I haven’t presented any. I added my personal experience to what’s in the essay and so did @956 Worldwide. Others said they had not observed something like that, which is also fine.
I rejoined "Big Tech" 8 years ago and can 100% confirm I saw what you saw, and pretty much exactly as you described it. At one point I recall thinking, "man, I'm fucked next time I look for a job"- not because my skills weren't top notch but because I'm a white male (50+ these days) and everything I was seeing/hearing during out hiring cycles was going super out of the way to not hire white males.
I'm not complaining here, just reinforcing that what Bozo witnessed was/is very much a real thing in some fields.

Too funny. I've been hearing the term "glazing" used quite a bit the last 6 months or so- prior to that I'd never heard it before. I've never heard the phrase "gassing someone up" but I'm guessing they're similar.
QuoteIn slang, "glazing" means giving someone excessive, often insincere or unwarranted praise and adoration, essentially hyping them up to an over-the-top degree

I would go for the double salary because compensation is why I work.

This is where I land. I certainly enjoy WFH but I'd be fine going back into an office regularly for 2x unless it was some ridiculous micromanaging situation with a shitty commute.

went to the saxon pub on saturday night to see the damn torpedoes do a deep cuts acoustic tom petty set. hadn't been to the saxon pub in forever, but it's the exact same as it ever was. they were doing 4 separately ticketed shows on saturday 4:00 doors cover band 6:00 monte montgomery 8:00 tom petty cover band 10:00 eric tessmer. kicking people out between each show. glad they've found a way to make some money and stay where they are...but holy shit it was like a retirement home in there. tom petty set was alright, didn't love their song selection.
I still go to shows there fairly often. I like that the staff don't put up with people talking through/over shows and will respectfully tell them to stfu.

Very jealous. Seeing LCD in NYC during the holidays sounds like a great time.
It was a blast- absolutely fantastic show and the sound system setup at Knockdown Center was well beyond what Emo's had for the Austin shows earlier this year.
It fucking ruled.
@mycox and I bar hopped through Brooklyn before and after the show and eventually called it quits around 4:00a.m. I just got back to my hotel in Manhattan 😀
The crowd here tonight was noticeably younger than the Austin show I attended back in April.
Awesome time

Hmmm... interesting. I could bring some Donut Taco Palace.
You have plans @KaiserSoze ?
There's a good chance I'm in for this. Immamac's Zilker home is stumbling distance from my place and at the moment I have no travel plans.

The U.S cannot be competitive in the sinkhole economy until we stop partisan politics and focus on the important issues.
That's exactly what Big Sinkhole wants you to think.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
in Daily Texan
The trail is fine and ChickenSandwich is clearly full of shit, afraid of his own shadow, and clearly never uses it.
I'm on it multiple times per week sometime 5:30-7:00a.m. and other times after work well past the 5:30p.m. timeframe he cites as being so unsafe.
We had this same conversation on this thread 6-9 months ago. When asked for receipts he had none for this supposed "after 5:30" Thunderdome version of the trail he rants about.
It's super fucking laughable.
