I was due to start some client work this weekend, but it's been delayed. Feeling lost. Going to sort out my clothes cupboard to gain a sense of achievement.

I've been quiet because I've been busy. But I'm still here. Just.

I used to love a 5pm scrum followed by a 9am scrum. "What's your update from yesterday? Nothing. Nothing has happened since you last spoke to me approximately 0 working minutes ago.

We are delighted to reject you.
Starting a rejection email with β€œWe’re delighted” is diabolical

Expect more and more of this behaviour from companies.
I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well. Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS. I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind. I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

So true.
He just finished the final interview. Imply he’s probably getting the job. Schedule the rejection email for 2:17am Saturday.

My local Bank wouldn't let an elderly lady pay cash into her Son's bank account. Because it could be money laundering. So they took her to the self service till, to show her how to do it herself, as that gets around the money laundering proceedure. Yes, I'm serious.

Received an email from HSBC this morning stating that my credit card is now able to be used on Apple Pay I.e it had just been added to an Apple wallet. I didn’t do that so I was stressing trying to see what’s happened, couldn’t figure it out, no account compromises and no random devices shown. I went to a HSBC branch and they said β€œoh yeah it was an IT issue, we’ve had about 5 people come in”. OK SO SEND A NEW EMAIL SAYING THAT THEN? @HSBC @HSBC_UK
