I'll be spending a few months in California to get my bearings again, then moving in with my gf in Massachusetts

I just saw CA doesn't require name change filings to go in a newspaper anymore if it's for gender confirmation! That's awesome.

Nice! Have you been in a long distance relationship with her then?

And announcing one's name change in a newspaper is a thing in some states? Don't they know barely anyone reads newspapers anymore? >_>

yeah we've been friends but she moved back to the states in the spring

the newspaper thing was pretty universal as recently as 2018 or so as far as I know. Finally some states are making exceptions when publishing the name change is really embarrassing (or can endanger people).

And it was nearly impossible to get my name changed in Japan. I tried. Many times. I got the next best thing, but I'm not sure how much my ID with is gonna help in america lol

all the respect in the world to people who can keep their name. Even if my name was like, Sam or something, I just couldn't do it. Even hearing my deadname when it's used as a verb makes my skin crawl. For a long time used to do it as well, and as you can imagine you hear that 10000 times a day in a school. That faded over time.

this happens to most foreigners that have middle names and it's such a pain in the ass! it doesn't matter how much you tell them "I don't use my middle name" they're just like "do you write it on your annual taxes?" well, yes "then it goes on your account"

meanwhile the 1040 only requires a middle INITIAL anyway!

Oh, you met in Japan? That's so nice.

All in all, how do you like your experience there? A friend of mine also moved to Japan like 3 months ago for a teaching job.

definitely was the right thing for me. it was a dream come true. But dreams end... and teaching is a dead end over here. I'm a full time classroom teacher (not an assistant anymore) and I still earn less than I did 6 years ago, PLUS the yen is in the garbage right now so I might not even break $20,000 this year. It's just not sustainable for teachers.

If you're in tech, though, enjoy

Do you work ridiculously long hours too? I hear a lot of teachers do. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a very viable long-term career option

Seven years is a long time. I think most people leave within 3-5 years or end up staying forever. It'll probably be hard to adjust to life in the US again, not to mention moving to the opposite coast (I'm assuming you're from California). I hope it all works out for you though!

I thought about moving to Japan or Korea since I used to have an IT job where my coworkers lived in Korea/China (and there was a Japanese department that needed to hire someone), but being a trans foreigner who is pre-everything sounds not fun especially compared to California so I don't envy you. Good luck on your move and moving in with your partner.

I'm from Illinois, but my mom has moved out to Cali in the time I've been gone. So I'll stay with her for a few months.

I really try my hardest not to work any unpaid overtime, so just my normal 8am to 6pm. But sometimes there's just too much to get done before some big event, or observation class, or whatever. So yeah, long hours happens.

Thanks for the well wishes! <3

well, I can give you some advice if you do go that route! I was only like 3 months on hormones when I moved, so I basically had to start everything over again in Japan

Let me know! (And if I just randomly stop showing up here as I've been known to do in the past, you can email me, rose.m.turck at gmail)

Dying? Daily active users are flying up past 250 million, which is a massive upward trend from where it was, and all the lazy weirdos with bloated salaries are being fired so those who do actual work can get promoted.

wow! You're still doing this gimmick all these years later! that's super impressive. I haven't been able to keep very many things in my life that stable for so long. Good work! :D

What gimmick. Its public data by law.

If a company is losing 4 million dollars per day or whatever it was, people not doing anything (or better yet, people dumb enough to go online and BRAG about not doing anything) get laid off.

My best guess is Twitter will eventually get smaller, but way more exclusive. Wont happen any time soon though because the site is quite literally being flooded with new users.
lol okay

Since you seem to be asking genuine questions here and I've seen this video circulate a lot:

A lot of tech offices have these sorts of amenities, but for the most part (in my experience) you don't see employees making use of them for extended periods of time all that frequently (note the lack of people everywhere she goes). The video is clearly an attempt at bragging about where she works, so she basically hits them all up in one day.

Another thing is that most jobs at tech companies don't necessarily care about hours worked but they do care about targets. If you mess around all, you will likely have to make up your work after hours.

In terms of losing employees and still running, think of it like a boat. Even if all the crew hops off, the boat will continue to sail...for a little while, at least.

I looked this up, and Twitter was reportedly losing 4 million dollars per DAY. Where was all this money even going? You can't blame a new owner for cutting staff and getting rid of openly toxic malcontents. We've all worked with those types and you need to get them out of the building.

They were profitable in 2018/2019 if I recall correctly and then overhired in 2020/2021 (a lot of companies did this, actually). Twitter makes like 90% of its rev through advertising, and ad money fell off a cliff this year.

Layoffs were definitely going to come regardless, but this is just about the worst way to handle it since it's pretty clear not a lot of evaluation has gone into how to retain critical teams/employees.
