Believe it or not, for all the talk of digital... online video subscriptions and downloads JUST overtook DVD sales. People still exist that rent dvds from netflix?

Actually the joke is all on you. netflix's streaming offering is 85% half baked garbage you will never feel like watching; and they are doubling down on exclusive content that they force into production despite poor reception. The DVD option gives you EXACTLY what you are looking for, AND you can simply rip it to a drive/your computer to keep. Of course, you'd then also realize that all media is actually free if you just torrent it and you do not need Netflix to be your shitty middleman at all anymore.

I actually totally agree with ^. I can scroll through Netflix for hours without finding a single decent thing to watch. There's so much crap on it and so very very little quality.

Depending on what you want to watch, you can only get it from Netflix through the mail.

My brother (a Millennial) just got rid of his Netflix DVD subscription last month. 😳

@publicis, yup, and get used to it. Your subscription rate will climb and your quality will continue to dip. Their original shows are mediocre, their licensed content gets worse and worse. Download or purchase what you want, establish your own library. Netflix is an OK option but at this point, it doesn't even hold a candle to the old days of going to the video store.

Never been in an SE or consulting or B2B sales role before but have a referral at Salesforce and have been in some informal conversations. I’m starting to freak out a bit now that maybe I can’t do it. I have a tech background so can handle that part, but perhaps strategy may be difficult. Anyone make the transition to an SE role that have some advice?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
