Not much of a friend if s/he did that. I would consider being honest with your employer about it. Who knows what said friend would do once s/he is in the company.

I can't win.
You tried. That's all anyone can ask of you. Think of it as crossing one off the list and move on.

I wouldn't take that. If he's willing to do that without your consent, what if he dragged your name through the mud when he does something worse. I'd confront him and tell him at the very least that it was not cool. In the corporate world, you gotta protect your reputation.

i have a no friend or associates in the work place policy. I'd ex that friend and straight up tell the hiring manager that he did not consult with you regarding the reference, that's irresponsible and disrespectful. also i'd tell the hiring manager not to hire the person and never talk about it again.

i don't like anyone knowing about my business at work. if im sick or if i perform poorly at work, or personal issues arrise it's between myself and the employer. last thing i want is some friend or mutual friend discussing it within my circle.

Woah, what a coincidence.......

Except I gave my friend the OK to apply at my company with my referral and I also mentioned what his salary could be, and he seemed pretty set on getting in.

I offered him another potential job, but he declined it due to the salary being $?K lower, but I did tell him that it would have given him the experience to "catch up."

Fast forward, HR+co tells me they would have trashed his resume if it wasn't for my referral lululul. I can't reveal more but yeahBabyRage

Anyone familiar with getting a VPN while in China?

DragonChi 02-12-2018 03:41 PM
China has banned VPNs and they do not work in the country.

The best way to get uncensored internet access in the country is to setup your own proxy before you leave.

Well, the best way that I know of.

This move itself already tells me to NEVER EVER want to work with that person or be close friends with.

I never ever name drop to get a discount; because you're my friend I'm happy to pay FULL price to support you.

I find it pretty annoying when some people EXPECT you to give them a discount bc you know each other are "friends". Or how some people go like "oh, let's go to xyz since abc works there, we can get a discount!"

If you want to give me a discount, I'll buy ya lunch at one point or another. But I'd never expect it.

Pretty off topic, but if you guys have a few minutes to spare please take the time to fill out a survey that I've made for product testing/market research.

Much appreciated :)

2018 Valentine's achievement unlocked. Called in sick today. Got some shit done in the morning. Then, I went to get flowers for my wife, and swooped in when there wasn't a line up at the store. I took her to Fort Langley and had lunch at Wendel's, and then the Little White house and bakery for dessert. Wife is happy. I'm glad that it didn't take much effort, and avoided the clusterfuck with everyone else competing for the same resources :)

I can't wait to get the hell out of here for vacation. 3 weeks to go.

This shithole city and its depressing weather. Need to get away to re-energize my mind and body.

CorneringArtist 02-23-2018 07:16 PM
Two weeks to a reset vacation. Maybe it will help rethink a few things.

But what's the point of social media if it isn't even social anymore? It's not like it's been active in three years.

Lol Girl was one of the best trolls. When RS was fun and VLS was always lit....... LOL

ilovebacon 02-24-2018 04:03 PM
Its a good idea to start trolling again and make it lit again.

Current: Has townhouse but soon-to-be detached home, a then new (2012) GTi and a then new (2017) Fusion Sport. Has 2 young kids and wife recently lost her job but he can still support all four of them till she gets a new job. He recently turned down multiple offers for a $100k+ a year job promotion, deciding he will take it when his kids are older and the offer comes around again.

Me: Graduated with B average from grade 12 Graduated twice from post secondary (2 diplomas) while working at least 30 hours a week at a grocery store.

Present: Rents an apartment and drives a 20 year old car. Makes livable wage but savings are minimal by end of month.

Oh life, you taught me so well!

Sometimes when I have nice dreams while asleep, I like to think they are life's way of apologizing to me.

Sounds like you are fresh out of school. You still have the mentality that school (high school achievements even) matters in real life. You have a long way ahead. The sooner you exit the mentality that getting great grades in high school matter the faster you will spot what really matter in terms of moving up in life.
