I was given a small project to work on that would involve creating a database and VBA form that would allow our managers to select weekend schedules. It quickly ballooned into an entire application as more and more things were asked to be added, and I spent 3 months working on it. During this time I asked about raises, or if there was a different position I could be moved to since this had become a full-time project, and I was told that I was being a "Team Player" and that "Goes a long way".I would like to note here that any time I spend working on this instead of taking phone calls reflects on my call statistics, and how those look affects everything from the schedules I am allowed to work to the opportunities I am offered.

Show HN: I made crowdwave – imagine Twitter/Reddit but every post is a voicemailhttps://www.crowdwave.comHey it's Andrew - author of https://www.crowdwave.com here!- crowdwave works best on your phone - unless you've got your headset and microphone plugged in to your desktop, in which case desktop works great too.Here's the story:So about six months ago I saw this post on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39910119https://afterthebeep.tel is really cool - it's an anonymous voicemail box - you call the provided phone the number and leave a message. Blaine - the guy who runs the site (eventually) listens to and approves your message and writes a headline. It was fun, and I found I kept going back to it and listening to the messages.

Ask HN: Good Sites for/with AI Enthusiasts?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41579134As an enthusiast sometimes I feel that I get stuck in a corner and could use some overview. A newsforum about AI engineering could help. E.g. most articles about practical things (think civitai guides), some articles dive deeper into how this tech works (think 3b1b).
