We weren't even underperforming though. They thought this would streamline things but if you're trying to create a department that is taking work from other departments and rumors within that it's going to lead to a loss of your department roadblocks start to happen.

It was essentially other departments not giving us the resources we needed to be successful because it was not in their best interest to do so. The guy who's idea it was thought it would be all good and that it would all gel but that's not what it was.

When their solutions were essentially giving us 4 times the workload I brought up we should be compensated for it. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do but with more context, the boss is notorious for piling on work without any type of compensation or even acknowledgment. Another project they did was successful and supposed to get free lunch and they didn't even do that for them.

The boss of our whole region has wanted to create this department forever and it kept getting denied for being unreasonable and they finally approved it and all its doing is showing them that they were right the whole time. The guy is scrambling because all his ideas have been pretty shitty

Sounds like you have bad managers then and I won't argue that point considering they can't seem to articulate any meaningful feedback for you. I still think you'd be hard pressed to provide conclusive evidence that they violated labor laws by reassigning you to another project because they disagreed with your assessment. You're free to file a complaint with your state's Department of Labor though and see what they make of it as they're more qualified than myself or anyone else here to make that determination.

They probably thought your assessment of the situation was way off base and asking for a raise after a period of underperformance just clinched it for them.

Personally I don't see a labor board or whatever being entirely convinced as your behavior would have to fall under 'protected actions', usually relating to discrimination, harassment, worker safety etc, and not just complaining that your workload is too much/unfair.

Latest console I own is the Xbone, and only because I won it as a company raffle prize. I don't play games on it anymore but I still use it as my streaming/media box on my living room TV. PC gets almost every game worth playing, and there's enough to play that I don't miss the handful of exclusives.

My car is only 2 years old so I try to keep it in good shape, and park on the edge of a row (where only one car can park next to me). I don't want to scratch the corners/edges of my door so I'll get in the passenger side and climb over to the driver's seat if I have to.

I also try to park next to other Subarus since we have a subie bro thing going on, and avoid Nissans like the plague.

i checked all those gift card options. There's only like 5 or something. and i'm not interested in any of them

Pretty sure you can get BezosBucks (Amazon credit) which is almost as good as cash if you ask me (even if you just use it to buy a different gift card off their site).

I buy almost everything with credit cards these days though so not having to handle/dispose of coins is just one of the benefits of that.

Because the game triggered the libs when it came out and they wanted to see it relevant again so they can rub it in the libs faces and trigger them again.

Yes, thats part of how you can tell if a place is genuinely haunted. Unexplained turds on the premises

Cooking is art but baking is a science.

But really, I have a degree in biochemistry and have worked in labs (not anymore though). I approach a baking project with the same attitude and rigor as I would with a lab protocol.

The one Ive worked on most recently is French macarons which I havent quite nailed aesthetically in terms of roundness and using the right amount of coloring (though the flavor and texture have been good). Also been trying a different flavor of filling each time to find one I really like.

Star Trek 25th anniversary and the sequel Judgement Rites are pretty fun point and click adventure games

The CD versions have voice acting with the original actors from TOS which adds a lot of charm to them.

Yes, I take my cat on a walk most afternoons

I like White Russians but I usually prefer light cream or half and half myself. If I have heavy cream Ill mix it in parts with milk.

I had one of my buds in XIV recommend it so I've been watching it. I've caught up to the dub releases but definitely been enjoying it and looking forward to more. Not enough of a weeb to read manga though.

How long is that going to take you? Extracting unpaid labor from prospective employees under the guise of make a sample of your work but with no real intention of hiring them is a well known scam.

Its more referring to the power structure of a business, where the people with money/stake in the business make all the decisions unilaterally and fire anyone who disagrees

Get two monitors and a desk with space for them if you don't already have that.

Maybe even 3, but my desk isn't big enough for me to try it myself.

Its problematic to be sure but not sure Id call it full stop unethical

Its because you stopped and stared instead of scrolling past like you do to the ads about cat food or car insurance so now the algorithm knows what youre about

The most npc like question deserves an npc answer

My favorite response to this actually comes from NPCs in STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl

"Just trying to make it, that's all"

Nobody gets the reference but they know the feeling.
