That’s what I did and shouldn’t have. I did very well in tech and ended up not going back and finishing.

Now that I didn’t finish my degree 12 years later it makes me so 2x the effort to move ahead now that I’m a manager

It’s a ridiculous feeling when your subordinates have masters and you don’t even have a bachelors. Just my $0.02, I ended up fine but work twice as hard, if I’d just stayed that extra 2 years

Now I have a family and am taking a year long leave of absence to finish my degree, after spending over 10 years doing it in my side time, I have a year left. It’s is unnecessarily nerve racking

The best example is my iPhone charging cords. It was $5, and didn’t work. It was so cheap that rather than the dog and pony show of doin g a return, I ordered another one from another vendor that also didn’t work

I then ordered official apple one that worked

And the HDMI splitter I bought sings to me

And the baby toys, it’s almost comically bad grammar on the box, and the kids songs are Chinese accents

My $100 battery charger, takes half a day to charge

I actually cancelled prime because Amazon products these days suck, it’s become literally flea market shit

I probably would use Amazon cell phone service, but would be good if I could just buy that, not all of prime

Update #3 Got an honorable mention from Google Bug Hunters

They said they’re gonna see if it’s worth fixing and will get back to me. They didn’t award a bug bounty, but I’ll take the kudos.

I’m sure the customers who were affected will get the bulk of that compensation.

Hey! I sent you a friend request in LinkedIn, it didn’t let me message you directly without having LinkedIn premium

Can send you the whole 9 yards over there

Update #2 - they actually responded to my bug bounty request. Seems they think it may be worth fixing but not a big enough deal to pay out a bounty to me. Obviously I’d like the bounty but if I got any recognition that would be awesome

—- Hi,

Thanks again for your report.

I've filed a bug with the responsible product team based on your report. The product team will evaluate your report and decide if a fix is required. We'll let you know if the issue was fixed.

Regarding our Vulnerability Reward Program: At first glance, it seems this issue is not severe enough to qualify for a reward. However, the VRP panel will take a closer look at the issue at their next meeting. We'll update you once we've come to a decision.

If you don't hear back from us in 2-3 weeks or have additional information, let us know!

Regards, Google Security Team

I filed a bug bounty! If this is working as expected then so be it…

I didn’t even know this hit front page till you said something

I’m just gonna leave the other orgs alone and not doing anything in there until I can figure out a strategy to delete this google group (which I am actually using to manage my own accounts) my accounts are just hobby accounts more than anything, it’s crazy I logged in and found these full-blown business accounts lol

Just insane to me that I don’t have to confirm on my end that I should be the admin, or billing role lol, they can just one way add you…

I think they meant to add their service account and instead added my google group, the URLs are kind of similar
