What if like me you're chronically afraid of dealing with Asbestos in any shape, type, or form?

Then that'd be... Incredible, but I very much doubt that is the case. Remember we live in the era of accreditation trumping merit. I'm not even saying it's a bad thing, just the name of the game.

Here's the thing, what does training in AI mean for the average layperson who's not in IT? Also, my point about COVID was exactly the fact that when I first heard of it around the end of January '20, and how bad it could pote

My two cents as someone who's not in IT and not doing well in life. Whatever happens, happens. Nothing I do will change anything about this. If it's as disruptive as you've described, I know my Government will do something to

It's made renting costs go significantly higher in my country due to digital nomads in certain places so that in-office jobs in cities require now taking crazy commutes like I'm doing or be unable to save money period all while li

Well, I'd probably get a degree by the time I'm 30 if I start now because I'd do it part time. Still, get your point I've been having a mental breakdown about this for weeks, what degree, if a degree, etc... Man, had I k

My biggest issue for those is that I don't have a related degree and I'm based out of Spain, which severely limits my options.

I gotta hand it to you, how, how, could you "guess it all" out? When I was little, I was bullied, I never fitted in. When I got to High School, I became a Chronic Liar, telling everyone how awesome my social life was and imaginary

Yes, you're right. I would delete this post, but I cannot anymore.

I understand that... I have to figure it out by my own, but my dream was always do something related to tech, and I've failed at. Now, I don't know what to do. I'm blank. Commute-wise, it's just that I'm much more m

I am seeing a therapist, for years. I struggle a lot with jealousy, but it's the fact that most of them are already successful and I've failed so much. I talk to them and the only thing I am reminded of is how much their lives are

Easy way to know who works in IT and who doesn't at my company.

WFH?

I'm open to quit if someone offers me a better salary and/or working conditions. Since I don't have a degree and I am not in IT, this is a pipe dream.

I will keep your advice at heart, thank you for it again. I don't know if my life will be better than the lives of others, though, as I don't have a degree, and I am seemingly less intelligent than others, which limits my ability

Ok, that makes sense. So it's not Unlimited PTO "at will", it's "discretionary PTO according to your negotiation skills with your manager".

The concept of at will employment baffles me as a European, especially since healthcare is also tied up into it. Good point, I forgot that was a thing at all.

Caring about the environment just wasn't an issue back then.

by user-extended 4y ago
In the case of situations like those, do contracts with unlimited PTO have a clause with "you cannot fire X employee for being too much on vacation"? Speaking from a place of complete and utter ignorance.

Will companies and governments listen? No, so nobody cares, just move on, the 8h with a dumb 1h lunch break is standard everywhere in the world. Kinda reminds me how Twitch has this bot to remind you to stay hydrated (and keep streaming) bu

I'm not OP, and I'm 23, but your comment quite resonated with me and I want to thank you for it, as someone whose life feels like a constant wreck ever since I was 16.

You can import more.

I cannot contribute any advice as I'm 23, no degrees, life is a wreck, etc. I wish you the best and do your best to get a job and get your life moving. I believe in you.

I wouldn't be taking out huge loans for this, thankfully. I have a full-time job, and could pay for the degree without hurting my pocket "that much". What I am more scared of failing again, wasting so much money for nothing.

I don't have any other interests, really. This is why I am thinking of going into CS again. I don't know what else I'd like to do in life. Honestly. In person-courses in my country are less expensive than online courses, but
