tgif am i right fellas
>tfw did basically nothing all weekI was never really sure if 'do nothing' jobs were an actual thing before but I've been assigned to one
>kept hearing my computer ping all night and all this morningoh my fucking god, WHAT? I'm still playing some fucking nioh leave me alone.
>>107813436same. i could've done some shit but im too burnt out so I just pulled the "yeah I don't know. don't think it can be done ploy"
>>107813436I also did nothing all week but that's because we're blocked waiting for a software update from another teamI've been spending it just binging 3blue1brown and now I'm wondering if you can vibecode an educational math video using the tool suite he uses to make his videos. I've been kind of wanting to make a version of "Crafting Interpreters" but instead using Karpathy's llama2.c repo as a guide, to help you learn about transformers models and how to implement LLM inference from scratch so maybe I'll do that if I have another free week
meetings over, I'm off to buy some cheese for a raclette
cheese purchased, mushroom and smokedwe're (I am) eating good tonight
>>107812986tsgf am i right fellas?
I didn't even realize it's friday I did pretty much nothing and I don't care.
Happy Friday nerds. It's my last day at work today, soon I will have freedom.Only for two days though. Monday I'm starting the new job. Getting +25% salary and also working with Rust.
>>107814775A new job ? In this economy ? Impossible !Congrats anon
My boss doesn't do a good job at saying no to his boss and it's just a bunch of retardation on the way down. How do I cope?
My company has a culture of just asking for help and looping you in without any context. Is there a way to fight this or do I just take it in the ass?
>friday, end of week 1 of 2026>I am still on tasks that were from 2025owari da...
I have an employee that I think is burning out. Ever since layoffs happened it seems like he's just out of it. >Used to be really innovative and go above and beyond. If I asked him to do a task, he'd document everything without asking and even come up with solutions and workarounds without intervention.>We used to have a lot of small talk but now he seems to want to skip to work talk all the time. I'll just get a lot of empty stares, "Yeah, sounds good." seems like a lot of fake enthusiasm or repeat phrases. >His work seems to be still alright but he doesn't take as much initiative anymore. If I ask him to research something, he'll throw me something but there's no more solutions or workarounds and it's just "I have no idea." Even when I present my take and says "Can you try this?", He'll just be like "Sure." and then not do anything with it and say "Sorry, I haven't gotten to it yet." >He's been a little too direct when replying to questions.>Told him that we're working on his pay and title raise and he went back to stock phrases and just sounded like "Thanks." "Appreciate it." "Sounds good.">Anytime I ask him about his workload or projects, or aspirations or anything. He'll just be like "I haven't thought about it.", "It's okay.", "Nope, no issues here." What should I do? He already took his vacation but when he came back, he looks/sounds even worse. He's being a real mood killer around the office.
Performance review time. Tempted to just copy paste FUCK JEETS 1000 times, including the strength and weaknesses area
>>107815307you get this from reddit?
>>107815374Nope. Asking for actual advice here.
>>107815307Look mom, I posted it again
>>107815389I'm just asking for advice here. Can you not bring your schizo nonsense into this?
>>107815307have you tried not replacing all of his co workers with indians
>friend at my company switched companies>same role / seniority>is claiming they're paying him $180k for a base level sys admin job and gave him 40k shares with just 2 years xp>check their job listings>senior full stack engineer and principal SRE are both making like 170k, less than him supposedly>only people at the company making as much as he claims based on past job listings are execs/senior managementRight bro.what causes someone to lie in such an easily disprovable way?
>someone creates an incident ticket for a test failure for a nightly run>i'm on call, it gets assigned to me by the incident supervisor>I ask why is this an incident?>"ehh just look into it, it's easier to track">I look into it, transfer it to appropriate team after triage>incident manager messages me asking why I transferred it, let's not waste on-call time with these internal test failure ticketsbitch you assigned it to me
>Someone internally who wants to transfer to the team I'm the senior on sets up a call to chat with me about what we do>Happy to oblige and show them the ropes>They don't show up to the scheduled timeWelp, you exhausted my goodwill already.Good luck to you.
>>107814775Congrats on transitioning!
>>107815564>what causes someone to lie in such an easily disprovable way?Some people just lie for the sake of lying.
My Japanese coworker is so unbelievably polite and nice.
>>107815794My company has a small branch in Japan. I have a guy and an older woman on my team that I only speak to directly once a week or so because of the time difference. They are both unbelievably nice, but technically fucking awful.They do, however, follow instructions perfectly, so I haven't complained. I can verify the claim that software engineers in Japan are notoriously shit.
>>107815794I want cute Japanese coworkers.
>>107815834Wish granted, but they're all japanese men.>monkey paw curls a finger
>>107816014Anime taught me that Japanese salarymen can spontaneously turn into cute girls.
>work for consulting firm because I am stupid>after consulting gig ends go to the bench>for those unaware "the bench" is where you are kept in retainer until a new gig appears>it's consulting, you do not have a real job>you are the white collar equivalent of a mexican loitering outside a home depot>it's not uncommon for a gig to never appear and you get laid off in a month automatically>turnover is high not because people quit but because they hire 10k people when maybe 1000 roles exist>most of these hires are indians>weekly meeting to "discuss opportunities">in reality this is just a white woman going around the table and asking what everyone's doing>completely meaningless prattling advice like "Just upscale" and "Try for random cert (that we won't pay for)">few white employees humor her with corpospeak (they are never offered anything)>meanwhile the meeting chat is indians who dont turn on mic nor camera>if called on they wont even speak to the vile cunt>offering jeet will post a position in chat>other jeet will go "gib me dis pls sirb" and the offering jeet will immediately go "position closed heem hired">that's it. this is how jobs are actually doled out>if you dont have an indian name and go "Can I apply?" you are ignored>all while the white woman pretends not to notice this virtual wet market happening right under her nose and she just keeps talking
>>107815833most programming languages were created by European language speakers thus require Indo-European language skills, that's why Indians have an easier time learning English and programming despite being Indians and Japs can't despite being higher IQ
>>107815564Why would necessarily be a lie? Company could be trying to reduce salaries, ll9king for someone cheaper or whatever
>>107816064Consulting is something you're supposed to do as your first job if you're too mediocre for any other position.
what are we doing on this friday night twgbros?for me it's drinking
>>107816358Playing Arc Raiders. Shitposting. Lewding the U149s. Watching Youtube videos.
>>107816358Watching a movie, playing Stellaris and jacking off.

