Ah the L3 - > CTL - > Lumen saga
That's the one.
What did you do there if you don't mind me asking? Feel free to respond in DM or not at all if you'd prefer not to say. I ask because I worked there as well and I'm overly curious by nature haha
Be aware that Lemmy DMs are effectively public. There's no encryption and they have to get federated. So if you run a server...
that's a dumb way to handle dms.
Oh interesting, I had not heard that before. That is good to know.
There's an option in your profile for "Matrix User", which I think is for that reason? But don't quote me on the security of Matrix. Generally I use Signal.
Worked in Transport then out in the field as CO tech and then back to Transport. I took my ride when they moved my NOC to Atlanta. Funny enough after a few years they made Bright Speed and hired a several of us back and let them work from home instead of Atlanta. As for me, I had already moved on to bigger and better things.
I see why they ended up fucking people over with price for life deals that suddenly never existed when the time came for price increases to start happening. Seems in line.
