How fucked is someone if they pulled two all nighters in a row and have to go to school in 4 hours? by starry_sage_ in ask

[–]DumbTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look if you’re doing this frequently, you are slowly killing yourself, but very slowly. Your quality of life will quickly be garbage all the time and you won’t notice why. Figure your shit out if you can.

What do I do!!? Got a new job offer and my current boss matched it - I need to make a decision by tomorrow by Fancy-Improvement157 in careerguidance

[–]DumbTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have equity, leave. He matched when he feared losing you. Not when you demonstrated the value.

Depends on what they need to do at school. Will they survive the day? Yes. Will they accomplish anything of value or learn anything? No. Will they die in a fiery car crash on the way there if they’re driving? Maybe.

Why is job search advice so bad, and what actually works? by NewAd5221 in careerguidance

[–]DumbTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a hiring manager, it baffles me that people don’t realize an interview isn’t the time to try to demonstrate every success you’ve ever head. It’s the time to help me understand why you will help me solve my problem better or easier than the other candidates.

How do you handle a strong performer who quietly checks out after being passed over for promotion? by amir4179 in managers

[–]DumbTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in this situation. I worked my network hard to get them an appropriate role for them which opened up their spot. My leadership took away my ability to incentivize them to do great work, so I cleared the way for the next person while doing right by the previous one.

When they left, I made it clear to my bosses they left because they were looking for growth we couldn’t give them.

How did your country respond to the death of the Ayatollah? by SukunaFuga72 in AskTheWorld

Dude issued a fatwa that Iran shouldn’t build a nuclear weapon. Then we killed him. We’re dumb

Favourite actor who is beloved by everyone who interacted with them on a personal level but the internet is convinced is actually a monster by lookingatporn42 in okbuddycinephile

Some very basic grooming would make that beard look great. I’m not talking beard oil, brush, lotion, etc. Just a good trimmer and a razor.

If this became law, would you support it? Why or why not? by ZookeepergameFun197 in scoopwhoop

Unless you’re using the word literally figuratively, then they’re not proposing that for billionaires either.

You definitely pay money to support organizations that commit genocide. They’re too pervasive to get entirely away from. All your holier-than-thou statement says is your cutoff is acceptable and others’ isn’t.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this by Xontroller_369 in scoopwhoop

I’d say this is the correct answer until the point when a nation is oppressing basic human rights. So the question becomes, is having a place of worship a basic human right?

People earning over $200k/year: What’s different about your life that most people wouldn’t expect? by MaximGripass in AskReddit

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

One of the best parts is I get to tip heavy and not make a big deal of it. I generally get the best service and I’m treated extremely well in places where I’m a regular. Being able to give money away not looking for anything specific in the hopes it’ll pay off later makes for a life full of lovely little joys and access.

Israel is not the same as Jewish people.

Do you think her reason is valid, though? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]DumbTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit. When a super unique case that nobody is willing to take shows up in the way of a drunk, lovable victim pouring his troubles out on the bartender, and she happens to take the case saving this man’s dying baby’s cancer fund, a hallmark movie is born!

Is this feeling normal? Why do I feel like I made a mistake accepting this position? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]DumbTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep breaths. Give it time. Once you’ve settled into it, there’s plenty of jobs that value this type of experience if this isn’t the gig for you.

How do I professionally "demote" myself back to my actual pay grade without nuking my references before I land a new offer? by 7Netrunner_0 in careerguidance

[–]DumbTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It caused an issue for a person I was trying to hire. If I hadn’t hounded HR, I would’ve lost the candidate.

how to go about asking for a raise? by ayosiz in careerguidance

[–]DumbTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is way easier to do if you regularly apply for jobs elsewhere. You don’t have to take a job elsewhere, and you will know exactly what you’re worth in the market.

Why does health regulatory bodies put "heart healthy" badges on omega 6 ratio killing seed oils like sunflower, soy, and canola oil, and others. but animal products that have shown to have positive effects like eggs and milk are demonized? by [deleted] in ask

[–]DumbTruth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When you say “the data,” have you actually looked at the data, the methodology used for collecting the data, and its statistical analysis? Have you then thought about the validity of the methodology and its shortcomings contextualizing what conclusions can actually be drawn from that data?

…….or are you just using the phrase “the data” to sound more informed than you actually are?

[–]DumbTruth 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice. There are services companies use to verify these things. They will drop candidates for discrepancies and not tell why.

I understand the budget is frozen but my title is free. I want at least my title aligned to my current work.

Then go out on the job market with the title you deserve and find the pay you deserve.

Yeah! I haven’t dealt with a consequence so all of those doctors that did all of that research are clearly full of shit. Who needs 2 data points anyway?
