    Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.





  • In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

    I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.


  • They suggest have regular scheduled meeting times to “recharge social batteries” but what about people who those kind ls of gatherings are nothing but stressful and deplete their “social battery?”

    That’s a terrible idea to fix the problem from them. So here’s a great idea from me that will definitely solve the problem for everyone, full remote work, with functioning remote tools that enable easily voice and text communication that has a team dedicated to ensuring it’s functionality. Then never meet any of your co-workers in person. Ever. There problem solved
