Where are you guys going for your gigs?

Folks - what brands (other than Ball - I already own some pieces) do you recommend if I want long lasting value and tritium gas tubes that glow so brightly thought the night?

Random question since I learned about this watch recently: does anybody in the bowl have the salmon dial Seiko Sarb037? And if so, how/where did you get it?

Thoughts on AdEx ?

My breakfast consisted of one giant spoonful of Nutella.

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Is the BSA Business intelligence, a technical role?

Need help, I have relevant experience and good reputation among team. I want promotion in this cycle to manager level but the thing is the seniors I have, managers and senior managers are with PwC SDC for long time, so they are not ready to promote me with 4.5 years of experience. Can you please guide me on how can make it work?

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Is there any website to get a template for decent/basic contracts (i.e. leases, purchase agreements, partnership agreements)? I want a base to start, without having to sign up for a free trial and then get hit with a bill when I forget to cancel...

My marketing people - does anyone else's company have a dedicated "Marketing Response Team" (MRT Team)? Or something similar? Might be called something else at other companies and I just have no clue.

New to gds. is today salary day? Or tomorrow?

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

How do I get promoted?

Hot takes on the internet- especially in anonymous apps filled with overpaid, out of touch, educated fools - is the best way to form your opinions on the issues of the day.

Set very low expectations for raises and bonuses this year. START NOW. No firm can beat what the market is paying for talent, so under promise with low expectations. That way people will feel grateful when they get a 2% COLA in a few months.

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

Make every effort to record the fireworks display tonight.

You’re sure to watch that video regularly. Unlike the last 7 years of fireworks displays you watched live through your smartphone screen.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.

Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

Should I sell my Tesla stock and go all in on Rivian?

Join the Politics Bowl for mature and well reasoned discussions about the issues of the day.

Anyone here memorize their credit card number? What mnemonics do you use to remember it?

Never tell your wife to calm down. That won’t go well for you.

Instead, turn it into a question like “does someone need a time out?” Much less confrontational that way.

What is the best answer to “Do I look fat in this?”

What’s the best way to eat a watermelon?

Put all your money in crypto. It’s done going down.

what should I wear back to office?

Conduct annual performance reviews with your kids and let them know their status in the family is at stake. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to seeing an 8 year old kid on a PIP turn it around and earn an invitation to come back next year.

Post your hatred here. Feel free to include your name level and role and the names of those whom you hate the most at your firm. Pls include why. Incriminating evidence is welcome. This is a safe space and there is literally zero chance your boss or any of your coworkers will find out. Not that many ppl may attention to what is said here.

Family vacations are a must. The house is so much quieter when my wife takes the kids out of the country.