I should do it now, while my head is still clear and im still on company time
>Team is now under an indian manager that is clearly trying to get that sweet sweet promotion.>They'll achieve this by "improving" things like replacing application the team owns with some third party SaaS.>Even though it is not what anyone that uses the application actually wants, far less customizable for their needs, and all around worse.>It's happening anyways and no one knows what will happen to the team afterwards.>Most likely either people getting laid off, moved around or just straight up fired.I'm betting whoever will be replacing my team will be some poor sap that is having to work inside one of India's most cramped population centers.
>>107812740my boss and co-worker are so incompetent it's unreal. hosing customers with 'level 1 help desk' type replies and they've both been around for years.>issue is easily reproducible>customer tickets are 1 line easily understandable>ive already sent multiple screen shots confirm the issueboss and co-worker are replying to users like they are help desk new hires and dont know what to do.this problem is so basic it's unreal. something broke on our backend during a code change. im getting a new job soon. ive been working with these clowns too long.
>>107816146basically yes, thisor if you're super high end and making $100k+ yr and head hunted cuz ur uber elite mr code
i do not have a corkscrew.i have tried to screw an actual screw into the cork and to pull on the screw, but it is impossibly hard. the cork wouldn't budge.i have also discovered that poking a hole into the cork is not sufficient, a single drop of wine might come out but that's it.i gave up and thus ends the night of drinking.
>>107816950>super high end>make $100k+LMAO

employedcels I need some advice>have 4 yoe in tech>got laid off last year>haven't been able to find a new job, currently working some part time wagie shit to get by>don't want to work at startups anymore, I fucking hate them so much>want to work for a midsize / fagman tier company (I've been practicing my stack a lot so I can meet the competency requirements)I applied to a few fagman positions last year and got 2 interviews but bombed the OAs (they asked me leetcode hards), should I say on my resume that I've been "freelancing" for the last year to increase my chances of getting interviews? I imagine it would help with midsize companies but with shit like google or facebook I'm sure they already have my past resume on file and would call out my bullshit or blacklist me for "lying"
>>107817780You are in the wrong general.
>>107817780>employment>2026If you are not still employed you wont be in the future. Probably ever.
>>107815714Thanks. The surgery included a complimentary lobotomy. I'm feeling quite well.>>107815050Somehow two other coworkers are leaving at the same time. I thought December/January was the slow hiring season, yet we've got a coincidence like this.I guess it means there are at least some jobs locally.Hopefully the greater economy is similarly improving.

>>107817041>bought a corked bottle of wine>doesnt own a corkscrewbruh i got at least 3 and by 'at least' i mean 3 dedicated corkscrews and i have a few pocket knives with corkscrews built inHow did you fuck up this badly when you could have just got a bottle of wine with a twist capjust get a fucking drill, slap the a fat bit into it and drill down. But dont do this if you dont have a filter. Maybe you dont even have a wire mesh filter for the kitchen but even a coffee filter is better than nothing.>inb4 you dont have a drillif that cork isnt coming out, the only direction it can go is in so just place a dowel rod ontop of the cork and just keep smacking with a hammer>inb4 you dont own a dowel rod or a hammeri honestly wouldnt know what to tell you at this point other than slowly breaking the cork apart with a knife
>>107817780>I've been practicing my stack a lotYou're "personal projects" section on your resume should take up at least half a page, size 12 font, times new roman, single spaced
>>107818859How many generations do you think it will last?
>>107818914eww, I hope you mean courier new size 10
>>107815307Literally me until >Told him that we're working on his pay and title raise
>>107818932Personally I used size 12 times new roman but if you really want to be special and not look like a tryhard keyboard warrior, then go with Helvetica
Today I went back to my old cafeteria (#9) and had a big ol' fried fish sandwich and it was pretty good!

>>107817041>SWEs insist they're the smartest people on the planet and building the world from whole cloth but cannot open a fucking wine bottle
>>107818962I don't get it. Are you the employee or manager?
>not trying to freak you out, but prepare yourself for Monday, got even more stuff to drop on the teamMan FUCK off, seriously. I've got 6 plates in the air I'm constantly juggling already, while also dealing with multiple crises caused by other people. I finally make it through the week and you drop "hey its only going to get worse" as I sign off?
