they ordered at the same time. Only because we wanted the pull out bed for visito...

if you get fired for taking your benefits that are guaranteed to you as part of your employment, you can sue for retaliation and/or file unemployment. Alternatively, you can use those 18-weeks to search for a new job... But I understand feeling the pressure of having to come back to work. Also, in p...

Having the first kid is always the hardest because that’s the one that completely Re-adjusts your life/structure/etc. nothing wrong with going for 2 as long as you’re okay with ending up with Twins /etc. YMMV I am having a blast with this young one because I got all of my anxiety/fears/troubleshoot...

You can’t say traditional gender norms are outdated and/or artificially segregated by society and then claim that you identify with the traits and characteristics of said gender ideology (woman). It sort of defeats the purpose does it not? If we believe gender is fluid and gender norms shouldn’t ex...

What is a woman?

The reality is that Toyota should fulfill the warranty on their dime and then follow the legal options/process for handling it with Subaru since they are "a supplier". Nobody held a gun to Toyoda's head to sign a deal with Subaru. It says Toyota on it. Warranty the fucking car. I wonder h...

The reality is that Toyota should fulfill the warranty on their dime and then follow the legal options/process for handling it with Subaru since they are "a supplier".

I heard there is a perpetual shit flinging/finger pointing contest between Toyota and Subaru because Toyota doesn't want to warranty an engine they did not make and Subaru won't warranty an engine that is not in a car they themselves produced.

:wat: do you need a hotspot for? The Google voice stuff is just a number forwarding service. I'm on the road every other week and have to use internet constantly for my job, including to demo shit to customers in meetings. What's even more aggravating is the corporate IT shit constantly disallows m...

Can’t you’d set up a google number for free and have the Google phone app on your cell so you aren’t giving away your personal cell number? Still blows, but at least you aren’t paying for a second phone line that way. I did consider this but it’s a bit of a hassle + I need hot spot and such :ohwell...

My son was born May 8, 2023... it's a blast to experience it the second time without freaking out over everything as a first-time parent :ohdang: Congrats dood! Mom and boy doing well? How is his sister handling everything? Labor/delivery was way smoother this time. Only about 3 hours, out in one p...

I'd be thinking more like: Get remote job based in USA, rent a flat in EU for 182 days a year.

I’m sure some agencies allow for it.

Department of state, cia, etc sure do

I can't fully speak for gov but what if when you want to travel internationally and work there, they won't allow it due to vpn concerns? I haven’t experienced that, but don’t think it’d be an issue unless you work somewhere that requires a secret or top secret clearance. We just sent some of our fo...

Hope it helps! The pay is meh, but the benefits are solid with PTO, sick leave, 401k matching, pension, etc. Work/life balance is second to none for most agencies.
