Uganda's high court upholds most of the nation's anti gay laws, citing SCOTUS' decision in Dobbs (that overturned Roe v. Wade) to justify the law's basis on history and tradition.

In response to the lawsuit it is under for aiding childhood gambling, Roblox tries to justify that it's just fine for children to be able to make money, that it's not exploitation but "a gift"

My boss so far is overruling me on removing everyone having FULL LOCAL ADMIN RIGHTS

So if that stays in place, I’m turning everything I can back on. I definitely insist.

This one goes places and is really good lol.

I like how you're just brushing off the fact that Iran has been firing rockets into Israel on a daily basis via Hezbollah for months, now, displacing thousands of people.

But somehow bombing a building full of literal terrorists is an escalation? lmao

Last week I shared about my performance review being conducted by someone who was not my manager (a designer who has only been with the company a couple of years, I’ve been here over 7 yrs), who didn’t know I had accepted a promotion and brought me a 3% merit increase.

As an aside: My new boss shared with me that he got my new direct report a 4% raise.

So I pushed back to both my reviewer and my new boss - the reviewer agreed with me and did what he could (not much), in addition i pushed back to my new manager, who also didn’t get much done. So I’m at 3%. I also reached out to the SVP who came to me with the promotion and asked for advice “I agree you need to fight for your salary!”

So everyone I’ve approached has agreed - 3% is bull.

Also on the day of the announcement of my promotion - which wasn’t shared company wide like most promotion announcements - one of my major stakeholders - a SVP - panicked and reached out to my skiplevel worried I’d no longer be serving them. “Don’t worry he will still be owning those tasks as well”.

Well that stakeholders entire department won an achievement award for performance today. I wasn’t mentioned there either.

My new boss came back to me yesterday and said “it’s locked in but I’m confident we can do something about it this year”.

So even though our COO, and SVP of enterprise marketing picked ME for this managerial role, and another SVP who is a major stakeholder freaked out when my promotion was announced, I have to prove myself to my new skip level.

Quitting Facebook, hitting the gym, sprucing up my portfolio, resume, LinkedIn and looking for a new Graphic Design Lead job. It was great while it lasted.

Those are $10 in Canada for some hilarious reason. Nobody is buying that shit.
