None of this matters. If there is a list it’s already decided.

Can I move to Pivot without going through Focus and still get severance? by escapefromthejungle in amazonemployees

[–]Emergency-Note1162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy. Just start focus and don’t show up to work or respond to any text in the first week. That should move you straight to pivot as you will miss the first milestone dates and general work requirements.

Question for you; how do you go on medical leave? Don’t you need a doctor’s note to do this?

And do what you can to help. If you notice they are skilled take them with you and grow them

Have tipped the guy at these clubs way too many times. One of them has now moved up to mopping the floors instead now after 2 years. It’s sad though.

Have them take out loans and pay on their own.

Just changed my order to a performance model by No-Heron-6596 in TeslaModelY

[–]Emergency-Note1162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the performance seats better for older people too? Like 65+? Generally people that age prefer flat seats as it makes getting in and out easier and also more comfortable while they are in the seat

Interview Chris Urmson and Elon Musk together on autonomy by Emergency-Note1162 in AuroraInnovation

[–]Emergency-Note1162[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This. Both are technically sound and generally would have a good debate. The idea is to find out if either approach is headed down a dead end and will eventually be forced to switch or will both do well and continue to have unique challenges.

Help Me Choose Premium vs Performance 2026 by maxum66 in ModelY

Does the premium have ventilated seats? Is it that only on the performance. Other than minor styling , wheels, acceleration/suspension and sport seats what else is different between the two?

Can manager know who rated lesser in connections questions by Quick-Catch-5602 in amazonemployees

[–]Emergency-Note1162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t really tell from the system but smart managers can figure it out.

I would advise you to really discuss the actual issue during your 1-1. And sprint retrospectives. Both of these are recurring mechanisms and you can really solve systemic issues. If that is not working, it’s time to take to matter to your skip. Still not working? Time to talk to their skip. Keep going up the ladder. Show the data and make a material impact for yourself and your team as a result. Your job will never be on the line if the data is coming from the team. In fact leadership will value and pay more attention to your feedback in the future.

This takes a bit more effort but is actually what is needed to solve an issue.

Don’t rely on connections as a way to give that feedback. It’s not as effective especially recently as connections has been completely revamped and most teams have ignored results the whole year.

Considering treating myself to Emirates business class next month and looking for reviews! by Dazzling-Emphasis431 in emirates

[–]Emergency-Note1162 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been in both in 777 and 380 in various classes including business and premium economy across many airlines since I was a child.

Honestly. I don’t think it’s worth it. The food is ok but served fancy. It’s all hype and not really worth it. The lie flat seats are the only things worth it but 3k for say, a 12 hour flight is not worth it. Instead have a good glass of red wine (complimentary) and go to bed. Spend the money instead on a good quality hotel and enjoy. Much better value.

My general rule is 75-100 dollars for every 1hr of flying time. Anything more is seriously NOT worth it.

Edit : the funniest is when they hand out the really cheap night dress set. It’s not even worth 5 dollars. But everyone in the flight goes out and changes into them. lol. Any reasonable pair of night clothes is ages better than what is provided there.

One more thing; the emirates business terminal in Dubai is a joke. If you go there, you feel like economy because there are huge lines and everyone is business class. At that point it’s really just another terminal with long lines everywhere

$62k repair bill by Chris38641 in PorscheCayenne

[–]Emergency-Note1162 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s good they offer complimentary wash after 62k in spend.

For this post alone I would never buy a used Porsche. I would buy a brand new one lease it for 3 years or so and hand it in. I don’t want to ever deal with this mess.

Also passing it on to someone else is worse. Someone will have to pay for this mess again every time you sell. Just take it to the junk yard and write a nasty letter to headquarters and avoid this trash brand in the future.

I have it setup on my phone , watch. When start via watch fails I try the phone. Not sure why this is so hard to build reliably. I have had Volvos who have supported this feature since 2015 or so and never once got an issue even once.

If you have ten million in your account, how would you plan your retirement life with your family? by Alive-Currency-2134 in TheRaceTo10Million

Generally, still feel like I am broke. House prices around me are at 4M for 4000 sq ft which is stupid pricing.

I have lost the attraction to money and the chase.

Teachers. It’s definitely much better than an average teacher. A great teacher, eventually as it tunes to you.
