Was given loads of extra duties like helping the students produce a 2-hour weekly live radio show.<br /> <br /> For the last 3 and-a-bit years I've been at Halfords. Worked my way to bike mechanic - although not had a full head of department so was pretty much doing some of that too for the last 6 months. Wanted the break from IT but not sure if I want to stay where I am, go back to IT, or try something different.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.35&return_msg=42608.33" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.35"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_36"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_36"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: andy<span class="message_time"> 4 May 2020 14:55</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">36 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.36">42608.36</a></div> <div class="message_body"> hello everyone! i'm a product manager in integrity at facebook, looking after systems <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/4/21164695/facebook-ai-moderation-dec-deep-entity-classification-fake-accounts-spam-scams">like this</a> to keep fake/abusive accounts at bay. which is good.<br /> <br /> things are a bit more complicated than the community hacks back in the day, like when we posted fake <br /> 'reply' links all over the delphi network, tricking people into replying random messages into npcff :'-)</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.36&return_msg=42608.33" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.36"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_37"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_37"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: milko<span class="message_time"> 4 May 2020 18:04</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: andy <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 May 2020 18:04"></span></span> <span class="message_count">37 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.37">42608.37</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.33#a42608_36" target="_self">42608.36</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yay!<br /> <br /> Do you feel like Facebook is like, morally salvageable and all that?
