> In office for first time in awhile
> Run into group of 4 people I don’t recognize in far cubicle corning laughing in hushed voices eating of an impressive spread of food
> See me and immediately look at each other with panicked expressions
> Confused, I put my hands up to indicate I come in peace
> They relax a little and say they thought I was from HR since they didn’t recognize me
> Ask why HR seeing them would be such a big deal
> They say their potluck is not “sanctioned”
> …?
So apparently HR just could resist ruining one of the only good things about coming into the office and one of the coolest things about the company’s culture. At least once a month there would be a giant potluck where everyone would bring some home cooked dish and share it. I can’t tell you how amazing these are in Canada, 50+ plates of authentic food from all over the world.
Unfortunately HR didn’t agree as 1. They didn’t cook so felt bad taking food. 2. Nobody asked them permission to put on these events they just happened organically. 3. Some people were bringing in food that they felt was culturally inappropriate (ie. caucasian guy bringing in homemade sushi).
HR recently banned all “unsanctioned” potlucks and all future potlucks needed to be approved through them with the following stipulations. 1. You could participate without bringing something by donating to HR $10 2. If you brought something you still had to give HR $10. 3. Things you brought in had to be approved by HR
Naturally the first and only potluck under these rules only 4 people brought something in as many couldn’t get their dishes approved because HR didn’t like what they were planning to bring (started out as being because culture and turned into HR just being picky), most just brought $10 so there wasn’t enough food to go around and so after HR took a giant group photo to post on the company’s social media accounts to show off how good the company’s culture is most everyone had to go out for lunch. HR sent out an email later that day exclaiming what a huge success for charity and the company brand the potluck was and they can’t wait for the next one. (I have the HR communications email marked as spam so I never saw the email). Nobody ever organized a sanctioned potluck after that.
However people still missed cooking and sharing their favourite recipes with one another so potlucks still occur but they are now very small, secret, invite-only, hush-hush affairs.

A guy who had the same nationality as the enterprise we were working for was promoted from JUNIOR js developer to UX/UI coordinator for the entire department just because he was 2 year older than me (26 vs 28). Literally he was a junior dev and went to that.
One day he was accusing me of writing a piece of code which led prod to downtime. I was in the office, he was in another country with our manager and technical director next to him and we were talking over internal conference system. I shown git history + his name + his code and he was saying ‘that’s not true!!!’.
I couldn’t resist and I began to yell something like ‘You fucking fuck piece of shit cocksucker...’ for 5 minutes. Since that day i was the god on my project for UI/UX side.
Even now he is in the same place on the same position...
PS: more stories to come with this guy6 -
I’m doing my last two days at my current job. (I resigned to go work full-time on a startup project.)
While doing some last commits, I couldn’t resist to not put an easter egg in my current running project (an e-commerce web application)... I’m hoping to be able to trigger it in the future when it’s being used by a dozen of our clients.. 🌝 Hopefully, my follow-up dev will get the joke and won’t remove these lines of code.. -

After brute forced access to her hardware I spotted huge memory leak spreading on my key logger I just installed. She couldn’t resist right after my data reached her database so I inserted it once more to duplicate her primary key, she instantly locked my transaction and screamed so loud that all neighborhood was broadcasted with a message that exception is being raised. Right after she grabbed back of my stick just to push my exploit harder to it’s limits and make sure all stack trace is being logged into her security kernel log.
Fortunately my spyware was obfuscated and my metadata was hidden so despite she wanted to copy my code into her newly established kernel and clone it into new deadly weapon all my data went into temporary file I could flush right after my stick was unloaded.
Right after deeply scanning her localhost I removed my stick from her desktop and left the building, she was left alone again, loudly complaining about her security hole being exploited.
My work was done and I was preparing to break into another corporate security system.

HIRE A RELIABLE AND PROFESSIONAL HACKER FOR RECOVERY CONTACT SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL
I was desperate to make my money work for me. When I came across an advertisement on TikTok promoting a crypto investment opportunity, it seemed like exactly what I had been searching for. The ad promised high returns, and the way it was presented made it hard to resist. I was directed to a sleek website for a platform called Crypto Zone that laid out all the details. The platform seemed professional, and they had a Telegram channel full of testimonials from investors who claimed they had earned significant profits. It felt reassuring, like I had found the perfect way to grow my wealth.I didn’t take long to make my decision. I invested a substantial amount 71,000 euros. I thought I was making a smart choice, but in hindsight, I see how quickly I was swept up in the excitement and promises of quick returns. The platform seemed to be everything I wanted. But soon after, things started to unravel. Crypto Zone, once so reliable, became harder to access. The smooth interface I had initially found so appealing now had error messages, and the communication from the supposed support team grew less frequent and less professional. At first, I dismissed it, thinking it was just a temporary glitch, but the more I tried to contact them, the more I realized something was off. Red flags began to appear, but by then, I had already invested too much. My hopes of seeing large returns started to feel more like a distant dream.I spent countless hours trying to get my money back. The more I searched for answers, the more confused I became. The more I dug, the more I realized that I had likely fallen victim to a scam. I was devastated. It wasn’t just the financial loss that hit hard; it was the feeling of betrayal. I had trusted this platform with my savings, and now I was left with nothing. I felt completely powerless, and it seemed like there was no way out. I had lost everything, and I couldn’t see a path to recovery.Then, just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I came across SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL. At first, I was skeptical. How could anyone possibly help me recover such a large amount of money? But after reading several success stories on their website, I decided to give them a chance. I reached out, and within moments, I felt a glimmer of hope. They took immediate action, and within weeks, I had my 71,000 euros back. I was in disbelief. It felt too good to be true, but it wasn’t. It was real, and I couldn’t have been more grateful.

HOW TO RECOVER LOST OR STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY; THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BITCOIN RECOVERY HIRE CYBER CONSTABLE INTELLIGENCE
The appeal of making substantial returns from cryptocurrency investments was undeniable. After hearing countless stories of people making huge profits, I couldn’t resist diving into the market.

For several months, I watched my investment grow, feeling confident I had made the right choice. But when I requested a withdrawal, things quickly went downhill. The company suddenly demanded I pay extra fees to access my funds. At first, I thought it was just a misunderstanding, but as weeks passed with no resolution, I realized something was terribly wrong. The company stopped responding to my inquiries, and I was left with no idea how to proceed. My funds were stuck, and the more I tried to resolve the issue, the harder it became to get in touch with anyone who could help.

Rapid Digital Recovery was a lifesaver when a stock trader from Denver, Colorado, found myself ensnared in a crypto scam. As someone who has spent years carefully navigating the stock market, I pride myself on being cautious with my investments. But when I came across a crypto platform promising extraordinary returns, I couldn’t resist the temptation to dive in. I invested $125,000, enticed by their professional appearance and glowing reviews. Everything seemed legitimate—until it didn’t. Within weeks of making the investment, I noticed that I could no longer access my funds. Customer support became evasive, and the platform’s response time grew longer and less helpful. It quickly dawned on me that I had been scammed, and my hard-earned money was likely gone for good. The realization was both frustrating and overwhelming. As a stock trader, I was used to analyzing risks and protecting my investments, but this was an entirely different animal. I felt completely powerless. In my desperation, I reached out to a fellow trader in Denver who had faced a similar situation.
