Today I couldn't get a taxi, had a dumb driver who didn't know how to get to LGA, got stuck in traffic entering LGA, waited 16 minutes in the PreCheck line, and am on a plane with a nicked fan blade.

What a fantastic morning.

Yeah precheck was insane this morning.. Went through faster in priority!

Scheduled time of departure: 6:45
First delay: 7:15
Second delay: 7:30
😑

I considered using priority lane, but it was about 3/4 the length of Precheck and didn't appear to be moving at all. Precheck was slow but consistent, at least.

Acc1's eye mask precluded any possibility of a head nod, much less "kithing"

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hi!

Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
