Is that Robin Williams?

I'm guessing the reason to create an entire store was so they didn't have to pay Google a higher percentage?

I have heard several stories like this from my boss who worked at a previous place where he was asked to remove an entire team like you did. He says he will never forget it and is soul crushing. He tried his hardest to cut budgets and even found a few things were he was able to save the money and brought this to upper management where they had to break it to him that it didn't matter what was saved, that wasn't the point... people are just names on paper to them and if they decide this is what they want there is pretty much no stopping them. He then said he was there long enough after that where they realized it was an awful mistake and the work you get in return is not nearly as good as the original team you had so they had to hire new people back. It's a never ending cycle these days.

I also work in IT Healthcare! It's a brutal industry huh! Thankfully I have been with the same place for 19 years now, but it have witnessed it all. When I started we grew exponentially throwing money at everything, then the owner sold and I got to witness the "no changes expected" followed by everything changing. Then saw partners separate from us completely which was crazy work, and then the boom of covid followed by almost going belly up with massive layoffs for the past 2 years and consolidation of everything basically back to when I started in 2006!

I wanna know if he was allowed to say 1 of each would you go full left, full right, or 1 from each side. I would also imagine the arm side would absolutely have to be the non dominant one.

I agree with the statement in the article that I think they are making a mistake. I feel like the majority of people probably feel the same way as well. There's no way I am buying this for $50+, but if the upgrade was open to me for $10? I actually would have considered it.

I honestly don't have too much to back up, so I run one full backup job every Sunday for different directories I care about. They run a check on the directory and only back up any changes or new files. I don't have the space to backup everything, so I only take the smaller stuff and most important. The backup software also allows live monitoring if I enable it, so some of my jobs I have that turned on since I didn't see any reason not to. I reuse the NAS drives that report errors that I replace with new ones to save on money. So far, so good.

Backup software is Bvckup2, and reddit was a huge fan of it years ago, so I gave it a try. It was super cheap for a lifetime license at the time, and it's super lightweight. Sorry, there is no Linux version.

Honestly, I'm starting to agree with this as well. I feel like i saw this same article maybe a month ago and the same comments as this, but at that time I think it was only half of the drop it's at now. Keep it going!

Not everyone has to strive to be the best to be happy?

So this is still happening? Guess nobody will stop it, huh?

Nah, I think it's just because he can't afford daycare. With his full-time job, he has no choice but to bring the kid to work. It's very nice that his employer is very understanding of his situation, most places wouldn't allow this! He's super lucky.

My last pair was GE. They both started failing around 4 years but we dealt with the issues for another year until the dryer just stopped moving. I feel like 5 years is our average so if I get that I'll be ok I guess. I think it's because my wife is crazy when it comes to clothes and have 2 kids so there's literally a load to 2 loads every day, and it gets a lot of use compared to others. I remember when it was just myself I did 2 loads a week!

You just made me realize i haven't heard them in forever, and I see now it's because he died a while back... they were a solid band, and I even got to see them at Bonnaroo like 15 years ago, which was a solid set.
