I heard DSP has a message for No Dong


What goes the probability that his employer told him to take a sabatical otherwise they will fire his ass for spending too much time trying to take down a little rinky dink forum whose main topic is fruits?

That or he take a sabatical to plan something not so good. Doubtful then he might pull a Randy Stair or Audrey Hale but who knows?

Edit - he also mentions "Startup life is incredibly hectic and fulfilling"
How long is Honeycomb going to claim they are a startup?

The earliest archive I could find is from June 2016 (there is one from 2011 but seems unrelated)
The site looks like crap:

5 months later, Nov 2016, the site looks much more professional:
1689600535519.png

So they exist 7 years and they are still a startup?

Edit 2 - notice that back in 2016 they didn't talk about Observability yet but first it was POWERFUL, INTERACTIVE ANALYTICS WITH RICHER DATA
and then DEBUG COMPLEX SYSTEMS

I think he is using misleading terminology.
Nobody offers "unlimited" PTO....that's just stupid.
What the majority of companies, especially ones that aren't service industry or retail, like real and pseudo tech companies, are moving to what is called "Open Time Off".
Originally, salaried employees would receive x number of weeks of Paid Time Off based on months/years of employment.
The problem with that is, on the books, that was considered time(money) owed to an employee and if they didn't take all the PTO allotted to them by the end of the year, it really fucked with the company's financials. Many companies tried to implement a "use it or lose it" policy, but that wouldn't always be enforceable depending on the state or country the employee was in.
So within the past 10 years, most companies have moved to an Open Time Off policy. Nobody has a "bank" of hours they draw from; if you need a day off, take a day off...if you need a week off, take a week off...if you need a month off, take a month off. But don't think we aren't watching you.
If you've been here for 2 months and now want to take a month off, don't be surprised that you don't get your raise or bonus when you thought you would.
If you've been here 5 years and want to take 6 months off for no reason, don't be surprise if there is someone else doing you job when you get back and you've been reassigned to the mail room. It's all very much an honor-system type of thing and the company has the freedom to make a "judgement call" should they feel you are abusing OTO.
I'm 99% sure that is what he is referring to.

Its is.

Its the classic thing where the hardest working tend to take the least amount of time off with the highest salary making banking PTO an absolute nightmare. So going to a "unlimited" option just means the company forces employee to take the incentive (instead of "well, might as well or I'll loose it") knowing that the hardest working will take wayyyyyyyyyy less PTO days now.

I work for unlimited PTO company. They switched to it a couple years ago. Your time off does not differentiate between sick and vacation. I think they did this not just because of being trendy, but because of various mergers. You would have different people at the same level might have wildy different grandfathered PTO based off where they may have come from.

Approving the time off is basically at the discretion of your manager. Yeah the worse preforming people tend to take much more time off then the high preforming people. I think Elliott is in the low performing group ( but that might just bee all of honeycomb).

He has said before that his life paralleled that TV show made by the Matrix Troon brothers, perhaps he is so devoid of original thought he bases everything he does on things he sees on TV?

His behavior in this regard reminds me of Don Draper in Mad Men. Just deciding to fuck off to get up to personal things related to his shady past, while receiving full salary, then showing up like nothing happened.

I wonder if there are any Directors or board members who are fighting tooth and nail to get Fong Jones removed, but he has cronies who he has massive dirt on whom can veto it and won't allow it?

Elliot spends so much time trying to fuck with the site that I genuinely wonder what he actually does for his employer.
Like yeah, adding a troon for affirmative action points is great, but you gotta make them do something.

And considering this layabout is about to take an entire month off, I'm wondering if he's throwing in the towel for the month or if he's about to attempt some more stupid shit for a month straight. Either way I look forward to it.
If you're going to attack, Elliot, hit us with everything you've got, champ. Pull out all the stops, take the kid gloves off and really fuck us up. Feel free to expend all your energy from your vacation to try and take us down. We're getting a month of peace or you're wasting your vacation. We win Either way.

this same exact thing happened when gay rights was the big thing. there were plenty of people who happened to be gay but lived very normal lives. but then you had the gays who would just run around screaming about how gay they were non stop like their entire personality was that they were gay. same shits happening with troons.
Click to expand...
Agreed. There were gays and lesbians who knew how to be good workers and people you might actually want to know or interact with because they brought something to the table and didn't make a whole production out of who they were sexually attracted to. Unfortunately, the minority who runs around making their attraction and identity all that's noteworthy about themselves has become more vocal, occupies more positions of power, and knows how to bully people into intimidated submission when it comes to pronouns and other ideology.

he only way this type of thing stops is if the good ones or whatever you wanna call them stand up for themselves and stop letting the psychos speak for them and if they refuse to speak up simply because they are afraid of their community or whatever then they are part of the problem as well.

Sadly, I think this is optimistic as the aforementioned vocal minority has become enough of a voice for their community and they have sufficient connections to cancel anyone with a dissenting opinion or belief. there are plenty of people both within and outside the community who dislike what's going on but don't or won't speak up because the fear of being cancelled over it is a legitimate threat and concern for them.

LFJ is probably an extreme example in that they are in the tech field and know who to contact and what to say to people to act in their favor out of fear of the repercussions in refusing to do so.

"and wrote software at other now-defunct startups."

I'd love to know if those start-ups went belly up for reasons other than logistical. (edit: ninja'd by @Billy Bob Dick )

People such as this one and LFJ work within the same hugbox so they go from company to company with the same cronies. Makes it easier for them to do whatever they want without outsiders telling them what to do (mainly their jobs).
