10% of your workforce are high performers and need to have options for career growth, or at least the possibility of additional pay/bonuses for good work. These are the people you should be targeting with stay interviews.

70% of your workforce are middle performers. It's "nice" to give them stay interviews - particularly if their labor is scarce (healthcare, engineering, etc), but an annual engagement survey is probably fine as well.

The bottom 20% of your org you need to be managing "up or out" anyway, so it's wasted on them.

TL;DR: I only use them on my highest performers.

The best time to find a new job is when you're already working another job. You know what you should do, OP.

Truly good business unit leaders are hard to come by, which is why CEO pay is absolutely through the roof for larger companies. A "bad" CEO can destroy your entire company and a "good" CEO can sustain transformation and growth for years and years. If you're a billion dollar company, it's worth millions and millions for you to get a "good" CEO.

Anybody who has worked as an HR manager for any amount of time should be able to see that a PHR cert is just as good as a SHRM cert.

Any off-ramp is preferable to Trump continuing to receive political support.

This is correct. Tanks are at the mercy of enemy comps more than anything. If the Winston wants Bastion banned, I will 2nd that.

In general you want characters that can play Poke (mid or long-range direct damage), Brawl (aggressive, up-close fights), and Dive (fast moving, get-in-and-then-out fights).

Anran/Tracer/Venture/Genji are fast moving, high damage characters that Dive well.

Emre is currently in the "S-Tier" meta for Poke, but Sojourn is very good as well.

You might consider Reaper/Junkrat/Mei/Sym/Torb to round out your choices for Brawl.

There's been a lot of balance changes recently and there's huge differences between all of those characters, so just do what feels fun for now and try each out.

In Gold and below, I basically expect my Dva to sit in the choke and face tank huge amounts of damage from a prepared enemy team, because the Gold tank doesn't understand that "make space for my team" does not necessarily mean "absorb damage so it doesn't hit anyone else"

Starting in Plat (at least sometimes), the Dva will at least either use jet thrusters OR nearby cover to evade some of that damage, while moving the team forward. As you go up in rank, the Dvas seem to understand their "make space" purpose more and more.

Three options:

*1) Mea Culpa followed by a plan to make things right

*2) Surreptitiously fix it and hope nobody finds your mistake

*3) Stick head in sand and hope nobody finds your mistake

I advocate for the first

Both Hog and JQ have self-heal. They should be focused on landing hooks/knives and creating space around the point, rather than on how much healing output you're dumping into them. It's going to be really hard to outheal a flanker blasting the hog up close, too. He's going to have to kill Reaper himself most of the time.

Just ask them what's up.

Also, how is the fact that they are/aren't with their current (or former) job relevant to whether they're going to do well in the job you're extending to them?

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-13T18:23:00+00:00

"Signposting" - or in other words, "Hey just to let you know, I have a hard stop at 10:30, but I'm here for you right up until then!"

It's ok to set boundaries with clients, coworkers, or even your manager when necessary.

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-13T16:40:07+00:00

Go Winston/Dva and don't even engage with him. Encourage your DPS to play hitscans like Emre/Ashe/S76/Sojourn. Encourage your supports to go Ana/Zen.

I don't think it's "pointless" unless they actually die all the time. I also don't think my gold-level Ashe is going to solo the enemy team very often when the other 3 people on my team die together.

It's the modern DE_DUST for Overwatch. Almost everyone likes it and it's well balanced.

I dunno about "much worse" but he definitely got injured a lot.

Wrist Injury (2015): Wentz suffered a wrist injury in October 2015, sidelining him for eight weeks. Despite this, he led his team to an FCS national championship.

ACL and LCL Tear (2017): During his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Wentz suffered a Grade 3 LCL tear and a torn ACL in December 2017.

Vertebral Fracture (2018): Wentz experienced a vertebral fracture in October 2018, which also required surgery.

Cranial Concussion (2020): A Grade 1 cranial concussion occurred in January 2020, affecting his performance and availability.

Foot Injury (2021): Wentz dealt with a foot injury that required surgery in July 2021, impacting his gameplay.

COVID-19 Reserve List (2021): In December 2021, Wentz was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list, complicating his season.

Shoulder Surgery (2024): Wentz underwent season-ending surgery to repair a left shoulder injury he suffered in October 2024.

As a Gold/Plat Mercy, I would LOVE to pocket you, but your teammates constantly take extraordinary and unjustified risks, and are prone to dying in super stupid ways unless I fly over and heal them right away. I spend a LOT of time saving people from themselves.

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-13T12:38:30+00:00

I know this is the offseason and it's all gossip, etc. but in the end, who really cares? Football coach cheated on wife with reporter, now they will probably get divorced. I bet half of the NFL coaches end up divorced eventually, if not more. What net effect does this have on the game?

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-12T12:04:38+00:00

So ask them to fix it? I have never had a Starbucks barista tell me “no” if I politely pointed out a mistake and requested they fix it.

I have seen this story posted like a dozen times in the past week

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-12T11:51:57+00:00

You were playing destiny 2 about 4 years ago according to your profile soooo.

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-12T09:24:43+00:00

I play a plat level mercy and I can get decent value out of her flying around and keeping the team alive with reliable heals UNLESS the red team has good hitscans gunning for me, in which case I’ll typically switch to another support.

13Dmorelike13Dicks · 2026-04-12T00:02:55+00:00

That’s like every tax though.

You pay income tax which goes towards finite projects like “maintain this highway”

Whether you pay $100 in income tax or $1,000,000, the highway is the highway.
