I hope so too. But just in case. I'm hedging my bets and sending applications to other places.

Not exactly good or bad news, but likely it sounds like I will be spared from layoffs and instead getting a promotion.

Better than I thought, still no 100% answer, but reading between the lines, it looks like not only will I be kept, but getting a promotion.

I've been told to try that, but in my field they drug test heavily. I'd be more concerned about that.

Luckily enough I always keep mine updated. As a hobby I help others write resumes. I already started applying, 20 or so jobs yesterday. 2 places want to hire me, but the pay is a bit low to warrant the required relocation.

This is just with my manager and team. They are new to being a manager. And it shows. even good news comes out scary.

After being laid off so many times I built a comically large emergency fund and I live very frugally. I don't trust any job anymore. I was hoping that the emergency fund I built would be my escape ladder from constant worry about employment.

Howdy, this came up on my all feed. I wanted to first of all congratulate you on your journey.

As far as changes to your name, if I recall correctly, it was pretty simple when my wife and I got married. She wanted to change her last name. I think she had to go to the social security office. Given, this was all a few years ago.

I wish you the best :)

If you remove the top few stocks, we have been in a recession IIRC. Just the top few stocks just keep spending money on each other on capex to negate their taxes. Even if the market crashes, big companies now have real estate exposure as a hedge.

Ooh a question I can answer. I will make the answer as neutral as I can just explaining the differences of old Data Centers and new ones.

I worked in several data centers (DC). But all were air cooled. These AI DCs are also called Hyper scales. They need liquid due to the density of heat production. In addition some literally use jet engines to power them instead of grid power. Some new DCs use loopholes like adding wheels to their power production so that way they can skirt around laws saying it's only temporary power production.

In the past a rack (42u standard) would hold things like hard drives, tape libraries, network stuff, and servers. Now they cram in GPUs by the dozens, run them at max via liquid cooling. Traditional DC cooling used air cooled hot and cold isles, raised floors with air conditioning pump and large scale chiller units.

Hyper scales are whole different animals. They are ment for processing. Depending on their loop system they need water connected right to GPU/CPUs, heat distribution, fresh water. All relatively new due to water's thermal mass.

Traditional DCs were air cooled. For perspective a fortune 500's DC may have been 3k sq ft. A Colo (multiple companies sharing one building for infrastructure) may be 15000-50000sq ft. These new data centers are now campuses. Like they are 8 data center buildings on one site because it's more practical to drive at some point.

TL;DR a Data Center =/= hyperscale data center.
