That’s more a bill for what you used.

Yeah I treat the downvote as a way of saying shit content or trolling or whatever. People on here seem to treat it like a disagreement button.

If you’re not engaging to try and bring people to your point of view then what are you here for cause I’m not here for a circle jerk, I can wank myself off just fine. This place seems like a club no dissimilar to r/conservative but for “our side” and fuck that I’ll hold my people to the same standards as people I don’t agree with. Thats integrity.

Maybe everyone should be a literal more willing to discuss things than just dog pile on with downvotes.

This place is mighty insufferable and I say that as one insufferable twat.

No. But as I said my wording was poor. I should have said Nadella made Azure the player it is today and thus how rich Microsoft are.

That’s not nothing And it shows he makes money for shareholders. Why wouldn’t you want this guy as CEO if that’s your aim.

Not correct either. Maybe my wording was poor, several people were there at the start of Azure.

Nadella is the reason it’s the second largest cloud provider next to AWS.

Interesting as the window is the main factor for me in the office. My desk is facing the window, not close to it but it’s there and bright.

At home, when working from home, most the time, my desk is facing a wall with the window behind me and using closed curtains.

So what I’m hearing is maybe I’m a little sensible to light and that’s why I leave with headaches? I used to hate driving at night too as all the other lights on cars and stuff are super bright and again I’d get headaches.

I don’t hate it but If I work in light mode or have phone in that mode then I will leave the office with a head ache.

To me with dark mode anything I am reading is light. I am looking for light. In light mode everything is light and you’re looking for the absence of light and I can’t take it. It doesn’t hurt my eyes but it certainly makes me squint more often and then get a headache or worse a migraine.

I also work with sunglasses in the office as the office itself is too bright.

I’ve been using computers since the early 90’s and they were always dark mode first. Particularly in jobs with bright text on black.

The cock sucking part doesn’t seem relevant. Plenty of straight monsters out here.

Didn’t he start Azure? Like the reason MS have so much money still.

At making shareholder value he seems pretty good at that and that’s all that matters.

I don’t admire you at all.

How do you find the time and motivation to game everyday?

I personally think it’s great to share your mistakes if you want to be open about them. I don’t necessarily share too much socially online but I do overshare in the office at times. I honestly don’t care what people think of me, I know who I am and what I stand for.

I’d be pissed if I was in that crowd. Imagine the compensation on that one if it hurt you.

Oh crumbs Biscuit is cute. Happy New Year Biscuit.

I spent five nights there. Crazy.

Nice. Might try that next time I get a cat.

How cat choose own name?

Why are adults and children’s prices the same. Just charge per seat at that point.

Sure.

Total hours of work per week 33, standard in the UK is 37.5 but I have a good boss. I work Monday - Thursday 08:00-16:30 with an unpaid hours break. Friday 09:00-12:00. Tuesday and Thursday are office days, the rest are from home.

Holidays (vacation) we start with 20 days per year increasing 1 day per year for a maximum of 25 days total.

Sickness, unlimited within reason but even then it’s unlimited. I’m not happy a lot of the time and so I much have been off sick for 4-5 weeks this year in total and never once been pulled up about it, again my boss is good. Other jobs would typically put you on a development plan if had more than 3 instances of sickness, but even then they would work with you until you got better.

Healthcare, we live in the Uk. It’s free at point of service as it’s factored into what we pay out of wages.

Cost of living is quite high but I wouldn’t say worse than the USA. But everything is pretty much 33-50% more expensive than pre covid. Rent is insane.

I should say that as a software engineer, two years in, that my salary is probably lower than many many companies but for me I like time more than I like money and their is literally never stress at work, it either gets done on time or it doesn’t. We all come first.

I’m sorry you have to go through that dude and honestly after reading this it makes me think I have no right to complain, it’s all relative though so I’ll still complain.

I can’t believe how bad y’all have it over there. I’m hesitant to point out how much better my situation is in the UK as that would be cruel af. But if you’re curious I can highlight the differences between the USA and UK as we have it so much better than this.
