Between me, the missus, the youngsters, man we're all over the place with bank accounts, joint accounts, savings, investments, tax free things, credit cards. You name a financial institution and a good chance we've got some sort of account there. My super secure secret excel file with all our passwords is longer than your arm.
Don't quite know how I got here but it's time to whittle this down.

Why though? Most if not all do not require any attention but are of use when using the linked service? Which is useful.

The effects of lockdowns on the world, chip shortages, steel shortages and and. Things that in 2019 would've come in 8 weeks are possibly coming in 8 months :-(

Those medicine leaflets which come in the box with your meds. Always blocks you putting your meds back. And I feel I cant throw it away...just in case I need to read whats written there - even though i have never ever read it.
Also when you open the wrong end of the box, and the leaflet is in the way :(

No, I'm getting low-balled at work. The feckers are saying it's "market related" and "competitive". I know for a fact they are horseshitting. It sucks because I like the product I work on and would rather not leave:(

Sorry :-( at least you're working. Had a friend retrenched 2 months ago, market is rather slow right now coming into Xmas :-(. Had some promising interviews but then they turn around and say nah we hired someone more senior or we need to discuss finances with the CFO it's like wtf.

That must have been frustrating. They wasted your time and the candidates.:(
There is definitely a miscommunication between software dev/tech/engineering and HR department in most companies.
How do they expect to fill positions for scarce skills and still want to pinch pennies?:confused:
