Does anyone understand the end of the movie Saving Private Ryan? It’s on tv. It’s like… it’s worth it for this ragtag group of 20 guys to fight to the death for this bridge. Unless most of us die. Then we’re blowing up the bridge. What???Why didn’t they just go find their units?

That’s like the key point in the movie. Best line of that movie is when tom hanks tells Matt Damon “earn this”. Not sure I like the way you are talking about this. We can’t be friends. Ever.

That's a typical strategy back then. If you can't hold it for your side to use, then destroy it so it makes it harder for the other side to cross the river.

And they are defending the line. Doesn't matter if they are with their original unit.

I’m M64 and missed serving in the military but I know people and understand the mental character it takes to accomplish an important mission, regardless of the cost. I understand that it’s hard to relate to that kind of sacrifice - that doesn’t say anything bad about you. Sometimes there is nobody else to do something than if you do it. Matters so much more when the lives of people who live and die with you depend on you.

On a tiny scale, some of us will power through a really difficult physical task when others are ready to quit. It could be something non physical too. I can’t tell you the times I sacrificed or defended my children in the past. They, in turn, carry that example with them and their own lives and family.

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

I hate my job to the point where it is difficult to be productive, and I can barely get any work done (it’s like I have no energy). Am looking for a new role but who knows how long it will take for a final offer, and I don’t know if it would be right to quit my job and rest. I feel so burned out and trapped. What can I do right now to immediately improve my situation?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
