2/2 on days falling asleep at his own criminal trial. Can he pull off a perfect record?

Didn't they only give Washington and Oregon partial shares of revenue. And don't we have a huge ass buyout? How does that make sense?

D2 also mentioned that his new company is the type to acquire other companies. Which seems true because they have all of these random ass locations on their website. So, another funny part of the call was him mentioning the possibility of the new company acquiring the old company. He said, "and if that happens, it's like, 'COO, you're gone. CFO, gone. Don't need you any more.'" I was thinking to myself, "oh, you've been thinking about this for a while." 100% chance that he suggests this idea to the new company.

Yep, one job currently. I really want three. A big positive about D2's new company is that they use the same software as the old company. So, the learning curve would be minimal.

Holy crap. D2 just called me out of the blue and told me that his new company might have a remote opening for me. Lmao
He's still bffs with D1, who still does contract work for our former employer. So, he'd heard I was laid off.
I didn't gain any additional insight about what happened when he was fired. Still don't know what to believe about any of it. I did enjoy that he started out by saying, "I wish those people the best and don't have any ill will toward any of them," and then finished with a 15 minute rant about what awful people they are and that the owner needs to get some white paint to cover up the scripture on his office walls because he's rough ridin' evil.

Drew doesn't want to leave Baylor and is actually convincing the Kentucky brass to hire his buddy Tang.

One month of pay and health insurance. Seems shitty to me, but I don't know what the norm is.

« on: April 05, 2024, 03:20:07 PM »Has to be a feeling like nothing else. Like, normally this would be soul crushing and you would be trying to figure out how to pay bills and feed the family, but Chum is like, thanks for the info, can we end this call early, I have like 3 more Zoom meetings today with people at my other jobs.
It reminded me of the last time this happened and I could tell that the other person felt WAY worse about it than I did.
For me, the downside is mostly just that it's annoying to find another job. Also, I've been attempting to work two jobs for three years, but because of two layoffs, only have dual income for two years to show for it. Leaving money on the table!

I got laid off from my original job on Wednesday. (The place with D2.) I kinda saw it coming. They were a little too conspicuous about having me train a junior person on what I was doing. When they broke the news to me, I immediately thought of all of the things that the junior person wouldn't be able to do or even figure out how to do on his own and how much of a bind they would truly be in on certain things.
Today, TWO DAYS after my last day, I get a text from them asking me if I can call the junior person to tell him how to do something. ARE YOU rough ridin' KIDDING ME!?!? I knew I didn't want to help (and, really, it would have taken a lot more than a phone call). So, I signed and downloaded the severance agreement and then replied that if they decide they need help with the sorts of solutions that I'd been delivering, I might be open to working on a contract basis. Stay tuned for that, I guess.
Fortunately for me, I've been dual jobbing again for the past six months. Man, let me tell you something. The security of NGAF if you lose a job is like nothing else.

Was the proposal of a five day workweek also unserious? Or are you thankful for the socialists who passed that law?
