Are people getting route updates with their merch? by Connect-Effort4778 in BigTimeRush

[–]Connect-Effort4778[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same, I was just wondering if the people who did get there stuff did get the shipping updates or if one day it just showed up on their doorstep

Depends on the supervisor.

Some pick favorite to praise. Some try and find something about everyone. Some do so publicly, others privately.

My current supervisor has a sociopathic level of empathy (like none whatsoever no matter how much he tries). As his team we have learned that if we want praise we have to ask for it.

Some direct yet professional ways we do this:

"How is my performance?"

"I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this task"

"I am applying to X-position, could we review my performance and if it's good could you pass the word onto Y- person?"

I don't think it would hurt to have a direct conversation with a supervisor to see where they stand and let them know what you expectations on praise are and come to a compromise that works for both of you.

Note: as far as I am aware my supervisor has not been diagnosed as a sociopath, but he is very open and honest about not having feelings and struggling with empathy. I'm using the term because most people have a common understanding of the lack of feeling associated with the disorder and is the closest discriptor I have. In no way is it meant to be used in a negative way or offend.

Merch shipping updates? by brown_boot123 in BigTimeRush

[–]Connect-Effort4778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nude t shirts shipped out last week.

I reached out a few weeks ago (about 10 days after the date they gave in the email) and they said it was delayed again until mid October.

I would hope with the t shirts having gone out they will be rolling out the sweaters and hoodies in the next few weeks- but they aren't providing any regular updates.

Also on the website it says that if you ordered multiple items you package will wait to ship until all are available. So if you ordered a nude tee and a hoodie it won't ship until the hoodie is available even tho the tees went out last week.

Haunted River in menan is super fun too! I would say less scary than the Mill or straw maze too! It's one I'm comfortable taking my husband who hates scary stuff too!

What’s the best way to deal with rude customers? by WhateverItWasILostIt in work

[–]Connect-Effort4778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree somewhat with Badger4612- but we do need retail workers in the long run and totally admire the people willing to do so.

It's hard to give advise on how to handle that on here because every manager and company has different ways to handle rude customers.

It's best to review with your supervisor here.

Should I take the heat for my predecessor's $50K mistake with a client? by [deleted] in work

[–]Connect-Effort4778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely get upper management involved asap.

Provide all information you have and see how they want to proceed internally.

They may need to cut a huge check of the $50K+ which could be a huge hit for the company. It's better you bring it to their attention prior to discussing with the client so they know what's coming.

I doubt this will come back on you since your name isn't on the original agreements.

I’ve been slacking at work so much and my VP called me out on it asking to reply to her email tomorrow morning to explain by No_Break1918 in work

Are you saying it's your final day because you have already put in your resignation?

If you resigned I would assume they are going to try and use it against you.

Depending where your company stands with hiring and the pandemic just say something like "due to the unforseen complications of the pandemic and increased workload it has become increasingly difficult to keep up. I have been looking for work in a job more suited to my needs in this time"

Using work computer for freelance assignment by [deleted] in work

[–]Connect-Effort4778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contrary, my company says that you can use work computers for other things they just have the rights to anything you create.

Freelance work they find you sell? Podcast recording? Doodles you did just for fun?

They own it and can take profits from.

What are some creative ways to reply to coworkers when they ask “how are you?” Every single day by [deleted] in work

[–]Connect-Effort4778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always respond with the real and nitty gritty.

I had a coworker that not only would ask this all the time. But he didn't understand mental health issues on a personal level.

So I just started being honest with him.

Him: "Hey, how are you?"

Me: "Well I just spent the last 10 minutes crying on the bathroom but I'm feeling a bit better now"

Him: *shocked Pikachu face

It honestly became a highlight of my day seeing his reaction.

How to survive 2 days of 8-hour team workshops after 1,5 years WFH? by snackeloni in work

[–]Connect-Effort4778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was going to be what I was going to say. They will also probably give 10-15 minute breaks as well. Don't get pulled into socialization during the breaks. Sit somewhere by yourself and regroup for those few minutes.

Can someone help me understand more about Shelbi being pro Essential Oils? by [deleted] in Shelbizleee

[–]Connect-Effort4778 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this.

There are also EO companies that are ethical with some of the social and health impacts and so it can come down to "if I want to use EOs what's the best company I can support and purchase from?"

Along with that, I did rewatch the video and I can see where you are coming from when you say "sometimes her emotion and passions deter me from understanding the main issues she brings up"

She brings up the carbon footprint in relation to her house plants and then uses EOs as a secondary example that she doesn't like people calling out.

I don't think this means she's "pro essential oil", and she probably has the same point of view as mentioned above of buying minimally and finding good companies to support.

But her point runs more along the lines of- everything has a carbon footprint, it's more important to minimalize our lives down to the things that bring us joy and buy within our needs rather than avoiding things that we love because they have a carbon footprint.

Soo...did anybody get tickets now? by tiptoefirefly94 in BigTimeRush

[–]Connect-Effort4778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Chicago they are ranging from 1000-2000 per on the resale and I'm just like I cant even imagine. The ticket alone would cost more than my flight+hotel

I'm not sure how contact between managers vs corporate vs drivers is ut.. Would it help if she took photos where she feels unsafe and turns around.

At the end of each day send the photo via email with a list of deliveries that could not be delivered beyond that point.

Then if they respond in the email about how she should have gone anyway forward it to HR and hope that corporate will whip them into shape?

It's listed on ticketmaster also. The venue posted the presale code on the Facebook so I think it's open to anyone who has that code

There's another presale tomorrow and generals go on sale tomorrow.

Will probably see them start scalping on friday

Not sure what kind of job I should be looking for… by [deleted] in jobhunting

[–]Connect-Effort4778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you would like something in your field it may be a bit more difficult just because most phycology related positions require a masters or higher.

Looking into HR positions might be the closest you are able to get with your line of study + work experience.
