  • That entire company was like that. Any minor issue, misunderstanding on their end only, or just their own wild incompetence on display always had both companies entire chain of commands on the email list.

    I have a long list of complants about this publicly traded company’s dangerous incompetencies.


  • My most satisfying email was when some project manager at the business partner company asked me why I wasn’t in a teams meeting to let their team test their software on our machine. This was an email basically everyone in both companies was on. My boss, his boss, that guy’s boss, all the way up the ceo, and her boss and her boss’ boss, etc.

    I replied all with screenshots and an email that basically read “hey, you kicked me out of this meeting now twice. I can’t be there if I’ve been removed”.

    I got an email back a minute later where she only replied to me with a sheepish “no i didn’t”













  • Theres a reason the dog post got so much traction on linkedin.

    Anyone out of the loop the dog pist says:

    “Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.”


  • Theres a few schools of thought when it comes to teaching math. Theres the camp that thinks that you should see 285 X 342 and figure out in your head its 97,470. Then theres the other group that goes, well we just need to teach them the concept and then the students apply it. Its people in the first camp that said you’d never have a calculator and just isn’t a realistic take on the world anymore. Very rarely do I have to sit down and remember what sin(30) is, but I can still do the trig work I’ve needed in my day job as a software developer.
