I work for a company that may or may not have had our leader at the White House the same day layoffs were happening touting how much they donated to the child fund.

Our old CTO at my higher ed job was bros with Michael Dell… we were one of the first all dell computer labs etc, Michael visited a few times.

When I moved them all to VDI, I got a “talking to” by certain people for not using Wyse and “reminding” how much of a partner we /were/ with Dell and bla bla bla. They had their chance with Ardence hahah

Update on this

Had initial interview, along with assessment. Scored well on both.

Used AI as an advisor to complete the IQ tests, because the policy said nada about it, and you'd be retarded not to do it.

Soon there is an interview with CEO. I expect it to be a formality.

I drink, smoke and gamble like a degen, because I love those things. My sleeping patern consists of falling asleep when exhausted.

Sometimes I think about the people that live as expected, yet failing to stabilize. Wtf are they doing in their free time?

Even funnier are the college students that get burn-outs.

Can't do shit with the lot.

ps. had interview, starting end of augustust

I am leaving for 2 weeks for an international cruise and I'm getting no wifi. What makes this even more special is people can't seem to function if I'm not there. So I foresee two things happening, either they figure out how to function and I come back feeling relieved or everything blows up. I don't even care what one happens

Have fun. Hope you don't come back fired, though.

Enjoy your cruise! Don't even bring your work phone or laptop with you. You are on vacation. Full stop.

Got my first network admin job interview scheduled for next week. Would be like double my current pay and jumping free of "help desk" (My current role is "IT Generalist", so help desk for companies too poor to have a multi-member help desk with tiers), but it is an on-site job 4 hours west of here in a 5000 person town in the middle of Nebraska. The requirements are pretty relaxed because they know getting someone to move out there is hard. Feels like it would be a good career advancement choice but it also feels like I'd probably go crazy out there. So we'll see how the interview goes.

Sounds like a good deal. Even if you don't love it you are making money and put on your resume for your next job. I work in a totally different world, but I've worked a few jobs that were basically resume builders.
