  • Thank you.

    Yes I am aware and that’s funny is when I was interviewing for my first junior dev role I was so frustrated that none of the larger companies seemed to like me, I really sucked at interviewing and as I have ADHD I either overshare way too much or just blob the interview.

    Now speaking to people I trained with who were hired by the likes of Goldman Sachs (they only took degree people) they all hate it. Like they got put on temp contracts and won’t be made permanent. Some women went in from Google and said why you paying these engineers so much get them out of the country to somewhere where labour is cheaper. 😤

  • Thanks for the info.

    We will definitely never be bought out by another company. Both the owners are also software engineers and are not in it for loads of money.

    So we don’t actively look for new clients as we find that since we are so fair and work well with our clients we get a lot of repeat business and word of mouth means a lot of people recommend us.

    This is part of why they increased our pay and reduced our hours, because they were in a position to be able to do that and they truly put life first then work. So there is literally no chance we would ever start ramping up our need for more clients or trying to sell the business.

    As an example we could quote a client £30,000 for an application and write a very thorough specification and timescale. But then a year later we could still be making changes for the client at no extra cost as the boss takes the approach if the requests seems reasonable then we will do it. We make a fortune on hosting applications and servers for all clients anyway that it all evens out in the end.

    Honestly it’s really hard for me to articulate what kind of a place it is and how they show everyday that they do care about us all. They don’t really like remote work but I’ve had car issues for over a year and they’re happy for me to do 2 days in office and 2.5 days at home. Now that the car situation is sorted but money is tight for a new one particular with the mileage I would do they just said nah the current situation is working for you and us so let’s just keep doing that.

  • Hey, if I was in charge I would hire you right now.

    Whenever I talk about my job I have to stress so much that I am lucky af. I don’t believe I deserve to be where I am because frankly I was a mess at life until late thirties and made a mountain of poor life choices.

    My point in this is to say that change is possible for anybody, given enough determination, a massive dose of luck and being in the right place to actually get my life on track. I am not special and I’m not particularly smart, just like solving problems.

    If you’re interested I did a couple of coding boot camps and although I had a lot of experience from just making things for myself I believe anybody can up skill.

  • It really is that bad though, I used to think I was insane when I worked customer service call centre roles and they’d say (like all places I worked), without laughing, that we should get there 15 minutes before our shift to load all our systems. So basically work 75 mins for free each week. Whilst at the same time they pay as little as legally required and monitor your toilet breaks about 9 mins a day.

    So naturally I am against this and push back and they say you gotta do it. And I’m like like fuck I do bro I could leave this job now and get another one tomorrow. In the end I was ready to die on this hill so I go in 15 mins early and at the end of the day I log off 15 mins early to get my coat on. Suffice to say I was no longer required to log in early. Most people did it though.

    Now to contrast this I am a software developer who has got lucky at a small company, tiny actually. They really care about the staff and the clients. I’m sick quite a lot more than the average person and I overthink things but I am told that WE come first we don’t live to work we work to live. Recently we all got pay rises and our hours reduced. There is no micro managing, no targets and no pressure. Only the pressure my stupid brain puts on myself.

  • I am not smart but this is what I get from this meme.

    It’s a play on how physics describes acceleration. In physics acceleration isn’t just about speeding up but any change in velocity.

    So:

    • Gas = Positive acceleration
    • brake = negative acceleration
    • steering = velocity takes speed and direction, so acceleration.

  • Again I am going in to the realm of conjecture here over a little post, but maybe they had loads of information on Apple users from a data breach and this is how they were capitalising on them.

  • I’m just speculating but maybe they (scammers) filled out a fraudulent activity form on the Apple site on behalf of the victim and then called before an Apple rep did.

  • Can confirm. Have ADHD and eat like this. Less eating when in meds though.

  • I already don’t use Amazon and I think I might actually have them at a net loss as I used to say things didn’t arrive back when they would do anything to make you happy.

    Upvoted because everybody should stop using Amazon.

  • I know there are but my employer is amazing and the work life balance is great. Don’t care enough to try and change our tech stack, but I hold no ill will towards anyone who does care enough.

  • Yup. Software developer here for a small company. We use a Windows. Chrome for testing applications and edge is just there. We are all in on Microsoft, server is C# .Net, running on azure with teams and outlook and office.

    I do use Firefox though but I’m the only one out of 7.

  • But how do you know that some people haven’t changed their views from coming up against counter arguments?

  • Apple shareholders reject proposal to scrap DEI program

  • Correct. I was hired as a Xmas temp to work the Avenues (accessories) and during that time applied to the Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist and got hired.

  • As the other person who replied said, this is as Apple Retail / Genius Bar.

    When I say I was shit I mean that I’d had no less than 50 jobs at the point I got in at Apple. All dead end jobs where you get treated like crap, paid crap and expect 150% effort. Coupled with ADHD I would just get bored, have shit time keeping and get fired, just not turn up for shifts or just stop going alltogether.

    I like to think they hired me because I am good at being a fake extrovert and I am passionate and that must have come across.

    I started retail as a Xmas temp for 3 months and during this time applied for the Genius Bar, which lead to all of the information in my original comment.

    Happy to answer any more questions though.
