  1. I'd like to see a sanitized version of the deck
  2. why not
  3. I'm just kicking the can down the road. It's bad mental health for me, but good for my kids.
  4. I accepted an offer, gave my notice and was ready to leave for the new gig and my employer countered. I;m happy to stay as I don't want to be out there "pounding the pavement" as it were with Covid and two young kids that are not old enough to be vaxxed but I regret staying. I'm back out again as soon as I can get my kids squared away, at least I get to collect a retention bonus in July.
  5. How about some chilled piss?
  6. Both WFR/RIFs I've been a part of had Legal and HR, one a the Fortune #56 the other a smaller shop. I'm old, I've been doing what I do for over 25 YRS. Much of their participation depends on why the RIF/WFR is happening and are there items to consider like Benefits, Stock Options, Non Competes, Confidentiality, Inventions, etc.
  7. typically, HR and Legal should do it and not your Manager, you can talk to them later, but the actual call or meetings should be those other departments and a different manager from your department.
  8. kinda, some RIFs and WFR or whatever are executed better than others and it all depends on your severance and options in the market.
  9. but you had to drink the whole thing vs I only need two or three fancy boy beers.
  10. I spent $80 + at the beer shop the other day. Bought 3 Pints of BB Black Ops in cans, 2 Pints of those Bourbon Barrel Goose Islands, a couple cans of a Double NEIPA to try and a four pack of another brand of stours. didn't feel robbed.
  11. Why not Sub Sight? play a game of pool?
  12. I call BS....it took too long to get to and eat at SS for lunch, You could have easily gone to Dan's or Pizza machine. And it you went to that Gas Station, why not the bowling alley?
  13. You don't travel much do you?
  14. Who else went to 39 cent hmburgers in High School?
  15. Didn't Double Daves have an all you can eat Pepperoni Rolls night?
  16. we had a cabbie in Amagansett one night regal us of mucvh he despised the "Boober" (Uber) for ruining the cab business. LI Cabs are a whole thread unto itself. it's Ronkonkoma, and its where you wake up if you pass out on my train line coming home in the evening, the poors also take it to Macarthur Airport to fly Southwest.
  17. early 90's, right off I-35 frontage road and 290, by the Amayas Taco Village...once there lived a Bombay Bicycle Club (think: shitty Fridays or Bennegand ripoff) that had all you can eat Fajitas. good times for a college kid
  18. Mac owns the Taco Shack Bowl, just saying
  19. meh....money is being spent, doesn't mean much in reality. Example: I see investment in IAM and IDAS all day, and everyone is a disruptor with the nextGen AI, ML, blah blah, blah in very mature and crowed spaces. they can't all succeed. this specific market is hot b/c the tag line (with some truthiness) that "Identity is security" and the traditional IAM players needed to evolve, which they either do or they perish (looking at you CA and RSA) but we don;t need more Okta's or Ping's or ForgeRocks, etc. The investors backs up the spend with the "new normal" validation of everyone WFH, everything SaaS, everything cloud. Great, again the barrier to enter and survive this market is huge and the Enterprise has largely solved the issue and it's a race to the bottom on the SMB. fucking "unicorns" and "disruptive"...add that to the buzzword bullshit list. It started with "Synergy" in the 90's
  20. Not a big deal, I got one after we had the twins. Easy peasy, frozen peazy. about a week to rehab
  21. Sirloin Stockade on North Lamar. Food was shit but we ate there every Friday for team meal before football games, might have possibley contributed to how awful we were
  22. Propane is the most "self sufficient" but connecting to your homes NG line is the most hands free free / automagic option.
  23. And that's ok too. Sometimes knowing the likely outcome is helpful. I'm been bought and sold, all good. Sometimes you the smaller/start up shop gets acquired and you get incentives to stay for a year or two before you are folded into the big shops comp plan. For that period of time you are the shiny new toy and the overlay and its money money money till its not. The place I'm at, there were maybe 150 of us when I joined 7 years ago and it was a diamond in the ruff that had been around for 10 years and everyone had forgotten about it. We grew (350ppl), we merged (750), we acquired (2500 ppl in our BU) and we are a part of a (60K ppl) global organization that builds electrical systems and provides services for the aerospace, defence, transportation and security markets.
