04:23 <sewn> hi

13:49 <sad_plan> hi

14:00 <sewn> hi sd

14:00 <sewn> sad

14:00 <sewn> sad _pl

14:00 <sewn> sad_plan:

14:07 <sad_plan> hi sewn

23:28 <midfavila> hey guys

23:28 <midfavila> looking to dump my PC and similar

23:28 <midfavila> any of you want a new workstation?

23:29 <midfavila> same machine i've used for a few years now, just need to get some cash and offload some larger items so i can move

23:29 <midfavila> Saskatchewan is much more affordable than New Brunswick and I'm tired of the place I work at fucking me over so I'm making like a tree and getting the fuck out asap

23:36 <midfavila> HR placed me on admin leave without telling me, my boss, or my boss' boss, and nobody knows why. i legitimately can't fathom why myself, other than over unionbusting

23:36 <midfavila> and i'm just

23:36 <midfavila> blaaaah

23:39 <riteo> oof

23:41 <riteo> I've never had a job but I think you did the right thing

23:41 <midfavila> avoid having a job as long as you can

23:41 <midfavila> 99% of them are bullshit

23:42 <midfavila> >no

23:42 <midfavila> >hey can we have enough money to eat and pay rent and maybe wash our clothes?

23:42 <midfavila> >hey so we're exercising our right to organize collectively to pressure you to pay us enough to live

23:42 <midfavila> >we're putting you on admin leave and you're not allowed on company property or to talk to anyone at the company other than this specific HR person

23:43 <riteo> bruh that should be illegal :(

23:43 <midfavila> it is

23:43 <midfavila> they're still doing it

23:43 <riteo> hopefully stuff's better over here in italy

23:45 <riteo> still a long way to go (I still gotta start university) so I can not worry about this shit too much for now hopefully

23:46 <midfavila> don't bother with university unless you're interested in the material for its own sake

23:46 <midfavila> unless italy's labor market in tech is significantly different than NA, nobody will care

23:46 <riteo> oh yeah I heard that tech jobs are actually kinda shitty here

23:47 <riteo> but I am indeed interested as my "industrial and technical" high school explained stuff like shit and I came there exactly to know about this stuff

23:49 <riteo> From what I can tell, either a sysadmin or an OSS developer (think of Godot or sourcehut) would be pretty nice things, but I've not investigated that much and I'll still have to see what the job market actually offers

23:49 <riteo> as long as it's not webdev it should be doable lmao

23:50 <riteo> out of curiosity, what are you doing as a job rn? (or did, nw)

23:50 <midfavila> i'm stuck as a cashier at a gas station

23:50 <midfavila> because there's no work in my city

23:54 <riteo> I'm sure you'll find a more rewarding job once you move, hoping for the best <3
