There often are portable versions of programs that you don't have to install.
I just tried. IT is one step ahead, the site is blocked ๐
Could do it on a personal computer and load it on USB? Idk, just thinking out loud right now
I could email it to myself, (Flash Drives are prevented) but it's not worth it. I am extremely fortunate that my company does not give two shits about micromanaging, and so no one really cares about my status. It's just annoying to me that it goes yellow so quickly, but it's not worth the risk.
Fair enough, I'm glad you're not being held to arbitrary metrics that show nothing about actual effort or work done.
It's one of several reasons I'm still here despite being severely underpaid! ๐ ๐ญ
I get that, sometimes not being harassed is worth a pay cut.
Also unlimited PTO and WFH for anyone who wants to
That's pretty dope. Is the PTO actually usable?
Yep. I have literally never been turned down for PTO. And if I want to cut out early, I just tell my team, and everyone is cool. I should probably clarify that I am on salary.
God I'm so jealous. I have 28 days worth of hours and minutes plus bank holidays. I'm also salary. I technically work for a spun off part if the government, so if I went to work private I would at least double my yearly earnings, but there wouldn't be stability in my working days, no pension, no built in disability or injury pay etc etc etc. That said, we should be getting paid a lot more than we are.
We're hiring! No pensions though, and 401k match is 3%. Health benefits aren't bad
I'm not moving from Scotland any time soon
There's several openings in our Leeds office, and most of us work remote
As a Stonemason would I have any transferable skills?
For now.
