Not gonna post the link, don't search it so you don't give them views. Basically some dumb fuck from this place who talked to a reporter saying he feels bad about $750k from OE while everyone is getting laid off. This isn't Doxing btw because that isn't his real name, just his pseudo name he gave the reporter.

But whoever you are (you 100% browse this place), I hope you get laid off (I actually hope worse but I'm not gonna go there) for talking to reporters. You gain nothing from talking to a reporter. Is your life so vapid that you feel the need to have an article written about you to make others money? Jesus.

IGNORE any reporter who wants to 'chat' with you. It's always Business Insider DMing people here for their stupid stories.

I know for a guaranteed fact that Executive leadership browse this place. I hope they see this. They won't say anything, but I'm sure they will think of a response in their head.

My question is how are we suppose to own our jobs if we fear we are going to get laid off nonstop? Motivation on my team is at rock bottom, even my senior managers feel it. Almost everyone I knew who got laid off was an incredibly hard and motivated worker who gave everything for their job. Now they're gone.

I don't want to own anything if there is a reasonable chance that me (or my teammates who worked on the project with me) will get fired at random, for no reason. Don't even get me started on the forced attrition quotas..

I'm a tropical diver with about 400 dives all around South East Asia/Caribbean. I'm going to be in SoCal in July for a week and was wondering if it is worth bringing my dive gear. Are the kelp forests worth it? Is it usually a gamble for good viz?

Is catalina island the best choice for kelp forests in all of California?

For example, do fire calculations take for those wanting to retire overseas take into account significant housing inflation for when "undeveloped" countries become "developed"?

Right now, a lot of South East Asia is being eyed for early retirement. Is it reasonable to expect this area will become more "developed" and unaffordable as globalism takes over?

Hey guys, I have some time off I can burn during Fourth of July weekend. July 1st-5th.

I’ve been to all the islands already, but never on a holiday weekend. How busy are the islands in general? I figure they will all be busy, more so which one is the least busy.

I’m debating between hiking in Koke in Kauai, or shore diving in Kona. Is Kauai gridlock busy during that weekend? What about Kona?

I just log in, check my e-mails and move my mouse every hour or so. I work in ML Ops for a tech company. The max workload is maybe 2-3 hours a week if there an outage or some kind of support for gpu nodes.

No one checks in with me. The rare meetings I go to all have like 15-20 people in them and I'm just there, without ever having to give input. I meet all my performance reviews. It's been almost 3 years. I work from my bed, goon 2-3 times a day, go to the gym at 10am, play PS5 all day, take 3 hour naps at noon etc. I've survived several rounds of layoffs somehow but I guess my org is deemed mission critical since we are apart of the AI initiative.

J1 has me working 10~ hours a week as an SWE for a bank.

I'm doing this until I literally can't anymore. Net worth went from $110k to $670k via aggressive investing and a booming stock market. I genuinely don't know if I can re-enter the workforce into a real job anymore because I've developed such lazy habits.

This sounds like a larp post that is too stupid to be believable but I just felt like sharing. I'm curious if anyone else is doing nothing at work. I'm very well aware that I'm in an extreme unicorn position.

Tired of this fucking bullshit of not knowing if one day I’ll wake up and be out of a job to pay my bills and provide for my family because some fuck ass executive leader that makes 7 figures a year sees us a liability on a spreadsheet instead of a person

I don’t even care if we’ll make less or whatever. I just want job stability and peace of mind knowing I won’t be sent out on the streets in this awful job market on a whim.

Anyone else hear the same thing?

I feel for all of you impacted today.. I'm not sure how many were let go today. Apparently this might not be the end of it.

It seems like every single resort in Hawaii is very dated. There are almost zero boutique resorts, everything 'luxury' seems like a giant mega resort monolith with hundreds and hundreds of room. I feel like this is what was desired from tourism 15-20 years ago but high end travelers now want more privacy, something boutique and exclusive etc.

The Rosewood in Kona seems perfect for this, why is there no other similar resort on any of the islands? I guess there is the FS Lanai but that seems like it hasn't been renovated in a long time.

All land in this is world is "stolen" at some point, very few people went into virgin lands and didn't kill anyone for it. The only places I can think of, are maybe Polynesia Islanders.

I'm sure the Natives Americans killed someone else for X land, and that tribe killed someone else before them and so fourth. They weren't exactly a peaceful people to each other, with thousands of wars throughout history between them. The difference is the Europeans documented everything well, vs others that had no reliable concept of historical documentation.

So my question is, why is it a big deal about European colonization, but not how many people the Natives killed throughout the 10,000+ years of being in the Americas isn't a big deal? They stole from each other, as all current land in the world has been through numerous hands.

I don't understand, even with your own office, it sucks. Why would they themselves want to sit in traffic and have to deal communal shitting? Most C suites don't have their own private bathrooms in their office. Execs usually have massive, beautiful homes with a pool and even a private chef. Why would you not want to be home instead of breathing in nasty office air?

Is the return to office above their call, and more so due to shareholders/board wanting it? Or political pressure in order to get people to spend money?

Hey guys, any reports of you guys being able to get into Canada? I'd love to hear instances and how long it's been since the conviction.

Have any of you applied for the admissibility waiver? If so, did you use a law firm?

As in with almost no fixed lines, no porters, no sherpa support, no pre made base camps etc. You pack in everything and you pack out everything. Your poop bags gets collected when you leave to make sure.

How much more difficult would Everest be if the Nepalese government enforced it to be climbed this way?

Hey guys, I just moved to Kalispell this month. I am aware of the crowded summers at Glaciers - should I get an e-bike to avoid parking headaches and getting around the park? As in parking my truck somewhere like Apgar, then e-biking around to trailheads? I would like to go every weekend since I am local now.

I know they are against doing anything to mutilate your body, but what if they were to receive Spartan II tier augmentation and training since birth? Would they basically be unstoppable?

I work for a very well known tech company and we stopped doing LC interview rounds. I sat in an interview and our candidates are now tested on what they can build using AI tools for the technical round. There is no real right or wrong answer, you essentially show what you can design, build, and then how well you can explain it and your skills at problem solving when the AI isn't giving you what you want.

I actually like this a lot and hope more companies begin adopting it. We already use AI for the greater majority of our work and pipeline. The logic from leadership is if we're going to track how much SWEs use AI, and encourage them to use it as much as possible, then we should be testing them on that instead of memorizing LC that they will never use on the job.
