I've flown in both Japanese and American SH-60 helos and the experience was like going from a brand new Toyota Camry to a beat-to-poo poo mid 2000's Chevy Malibu. Flying in US, British, and Japanese helicopters' the Japanese military ones were so nice and drat near showroom quality while ours and the Brits looked like the interiors had come out of a salvage yard.

My boss gave us a project to do that was urgent. He laid out the requirements (IE: I had to pry the requirements from him verbally, email him back to him, and nag him to confirm them) only for him to freak out because he forgot things. Its not uncommon for him to gently caress up things like this because he doesn't read his email or do much of anything lately. He is getting pressured heavily by his boss and its reaching a breaking point. He called me after I had already left for the day upset that my team didn't complete the items they didn't know to complete. I came back, we had a heated discussion, with him and myself completed the tasks he failed to communicate. At this point I am convinced he is working on another business venture. He is only here about 4 hours on average anymore and only reads maybe 2 emails a day. He only works on what his boss comes in to tell him to do face to face. He relies on me totally to know what in the world is going on. The korean community is pretty tight knitt and I know he has been borrowing networking tools a lot lately. I assume he is invested or working a separate gig.

As individuals Americans actually tend to not be very racist. Our systems and institutions more than make up for this, but the people themselves are actually considered the least racist based on studies. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/05/america-racism-race-equality http://bigthink.com/Mind-Matters/why-americans-see-racism-where-the-french-see-no-problem https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-12-07/us-racism-vs-uk-racism-you-know-where-you-stand-american-racism-says-comedian https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/opinion/on-being-african-in-europe.html?mcubz=2 And so on. Racism is a real problem the world over, but it seems to be more significant in the US because we are the only people who actually take active steps to address it, or even talk about it.

This is gonna get weird. However, it's also worth noting that things we've come to find racist in the US are not considered racist in most other countries. This probably leads to us scoring as less racist than others, because the desire to not be racist, combined with finding more things racist, leads to less racism.

If you talk to most people on the streets they are not themselves particularly racist(everyone has something that can be held as racist ofc), but they very much support racist institutions, like the police, without realizing how much those institutions are designed to oppress minorities. They are willing to discuss it for the most part, tho, and can even sometimes be shown how they are supporting racism.

My bosses last day was today. No goodbye email, no lunch with coworkers, no socializing whatsoever. He's been on PTO since he announced his resignation. Came in, handed off some last minute knowledge, surrendered his laptop and security fobs, and was gone. Never had a coworker that I was close to leave in such a fashion, kind of weird.

Little bit of both. Management is pretty pissed he refused their juicy counter-offer and he's pretty pissed at them for making GBS threads all over any of his business input. I never gave him any grief though, he could have went to lunch with me :|

That is exactly how I like to leave. I leave gigs because I'm being laid off or because I can't handle being there anymore- probably because things have become lovely somehow. I'll keep in touch with the friends I want to keep in touch with and quickly forget about everyone else. Odds are we've already had a goodbye dinner on the side that was way more fun than awkward platitudes over sugary cake. It kinda sucks that he didn't say goodbye to you considering you were close, but I can't say I blame him for quietly G-ingTFO.

Stupid question but here goes - what sorts of job titles / search terms should I be looking for if I have a few years as an support / IT generalist person and I have a CCNA but no dedicated networking experience and want to start focusing on that? I'd think just searching for CCNA would work, but everything wants a bunch of experience and knowledge that I don't have. I know, I know, never don't apply, but for most of the things I'm seeing it's either working nights/weekends or would be a waste of time for me to apply (Network Architect type positions). There have to be entry-level networking jobs that work normal M-F hours right? Maybe I should be talking to a recruiter?

Or work in a NOC and pray for a promotion after a year or two.

You're most likely going to have to concede to some windows server support, or CUCM at the least. M-F 9-5 is an internal IT department for a business hour company, like a bank or school or government. They typically don't have big enough departments for a dedicated network guy, but definitely a network specialist.

I had an entry level networking job with normal M-F hours, it was support for a vendor. You could look into that kind of thing if any vendors have offices nearby, I guess.

My boss refuses to accept that I value time spent with my family over a 6 month stay in Germany for an "advancement opportunity". I don't give a gently caress, whatever money that I'd gain isn't worth it to me. I've got two grandparents that are sick and my dad's not in the best health. He can gently caress himself if he won't accept that.

Well, I asked about further details on the whole proposal, including timelines and what the job will involve. All I got back was "I don't want to take this to the executive team unless I know you're interested". I responded "look I don't feel comfortable without knowing the exact details". So we then got in an argument and he said "look you're just using your family as an excuse". So I basically told him I don't care what he thinks he knows about me or my family but, yes I'm willing to turn down an opportunity because my family is literally that important. "Look your family doesn't want you to die for them" "I would if I had to." That ended the conversation. drat I hope this interview on Monday goes well.
