None of these nuances matter, if you're not black you're white.Pochsy wrote:
Dilbert, you appear to be drifting backwards in your spin at an increasing rate of decay re: what is ethnicity and race.
For your consideration:
1.) The Irish were not considered to be "white" until the late 1800s
2.) The Italians were not considered to be "white" until the mid 1950s
3.) In 2020, I took a work demographic survey which had separate ethnicity categories for "Caucasian" and "Portuguese". I expect this means I am not "white"
What am I telling you, Dilbert? That it's a moving target, and for a guy who thinks there are no facts, you really are setting up the concept of "whiteness" as an absolute. I suggest you think on it.
Thats what I've been saying forever.Pochsy wrote:

I had the second round today with the hiring manager. Things went well (I think?) and she said she will recommend me to the person I would be reporting to, but that the process can take a few weeks. I found out that one of our vendor reps who I have built a personal friendship with over the last 5 or so years also used to work for this company and knows some of the executive management team very well. He called and put in a good word for me. I really think the position is mine if I want it. I may have been a little aggressive in the compensation requested, buttfuck it.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
I almost put my resignation letter in on Monday, but my better judgment stopped me. In this type of economic environment, I need to make sure I have at least one more offer before I quit. So I reached out to some former colleagues, and a guy that used to work for me sent me a great opportunity at his company. Said he is friends with the guy who would either be my direct report or the guy above him. I already passed the first round, so now it's on to the second and background checks etc. I'm trying not to get too excited about it before I nail the job down, but it would be a director position and almost double my current salary based on what my friend makes in a lower position. Plus based on the feedback from my former colleague (who knows me and my personality very well), I'd be a perfect fit for their work culture.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
No need. Someone talked some sense into the CFO and I was told that it was all a big misunderstanding.
I think they were worried because I threatened to quit, which after this I probably will.
I should be happy I got my way but this whole ordeal has made me very bitter about the way we are being treated.
I should know more by early next week, but hopefully it works out.

Was he acrimonious anywhere that connects directly back to him, or was it just BF2S. His posts are still here.Dilbert_X wrote:

I really can't wait for him to come back (from his mid-life crisis) in a few years to lambaste us about how little we know of the fine workings of Korean culture. All it'll take is one negative comment about Seoul or someone posting a Korean dinner that's more Chinese.DesertFox- wrote:
You better have spoken to him in Korean or you'll have impinged his progress.
wtf does that even mean? by which, i take it, you tried to stalk my facebook or something? (which is deeply, deeply weird, by the way, considering we've never befriended one another on any digital platform).Dilbert_X wrote:

i haven't changed any of my social media profiles or digital presence at all. i haven't had a facebook account in 5+ years. have you only just noticed this or something? i'm still on twitter, goodreads, last.fm ... pretty much all of the sites i've been using consistently for 15 years. i have not changed a single thing since clicking off bf2s for a short while ...
i've only ever asked for one thing to be removed from my 'digital history' and that was getting ken to delete a single post. that's because, when you searched for my twitter handle on google, one of the top results was a post here, years ago, in which i was bragging about hanging out with radiohead and how i trended on twitter/tumblr for it, mentioning my username @ in the process. didn't really want to have that as one of the top hits under my name, but not exactly controversial or sensitive stuff. but you nurse your pet theories!
i'm flying friday, transiting via germany. going 2 weeks earlier than planned to beat any potential spike/problems after lunar new year. right now they're at ~250 new cases a day, the lowest it has been since last november, and safely on the other side of their 1200-a-day 'third wave' peak. things are re-opening, slowly but surely.
here's a walkabout of my new neighbourhood. you can see my apartment at 6:50.
cya!
