The Whining and Bitching Thread

[Blurry_Dreams]

I got laid off from the job yesterday. They fucked up and hired a bunch of new people during the slowest part of their work year, so all the new hires in the last hiring period were sent away.

Was sort of an emotional mess yesterday. I really liked the job, and just being let go so sudden, even just only being there for 3 weeks, tore me the fuck up. I was really excited about that job and spent a lot of time learning my station. This was something of a dream job in a way too. I felt awful, and I still feel kinda awful.

Today I'm gonna apply for more jobs, and hope to fuck I can get something soon. I wanna keep my hormone replacement therapy, so I need insurance for sure.

i'm totally serious here
it really sounds like you making a call to The Better Business Bureau could result in you getting a shit-ton of money

Or you could just go and shit in their letter box!

seriously thinking all the "laid off" people that only got to work "only 3 weeks" could easily get together file class-action lawsuit with @Terasophe getting a shit-ton on money in pocket

Its more like they let a bunch of people go. It was stated that anything could happen within a 90 day probation period.

Update on the job I got laid off from. They gutted like 50% of the workforce. What a fucking joke.

this^^ definitely a class-action-lawsuit
how the fucking hell are they going to get rid of an entire 50% of the workforce without being prepared for at least some kind of lawsuit
i swear you could prolly get at least a little money out of this if you tried

You know so little about life. The last thing a young, unemployed person going through HRT should do is get involved in a lawsuit.

I guess you arent aware of how much money homeless meth heads make. So much for how much you know about life.

What the fuck is up with the site lately? The search function doesn't work, there's no advanced search function at all.

 

[Slammed]

I haven't used the search function for ages but it's been spoken about as problematic for a long time. Pretty much all Xenforo sites I know of are problematic with searching and using Google works much better.

But I have noticed a real slowness with the site. Loading of pages is usually pretty good it's the calling of pages between clicking the link and where it starts loading. I also see the loading/thinking icons pop up a bit in the top right corner. Unlike where it used to be where images and embedded videos slowed pages down it seems to be a fetching error, but without seeing the server logs it's impossible to tell where the hold up is.

 

[CiG]

But the option to do an advanced search is literally no longer there. Has it been moved and I'm just too retarded to find it?

 

[Slammed]

You're just too re....oooh

Isn't this the 'advanced search' on this site (other sites vary with the information but I seem to remember this being usual for here)

[CiG]

Yeah that's it but where did you find it? It used to be near the search bar but for me it's no longer there.

 

[Slammed]

Oh ok, yeah I first went there too and saw nothing but wasn't sure if I remembered it being there.
I found it via the "Forums" link in the Nav bar under the UM banner (assuming you're on a desktop, I'm not sure about mobile viewing)
The second link under the Forums link is "search forums" that link should take you to the advanced page.

 

[CiG]

lol thanks!

For me it shows up when I click inside the search field.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that’s been the only way of getting the advanced search page for years afaik. the search function has only been fucked for a few months though

 

[Einherjar86]

When I click in the search field, I get a drop-down menu of recently searched terms--no advanced search option.

I wonder if it has something to do with cookies? Are my searches interfering with the site's functionality? I'm very illiterate when it comes to this, but I've also been having issues with it.

Same.

Are you both on the same sort of screens/devices?
Most websites these days display different things dependant on screen size
