Should I fight a forced resignation?
5 by 0xtaj | 9 comments on Hacker News.
I was offered a resignation today in my role with a State Government organization. Should I fight it? The facts: 1. The role is 5 hours away. I was commuting on a weekly basis to the office, every Tue-Thur and did 10 hours a day on site. 2. I was remote on Mondays, and off on Fridays. 3. I was still in my state-mandated probation of 1 year. 4. There has not been a documented issue. IE: there was never anything that I signed that said I was deficient in an area of my job. 5. There was one undocumented issue about 7 months in that I received a verbal counseling for. Again, nothing formal, and it was a personality conflict between myself and another manager/supervisor. I have already been interviewing for other roles and had a final interview that I thought went well, but am waiting for the offer. On one hand, it doesn’t really seem worth it to “fight” it, but on the other hand, I haven’t ever been formally counseld/written up. Look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts. Thank you.

New ask Hacker News story: Brother Printers Sending Ink Data to Amazon?

Brother Printers Sending Ink Data to Amazon? 29 by Ajay-p | 13 comments on Hacker News. A most unusual thing. Every once in a while I get an email from Amazon that it's time to re-order Brother ink.

Instead I see this at the bottom of the email: "Click here to view or manage settings, including the option to opt out if you are already using another replenishment service. This took me to https://ift.tt/nMGIXiy "The data shown is based on estimated consumption reported by smart devices and orders you place through Amazon." Here it had a link to "Consumption history" which upon clicking showed me the ink levels of my Brother printer for the past two weeks . Date and time. WTF?! It is not apparent that I can disable this function. Can anyone else duplicate? Update : This is part of Alexa it

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns

Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns 4 by PopAlongKid | 0 comments on Hacker News. For years, I have been obtaining free annual credit reports (annualcreditreport.com) which must be provided by law. Recently, for the first time, when I tried to obtain my Equifax report, I was prompted for an email address and a mobile phone number, a new requirement that apparently cannot be bypassed. The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email
