Applied for a job adjacent to what I am doing right now. Data/SQL architecture stuff. It has been a long rollercoaster ride as a professional cj but the company I work for isn't in the most growth-positive of industries. People here are way tenured and stay for a long time, and for good reason too. Pay is deece, bennies are good and the culture is great. I could set the recliner back and cruise...the lazy rear end part of me really, really wants to but personally it's just unfulfilling. Plus I am pretty much solo on my beat (we have a software/db person on staff but their focus isn't on sysadmin stuff unless I am out) It's weird being gainfully, securely employed and hunting for other opportunities but I just can't see this cj gig continuing to be something I look forward to every single day. I miss having a team of tech people to bounce ideas off of and learn from. And I miss having more time to be creative. Right now my biggest fear is sticking in place too long and becoming way stale and too hyper-focused in one industry. I have to solo support locations that are open almost every day of the year and some that aren't even close to where I am at. We currently have two storefronts and are opening a third in a year or so.

lol when the accounting team put one of the contractors on our team in the “wrong queue” and was behind a month paying him, all 6 of us on the team threatened to stop working until he was paid. He was paid in full the next day. Collective bargaining absolutely 100% works.

I think the shittiest thing about interviewing at amazon is that after rejecting me they didn't pay back my expenses like they promised. I'm bothering them for months and they ghosted me.

In my case it was flying interstate for an internship interview. The idea was that I'd pay for transport to and from the airport, and then file for reimbursement. They acknowledged receipt of the reimbursement paperwork, but never actually paid me back. I tried to chase them up a couple of times, but they just ghosted me. Probably doesn't help that I'm on the other side of the world in Australia. I'm a student, too, so it's not like I had a couple of hundred bucks just lying around to blow on Ubers etc. Stay classy, Microsoft.

the weird thing is that I flew around for interviews a couple of times (lol at me being unemployed for so long) and every company paid me fine, no big deal. I'd never expect this from *looks down at notes* the second largest tech company in the world.

qhat posted:My gf works in a hospital and it's all unionised, and being someone who just joined recently she is not eligible to take the holidays she wants if someone with greater tenure wants that date, so she basically never gets Christmas off etc. And her pay is also heavily tied to her tenure regardless of how hard she works. My wife has worked in 4 non-union hospitals and they all were like this  . Also illegally forcing her to work lunch breaks and other nonsense.

AML / KYC has cracked that nut. there are no Swiss banks in the world top ten. not sure any even make the top 20 London doesn’t want to be Geneva

I said I wouldn't, either, and almost added, "Because I would never answer an email while on vacation and neither should you." but my boss's sense of work ethic is all hosed and it was already after 5.

hobbesmaster posted:wikipedia has them down at 40th: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_banks#By_total_assets going by assets is pretty misleading when talking about this type of institution. nbsd presumably forgot about credit suisse, but the basic fact is unchanged: the actual work happens inside the markets dealt with. barcap or hsbc will not disappear either, but they'll become more eu-centered.

I mean, assuming that things do go haywire, because if they don't a formal agreement with much the same effect will presumably have been reached anyway. If a deal has been set up between the sensible adults and it works why would said sensible adults then gently caress with it? And lol if you think senior banking staff are going to have much trouble getting visas no matter what. Also, don't individual bankers p much hate the idea of living in Frankfurt instead of London? feedmegin fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jul 8, 2019 |

I feel you completely. My friend at the other company has reassured me with the ever so lovely "Oh the HR department has no idea what they're doing and is regularly in chaos so if they don't get in touch it could be just because they lost track of it." Going to have to reach out and check in if I don't hear back by Wednesday.
