reminds me of a manager sending me “y/t?” which apparently meant “you there?”

Had directors ping me “yt?” and with context clues I had to figure out it was “you there?”

But for your point, I also have people write “tks” / “thx” and then their names to sign off on instant messages smh

Suburban dictionary here.
Tks = team kills = tickets
“When you see a noob committed 8 tks, you gotta send tks to the game operations to perm ban this idiot.”

You got it.

I believe it's the employees personal matter and nothing to relate on job prospects (this is what i got as a reply from my previous employer)

Do I need to inform about my matrimonial disputes or should I keep quiet? How does background verification team consider this.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Do managers tend to make a scene while you put your papers?

My company is actually pretty damn great to work for. So many love it, but our pay is low compared to the rest of the financial sector, and so when people with great experience come knocking, HR denies them because the ask is outside the price range. So mangy managers are pushing back but damn. Why shoot yourself in the foot like that?
