I've been told my polish sounds "old". I know only a little bit, learned from grandparents and great grandparents. However they were speaking in the early 1900s when they left Poland for the US, that's the Polish I grew up hearing.

I grew up in the Midwest where there were quite a few 2nd, 3rd, + generation Polish Americans. Now I live on the East Coast where there are more people who immigrated from Poland in the last ~20 years in addition to the generational families and they sound quite a bit different from what I grew up with.

What you're missing is full brainwashing from the patriarchy, from the bootlicking capitalists.

Any partner who can but doesn't support their partner and newborn is an ass.

Any partner who can but doesn't take advantage of the leave benefit they earned is giving free money to their employer overlords like an absolute cuck.

Be revolutionary, put your family over your employer.

I've wanted to learn Dvorak for years but the article hit on it: I'm not and never will be native to it since I already know QWERTY, so won't ever net the sweetest efficiency gains.

Top bunk. My folks invited someone to stay with us when I was in high school and they slept four feet above me.

Can't say I'd be so generous as to invite a stranger into my house like that as an adult. Maybe. I would certainly help with other sorts of disaster relief but it's tough for me to envision a situation in which I would open my home.

Set your default view to the communities you subscribe to. Don't subscribe to communities that overlap with politics or reddit.

Not needed for a company to update rules agnostic of any alleged bad actor. Honey coul end up completely innocent and it would still be a positive update by Google.

What did it take them, 5 months from when the general public knew and who knows how long since insiders were aware? What a laughably long response time.

Could I get a mountain house without a hot tub? I don't want to have to maintain one of those petri dishes.

Initially makes me wonder how the employer could be so dumb as to give one employee so much access. But then I remember a former employer of mine did the same and worse.

Colleague was known for writing his comments in such a way that only he could read them, including mixing in German (US based company doing all business in English). He was also the admin of our CAD system and would use it as leverage to get his way on things, including not giving even default user access to engineers he didn't like. We migrated systems and everyone was thinking, "this is it, the chance to root this guy out of the admin position" and... they gave him admin access again. Not even our IT department had the access he had. I left before the guy retired / was fired, this post is making me wonder if he left peacefully or left bricking the CAD system out.

Strange drunk man hip-checked his way into my locked apartment. He was on the wrong floor, trying to visit his buddy one above me.

Full, over-the-top drama mode to the apartment managers and they installed a much more secure door and deadbolt. I'd already complained about their doors being basically just thick cardboard, so I wasn't going to pass the opportunity up.

Lol, you don't know how middle management works, do you. I have been "empowered to find ways to be more efficient" so unfortunately that means no budget for extra resources, use the AI tools that some Jr c-suite asshole pushed to justify his latest promotion.

I did choose to set filters on resumes loosely at the expense of having a larger pool for the video portion. I could have tightened the resume filters, but for this particular job, I decided verbal communication explaining how they used x tool mattered more than how well one copy/pasted keywords from the job posting into the resume. I would probably set filters differently for a different type of job.

I also don't think it's "cool" to have a down selected pool of 70. I think it's a sign the job market is fucked up and getting worse. The job itself is fine; it has one good benefit of paying for just about any advanced degree that can be stretched to sound "job relevant", but other than that it's mid.

no re takes

That's garbage. That's def an option someone selected, to not allow re-takes. Hopefully they just didn't understand the impact and course-correct if they use it again.

Knowing the workflow for mine was unlimited retakes made me feel a bit better, though I still didn't like the tool. So the person who chose to record from the phone with their camera shooting up their nose had every opportunity to rethink that choice. The person who opened and closed with a string of expletives chose to hit "submit'.
