pretty sure there is no one from !minnesota around these days, but if so, I am going to ride my first 200k on June 20. Anybody want to ride a section with me?
layoffs started this morning. only 30, it seems, but there was at least one typo (or omission) from the email, so hard to really know.
I only know of one. I can't say I am surprised at the choice (although I liked the individuals).
I'm safe, for now. They gave a very clear timeline and we are hours past the deadline.
So, two reasons for posting: 1. If you know anyone in !minnesota hiring, I can let my friend know. 2. if you think the tech industry is immune to the covid-19 situation, you are wrong.
I haven't been looking for jobs for probably a month. Nik leaving had me focused on looking for alternative #cycling partners. I have found some, though not any as consistent as Nik.
In any case, the entirety of the UK is on vacation again which means I have to pick up tons of their cases, which has me thinking about looking again.
The only thing that gives me any hesitation is that we have someone in training.
If your company offers remote work (or is based in downtownish #Minneapolis !minnesota), get at me. Note: if your office does not have a Minneapolis address, there's zero chance you are downtownish.
I think I may have gotten away with telling a customer to fuck off, but in a !minnesota way. It may help that the customer and my manager (UK) are both not in or from Minnesota.
If anybody in !minnesota wants to go !cycling this weekend, we've got four checkpoints. One in the northloop, one at Minnehaha Dog Park, one at the top of the hill at Fort Snelling, and one in Eagan under an overpass on some "minimally maintained roads".
For anyone in the #Minneapolis !Minnesota area tomorrow (May 17), I've got two tickets with your name on it for the Minneapolis City SC match. Free parking. Game at 7pm.
A friend and I are !cycling to St. Cloud from Minneapolis and back some time during the Tour de France (~140 miles). We both work in IT, so we are calling it the Tour de Cloud.
Sounds like an offer could go out as early as next week, so get stuff in ASAP if interested.
I usually do this #jobpost in the morning...it's noon, so maybe slightly different.
