My resignation coincidentally happened about a week after my boss asked me to make an action plan to address my absences from diabetes-related issues. That deeply offended me.
But the real reason is I just couldn't hack the daily commutes anymore. Waking up at 5am just so I could get to work at 8 and ensure I leave by 5pm, only for it to not matter much because the trip home is another 2.5-3hrs. When you do get to the apartment, you still have to prepare and cook a meal, take down the laundry, and wash the dishes.
Then there's the fact that it's hard to breathe inside a packed e-jeepney and the constant power interruptions in the MRT. My anxiety is always on alert mode sandwiched with so many people and worrying that at any time, the lights and aircon will die, and smoke will come billowing out.
Almost a decade ago, I decided I didn't want to spend at least 20 hours every week of my life anymore on commutes and preparing for them. So I moved out of the house and lived in places where I can walk to and from work.
It's one of the better decisions I've made in my life. That's roughly 400 full 24-hour days I didn't have to spend on the road and the downsides that came with it.
The senior management team was in all sorts of disarray and I disagreed with the strategies and general direction they were guiding the company in.
The last straw was I had a couple of direct reports who took on additional roles and were promised compensation increases and promotions that they didn't deliver.
Those weren't just minor additional roles. They both took on project management roles when the company really needed them. And to keep stringing them along only to be told at the end after months that they wouldn't be able to deliver was something I couldn't take anymore.
My manager said that my above average rating was a mistake and I should be grateful for the 3% increase that they have granted me. This was after I finished a 3month feature to just 6weeks (OTY of course).
Much more reasonable. It's five times the price of Sync Pro (for reddit), but it feels more like a safe bet if I end up using Sync for Lemmy for at least five years.
Are 5G bands here unlocked in the Philippines for pixels or region locked from pixel exclusive features? Philippines is not included in the list of supported countries.
Squabblr is now a "free speech" platform that only draws the line on racism. Everything else is fair game because apparently the owner is known to make LGBTQ insults. Those who disagreed were removed.
It's one of the reasons why I was hesitant trying out a non-federated site. There's a risk that it's just going to be another Voat. Tildes lang yata yung clear sa goal nila about creating a better culture than Reddit.
PC builders, what's a good upgrade path for my old PC? My budget is P30k, here are the specs:
CPU: i3-8100
Mobo: B360
GPU: 1060 6GB
RAM: 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Monitor: Asus 60 Hz 24", VZ249HE yata
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520w
Use case: gaming, streaming, minor video editing, work
Secondhand preferred sana (except PSU), at ayoko sana magpalit ng mobo muna unless malaki diperensya sa performance (10+ FPS). Iniisip ko baka bumili nalang ako ng i7-8700 + 6700 XT + 650w brand new PSU tapos to follow nalang yung monitor upgrade sa pasko haha. Mukhang kaya naman sa budget pero baka may alam kayo na mas optimal sa P30k hard lemmit limit.
Marunong naman sya magbayad at laging nagbabayad on or before nung sinabi nyang date kaso pagod na ako. ATM ako ng pamilya. Ako halos gumagastos ng lahat. Pag may mga kailangan ako nagbibigay, pag kapos, ako, lagi akong utangan. Pagod na akong maging banko. Kahit hindi lang ako ang may trabaho, ako pa din kasi ako ung may malaking sweldo at marunong humawak ng pera. Lagi na lang sinasabihan na kawawa naman daw ung iba kong relatives.
Pagod lang akong maging ATM ng kung sino-sino kaya hindi ako nagpautang. Kailangan nya ung pera at sigurado naman akong magbabayad sya pero PAGOD NA AKO.
Ganda ng Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun light novels. One of my recommendations if you like high school slice-of-life light novels or if you just enjoy things like Oregairu or Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Tinapos ko yung ten volumes ng Tomozaki-kun in three days HAHAHA
