Tuesdays and Thursdays are the traditional days.

I and 13 other men (all men) got a Monday morning 1-on-1 meeting notice pop up on the Friday afternoon before Fathers Day, so the (female) President could fire us all and install her lady friends. Nice touch, Celine.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Anyone have any experience with the executive membership for Costco and the Costco CC? Seems like it would be automatically 2% back for the membership perks plus an additional 2% with the CC and 4% on gas. If we're spending around $600 a year on gas and $2800 on purchases ($233 a month), that is around $148 in cash back. Minus the $120 membership fee is just $28. Which typing this post has made me realize probably not the smartest option with our current spend.
