I swear these little monsters are so addictive. The only good thing that has come out of being laid off is the number of cafes I've been exploring. I just sit there for a few hours to apply to jobs or research companies, and buy the cheapest coffee there is to buy. I didn't have the time to explore what my neighborhood had to offer because work ate up all of it. Anyway, one of these cafes had a macchiato for $3.50. I've never tried a traditional macchiato before that.. the only one I've ever tried was Starbucks, which was obviously the bastardized version. I'm so wired and focused on these macchiatos, WISH I HAD A JOB to focus on lol.

This is making me feel so sad about my cup of instant coffee 😭. Looks delicious. I might have to start hauling my laptop to some local shops to give "real" coffee a try. The change of scenery might make this job search feel a little less miserable.

It sure will!

LOL there was a time in my life I used to drink one every morning on. my way to work from the local cafe down the street from home. It was run by an Italian lady, and it was one of those humble, cash-only establishments. I miss that place so much.. I live in a different neighbordhood now. Be careful not to get too addicted, though; it's happened to me.

Why does the normal macchiato have caramel sauce and syrup? Or is that supposed to be the starbucks one?

I’ve been on the pursuit of making decent coffee at home and struggling. Maybe some things are just best left to the pros. I passed by a bakery the other night, already closed, and this is the little bit of motivation I needed to go back and give it a try. Support the little local places!

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!
