T will lose a lot of very competent people due to RTO
It’s been happening everywhere. Skilled and experienced talent leaves first. I’m beginning to think that for some reason they want to get rid of all of us, very valuable workers included. And I can’t really grasp why. AI and offshoring are the only... — read more

Funny thing about coding… dates!
Built the “coffee badging tracking” PBI dashboard, then they laid me off too. I’ll have the last laugh when the automations fail because I set them to expire 12/31. HR stinks!
