@motosubatsu Knew it! This organisation I work for could be the most confusing yet
So the HR woman said I might not be staying then my manager said her manager said we're staying doing an apprenticeship but HR do the apprenticeships.. I'm confused
@VarunAgw This was discussed back then also. See here.
Out of curiosity, what happened to that upstaged by unpopular intern question? Was it deleted because of being a troll post? I don't have a problem with that, on the contrary, but I also noticed in the past that other, also obvious troll questions were kept and edited, e. g. the infamous using some antiquated console text editors (vim and emux, I think) and others. That's why I'm curious.
@motosubatsu It was terrible up here, took me 3 hours to get home on the A1 because some 1 series couldn't get through the snow properly and was driving 20 mph on a usual 70mph stretch
and I couldn't overtake because the overtaking lane was just too dangerous to drive in
Speaking of snow, our governor in the People's Republic of New Jersey is spreading so much salt, after getting pantsed by the first snow storm, that just entering the state raises your blood pressure by 10 points to the diastolic.
@Twyxz I'm too obnoxious to go that long without posting.
Misery loves company and I am more than willing to share.
@Nofel If he stayed around to have you show him what you were working on, it means he was interested in what you were doing. If he was angry with you, he'd have just rebuked you and walked off. People don't waste time with people they think are useless.
I once worked in a place where our group was hated, and we had to deal with so many people falsely reporting on us to the point where a director came and spied on us himself. I saw him out of the corner of my eye, smiled and said "Hi Frank! How are you?" and treated it as a visit, not a spying mission.
@IDrinkandIKnowThings my CEO came on my behind as I was watching youtube video about Regex and asked if it is related to work, I said yea. so he said show me and how it is related.
@Nofel yes, but changing how you choose to perceive things will change your emotions. You're in a feedback loop now. You experienced the negative, so you're looking for it. Since you're looking for it, you see it, since you see it, you experience it.
Look for the good, and you will see it, if you see it, you will experience it, and you will look for it again.
@RichardU I have told myself I will master JS this year but my mind is all over, designing, color theory etc. It sucks but I keep telling one thing at a time.
@IDrinkandIKnowThings the problem with "diversity" programs is that it puts the black daughter of a millionaire ahead of a white Appalachian male living in a run down shack.
Who is the disadvantaged one there?
@IDrinkandIKnowThings I could leverage my disabilities, but I'd rather be seen as an excellent programmer rather than a diversity hire.
We can not tell you what you did wrong (that sounds odd to me too), but your HR person has given you the hook you need by claiming that the employee handbook forbids it. This means you can (politely) ask the HR person to point out the relevant policy, so you can review it and make sure you under...
@RichardU well, only if there aren't at least other 2,3 candidates I would vote for I would run
Background
I'm developing a web-application for an active shooter defense training company. They go to organizations all around the country and teach them how to be best prepared for a horrible unexpected event. They want to take their training program online to reach more people.
Problem
I have...
thanks @MonicaCellio :) I will consider it, although I am quite burdened at work right now and finishing to cope and adapt to some changes in my life... but surely I will give it a thought
and I don't want to run if I feel I will not be able to fully commit to the role
