I'm still seething mad at the person who threw me under the bus at work
a couple of months ago.  Somehow that incident ended up snowballing
into an omnibus gripe list that got added to my HR file.

...which I've just discovered cancels my merit increase this year.

Does anyone know where I can rent a cybertruck?

Not one that accepts crypto.

And it was taxed at over 40%.   So basically nothing, as i expected.

Nope. Not a rumor just saw the official announcement.  Nothing for us serfs but a one time small bonus check this month. A check that will mostly be eaten by taxes anyway ( and only this month ). No baseline increase, not even to offset cost of living.  However, the uppers, their salary nearly doubled. 

 

And they wonder why morale here is poor.

Taxed or withheld? I could be remembering wrong, but I thought bonuses were withheld at a flat rate (40% sounds higher than i remember), but ultimately when you fill out your 1040 it just goes toward your AGI.

I guess technically withheld until its 'official', with the rest of my salary.  But i never get a refund, i just break even, so same net result.

You don't want a refund. Tax refund means you were giving the government a 0% interest loan.

You're right, of course, but gosh it sure is nice to have some money dumped in your lap in the spring.

I usually use the money to do a fun project or something. This year it's going to go straight into paying bills. :(

I actually aim to owe. I frequently owe anywhere between 500 to 1500. The penalty is so impotent, it's worth it.

Your new password must meet the following criteria:

 

  • At least 12 characters.
  • Must include upper, lower, numeric and special characters.
  • It must have at least 6 changes from previous password.
  • You can never repeat a password, ever.
  • Must be changed at least every 30 days.

I recently encountered a client like that. They are also not allowed to write down their password anywhere, nor use any sort of password manager. Corporate apparently has never heard of 2FA. So what do they do? Everyone takes out their personal phone and screenshots their password. Which then goes to the clown in the sky, of course.

Oh, that was on top of MFA.. ( i stopped calling it 2FA as around here you may see it 3 or 4 times trying to get in every morning, and some apps..... every.. single..time.... its insane )

Officially we are not supposed to use password managers, unless its the approved one, that the security team manages.

We have 2FA and 16 chars minimum. My passwords are complete English sentences, spaces and punctuation included. And it's incredibly annoying that I have to type it several times a day.

That is doable. For example: frodo-jason-spiderman

That has 3 characters but also more than 12.
