  • Back then yeah. I also had to ask for time off and often got denied.

    I once got denied for time off to help a family member who was in the hospital who I was going to drive home.

    I told them I’m not abandoning family and took off any way and got fired.

    This was after I gave a months notice and marked my schedule unavailable.

    I’ve also got fired for a similar situation but for a college final that I literally could not reschedule or miss.

    Now I’m highly qualified and at a much better job. And I still, decades later, have a ton of anxiety about asking for off. And theyre like “if you need off, take off, why are you so worried about it?”










  • Personally. I want an AI tag so I know to look more carefully.

    I don’t mind AI speeding up a skilled engineer.

    But I do mind a crypto bro, turned AI bro, with little experience, too eagerly advertising their vibe coded app.

    Its too exhausting to audit everything I may be interested in and the AI tag would help me to budget and optimize my time.
