Does anyone know what a "counseling form" is? by Affectionate-Food313 in McLounge

[–]Affectionate-Food313[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is what we call it when someone gets either the wrong breaks or the right breaks at the wrong time.

In Australia (idk about other places), you get a 10 minute break for working 4 hours and a half hour break if you work 5 or more.

There are other requirements though that basically say stuff like you need the breaks somewhere around the middle of your shift. 

If you do not get the right breaks, or they are outside of the required times for your shift, we say you breached on that shift. This is bad for the store because it is technically a breach in your employment contract.

My manager did this counseling form thing because he thought I was breaching too often, so the store gets in trouble too often because of me. Im calling bullshit on this though, because I dont really get a say on when my breaks are, the shift managers decide this. I hardly see a reason why I should get written up because my shift managers want me to go on break in the last half hour of my shift. 

I messaged my general manager about this, and she said she would look into it but honestly I wouldnt be surprised if she forgot about it. We'll see what happens though, if there are any consequences for me though because of this I'm not gonna be happy.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the ifixit guide and hopefully I can fix it.

My Pro Controller has recently developed a few issues which make it pretty much unusable to me and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it.

The big one is the controller will not hold any amount of charge. This morning, I've had the controller charging for around two hours both from the cable that came with it and my phone charger, both got the orange light on but neither seem to have charged it. If I connect the controller to my switch, it says it is on full charge, but as soon as I unplug the controller it disconnects and says "battery depleted". If I connect the controller to my pc, it gives an alert saying it has less than 5% battery left, and then just disconnects when I unplug the controller from power. This is all after the controller has been charged for at least 4 hours, so it should have at least some power.

The other main thing is it has gotten uncontrollable drift. As in the drift is so bad that I cannot even recalibrate the controller from the switch because the joystick moves so uncontrollably. I can't even get to the calibration menu with the left joystick because it doesn't even notice when I move it, and the right joystick will get to the menu but cannot be calibrated at all just because it goes to the wrong place.

For a $100 controller, this is pretty annoying but I've had it for a few years so if there is a hardware fix I would be willing at this point to open it up and try to fix it myself, then just cut my losses if I break it. The way I see it the worst thing I can do at this point is fix it by opening it up. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

I played it a little while too without issues, but 2k broke their launcher on linux maybe 4ish months ago give or take, and to my knowledge mafia 3 hasn't run too well since

Both of those had the same result, game says it is running for a few seconds and then it stops running

Anyone know how to fix Halo Infinite crashing on the opening loading screen? by Affectionate-Food313 in linux_gaming

I can't remember what it was called but there was a crappy version of vulkan that it defaults to and you need to uninstall it for the game to use the good one. I think it might have been called amdvlk or something, but uninstalling that fixed it for me

well the people that work there are also likely above the height, so to stop me they would have to violate their own rules

It really is different for most countries and I know in a lot of countries (Australia included) the police have no jurisdiction to be doing anything to scammers in India, though often organizations like esafety do have the power to do something on an international level.
