saas are really owning themselves by pulling crap like this.
I work in education sector, over the last year or so multiple saas providers have pulled this, we've inevitably gone in house, self hosted, open source. Saved tonnes of money and have bought skills back in house.
Spend about 20% of my salary on (varies depending on month)
- Eating out
- Video games
- PC Parts
- Joint account with partner
Impact of life; is that I'm not miserable. (I was obsessive about not spending early on in my career and got really bad depression, i.e. working really hard, not allowing myself to enjoy the fruits of my labor)
Things I'd like todo if I had more money are:
- Travel to see family abroad
- Tidy up the nitpicky things in my house that bother me
- A car with more doors (3 door at the moment)
My philosophy is to have enough saved for a rainy day, then excess goes to pension / investments and then provide myself with a small amount of ££ for myself (And research the hell out of the thing I'm buying)
Pretty much correct, I received a fake razer mouse that I ordered last month.
Luckily it was a direct replacement for the same one I purchased > 3 years ago so could compare.
Amazon provided no way to report the counterfeit and when talking to their support just wanted me to return it as fault. No doubt this will go back into the supply chain and someone unbeknownst to counterfeits will receive it.
> We don’t do it in my current job and it means; weeks or months of someone being on the same task.
While I agree that people can be irresponsible, I'd say this reveals more about the manager than the IC. The manager is responsible for tracking everyone's workload and with a project management software, you can get a quick overview without daily status update. Some tasks can take days of research and it gets annoying quickly to recapitulate what you've been doing, especially if you've done so already elsewhere. And some days, you're less productive than usual, but that may be the calm period needed to get a solution.
