my huge company formally ranks the different supporting functions as part of a large internal survey and hr is always at the absolute bottom year over year since the survey started (with IT right behind them)

but the role of hr isnt to support the employees so if anything that's an endorsement for them doing their job AMA trying to get former employers to verify that i worked there. good thing i kept those offer letters!

i got the money i asked for so i'm gonna say yes to the new place i have no idea how to professionally explain that i'm leaving for a competitor. not a direct competitor, but they make reasonably similar products, aimed at a different segment of the market, and we actually offer an integration with one of their products. in the past i've jumped industries with new jobs, so i didn't bother telling anyone where i was going since it didn't seem relevant. but i feel obliged to mention it given that there's a (remote) possibility i might actually end up working with people from my current company on a project if a customer uses products from both companies...what do?

i dunno what fantasy world you're in where wage slaves have lawyerbux to even mount a fight against something like that, but jimmy johns had egregious non-competes in their sandwich artist contracts up thru 2016 the non-poaching (i work at mcdonalds A, i want a job at mcdonalds B, company won't let me even think about it) BS is just getting struck down now like you could be giving really lovely ruinous advice and handwaving away legitimate risk depending on the state,, idk maybe sort that out

This discussion actually caused me to look-up our current laws and I think they are fairly ok: * The maximal non-compete length is 1 year * It cannot be overly broad * The employer has to pay you at least half of your average monthly earnings for the duration.

There has to be some kind of economic indicator of how many recruiter messages you get in a day. I think I got 5 in the last 24 hours. One of them said they were looking for PHP developers who could be trained on Golang, and that this would help me build my resume and find a great job. I couldn't tell if they were trying to hire me for a job, or sell me training. Also it was sent to my work e-mail. Apparently they were a "Food tech" company. What is that, like, an app for delivering food or something?

retrained into golang developers. seeing as golang was specifically designed to be used by terrible programmers...
