An employee resigned yesterday.

Voluntarily.

Which I found extremely aggressive.

He gave two weeks’ notice.

I gave him a calendar invite.

“Exit Interview — 15 Minutes.”

He arrived carrying coffee.

Confident.

Too confident.

I asked why he was leaving.

“Better opportunity.”

I nodded.

“Better how?”

More money.

“Define more.”

$20,000.

I wrote:

“Motivated by financial gain.”

Then I asked what the new company offered that we didn’t.

Remote work.

Higher salary.

Four weeks vacation.

Annual bonuses.

He just kept confessing.

Eventually I stopped him.

“This isn’t looking great for you.”

He reminded me that he was already quitting.

Exactly the kind of defeatist attitude we had been documenting.

So I presented our counteroffer.

Same salary.

Same job.

But we would let him pick one snack for the break room.

He declined.

Unbelievable.

So we moved to offboarding.

Laptop.

Badge.

Keys.

Parking pass.

Company mug.

He said he bought the mug himself.

Don't care.

Then I asked him to return any intellectual property developed during his employment.

He asked what that meant.

I pointed at his head.

Legal stopped the meeting shortly after that.

His last day is Friday.

We’re still negotiating custody of several memories.

Usmakelig opptreden av sivilpolitiet på Felt O i dag. Oppsøker fire av våre 16-åringer i pausen, og tar personalia på dem. Han ene i sivil begrunner det med «det er ikke alle dere står med som er helt friske.» Forventer at Viking tar grep, slik behandler man ikke ungdommen.

Om du ser dette Robertsen: Du er ein ekkel og stygg tosk!Du burde ikkje ha mobil. La folk vere i fred.

I married a wonderful woman who was sadly hounded out of the tech industry by all the micro- (and macro-) aggressions women in this field suffer. Inclusivity is a very personal issue for me!

My dudes: go to bat for your female coworkers. You have no idea the shit they endure.

Både lærer og foreldre ønsker at skolene skal stenge pga smittefrykt. Mens de som bestemmer sitter på hjemmekontor og sier at det er ingen fare…

Early in career coders: You know how old-heads can magically solve a problem in 5 minutes? It’s amazing. What they don’t mention is that’s because the magic of being senior is YEARS of debugging and HOURS of googling and reading and walking. They’ve seen it before. You will too!
