The one that gets me is watching a new creator to me on a subject I’m interest in e.g. gaming and it turns out that said creator so has a right wing nut job catalogue and that’s all that fella my feed for the next two weeks.
My time is limited I just want to relax on my down time and ain’t interested in rage bait but that’s all yhe algorithm seems to want to show me every chance it gets by me clicking on a new name
This is where I’m at. The push right now has nft pump and dump energy.
The moment someone says ai to me right now I auto disengage. When the dust settles, I’ll look at it seriously.
Three seconds after you start it for the 1st time
I don’t think it matters. By the time the shareholders realise it’s a lemon the current leadership team will already have been recycled out and safe from the fallout
I have half a recollection from a misremembered primary school history class that that also coincided with the end of wwii. I bet that was part of the magic spell
This would be awsome if I wernt under a permanent and thick grey cloud this year
1 for each hand
Your not missing much. Last time I looked at it there wasn’t much more than reality and chat blocks aka cheap lower common denominator stuff
Yeh fuck all that shit. I’m loyal yo the company in so far as they haven’t pissed me off enough to get over the inertia of looking for a new one. I think it helps I get on really well with all the adjacent teams and managers…
I will admit 1 thing though I never sought out this job I was just an engineer in the team I now manage. I was offered it when my former boss was promoted. The reason I said yes was the fear of some unknown bellend getting parachuted in and fucking everything up
As a result I know the pain points of the job and do my best to alleviate them while playing interference where appropriate from the higher ups.
Regarding sick time I genuinely don’t care as long as its done within the law. The company at large deals with this direct via hr who will flat out juts go around the reporting manager without speaking to them. I do not know ehat triggers this. Probably so reporting managers can’t forewarn staff how yo game it.
The more I see on American (I’m asuming) work culture the more it tetefies me
There’s defined operrunity for issues and I can see where they would come with conflicting personalities etc but so far at least it hasn’t come.
There is some wiggle room in the limits to deal with that which is used for emergency and sickness that I can lean on.
The way I see it, my job is to keep everyone as happy as possible while ensuring the work gets done. An no were not a family. I hate that shit were all here for the same reason. Pay me.
It’s both when a conflict occurs. I say that much, and then someone cancles the request am usually not involved in the decision process at all. Holiday requests are visible to the whole team when approved and they know my criteria which is basically no more than x off in 2 day 1st come 1st served so it only ever comes up if to people ask when I’m on holiday and haven’t approved it yet.
I find transparency is key to building trust. Unlike how it seems to be on the American front, we’re all in this together. If I fail, we all fail and vice versa.
We have a policy, and everyone knows what it is. And while my little corner of the company is only worth a few million, it is a global team.
Tldr: don’t be a prick with the team, and they won’t be a prick with you.
As for where am I, I’m in Scotland. Vacation isn’t really used that often in my experience outside of request forms at work
Like I said to date I have not needed to refuse a holiday request. Of course, i could just be really lucky
Cool story bro.
And yes that’s just as valid a stance. I however try to work with my staff as adults who have to work together with no favourites or otherwise.
Fun fact i have built a team that respects each other enough that I have never once had to deny a holiday. It must really succeed to work that based on your responce is such a hostile environment
Maybe. Did you move to Germany a couple years later?
In my younger days I witnessed this conversation
Guy was basically Brent (if you know you know) for a huge project. So on the 2st of Dec our boss phoned him and said he had 4 weeks to take before jan 1st. Brent’s responce was cool see you next year and was told no I can’t let you do that
We just looked at eacother in total amused confusion
This is the way
I go so far as to get all involved parties together and discuss to see who has the greatest need. I also make a point of trying to make the person who doesn’t get have as easy a time as possible on their next request.
It would supprise you how often the reason for the holiday is meh got to use em before the end of the year
Which is why Google is no longer my default browser. I’d be quite happy if it reverted Back to don’t be evil or just ceased ro exist
I call those ideolgical vegans and yes they drive me nuts too
I have met 1 and married her. But yo be fair she is just vegetarian whi developed a dairy allergy knocking out the non veg part of her diet
Makes a dumb good steak too
While My go to is control panel if they fully committed to settings in win 8 I wouldn’t give a fuck. I don’t care where my settings live as long as it’s all in 1 place
Pity I have shifted enough away from win thar I only need it for a single program and could no longer care
Ignoring the predatory shit my gipe is how every game that’s come out for the last few years has become paint by numbers.
There’s a reason the term ubisoft game has become shorthand for a certain type of game.
I’m just over it in all honesty.
