  • I haven't known any shut ins that would qualify as having mental heath issues. Most of the people I know who never leave their house just don't want to have a job. They don't have any problems leaving the house or dealing with people they just don't want to work or support themselves. Of course instances where they physically can't leave their house because of mental health issues and trauma are different, but again that's never been my experience when dealing with people like that and I've known a lot of people who would be called "shut ins".

  • Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I'd let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I'd recommend that instead.

  • I worked hell desk for an MSP for a couple years. I imagine all MSPs are pretty similar. They run with too few employees and half ass everything. I ended up doing a lot of high level stuff most days because I was the only one in the office. The other guys would create problems to be able to go onsite and focus on one job and the company almost encouraged that behavior because onsite visits make money. I was left to do basically everything. I had a lot of freedom and someone less competent could have done some serious damage in my position. They gave us all domain admin privileges and shared passwords for everything.

    It was very eye opening, but when I transferred to internal IT for a non profit I was blown away at the difference. People take time to do things correctly and everything is so organized. Our AD environment is partitioned to perfection. I love it. I don't have nearly as much power as I used to, but I love that our team does things the right way. All the companies trying to cut costs by using MSPs are going to learn a harsh lesson one day.

  • I've never bought from Canadian Tire before so I can't completely speak to that. I will say my IKEA bed is very obviously made of plyboard. It's fairly sturdy, but cost almost $300 used. The point is we used to build things to last with strong materials, but we can't now due to the fact that resources have dwindled faster than we can replenish them.

  • Have you bought a desk or dresser recently? The cheap ones used to be made of plyboard, now it's 90 percent plastic and the same price. Resources aren't as plentiful as they used to be and minimalism is the result of that.

  • People never shut up at the office. I've seen multiple people do absolutely nothing but converse and distract others from working. I get plenty of social interaction from my relationship, friends, and family. I don't need it from work too.

  • He's going to pretend he's not a nazi to try to save his shitty businesses because the backlash to the reveal was worse than they expected. Too bad republicans don't really care about EVs and democrats aren't buying that he's changed.

    Why the fuck do republicans always think somehow they're the majority and everyone agrees with them? I don't understand how the richest person in the world and the most powerful person in the world can't see that most of the world hates them. Even most republicans hate them, but they're just relieved to have any republican in power.

  • It does sound like they're edging you out. I'd start applying elsewhere right away. There's a lot of remote opportunities for software support. They are extremely competitive, but you have more experience than I do and I'm in the same field. I just recently landed a job as a software specialist in the public sector and it's insane how different the environment is vs a for-profit company. By the end of my job search I was averaging 10 applications a day and hitting multiple interviews a week. It was a lot of work finding a new job, but it's worth it in the end.

    I've never stayed at a job longer than 3 years so I don't know what it's like to give 10 years of effort to a company, but I agree with that sentiment. You should always look out for yourself first and the good news is you'll probably end up making more money than you ever could at your current job by going elsewhere.

  • I'm sorry, that sucks. Still, it's better to enjoy the weekend and not stress about things outside of your control. What do you do for a living? Is it something that you can pick up another job somewhere else fairly easily doing the same thing or something more specialized? If they want you out I'd just start looking for a better opportunity elsewhere.
