@masterofthetiger@theres.life thought of you when Adam Ford shut down Christian daily reporter recently to start disrn. Disrn is nice, but only gets one or two stories per day. Other Drudge alternatives are so intrusively ad heavy or so biased they're painful to use. I think there's an opening here. Are you still pursuing that idea?

I work for a company with good pay and good benefits. I want sure I'd survive here for all of 2019 because I was under resourced and had a huge project with an immovable deadline. But I made it. I thought things were going to be good. Then I was contacted by a recruiter for a non profit trader in very committed to. Moving there would be a substantial paycut,which I didn't think I could justify. But I may go back and pursue it. Here's what has me thinking...

Over the last year, I was promoted to manage the dev team (teams really, in house, contractors, and off shore) ; my entire in house team (only 2 devs) quit because of one business person who has now got a personal dev team larger than mine, while my new devs have been here for only 5-6 months. This person's team is not accountable to me, while I'm accountable for the stability of the system, which is not possible in this arrangement. This person is deceptive, manipulative, and secretive but somehow is still in position despite many people going to HR about a hostile work environment sourced from this person.

Because I lost all the experienced devs, I am counted as a full time manager but also a full time dev, business analyst, support admin, QA tester, and deployment manager for a system with 30k users.

Now I am trying to hire a new developer and had the job description approved last month, but 23 days later HR still hasn't moved on this.

My feedback/input/recommendations are routinely ignored.

So I can stay here, or pursue the job at the non profit and support the organization literally saving lives around the world, and figure out the finances. Maybe it's too late for that opportunity, but I'm at least going to put together and keep updating a resume.

Any input from anyone who has been through something similar?

Numerous outlets retract story on immigrant children detention after mistakenly using Obama-era numbers – Disrn

Reuters, AFP, and other news outlets retracted a story indicating a record-high number of immigrant children in U.S. custody. The articles indicated that 100,000 immigrant children were currently detained. But after immigration reporters called those numbers into question, it became clear that the “100,000” figure came from 2015, during the Obama administration. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a … More

Nice to break through that... psychological barrier.
