Cause of death - Waiting for the response from HR
Booz Allen Hamilton rescinded my offer because my current firm will not waive the non-compete clause in our employee agreement. It was allegedly a capability hire, and not tied to a particular project.
I work one level above entry level, and really shouldn’t even have such a restrictive non-compete.
I’ve already resigned, and would prefer to be unemployed rather than continue working here.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.
https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491
My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
AMA.
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?
Has anyone bought an X-Chair office chair?

East wing was constructed by Jefferson. Rose garden was added by Kennedy. The north patio was added by Jackson.
All of those were severely criticized by the Congress at that time. So of a million things to be outraged about including trade, foreign policy , domestic chaos, culling of social programs …this would be absolute last on my list. Unless the tax dollars were funding it. It’s an office space

You guys will literally lap up anything fox news and similar feed you. Of course you want to ignore that all of that, and I mean all of it, was approved by Congress prior to Obama even taking office. But hey, facts don't matter. Only the faux rage you fall for every. single. time.

The East Wing is another distraction from what really matters.

“Nothing screams classy” more than a stained blue dress in the White House compliments of Clinton or the baggies of hunters coke scattered all over the west wing
So just whataboutism then?
Paid for by trump cronies. Paid back in favors, contracts and crypto/AI mushugana.
Bingo, this
did you pay to dry clean Monica’s dress?
Sadly yes, but understandable. Instead of diversifying, they’re doubling down.
Companies who hire the most qualified candidates will thrive.
No.
No 🥱

Yea, it's so much more classy to set up tents on the lawn and bring in portapotties for visiting dignitaries, than to have a donated ballroom that will get used way after this administration is gone.
Only reason it hasn't already been built is no one could figure out how to take it from thought to completion.

Because nothing screams ‘classy’ more than gold plating anything and everything SC1. There’s a fair argument to be made about the need to upgrade the facilities at the White House (even though it’s a suitably modest tribute to American heritage and history). A 90k sq foot Trump adorned ballroom that will dwarf the original 55k White House is definitely not the answer, though. Nor is just tearing down the East Wing with no consultation acceptable either. The government should not operate with a different set of laws and rules than the rest of us.
