In the morning I checked my "pager duty" - no problem there.
Looked into my "poweramp-lib" project, found why t.f. it was not building (some credentials were not in the right place... that's what I thought).
Then I saw a PR from Jeremy, he created a 358-file PR, for the build system, with the only purpose of specifying an env var to tell whether we are building stuff locally or in Jenkins. (You can always just call
Anyway, whatever. I did not have a chance to finish my comment to those 358 files in the PR, because there was a 1-1 with Jacob. I expected it to be an hour later, but whatever.
There was Jacob and there was his boss Mike. They told me they have to lay me off or something like that, because of my social skills. They were absolutely happy with my technical capabilities, but socially I'm not a fit. I thanked them politely.
Went ahead and wrote a goodbye on slack, telling them where to find me. One of the guys immediately send a connection request on linkedin (and we connected).
For me, it was a pretty nice company. Who exactly made sure that I don't work with them, I don't know, what is Chris? Was it Karen? I don't believe it's Karen, we never argued about anything. But who else, was Chris enough?
Oh, whatever. I immediately slapped together my resume, and wrote to my recruiter Sean. My salary demands are pretty low now, I rather care about the atmosphere and the medical insurance. Sean immediately called me; I told him I can start December 1st; also assured him that I have no plans to move permanently to France. Just visit it regularly.
So, amazingly, I have a whole month for myself; we can go for long hikes and for long bike rides, travel somewhere.
Anyway, they did not send me any email yet regarding this. I'll have to at least try to pull out of them some compensation for the vacations that I never took (I know it's a stupid thing to do, I don't recommend anybody to save their vacation days these days.)
