| schestowitz[TR2] | Thanks! I've just fixed both issues. Both were due to the system we had developed. | Mar 29 06:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When we convert images/upload them they become a link, overriding any other link, and AVIF conversion is handled poorly by imagemagick. Some of my browsers do not support or render that at all. | Mar 29 06:01 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | What are we even doing anymore? | Mar 29 07:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We should all just start doing the bare minimum. We're going to be cut anyhow. Might as well fu-k them over somewhat before then. | Mar 29 07:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You should start by taking advantage of the paralysis from the layoff notices in the past week by looking outside the evil and corrupt IBM mother ship for new jobs while you still have time. After all, if you're gonna get laid off by Alvind and his evil mother trucking Indians, you might as well get a head start on them. | Mar 29 07:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Take as much education as you can and get as many badges on your profile while you have time. Put the badges on your LinkedIn page and network, network, network with others outside IBM. They all know IBM is an evil place, and staying at IBM is a LOSING strategy. Sooner of later, some Indian puts a target on your back. No kidding. | Mar 29 07:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Get your resume tuned up for the inevitable layoff. Make 3 or 4 different versions to send out before the expected happens. Alvind is hungry for American blood, you just have to be more nimble to keep out range. In the end, someone will be waiting for him and his Pipmunks too. Actions have consequences. | Mar 29 07:35 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | " You can also call the anonymous ICE tipline and tell them about the many H1B undocumented from India who live in a rented Florida building and work for IBM Consulting.
