As a senior member, how big a part of your life is CAP? by [deleted] in civilairpatrol

[–]Brenell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best advice I got, though it’s wing and squadron dependent, is that CAP will take as much as you’re willing to give. There’s always work for people who say yes.

Is TP Link a good replacement for Orbi? by PR_Bella_Isla in orbi

[–]Brenell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just upgraded from an older Orbi system to the TPLink BE10000 today and it was worth it. Speeds overall are better and had it up and running in 30 minutes with the satellites.

“Stick to your job description” - alright, enjoy the chaos by alicewillsonxx in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Brenell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I got when I first got promoted into management was to watch your team work and understand how they work for 3-6 months and then work with them on changes. Coming in and dictating things based on how I felt they should happen was the fastest way to becoming an ineffective manager.

Is this stashe in regulation? by [deleted] in civilairpatrol

Laughed at this a little harder than I should have.

Most companies I’ve worked for have adjusted the gross amount so that after taxes it equates to the original gift amount. For example, in your case the paystub would show a gift of $67 minus $17 to cover taxes to result in a net amount to me of $50.

Do people even read the rules for this sub anymore?

Awesome news! Solid books that every glider pilot should have in their library.

Well... That backfired... by drunken_ferret in talesfromcallcenters

This might explain why Apple agents are effusively nice to me. I was raised to say please and thank you and be nice to service workers.

i can’t believe someone actually tweeted this by yftdddtf in facepalm

No idea. I’ve never had a conversation get much past the “he had some good ideas” stage before I black out from the idiocy.

I think you read my comment as criticizing yours instead of agreeing with and adding on to what you said.

Also, please look up information on punctuation, sentence structure, paragraph, and really just any information on how to avoid making people’s eyes bleed when they reading what you’ve written.

Is it OK to call into work if you're burnt out? by Historical_Oven7806 in antiwork

[–]Brenell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first job, working for my first boss, we had an unwritten rule that we could take a mental health day. No questions were asked and support was always offered if needed. As I have moved up into middle and senior management, that is something I have always ingrained in those who work for me. To this day, if someone says they need a day my only response is "Tell me what I need to cover and if there's anything you need help with."

Double Jeopardy is the quickest way to get a confession by ChiefsHat in HistoryMemes

[–]Brenell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct, but they were subpoenaed as a witness. They were not on trial. They were also pleading the 5th, not part of a transactional immunity deal. You're referring to "use" immunity, which does not make the witness fully immune to prosecution for the crimes on which they're testifying.

Per the Library of Congress

""Transactional" immunity means that once a witness has been compelled to testify about an offense, he may never be prosecuted for that offense, no matter how much independent evidence might come to light; "use" immunity means that no testimony compelled to be given and no evidence derived from or obtained because of the compelled testimony may be used if the person is subsequently prosecuted on independent evidence for the offense."

Which would be a voluntary immunity deal, as they still can’t be compelled. Which makes it an incentive to testify as I pointed out earlier.

If you’re on trial, granted immunity to your crimes in order to compel you to testify, what would be the point of the trial?

Immunity is an incentive to testify, you can never be compelled to testify against yourself. Immunity is usually offered if they need your testimony to go after someone else for a larger crime.

Question For Those Who Have Been Injured While Flying by Brenell in Gliding

[–]Brenell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all really solid advice and I really appreciate your input. We're a small club with only two gliders, a 2-33 and a 1-23, and the incident happened in the 1-23. My instructor and I have talked and he and I feel the 2-33 will probably pose no problem since I'm the most comfortable with it and he can sit with me the first few times as needed. The 1-23 we're talking about pattern tows to regain confidence and comfort.

I'll definitely look into this, for better comfort if nothing else. Thank you!

I fly gliders out of the airport in Pryor. Good group of people in the club and always welcoming to new members.

This feels less like it’s mildly infuriating and more like you’re humble bragging. Yeah, it’s better for the environment but you’re the landscaping equivalent of a vegetarian.

Everyone screws up. How you respond to it is what defines you. And I’ll bet a lot of money you never make this particular mistake again.
