I've worked for places that would have a potential contract about to fall in their lap, but it wasn't solid. So they would string along candidates until the contract fell through and then ghost them. It was super lovely.

Doom Mathematic posted:I want to re-emphasize that java script: The Good Parts is not a great read for learning about modern JavaScript because it's from 2008 and a lot of incredibly important and valuable stuff has been added to the language since then. Everything from here down is missing from the book, and this is stuff everybody uses every day now. Like, classes. And variables with vaguely sensible scope. it helped me out before es5 was a thing

I usually get really good performance reviews until very recently when I got a new manager with no development experience. I don’t think it’s my performance that’s changed. I’m also looking for something else now because it’s just been sucky for the last year or so, even if they pay is decent.

lol after 5 different 1 hour interviews with positive feedback the company I was looking forward to getting an offer from announced a hiring slowdown, and now I have to wait for approval from some upper exec. lovely

we were moving to another part of the office once and a coworker wanted to block off our area by moving whiteboard around. it was blocking other people from getting to their areas so I moved the whiteboard back. the coworker got really angry at me for doing that and said “you don’t want to be in my poo poo list”. I laughed and said “nah man, you don’t want to be on mine” jokingly. he got put on a pip like a week later and was let go because he wasn’t completing his work
