  • I was in charge with creating, designing, configuring, and running an e-commerce site on Shopify as well as responding to customer emails and orders. This was for a start-up. First orders would get a promo code for a 15% discount on a next purchase.

    CEO tells me we need to get rid of stock fast as possible, so make a storewide discount on certain models. I go and do that.

    We receive a bulk order of 50 of the discounted units while also using the 15% off promo code we sent out to early purchasers. Realized I should have put in a rule that doesn’t allow discounts to stack…

    CEO and other members all unanimously voted to get rid of me a couple of hours later.











  • This has kept me from reaching out to all of my old friends. They ended up hanging out amongst themselves just like old times but I figured if they wanted me there with them too they’d invite me. Since they haven’t, they’re probably fine with me not being there/dont want me there. Oh well. Still makes me sad about missed interactions but I guess it is what it is.

    I used to be toxic (maybe I still am?) so this is my punishment for it.

    It’s nice to see people have hope. Mine was beaten out of me years ago. I haven’t really ever been surrounded by peer groups who thought similar to me politically so this all just seems beyond impossible.

    I’m in rural Canada and you’d think we were the 51st state of the US. “F Joe Biden” flags on lots of houses and trucks driving around with two big blue Trump/Vance flags in the bed. These people are fired up. They’re not even American.
