I've seen some people floating the idea that this ruling also nullifies that rollback, as the affordable care act does not allow discrimination of provision of care based on sex, and if this ruling is centered around the whether or not the word sex encompasses any characteristic of which sex is a part, then the same logic would apply to the ACA also.
No one actually knows what their first job will be like. But trying to hide that you expect 60-100 hours a week is stupidly counterproductive. Banking, law, consulting are pretty straight up about the hours. People would quit halfway through their first month, their first week of you tried to pull 100 hours on those who didn’t know they’d be working those hours.
A fresh college graduate at age 22 does not understand what 60-100 hours mean. The closest frame of reference they have is pulling an all nighter before an exam or to get a term project done. They can't contemplate their romantic relationship falling apart, the lack of feedback resulting in continuous self doubt keeping them up at night when they're supposed to be resting or how shallow friendships between colleagues are compared to friendships between students (especially when their colleagues have families).
They understand what it means to soldier on despite being tired. They don't understand how much they've taken for granted all that support and feedback that was able to let them cope with the stress, and that now they're on their own.
From my friends who recently graduated and took these jobs in nyc, this wasnt so suprising. They expected to work 10-12 hour days. The familial stuff sucks if you were planning on shacking up at 23, but most people just work their day then drink aggresively in midtown before ubering back to whatever 2k/mo studio tenement they managed to find in brooklyn. Take a boozy trip to the hamptons a couple times in the summer, take your LA trip, go to europe. Suddenly working 12 hour days doesnt seem so bad when you have a rolex on your wrist and a high concentration of adderal in your veins.
I expect in a couple years it will get old, but people are waiting to settle down well into their 30s these days to extend these years of pure adult independence for as long as they can.
That’s the thing about burnout; it feels great because you’re so productive and respected ... until one day your energy is gone. It might take years, it depends on how much support you get from people around at managing your stress, and of course it depends on your own ability to manage it too. I’m skeptical of how effective toys like a Rolex and booze is long term at easing the stress.
My ex-wife felt like she was on top of the world until she was burnt out and it developed into full fledged depression at age 27. I’m not saying everyone will end up like her, everyone won’t develop lung cancer from smoking either.
> Fresh graduates absolutely do not know what they are getting into when they start their first job.
Are you saying that doctors entering their first residency have no idea it's going to be a long 2-4 years? When a friend of mine gradated law school and landed her choice job, her comment was 'the next 2 years are going to suck, but then I'll be set'. Years later she was right.
We are not talking about starting any random job, but those jobs that everyone knows have an initial hazing type of culture. The large majority of jobs are not like this, but big law and finance are and those graduates going into those industries are fully aware.
Thanks. I do remember people started moving over to reddit back then or at least starting to look around. I know I certainly did. But I just want to using traditional forums.
"Sorted" is a word used here to mean that a task has been completed.
e.g. "Did you get that thing sorted yet?" "yeah, I sorted it out last week."
It can apply to basically anything.
You might also simply say "Sorted." as you finish doing whatever it is you're doing, to announce that you are finished. Similar to just saying "Done." or "Finished." in this respect, possibly with the added implication that there was a problem that has now been solved.
This looks incredibly useful. Real-time inventory sync is a big headache for some of our customers. (We provide a native mobile sales channel for retailers with only a traditional web presence. Think Tapcart (https://tapcart.co/), but not just for Shopify). I'd like to know what your plans are for which platforms to support next, and if you've got ideas for opening up an API at some point as well?
Thanks! The next integrations are looking to be either WooCommerce, QuickBooks Online, or Wix. NetSuite is also a big one but they are super slow in getting back to me. I’d be very interested in learning more about your product and customers, sounds great! The API has been something that’s been requested before but probably not a 2019 initiative. If you guys have an API that I can work with, that'll also work. Either way, let’s get in touch! You can email me at: james@trunkinventory.com
Most places that are just doing it for that reason won't be advertising anything other than their own /24 or whatever though. You have to fuck up pretty spectacularly (and have your upstream providers do the same) to be able to accomplish what has happened here.
They did. We already went through this bubble / bust cycle once about 10 years ago, albeit on a much smaller scale. Look up the Championship Gaming Series.
Needing explicit permission / cooperation from the developer of a game to run a tournament is more of a barrier to entry than needing to host a server.
I can’t think of a single popular online multiplayer game where I would need permission or cooperation from the developer to operate a tournament with my friends/local community...
