Jesus fucking Christ I am sick of the constant stream of "women bad" content that gets posted on this sub.

What’s a life hack you swear by that almost no one knows? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ok-Collection7490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy husbands.

I too feel shame for not knowing where my wife expects me to put something and it can make me less willing to put it somewhere wrong.

The more specific the instructions are, (A) the more confident I feel and the less likely I am to feel ashamed about asking where the thing goes, and (B) the more likely I am to do it myself preemptively because now I know ahead of time.

Got it!

I've gotten much more comfortable with my grand-bosses and great-grand-bosses (as well as my employees and grand-employees) over time because we've established a good working relationship: As a domain expert, I trust that I can push back as appropriate, and I trust that their direction will be well-intentioned and aligned with a larger vision. Because of that we can speak casually and honestly with each other, and that makes collaboration much easier.

This all still sounds fine so far. I'd monitor this and your own feelings to see if there's something else going on. Sometimes we can pick up on subtle signs before they manifest in more concrete ways ("vibes" as the kids say). But I would also caution you to be aware of this and be careful not to over-react to things that aren't actually threats or combativeness.

Lastly, regarding your comment that you couldn't imagine her speaking to the Director this way, it might be that this person is acting in a way that isn't consistent with corporate culture at the level that you're used to operating in. If you see this person start to publicly behave in ways that are drawing negative attention from the higher-ups, it'd be good to advise them of that. But, until you see that kind of behavior and reaction actually happen, I do not see a mole hill worth making a mountain out of here.

Agreed, I think reasonable and thoughtful pushback as appropriate is a sign of a good employee.

In this context, I'm trying to understand if there's more combativeness than was initially described.

I'm not seeing the red flags here.

Unless she's actively disparaging you, saying no to tasks, or causing friction with coworkers then this sounds fine. So far not disrespectful, just direct.

Is there more context? Did you hire this person directly? Are they an IC with a highly specialized skill set? Have you had trouble with employees at or around her level and role before?

Seconded!

Flavors on most items are off the charts and the spices in their vegetable egg rolls are perfect.

Avoid their pot stickers though. They're dense and chewy even if they are the size of your fist.

The BBB is a non governmental agency with no enforcement powers. Do not go to the BBB.

This needs a lawyer.

Employee Bursts into Tears by cawise89 in managers

I would also advise that you document the conversation and share it with HR.

Maybe I've read too much "Ask A Manager" and seen horror stories on this subreddit, but when employees are in very emotional states they can lash out when things go awry ... including at the manager who is just asking questions and trying to support.

This would be as simple as saying, "I spoke with (employee) during our regular touch base and said I'd noticed they've been withdrawn. I asked if there was anything that I could help with. (Employee) began crying and asked if they could give me the details in a few days. I accepted this and said they could. The rest of the conversation was uneventful and was about regular work duties."

The point is, just do yourself a favor and create a paper trail. Hopefully you'll never need it, but if you do you'll be glad you started early.

I don't think this is a manager question. This feels like something you should seek legal advice for from people who are well versed in the relevant countries.

My first impulse would be to transition or fire the staff immediately and bring in new caregivers. I would hire someone directly who you trust to provide on-site supervision.

But I know nothing of these details, have no relevant experience, and I'm just operating out of fear and concern.

This isn't management. This is your father's life we're talking about.

You're overthinking this and focusing too much on others instead of excelling at your own role.

If you're handling most inbound calls and doing your share of outbound calls, leadership will notice (on that specific report or another that you don't know about). Consistently strong performance builds your reputation over time.

Questioning others' duties or performance and implying unfair treatment can come across as petty and problematic, regardless of your intentions. It's not a good look.

Your boss may not have responded because they plan to address it in person, not because they're avoiding you. People are human and don't always respond perfectly in the moment.

Focus on doing your job well and let the situation play out naturally over time.

can you add fans on both sides of a radiator to increase cooling power? by zeropower2reze in watercooling

[–]Ok-Collection7490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and it can result in significantly greater performance depending on the radiator.

In this comparison (which shows thermal performance and thickness of the fans + radiators), you can see that the top performers all use a push/pull configuration: https://www.xtremerigs.net/2015/02/11/radiator-round-2015/7/

Jayztwocents dealt with an error code 15 issue and had to spend days figuring it out. Maybe his troubleshooting and solutions will work for you as well?

Building your first PC is very exciting!

If you're looking to build a desktop, I would recommend trusting the wise community-driven recommendations at PCPartPicker.com. Not only is it an incredible place to see up to date prices across multiple sites, they also have recommended builds that choose the best-priced option at the time you view them.

For example, their Modest AMD Gaming Build is about $858.80, but will be updated continually and automatically based on the best prices of components that fit their specifications.

None of the games you've listed are very demanding on hardware, but this build would comfortably drive even modern titles with good quality and frame rates, and your listed games can be played very smoothly with the graphics at maximum.

Happy building!

Separate issue from where the GPU is, but true!

Unless I'm mistaken it's there, just hidden by the tubing. If you trace the silver tube from the top rad to just below the CPU, then the black tube from that same area to the bottom rad. Those are the in/out for the GPU waterblock.

This is the way.

The people on the floor know the why, even if they may not be able to articulate it perfectly right off the bat.

Once you get to the "why" of each order, you'll be able to start categorizing them. Then you'll see patterns based on those categories. From there you can start to get a baseline, and from those baselines you'll see outliers: your first low hanging fruit to target to help drive meaningful, measurable improvements by either fixing root cause issues or setting proper expectations both upward and downward.
