What was "The Incident" at work that caused an exodus in the work force?

Probably the impetus for the mass exodus at my old job was the “We’ll Miss You” Zoom call we had for a beloved senior developer. The company had recently added a new manager role that hadnt existed before and things were fine. The new guy started micromanaging like crazy. The SD who was leaving basically went off during the call about how the company didn’t need NG’s role and how it was burning people out.

I stuck around for another year-ish, and NG managed to make a group of about 20 developers dwindle to 5-ish. Saw the writing on the wall after getting shafted, changed jobs and am now making double that salary along with far less stress.

Been watching anime for about a year now. I guess I like it

That is literally impossible to have seen that in only a year.

24,312 episodes means 66.608 episodes a day. At 23/min an episode this is 1,531.98min/day and comes out to 25.53hr/day which is literally impossible let alone physically.

Unless you were doing something like watching at 4-8x but even then it would not leave much time for sleep, work and other life-related matters.

What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

More of a gift I got for Christmas than something I bought, but a rechargeable wand vacuum. Thought it was really stupid, but the dang thing is useful. I've used it for anything ranging from sucking up hair in the bathroom to getting the baseboards around the house so I don't have to get a duster to do it that way. Have even taken it out to the car to remove a lot of the dirt and debris that gets into the driver-side footwell.

Was so versatile, I persuaded my folks to get one as well. They now love it too.

Is there any plans to make an animesuggest community?

Sorry that I’ve had /r/animesuggest closed. With Reddit’s mess, I’m just done.

Yes, I am the same user. Feel free to send a modmail on Reddit and I’ll confirm it.


As for making a community, I’d say to make a separate one. AnimeSuggest got swamped with requests, with a lot of them being repetitive in nature. A good chunk of those were due to new people, both to Reddit and/or Anime but still.

When/if Lemmy gets something akin to AutoModerator, I can provide the numerous rules and filters that were in place to keep it running.
