    It was all friendly, goofball energy, but when something caught his eye he pulled like a freight train! One time he saw another dog and pulled so hard that Amber fell flat on her face and got dragged for like 20 ft before he let up, it was like a fucking cartoon

    LMFAO! In an all-hands right now and our VP explained that the recent announcement that we are going to add 50 new heads was a result of hearing our pleas in the employee survey and in a “cute little Reddit cartoon.”

    The cute little Reddit cartoon:

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Also means someone knows that employees reddit username and that execs are reading reddit. You're being watched

    I use a turn lead on my Pitty... but she knows when its not attached that she gets to choose how to behave, and usually makes the wrong choice

    For sure! I never post but I follow it closely. You have to filter out the noise but I’ve gotten advance notice on every layoff since I started watching it…

    I tried a harness on Greta once. She splayed out in the middle of the road and refused to move until I took it off. Stubborn asshole.

    You work for Raytheon? You're lucky if they don't have an active wire tap on your phone and a packet skimmer on your personal internet sources haha

    The floor above ours is leased out by Thales/Raytheon for years, I’ve never once seen one of their employees out in the parking lot or about despite their section of the lot being full every day. When we were doing more social media stuff at our company we’d occasionally try and take some pics over on their side of the building and promptly get shooed away by their security lol

    if you use the same email for your tw account as any other socials..or post identifying images in multiple places..they probably know about it at the minimum

    for an example, this kind of tool is publicly available, imagine what exists behind the curtain

    idk if its effective, but I always keep my professional and personal emails separate for that kind of reason. Any personal account like TW is not tied to the same email I use for work/linkedin/utilities etc

    Keeps the clutter down in the important inbox too

    I don’t have my work email tied to LinkedIn but I still get a flood of junk solicitations that say they found me on there, and want to touch base about some service they sell. I constantly block them but they keep coming, no idea how they are getting my work email except that maybe it’s easy to guess (pretty common first initial/last name at so and so.com)
