This is one of the worst takes I’ve seen in a while.
I know many single moms who work their asses off to provide for their kids - and in most cases the father is absent and/or does the absolute bare minimum.

This is how conservative men behave. They think that women only exist to reproduce and serve their “needs.” They think women are inferior to men.
They hate women.

I have used VMware in my homelab for over a decade - in a few months time I’ll be losing all of my employee licenses, so I figure it’s a good time to move on.
I’ve never used Proxmox before so it should be fun to learn.

Imagine going to work for a company that has an 18 week parental leave policy.
Then, due to an acquisition, that benefit is reduced to just 10 days.

I had to circumvent IT to get my corp workstation upgraded from 32GB to 64GB of RAM. I normally don’t like to do this, but I was really struggling with performance issues.
Rigid policies that don’t allow exceptions are bad for business, especially when productivity is impacted.

Bootcamps often overpromise and underdeliver, know what red flags to look out for:
🚩 Hides their identity, so their credentials can’t be verified
🚩They make exorbitant success claims with zero evidence
🚩Attack and bully anyone who questions them

So there’s a religious organization called “He Gets Us” that spent $20 million on a Super Bowl commercial.

I use my real name everywhere, everyone knows where I work and live - and yet I have never faced bullying and harassment, nobody has tried to get me fired.
That’s cisgender, white, male privilege.
So when I say I’m done with content because of the comments I get, it’s true. But it’s also incredibly stressful to always be in the public eye and constantly have your livelihood threatened by others.

We’re not done yet, EUC’s upcoming divestiture means another acquisition. This could be a good thing but the uncertainty is stressful.
We received zero welcome RSU’s post-acquisition and all of our roles were frozen. No promotions, no growth until the next acquisition. (2/3)
