they were going to start pulling people back into the office, and that COVID vaccinations were required beginning in April.
I'd be pissed about the loss of time. After the interview and being notified they'd hire you, I'm surprised they didn't send paperwork with this type of info. Although I never will or have worked a corporate job, so maybe that's first day on the job stuff. Sounds like it would have been hell to stay.
Wouldn't do corporate even if the pay was better. Just because of shit like this and I've learned it's much better mentally to not have a boss or manager of any type. Did a small office job where I was theoretically the boss of the whole place, but there was still the owner/boss. I was expected to respond 24/7 for almost 15 years. The guy had ADD or something and could never focus. I had to put out his fires (there were many) and manage 8-10 other people, the accounting, the marketing, etc.
Yeah, part of the reason I started a small business a couple years ago. I'm on my way out the corporate door, because I'm ultimately tired of reporting to other people. What do you do for work?

I'm flying drones right now for real estate. Very much part time and pick and choose what I want to do. 90% of the time I just get to show up and do my thing. Don't interact with anyone and just send the files and the agents have their own in house editing. Commercial and/or residential. I'm researching AG land surveying and crop surveying though as that would be closer to home and would be an easy niche to get into and get to fly a kids toy for a job for ~$50/hr.
Made a decision 3 years ago to separate from my old work. Wife was making bank and so was I, but I was in an industry that was too volatile with kids #realestate. I managed an office and basically did everything. Acc...
I've been working remote for a year now and have been juggling 2-3 jobs at a time, since I've had so much extra time on my hands.
Yesterday I started another position with a very prominent employer that you would all know. I was going through the required corporate training and they had shit training on "conscious bias training" and how you must address the LGBTQ alphabet people according to their pronouns. If you didn't, it was considered harassment. They even banned political talk/jokes as they could become offensive to others.
If that wasn't enough, a corporate email came out saying they were going to start pulling people back into the office, and that COVID vaccinations were required beginning in April.
Last but not least, they had a clause in their training, that more or less denied you the ability to work for anyone else other than them. Complete and utter bullshit. Unless there is a conflict of interest, this isn't legal.
I put in my notice at the end...

I don't think that they can even legally do that. I would just claim to have and wait for them to require proof.
I pretty much said fuck off after how woke they were.
That was if you went in the office, it sounded like you had a choice..... for now lol.
But then aren't there laws that let you sue for harassment if someone else is just trying to drive up your legal bills?

He's another false profit,
I worked on a the absolute worst fucking standard for communicating to a battery to a car to charge it.
Wookie, any chance we can talk privately?
I think it would have been hilarious if you had gone in a let your inner Archie Bunker out for as long as you could.
My email account linked is a burner so if @Patrick shares it with just you I'd be okay with that.
I assume about RE photography?
richwicks saysI worked on a the absolute worst fucking standard for communicating to a battery to a car to charge it.
Isn't charging a car battery done essentially by a circuit that measure the load and sends the appropriate charge? Microprocessors yes, but I never thought a standard protocol would be needed or even patentable. Reminds me of the guy who replaces a bathroom mirror with a flat screen monitor and embedded cameras.
Not that you will ever read this probably, but let me explain it anyhow.
just_passing_through saysSaw my first (she/her) pronoun label in slack today when someone joined our group's channel. Gag.
The clock is ticking faster towards the date I say fuck-it, fuck-you money or not.
I did It/Cousin It but got in trouble. Apparently, mockery is not acceptable form of identifying myself.
Seems harmless or I don't get the joke. What's the cousin in here?

I read it. Like most on this blog, I am not afraid of learning something new.

I put in my notice at the end of the day. Shortest employment term ever. Fuck that.
