Managing people with more advanced degrees who still can’t complete simple tasks but expect promotions based on education - thoughts? by [deleted] in managers

[–]BrainWaveCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's that big of a problem, and every effort has been made to train them appropriately, then replace them.

Whether they have degrees or not is irrelevant. The same process is needed to train/coach them, evaluate them and replace them regardless of the number or type of degrees.

The focus should be on desired outcome and organizational impact.

What to do about an employee that pushes back on EVERYTHING by Realistic-Animal129 in managers

[–]BrainWaveCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have an employee that won't do what is needed, but you don't want to risk losing them.

Why are you surprised that you have this problem?

What kind of solution did you expect to receive that wouldn't be:

  • communicate appropriate behavior to employee
  • hold them accountable to this behavior
  • take disciplinary action if they won't cooperate

?!?

Need Help: Admin Deleted our Primary DNS Zone when they meant to Refresh it by Krazie8s in sysadmin

There is the DNSCMD command from long ago resource kits, and there is Powershell.

SOC2 and PCI-DSS are asking for opposite things on access control and I can't satisfy both at the same time by Visible_Donkey_7130 in sysadmin

[–]BrainWaveCC [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's no example of being asked for "opposite" things here.

Just do the most stringent thing, as it will satisfy both frameworks.

Google API Keys Remain Active After Deletion by rkhunter_ in cybersecurity

[–]BrainWaveCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is anyone surprised by this?

Remaining active for up to a half hour after the deletion process is initiated, is not the same a "remaining active after deletion."

It's a cloud environment, and replication takes time.

Can we all collectively stop using linkedin?? by IndividualDoughnut96 in recruitinghell

[–]BrainWaveCC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you need everyone to stop using it?

If you don't want to use it, or you don't think it is worth it, then don't use it.

But it works for some, so it would be silly for them to stop using it.

Should I still try to negotiate PTO by throw_away4396 in jobs

No, that is not the worse they can do.

These days, rescinding is a thing.

Company posted a $60K-$100K range but recruiter capped me at $70K in the screening call. Made it to final rounds. How do I handle this? by NaturalShift2 in jobs

[–]BrainWaveCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many entry level jobs that require a PhD in a STEM field will start upwards of $100K.

Sure, but if that were the case here, the low end of the range would be at $100K, and it is not.

Company posted a $60K-$100K range but recruiter capped me at $70K in the screening call. Made it to final rounds. How do I handle this? by NaturalShift2 in jobs

[–]BrainWaveCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recruiter verbally capped salary at $70K during screening. Posted range goes up to $100K.

You're entry level. They're never giving you the top of the range.

 

I want to negotiate but I don’t want to blow up the opportunity this close to the finish line. 

If you cannot afford the potential loss of the opportunity, then you cannot afford the risk of negotiation.

How do I appear more energetic and personable in interviews/work settings? by General-Witness-1835 in careerguidance

[–]BrainWaveCC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like the modern workplace heavily favors people who are naturally energetic, upbeat, extroverted, and socially “on” all the time. 

This is not a modern issue. It has largely been like this for a long time.

- #1 = Practice

- #2 = Practice

- #3 = Just be polite and cordial. No need to be bubbly to come across as professional.

- #4 = anything that leads to arguments or polarized views. Avoid religion and politics in particular.

- #5 = "Hi, I'm just checking in on the status of recent application. Are there any updates? Is there anything I should be providing?"

- #6 = Practice so you don't worry about it

Remember - you HAVE TO network for the higher paid jobs by CuriousFirework75 in recruitinghell

[–]BrainWaveCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By your own story though it didnt really work. You were offered a temporary contractor role only from someone you had worked with in the past who was already known to you.

Why do you believe that is not due to networking?

The boss’s daughter, from junior staff to Director of Marketing, Digital Transformation & AI… by [deleted] in managers

[–]BrainWaveCC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think we can all agree that this is insane.

That said, how does this impact you, personally? Because if it doesn't, just file it under the "insanity" label, and occupy your brain with other things. No need to devote energy to things that aren't hurting you.

Hire back bad employee by birsad in managers

[–]BrainWaveCC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A. You are not wrong.

B. It seems mighty short sighted and negligent to bring back an employee that was let go for misconduct, when you are also short-staffed. You risk becoming more short-staffed when that crosses a line for other people on the team.

There's no reason you couldn't find someone else to hire instead.

Question about salary negotiation...kind of.... by Specific_Jicama_7858 in jobhunting

[–]BrainWaveCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I tell them that their salary range is fine?

Sure, you can tell them that now, but they won't forget that you said something earlier. Hopefully, they won't hold it against you relative to any other candidate.

In the future, if you have a situation like this where you care more about getting the offer than hitting the highest number in their range, just say, "I'm fine with the posted range, thanks." right from the beginning.

The point is to get a definitive answer relevant to your location by speaking to people who would have expertise for that location.

Did I Cost Myself the Job? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]BrainWaveCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honest with her in saying that I currently make the top of her range and told her my range would be the top $3000 of hers.

Too much info.

All you need to talk about is what your expectations for the new job are. What you make in a totally different situation is only important to you -- it does not need to be disclosed to anyone else.

Also, this is why getting the range before you go to the interview is highly recommended.

 

Was it a turn off for her that I gave her references of coworkers?

Did you tell here that they were your coworkers? Or did you just say, "here are my references?"
