My old boss loved to calculate our salaries (increases always in percentages) so the actual dollar amount would contain our birthday or be $123456 or whatever.
Oh so they were actually insane, got it :)
His reasoning was 5% is just as arbitrary as 5.02% or whatever he would do. Also it really pissed off finance, which you rarely get to do with impunity. I miss him. My new boss is more concerned with my haircut and beard than anything else.
Then shake a leg and get a 6% promotion
We're currently on Kubernetes version 1.23.4 and I'm trying very hard to convince people we can't upgrade until it hits 2.34.5.
