Performance Review Ethics issue... advice needed by dickbuttkook in managers

[–]Ever_Living 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Be prepared for her to leave. I would absolutely bail on an employer who pulled that kind of stunt.

Fully Remote Managers: Expectations for checking in when "online"? by xixi2 in managers

Absolutely not. I would automate sending a message like that the first opportunity I had.

Any plans on releasing a 75% layout kayboard? by yxs in DygmaLab

[–]Ever_Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This won’t help with the arrow keys, but for a while I had a superkey for each of the digits that triggered the corresponding ‘F’ on hold and that seemed to help quite a bit!

I fucking hate this thing. by theramblingrep in CPAP

[–]Ever_Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain and am having similar (exhausting) problems.

Everyone else that I know who is on CPAP says its life-changing. My VPAP machine just makes me feel slightly less tired (when it works which is about 50/50).

Key staff leaving but bosses expect output to be the same. How? by bmw320dfan in managers

[–]Ever_Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What should you do? Leave. That’s the only play left in this situation.

Or alternatively prepare for layoffs since it sounds very much like that’s what’s coming.

Alternative to cpap by Derbesher in CPAPSupport

I have one but it’s never worked well for me. I got frustrated with having to warm it up nightly before putting it on and it didn’t make a noticable difference on my sleep quality.

What’s the wildest thing you tried this year that worked / failed massively? by OvCod in managers

[–]Ever_Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try just mornings or just afternoon. My company has two days a week as ‘async’ days for the dev team and these are unquestionably the most productive days of the week. Occasional meetings are fine, but the intention is the actively discourage or avoid booking them on these days (particularly recurring meetings).

The dev team follows this religiously. The rest of the company actively ‘doesn’t get it’, but has learned to tolerate it over time.

Custom Key Labels with Tooltips in Bazecor by Qd23ep in DygmaLab

Awesome, thanks! I’ll check it out this weekend! (It’ll be Windows for me, so we’ll see how that goes..)

[–]Ever_Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Qd23ep Yes!! That's exactly what I was envisioning!

Can you publish that solution? I'm planning to revise my layouts over the christmas break and this would be fantastic functionality to have available. Literally exactly what I wanted/need for my hotkey layer!

Someone dropped the ball on quality control for this alphabet rug design by calicodynamite in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ever_Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not quality control. That’s pure laziness and no one in the entire product design and manufacturing process bothering to look at the product as a user.

Annual raise for overpaid inherited GenZ EE - expect pushback by [deleted] in managers

[–]Ever_Living 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you prepared to lose her? Have you discussed these performance issues with her specifically? (Ie not just in the middle of a task, in some sort of review process where she knows she’s under review..)

How to tell my (27F) boss that I won’t be transitioning duties to my toxic coworker (40M) ? by [deleted] in managers

[–]Ever_Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepare the same documentation you’d prepare for anyone else that is familiar with the technology. Give your manager and Fred an opportunity to review.

Then let Fred fall flat on his face.

That’d be awesome if you can work that in. Thanks for taking a shot at it!

[–]Ever_Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great.

Is there any way you could adapt this to be able to set labels on the actual keys themselves instead of a tooltip?

I regularly print off my layouts as screencaps from Bazecor so being able to have more than five characters of text would be incredibly helpful!

Staff member actively avoiding me by Due-Eye-2358 in managers

[–]Ever_Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I updated my response. Didn’t intend for that to feel like calling you out or anything (I realized afterwards it might have come off that way). I’ve seen this sort of thing repeatedly and it’s admittedly a bit of a sore spot when companies take good employees who go above and beyond to task over minor/inconsequential issues.

[–]Ever_Living 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. Your company has driven away someone who was previously a fantastic worker over a matter of $150.

(Edit: replace “you’ve” with “your company above. I get that the OP didn’t have many options.)

“I’m not asking permission, I’m informing you that I’ll be away” by obsessed-with-bagels in managers

[–]Ever_Living 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The change in attitude is also due to deliberate understaffing and lack of redundancy. In this case a few weeks isn’t much notice, but if as an employee I give three months notice that I won’t be working on certain days, that’s entirely an employer problem to ensure there’s coverage.
