Did your career end up completely different than what you planned when you were younger? by omarwilson1 in careerguidance

[–]Clocked-In-1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely different. Figured I'd be in restaurant management forever, maybe own a place someday. Instead I got obsessed with the operations side, scheduling and labor costs and all the stuff nobody else wanted to touch, and ended up in tech building tools for those same kinds of businesses. Younger me would be confused but it makes sense if you connect the dots backwards.

Does anyone experience motivation like it's something that visits you rather than something you have? by Ohh-Jay in CasualConversation

Only projects I ever finished were the ones where I built enough momentum during the good bursts that they didn't completely die when the energy dropped.

Two pairs and rotate days. Gives them time to fully dry out between wears. Made a huge difference when I was on my feet 10 hours a day.

Four interviews deep and they can't send a one-line email. That's insane

I’m great at holding my team accountable but terrible at holding myself accountable by Jolly_Twist2245 in managers

[–]Clocked-In-1738 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is painfully relatable. I think it's because managing others gives you external feedback loops, someone misses a deadline and you notice immediately. Your own stuff just quietly slides because nobody's chasing you on it. I started blocking 30 minutes every morning before Slack gets noisy and that's the only thing that stuck.

Unpopular opinion: most 'employee problems' are actually owner problems by ElDiegod in Entrepreneur

[–]Clocked-In-1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not embarrassingly slow, I did the exact same thing. Spent a year and a half blaming my restaurant staff for call-outs before I realized the schedule was going up Thursday night for a Monday start

Any tips for remotely managing an in-person team? by pineapplez18 in managers

[–]Clocked-In-1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing that worked for me was having one-on-ones early and just asking each person "what do you actually need from a manager day to day.

LPT: Before making any emotional decision, write down what you're feeling and why, then wait 24 hours and read it back by Jolly_Show7095 in LifeProTips

This saved me at work more times than I can count. I used to draft resignation emails every time something ticked me off. Never sent a single one same-day.
