We've tried nothing and we're all our of ideas!

Gtfo, if you want to eliminate crunch, just don't have them work more than 40 hours. It's easy accept that youre gonna miss some deadlines, cause you fucked up the planning. Promise your workers triple pay during OT and suddenly the middle managers ain't as motivated to try to force unofficial OT

The video I saw was saying cat into grep is totally fine in day to day life do whatever comes out of your fingertips naturally, but if you're making a bash script for others to use, use grep args because cat pipe grep can do some strange stuff with error handling. Which I have no experience with, but sounds reasonable

I agree with that first quoted person that "the cost of proper cybersecurity is not $0 and that means small business have more costs" but I'm not sure I see how lawmakers are going to make cybersecurity easier for small businesses. I guess they could give Microsoft a bunch of money to provide discounted malware protection? That's the terrible idea assume they're going to go with, but realistically, how can you possibly secure 80,000 small businesses' IT networks without the business incurring some expense?

If ive done the math right, the previous owner was averaging around 40,000 km/year that seems awfully high. Was this a Uber or delivery driver vehicle?

Importantly, they've given you a whole months notice. Figure out what happens with your PL (are you unlimited? Then make sure to take the max time your manager will allow, if not figure out if it gets paid out), two, don't let them terminate you early, try to still be employed by the 1st of Jan, it helps with health insurance sticking around a little longer, and third, figure out what's going on with severance. Potentially it's in your favor to tell them you WILL come in, then no-show, rather than say you won't and get laid off next week.

Finally: you got plenty of employable skills and people are hiring. To help do these 2 things: if you've got employee reviews from the past few years, email those to your personal email cause it might have accomplishments in it, 2) get a copy of the job description for your position, whatever skills it lists, you have em already, or they wouldn't have hired you!

There's a couple online if you look around, but they're all pretty small: Opire.dev oss.issuehunt.io/issues Boss.dev/issues/open And probably dozens more

And as a cautionary tale, look what happened to bountysource
