I am super glad that I got tenure last fall because loolololol there's a super simple way to slash your budgets. Just deny the probationary faculty promotion, claiming that they just didn't make the cut, and then if you decide you need the position again later you just rehire someone who starts at the bottom of the salary scale

Fuzzy Mammal posted:that sucks, sorry. my buddy at dell said they've instituted those too Fuzzy Mammal posted:i assume they're trying to accelerate attrition to avoid layoffs. yeah. i mean, theyre coming out and laying out what if the worst happens. layoffs are on the table too but only as a last resort or whatever. thing is we've been constricting for almost 2 decades now, any layoffs would be devastating like im just going to say it, we hinge on whether or not international students are allowed back in the country in august, and if theyre not, will they tolerate remote (they wont)

when i had top surgery (double mastectomy), i was out for 3-4 hrs, and then stupidly walked a few blocks back to our hotel and got a sandwich because i felt GREAT!!! because i was still on the good drugs, and then felt like i got hit by a truck the next day. strabismus surgery was like an hour and a half out, but i don't remember much of the next 24 hrs because i couldn't open my eyes lol

yeah no raises here, salary cut for VPs and above etc. they are still hiring but at a much reduced rate. they are firing people but in that quiet piece by piece way - you find out that a team of 20 erp developers in Poland got axed one week, then 10 BAs in Colorado etc.

This was the same as my wisdom teeth surgery. Mum drove me home and I felt totally fine. Like not even in pain at all Then the next day I wanted to die Its crazy how good real painkillers are compared to the stuff you get over the counter.

this reminds me that i learned recently that toilets outside the US don't clog???? like it's the way American toilets are designed to flush that makes them clog more easily, and no one else keeps a plunger in their bathroom. what the gently caress???

inlaws’ house in england has the whole two-tap thing. pretty sure all of their water’s potable as the home is maybe 60 years old and there’s no open holding tank or anything but it’s probably just what everyone is used to. i hate it!

in really old buildings the toilet has no plumbing, its just a huge open concrete pit out back that collects fertilizer, and you gotta squat over it. hope your balance is good or you might fall in lol

if you want your toilets to stop clogging, eat more fiber and less carbs and meat. that way your poop will be light and airy instead of sticky depleted uranium depth charges.
