Before i gained full time employment in my chosen industry i generally lived check to check, but the added sense of relevance and responsibility that comes with my work - not to mention the relative lack of mental downtime to fill with hobby chasing - instantly converted my spending habits.
It was like I'd been waiting for a chance to be adult lol
(The day after i got that job i suddenly thought it was the most regular thing in the world to sell 80% of my slowly collected, second hand gaming platforms)

I replaced the castors on my computer chair yesterday with those rollerblade style wheels. Now I am zipping across the office like a madman. I hope these don't collect dog hair as badly as the original set.

Work is getting exciting. A large, 8-figure project is coming down the pipeline next year. I’ve asked to be assigned but this type typically goes to global HQ. I’ve got some high level people going to bat for me to get it.
Fingers crossed because this would be a direct shot at getting a fat promotion if the project goes well. I know well the people that would be involved and I have no doubt that the project would be successful.

That’s awesome news, pal, and further proof that hard work gets you places. The benefits of working hard greatly outweigh the cons. All those YouTubers and Twitch streamers don’t know how easy they have it. Again, best of luck to you, pal, you deserve this.

Ours pay out in February. Annual bonuses, not Christmas bonuses. We don't get those. Can't complain though, 5-10% since I'm high performing.

Here's some ideas:
1: What spec you building?
2: Will you go Win10 or 11?
3: A/S/L?
See, I’m showing my age. I didn’t even realise that was a computer tower. When I was younger, computers looked like this:
That’s an old photo of me at work.

Project at work will need nursing some during the night, so sitting at my desk at home, watching some new He-Man cartoon while I "work".

How to know if your employees will get swept up in The Great Resignation
The US has seen millions of workers quit their jobs over the past several months, and it's not only about better pay, but being valued at work.
www.businessinsider.com
We already lost four employees to other work from home jobs so that they could move away. One even took less pay. Anyone here change employers or just fucking quit knowing that they could easily find a tech job now, almost anywhere, because we're almost all working from home now?
EDIT: sorry, forgot it was for subscribers. Here's their twitter thread at least

We've had a ton of departures. The first announcement was a full return to office with 1-2 WFH days per week. People were still leaving, saying other employers were offering more flexibility. So now it's up to each department to decide how much they can WFH. People are still leaving. My dept is one of the few that hasn't lost anyone during COVID. I am fairly certain there's only 1 or 2 other depts that can say the same.

The hilarious thing to me is that our CEO was all about returning to the office. MF'er put in his notice because of work-life-balance. This dude got to decide everyone's work-life-balance flexibility and he still wants to leave.

Died in a good way? I would love to be WFH 100% when I'm not traveling for work. They want me back in office though.
