Recently accepted an offer at another npo that would effectively give me a raise in the 40%ish range between pay and benefits. My current npo begged me to stay offering to match my salary with a better title (same essentially as what I’m moving into. But only offered match in salary. The ceo couldn’t wrap their head around how to match benefits which are far better at the new job (simply paying a cash equivalent is apparently a hard concept to arrive at).

Because for some crazy reason I actually care, I offered to help them out thru an upcoming big event by doing some night and weekend contract work while they transition in a new person. Their board flat out refused my offer, and are promoting a somewhat inexperienced employee to a role two steps above where they are at to cover my role, and moving over a completely inexperienced employee to cover theirs instead.

It’s sad to see them shoot themselves in the foot so to speak, but just reaffirms my decision to leave the dumpster fire for a more professional organization.

And to top it off, not only am I to frantically attempt to train the replacement who has no formal training, but also do so while they train their replacement. And the cherry on top? They send me the agreement stating they will remote wipe my phone if I don’t provide it to IT to verify removal of all accounts (which I proactively did so they can’t do so), and a list of equipment to return that was already returned years ago when I upgraded my wfh setup with my own money. The exit interview is going to be spectacular…

What’s your stories about similar situations? I can’t be the only one dealing with this level of pettiness upon leaving.

Edit: forgot to add the multitude of snide remarks upon the announcement of my leaving of “good for you! Not for us…”

Hi everyone, I could use some of your advice. I have worked at a non profit for the past 6 years, rising from a senior accounting role to director of finance. Due to some financial changes, I started looking for a new position, and was recently given quite an opportunity. The new role has the same title, but would essentially be more like a CFO position, along with a pay increase in the low 30’s percentage. The only downside is I would lose my hybrid schedule for an rto position, though there’s something to be said for the social aspect of being in the office, and at an organization with a much larger headcount.

I just handed in my resignation, and the same day the ED of my current npo said that they were already working on some restructuring, and want to offer me a counter offer on Monday.

The new job would still be non profit, though more government adjacent. Both places are fantastic organizations that do a lot of good for the community, just different segments of the community.

Has anyone ever had success accepting a counter offer? Any thoughts on being in this situation? This is the first time I’ve ever been fought over by two organizations.

If a job posting shows a range, or a benefit like being hybrid, it should be illegal for a potential employer to change that after the fact. Just had a first round interview go from posted range to max pay being well below the posted range, and the expectation being in office despite the posting still showing it is a hybrid role. I had to point out to the interviewer that the posting still shows its hybrid.

Clearly attention to details isn’t their strong suit…. Sigh

End rant.

Welp, seems like I owe Keychron an apology, and for the sake of the community, I’m putting out part 2 of my Q6 Max saga here.

I reached out to Keychron, after posting last week about the weird issues I was having with my Q6 max. They were trying to be helpful, so credit where it is due. After messing around with the board further on my work laptop and my pc, I realized the issues were stemming from my pc. Even if I switched back to my work laptop after connecting to my pc it was acting odd, but if I only used my laptop without the board seeing my pc at all, it worked great. That lead me down a rabbit hole to discover signalrgb was the real culprit.

Not sure what changed there, but disabling the keyboard within the devices tab of signalrgb immediately cleared up the problems. Suddenly via worked again, I could login to the key from launcher every time, and my macros were no longer broken.

Gotta admit, now that the issue is fixed, I’m quite happy with the board, for a pre-assembled mass produced item, it’s actually pretty good. Granted I did replace the switches for some silent tactiles awhile back. But now that it’s working as it should, I am a happy camper once again.

If anyone else comes across this after having issues with theirs, first make sure you try killing ANY services that can hijack HID devices, like signal rgb, steel series gg, Logitech g hub, etc. If it suddenly works as expected, you know what the culprit was.

Not synology’s fault, clearly user error. But this is why you have to be careful with what you expose online.

For some reason, when I build multi-container projects in container manager, I’ll get an error message stating that container manager “cannot build the project”. But it actually does build it just fine. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what would cause it? It’s not the biggest deal, as it does work. Just trying to understand why this happens, and if there’s a way to prevent it.

I’m currently experiencing an odd issue and I’m hoping someone here has some insight on what setting(s) I may have wrong that’s causing this persistent glitch/artifact.

Setup:

Host: 7800x3d with 5060ti 16gb, 32gb ram, etc, running Apollo using the virtual display option to turn off my monitors and stream via the virtual monitor.

Client: Xbox series x running moonlight

Both are hardwired to my Omada network.

Every time I stream to the Xbox, I got a horizontal line of pixels on the screen in the dead center, around 2-3 inches across (so not the entire screen). I don’t see that line when just using the Xbox to play Xbox games, so I know it’s not a hardware issue.

The tv I stream to is nothing special, just your run of the mill cheap lg webos tv with max resolution of 4k60.

This is a somewhat newer occurrence, and is persistent across reboots of both systems. Other than the usual nvidia driver updates, nothing has changed on my setup.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this annoyance would be greatly appreciated! Happy to answer any questions on what settings I have currently selected, etc.

Bonus question: I’ve noticed sometimes when starting moonlight and going into steam big picture mode it will see my Xbox controller right away and moving the joystick works for moving to the game you want to play. Other times it doesn’t recognize it right away and I have to switch to mouse mode and select a game first. Then on the following screen where you can actually enter the game does the controller start to work as a controller instead of mouse mode. Is there a setting that can make it sense the controller consistently so that it recognizes it right away?
