That one is easy: You won’t shock anyone if you show up at the hospital with dirty underwear. You don’t want a trauma surgeon to say that they have to page the neuro-chir. Get under a doorframe, and put your pants up when your head is safe.

I thought the door frame thing was actually not a good idea? The mantra nowadays is drop, cover and hold on. Which might actually put you in a more precarious situation during said quake.

Reading this on the toilet now wondering what my priorities would be if there was a quake in the next couple minutes.

If youre on Android you can use newpipe, and just see all your subscriptions together sorted by time uploaded. You can still have it autoplay their default algorithms which seems to work just as good as a personalized one.

It’s why they love claiming “culture fit” on anyone older than them. 28 year old managers feeling threatened by 30 year old employees.

Anecdotally, I have not found much correlation between age and management style. I have had bad managers of all ages!

I have had one good manager though, and it's pretty obvious what made them great. First is they listen to what problems you have and actually help you do your best work. Secondly, they protect you from the other bad leaders at the company. Thirdly, they work too hard.

I'm by no means important in my org but when something appears like a shitty idea I will raise that (like other ICs around me) and more often than not it works out fine. I'll agree to give something a shot but if it doesn't work it doesn't work and my managers so far have all realized that a bit into the trial period.

Reading comments like yours, I guess I should value my work environment more.

bickeringyokel · a year ago

The question is really more do they actually act on the feedback on a regular basis?

The cynic in me believes managers actually don't want good metrics because then they have evidence of their bad leadership.

Interesting that Google owns 'here', given the competing map business Here. Also that Amazon owns 'tunes'.

Many of these look like efforts to grab TLDs that would compete.

The domain business seems completely broken to me. Anything remotely useful has a squatter. I dream of a day when the entire system is obsolete.

bickeringyokel · 2 years ago

I have been able to pick up a handleful of useful domains like firstnamelastname.net without much effort and my total spend every year on domains is probably less than 50$. Maybe a dotcom is hard to come by but other TLD are not so bad. Your milage will totally vary, but I would say things are not totally broken, you can find decent domains at good prices if you're a l bit flexible or patient.

Small "bug". Shows "application error" if you submit empty dates. Nice app though.

Many managers will be happy to have people who are showing to work and just do their job. Isn't it the reason why people are hired? To do their job.

Of course everyone wants to get more for free, that is why do many complaints that people are lazy and don't do any extra work which can benefit their employer.

bickeringyokel · 2 years ago

If you are subject to more corporate performance review shenanigans it feels like anything less than 10x performance is insufficient to upper management. Maybe you will even be subject to something as unhinged as being told not to rate all of your self assessment too highly because it's "not possible" to be high performer in all the meaningless "company values" they put into their performance rubric. perhaps you will even be given the example of "working overtime" as a good example of something to put in your self assessment.
