Christopher NeugebauerSome regrettable personal news:
As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.
(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)

Let’s plant our seeds in a circle and leave the corners to those who need them.
Canageek@Strandjunker I think it should be paid, but you can't bring any savings with you and have to live on what they pay an average worker in that area
NomiChirpsDoes anyone know a museum or other institution that would be willing to take this large vintage railway wheel(?) press? It's marked "Chambersburg Engineering Co., No. 863", and a long time ago it was used to help maintain rail cars at the Port of San Francisco. Unfortunately it's going to the scrap yard this week because no museums we've tried are willing to come haul it away. boosts appreciated.
edit: Sorry folks, there was less time than I thought. It's already out the door this morning 😔
@nomi Thanks for recognizing the historical value and trying to find a home for it. Have you tried the Smithsonian. If they don’t want it, they may have a list of railroad museums you could contact.
bentehi got fired 😕 -- NO! i got laid off! i'm not useless 😄

@trashheap interesting how he doesn’t even consider asking permission. Shouldn’t international community be involved in this decision?
@paco @thenewsdesk wait a sec- for the last year- he’s been making announcements that cause stocks to drop, his buddies buy low and make $$$ as the prices rise. Is this another one of his cons?
studio craque 54 🏳️🌈It's time to throw the line out again.
I have been working in SRE for 13 years. I am a specialist in Observability, Incident Management, and DevEx. I have also managed teams and been certified in observability, agile, and unix operating systems.
In June of 2025, I was suddenly laid off. I'm still jobless in my seventh month of trying to find work.
I'll be completely honest, I don't know why I can't find a role, I'm either over- or under-qualified, I either give too much detail or not enough, I don't tell it like a story or I tell it too much like it's a story.
The people I used to work with have been shocked when I tell them I can't find work. One of them even said:
"you have such a great mix of talents that I wish more engineers had, and I still cite you as an example of the type of people I want to work with"
If you know of any leads in the SRE, DevEx, DevOps, InfoSec, or anything of the sort, I'm still searching as hard as I can.
Remote, I'm in Southern California.
