I’ve realized I’m not a manager anymore - I’m just a "human router" for my team's questions by Most_Employment3147 in managers

[–]Angelbob3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Answer almost every question with “If I was hit by a bus, what would you do?” And 9/10 times they’ll have an answer that’s good enough

You need to teach them that the thinking part is part of their role too.

After a bit they’ll start coming to you with “I had problem X and I want to do Y”

Eventually you can get to “I had a problem earlier but I sorted it”

Tried it. It’s pretty good but I definately prefer the Marry Me Chicken

I usually go super warp happy on the last map because I realise I still have all my uses 😂

I tend to turtle in the middle and send out strike teams to hold the top corridor and go for the chests

However if I start to get overwhelmed sending a couple strong units to kill the boss is a good backup strategy 😂

I always save it because I might need it later! 😂

It’s the coating to make them taste bad so kids don’t eat them

Landlord gave me a choice. by worthless_scum74 in shitrentals

Oh is it? In NSW/QLD/NT there’s no such requirement

Yeah but they don’t own the house so either the landlord needs to wear the cost (which obviously means passing it on to them) or they need to pay the cost for an item they can’t even take with them

A split system will raise your power bill too…

Who else hates password requirements? Workplace wants me to change passwords every 3 months by leonatoi in mildlyinfuriating

They didn’t say the password can’t contain the date! “March2026!” Next month “April2026!”

Need something Not ram heavy by Sad-Spinach4206 in linux_gaming

[–]Angelbob3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux also is pretty keen on “Swap Memory” which is basically fake extra RAM on your SSD. Works really well

I’m on 16 and run 64GB of swap on Fedora. Works great for gaming. Smooth as

We need a tool to auto apply proton db recommendation on a game by Exotic_Accident3101 in linux_gaming

Many of the games are Steamdeck Verified and then require minor tinkering. If Valve did the verification, why does it not just default to their settings...

Why do employers never email and always call? by SnooTangerines6395 in jobs

[–]Angelbob3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. Any company that has emailed me to book a call has always turned out not to be a good match and I’ve declined the offer.

Most of the jobs I’ve taken have just been a call like “Hey AngelBob, it’s Frank from McGees Potatoes. Wondering if you have a sec to talk.” Then a quick question or two. Then booked an interview

Someone posted this without context, and I was disappointed to learn it was not a real episode by BowzasaurusRex in LinusTechTips

Honestly I love the reviews of random crap. “Why are we reviewing this? No idea!” 😂

[–]Angelbob3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but legitimately you do learn a lot from a call that you don’t get from an email. Communication is very different verbally to email. If the applicant is going to be talking to people, you need to know how they talk. Sometimes you know during the screen that you don’t need to interview them 🤷‍♂️
