Programmers have uniforms? WTF?
Any job can have a uniform if your leadership has brain damage
Comment of the day.
I don't mind uniforms. At least I don't wear out my own clothes, the ones from work are free.
The majority of workplaces I've seen with uniforms require you to buy them. Maybe that's changed in the last 10 years or so, that would be nice.
Lmao that sounds illegal
Oh wait, America is a thing
They get around it by claiming you can deduct it from your taxes but you can only do that if you itemize your return which means you need at least (roughly, last year, married couple IDK the other filing statuses) $25k in deductions just to break even. To work at a job that is very likely to pay you minimum wage.
This is fucked up.
Bertucci's made me buy stupid uncomfortable black shoes that I never used outside of work. For a minimum wage job.
I'm in Europe
And if they don't have brain damage, are they really corporate leadership material?
At my old job we had "uniforms" which meant: a polo with a logo on it.
I heard about dress codes before, even about enforcing them, but never about uniform requirements. Wild.
At my job, they give out company polos and t-shirts, but no requirement to wear them. We're just being asked to wear them if a client is coming or if there's an in-house exhibition.
As someone else wrote, I also prefer to wear out the gifted clothes rather than my own.
Same here, re: the first paragraph. I received two shirts and a (good quality) windbreaker. I've never heard anyone having to buy company uniforms, but I'm in Europe.
As an American, I think the only time I’ve ever paid for a company-branded clothing item was when one company offered us (completely optional) customized soccer jerseys in celebration of that year’s World Cup. They were actually pretty nice! But, I’ve never worked anywhere a uniform was mandatory.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment in losing my last job (besides the steady paycheck and the best health insurance plan I’d ever had) was that I’d only a couple months earlier collected enough corporate t-shirts to wear a different company-branded shirt each day of the week.
My first job did, for some reason. It was just a polo, so it wasn't a big deal, but I did think it was weird since we never had customers or anything like that at the office 🤷♂️
We had $company-shirt day where we were encouraged to wear them, but no hard requirement.
I once worked as paid practice at a company that required all employees to wear a business suit and tie or whatever the female version of that is. Every day, to go sit in front of the computer and meet literally always the same people, tie and a suit.
My practice ended, and they were very happy with me and asked me to stay longer. I said Lol no and left to never look back.
This was a helluva ride!
Honestly doesn't surprise me that they re-invited the guy, especially when he got fired. If he was there for a longer time, he'll leave a hole which is gonna match his skillset pretty well.
And the hiring manager isn't the firing manager, so they won't know who got thrown out for what reason. Their job is just to hire someone new and boy-howdy did they just find the perfect match for the opening.
So... is the mustache not real???
It is real, they just bought it in a store
Does anyone know more about the request to add blockchain? (Last image)
A few years ago, "blockchain" was what "AI" is now. Everyone was adding blockchain to everything. It was the next big thing, we can't risk getting left behind, etc.
Simply add a sprinkle of blockchain on top of your inherently centralized hierarchy. Voila! It's decentralized!
Wait, how did the interview go?
There's 3 images of comments chronicling the whole process.
My app showed only the first it seems, gonna check on my pc
Edit: worth it
I don't remember how Xitter works, but how were there no comments interrupting during the approximately 7 hours of posting updates?
Used to be, back before the enshittification, that you could view a thread of just your own tweets and not see a thousand nazis and bots. That was back in the days when a profile had its tweets in chronologist order instead of bullshit nonsense

This is tumblr, not sitter. You can simply reblog your own post and bypass any comments made halfway through.
It's mostly just screenshots of twitter though
In my defence, I was still waking up.
I believe, so long as you as you always reply to your own last post, you can then select your last post in the chain and it'll only show your own posts. Like, it is tree-shaped under the hood, it just hides that in the UI for whatever reason...
The odds are low but I have the opportunity to MAYBE do the funniest thing ever.
I work in the TV industry. Often enough with video switchers that I had a random overseas person contact me about scheduling a 20 minute interview on my opinion of Software Video Switchers. It’s scheduled for Friday.
I have ZERO to lose here. I’m gonna drone on about Blockchain.
2021
"They asked me to put on a face mask" kind of gives it away.
No need to guess either, the date is written on the interview confirmation picture
This is gold and the content we need more of in this community!
This should be a (short) movie.
Riveting!
You mad man. Well done.
