Spear phishing disagrees with you.

If you’re targeting a specific individual, cloning their SIM or performing another number hijack or even intercepting their SMS in flight, are all viable.

For broader, more general attacks SMS is usually enough to keep anyone out.

Honestly, probably not much less secure than SMS.

You must play along.

The fact is that the reality is thinly veiled. They know that if they were not being paid to be there to interview me, they wouldn’t be, but they “tow the company line” anyways. I mirror the same back at them… Oh yeah, profits uh huh, shareholders, yeah, totally.

They know I don’t care about any of that, but if you’re not willing to at least try to pretend, then it demonstrates that you lack the diplomatic skill to hear, understand, and feedback the horseshit that the company will peddle, and you’ll be able to survive all the HR, managerial, team building nonsense they’re going to throw at you while you’re there.

They know you don’t care and just want the paycheque, because that’s what they want too. Nobody needs to say it.

Skipped or failed… Either or.

Good point.

… Compared to what?

If you compare to MacOS, then yeah, maybe.

I disagree.

1. You already have a government space agency. Maybe give them more funding so they don’t have to rely on space-x to get their stuff into orbit?

2. There’s a national telecom network already in place. It at least has the potential to be faster and more reliable, if it isn’t already… At least compared to low earth orbit satellite coverage.

There’s no good reason to continue providing Elon or his companies with any government handouts. Pull that funding and give it to… I dunno, students who have more debt than homeowners with a mortgage… NASA… Literally anything that helps people?

Oh, I didn’t think you were disagreeing.

My entire point is that since task paralysis can be a symptom of an executive dysfunction, it is worth the time for OP to talk to their doctor about it.

I don’t think that the previous poster said, nor implied that OP definitely has an executive dysfunction because of this one symptom.

Neither of which I think you have refuted at any point, in any capacity. :)

I’m still not a doctor, but as a first-aid certified person, signs and symptoms can be extremely useful in helping someone. It gives you a starting point to try to figure out what’s happening.

Further investigation is always required.

Medical diagnosis is a science. Things need to be proven. You can’t just go on vibes or feelings or whatever.

Since OP describes some symptoms that can be associated with executive function disorders, doesn’t mean that they definitely have those conditions. Only a qualified doctor should be making that kind of conclusion.

Days in lieu, from working OT on salary… IMO, is required.

I don’t work for free; if you’re paying me to be present for specific hours, regardless if it’s salary or not, then I expect to work during those hours and not any other time.

If, as a salary employee, I’m paid for results and as long as I meet my deadlines (and deadlines are reasonable) I can work whenever, then yeah, I’ll probably put in unpaid OT sometimes. I’ll tell you something though… With my level of experience, it would be unusual for anything to take so long that it requires that I work more than what is typical.

As someone who works for a living: praise is nice, but pay is required.

… Fuck you, pay me.

Yeah. Needing to install using an MS account is a massively consumer hostile practice.

I see it as Microsoft saying: “this is what’s best for you, you’ll do things this way” and giving you absolutely no way to bypass it (unless you’re like me or you… And know the tricks to do so).

“Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils” …

Sure thing boss. Can I also spit shine your shoes while I’m down on my knees taking your orders?

Oh… Uhhh… Hyperactivity in the name, isn’t behavioral hyperactivity. That can certainly be a symptom but the naming comes from hyperactivity in specific brain functions, as in, your brain works too much on things inappropriately.

While that can manifest as hyperactive behaviors, it doesn’t always.

… Which is probably why they qualified their statement with “might”.

OP might have an executive dysfunction.

I am not a doctor, but I agree that the possibility that OP has an executive dysfunction is nontrivial. Depending on where you live, finding out might be free. Just saying.

I will point out that’s not what the OP is about.

It’s literally complaining for the sake of complaining.

Making you pretend to like it is HR’s kink.

Researching the company used to be a thing you did when selecting a career/lifetime position.

… Since that doesn’t happen anymore, I couldn’t give any less of a shit about what your company is all about. I can do thing, you want to pay me to do thing. It’s as simple as that. All the rest of this crap, I just don’t have the time, effort or shits to give.

Same. There’s so much here that’s just excellent.

If I’m working late on something, I expect to be paid for that time and the company can provide a meal.

You’re not paying me? I’ll see you later then.
