Yeah, it's a bad sign when I'm jumping for joy that they actually paid me what they promised to pay me.

You really only need to hit about 90 fps, anything after that is just gravy.

I only come to this forum to whine about my life and get free porn.

Finding a 120k a year job in RI is pretty tough, but yes, I did that math and came to the same conclusion.

Yes. To decipher that nonsense, they paid me as 36 hours of PTO for all the days I didn't have to work but worked anyway, in addition to the hours I worked, to equal double time or double time and a half for those days. Then 8 hours for the Monday that everyone else in the company got off...

Oh fuck, you rickshawed me just as I finally had good news. Now it's time to give it all to my mom.

Well, I was told negotiating wasn't even an option.

I never said HR made the offer. Team lead of another team made the offer. HR has nothing to do with it. I only went to HR to go over the paperwork I signed when I took the job to see if any of that paperwork stated I couldn't be released from my position for 2 years.

I already got offered a job as a Microsoft solutions architect in another arm of the company, but my boss won't release me from my position, stating that there is a "two year commitment" to the second and third shift teams when hired, followed by a back-fill period of 4-8 months while they...

Cuter than you at least.

That girl has a ton of great videos.

Yes, but can you get me a call center job where I fix the servers that run other call centers?!? This job is the perfect meta-hell.

Yes, exactly. I'd be fine with them paying me double-time and a half on the actual day and not the bullshit observed day, because I had to work 16 hours on the actual Christmas day and only 8 on the observed day.

They don't train anyone here. Everyone who works during the day has effectively one job. On higher tier teams, they support one specific product. The few people who work nights have to do every job, and also IT disaster recovery and logistics stuff that just doesn't come up normally, along...

The thing its, for 99.9% of the company, it's not a 24 hour operation. Only a handful of people in the company are even capable of fulfilling the job roles for 24 hour operation. Because of this, people from my team had to work both on the actual holiday, and on the observed holiday, because...

Can't claim discrimination if they treat EVERYONE like shit. And they do. Especially the < two dozen people who work second and third shift combined. Since 99.9% of the 1400 company goes home at 5pm, absolutely none of the written policies (which aren't consistent to begin with) and especially...

Spot on. This place is a lot like HCL except we speak English and actually fix things, have field logistics, etc. And we're growing in the direction of becoming even more like a generic IT managed services provider like HCL.

"Mist's Christmas Whines" would be a lot simpler.

lol now payroll is saying I don't get double-time and a half for working 16 hours on Christmas because the company observes Christmas on the Monday. They're saying its straight time, along with the 12 hours I worked on Christmas Eve, of which at least 4 of which was promised to me as...

Jet A-wing fuel can't melt steel Star Destroyer beams.

This game is great if you can one-hand a controller and mouse at the same time. I borrowed a PS3 Move Navigation controller to try that, but I'm having a hell of a time getting it to register. WTB Oculus controllers.

Are you Jason Bourne?

Given everything we know, I'm sure some of that total is equity from Amazon but there's definitely a shitload of people who own super expensive ships, there's whole subreddits for buying and selling them.

This is also the conclusion I've come to.

Often, actually. In fact, we had someone on my shift threaten to murder 3 other members of the team and nothing was done about it. This person has documented substance abuse problems and a criminal history as well. But I mentioned being sad and not having a long term plan after my mother...

merged.

I get paid 2-3 dollars less an hour than new-hires that know nothing and do nothing, while I handle all the biggest clusterfucks for all the biggest customers all night and all weekend long. Tier 2 work for tier 0 pay, working shifts that no one on any tier 2 team will work, while still doing...

My mom keeps bitching at me for working 70 hours a week, letting my bosses put me on the schedule whatever crazy hours they want, and not demanding a raise, while in the very same breath, asking me for four thousand dollars a month to pay her bills, and when I try to explain how that is...

The 2417 DG and the 2716DG are two different monitors.

Amazon bought basically all of Crytek's code when they went in the shitter, to use for un-named gaming projects projects. CiG hired most of Crytek's ex-programmers. Star Citizen has been using Amazon Payments for tens of millions dollars' worth of transactions. To think the two haven't been...

More overtime and still no raise.

He loves the jews.

Don't ban me, I don't have any other friends. :/

My family? I'm pretty sure my mom is spending my money for Christmas.

This game sure is good. A+ would shoot spaceships again.

You should make sure to put that on your application for law school.

So... The Matrix with lightsabers? Yes? Yes!

I made 68.8k this year at my 40k a year job. I literally don't know if that's great or sad.

That's Pam. What the fuck.

I'm am disappoint. This thread should be so much worse.
