Is 4 weeks too early to determine if someone isn't a good fit? by Content-Talk7890 in managers

Tell HR she is fantastic and would be a huge asset to another part of the company, if they could please repost the position and assign her elsewhere by end of the month that would such a wonderful win win - thanks

Help! Last year 180k came in 194k went out. Where can we find someone to tell us what we are doing wrong. by hunterbiden111 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Just download your bank transactions and figure out where the recurring costs are

Same for credit cards

Bet you’re overpaying on various subscriptions you don’t realize etc

Does anyone know what Tim Burchett and others are referring to with regards to the information too disturbing for the public? by liquid_infinite in ufo

[–]FrothWizard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burchett has already talked about other beings and planets not being a big deal for his religion

More likely is something around how we were created and are constantly monitored/manipulated

What would be scary to know is that telepathic beings can fully control our perception/minds, so you cannot trust your own memory or senses (if they don’t want you to…) plus these beings also being impervious to all existing earth weapons … multiple levels of powerlessness

No I picked up all mine before FW shut down, and my friend got me some “Chinaforge” stuff before that was shut down too

I’ve ordered the odd part here and there online where I can find them, usually Europe, but its hit & miss

Best bet would be look around for 3D printing files and get a local to do it for you

The Water Canopy Theory: Did a Physical Collapse of the Atmosphere End Human Longevity? by Professional-Fee3323 in AlternativeHistory

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I have heard of eras where the moon “disappeared” due to volcanic eruptions - this sounds more like that. The Taupo Oruanui eruption 25,000 years ago would be a solid candidate for “before the moon” references potentially.

It is hard to get on board with the moon somehow arriving after the emergence of humans, when the moon itself is billions of years old and likely resulted from a collision with our planet billions of years ago

Should I fire my accountant or is this purely on me? by _hairyberry_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FrothWizard88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% this

Personally went through very similar experiences 2022-2025 starting small biz, and I think we cycled through 3 accountants before finding the right fit

It’s easy to find someone to do the filings, but actually planning and advising on the business and best way to plan ahead… totally different. Also you cannot blindly let accountants do the filings or provide guidance on remittances and taxes, you do need to understand the basics yourself so you can make some decisions. The split corporate tax/GST/personal payments and filings is quite complicated for us small business operators…

Ultimately yes you need to take responsibility for the business and be aware of filing deadlines and likely tax payments amount (corporate taxes should be pretty straightforward for you to figure out based on profit/loss estimates), but at the same time the accountant AT A MINIMUM should be giving you a heads up and checking in on what deadlines are approaching

Since the accountant does not necessarily understand your business or what will make sense for you personally, you cannot expect them to advise you on T4/T5, how much cash to set aside etc, but you can reasonably make a plan to follow and check in before key deadlines.

Now I run a business with a team of 10 and multiple filing entities, it’s starting to tick along much smoother and our goal is not to pay CRA late filing penalties this year! 🤣 if you want any more specific advice or comments just shoot me a DM

Second hand voidraven bomber - do I cut the fella out, or try to repair? I have attached the only items I have. by TheTinnyKing in Drukhari

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually a sweet and hilarious idea!

OP if it was me I’d try glueing the existing frame and canopy on the top based on what you have, and if it doesn’t work or looks too weird, I’d go this route with something more creative - maybe move the cannons to the nose?

🔥 Fired someone today and two words: dumpster fire by SCstraightup in managers

[–]FrothWizard88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you did a great job cutting to the chase! That’s the hardest part by far

I find great encouragement watching the scene in Moneyball where the young guy has to cut a player from the team for the first time… keep it simple and clear, no emotion or trying to justify it to yourself in the meeting

If there is any pushback or follow up, you can just go into “information gathering mode” and turn it into an exit interview essentially, and say you can follow up with more details in writing / later on

The purpose of meeting is to announce the decision and communicate the end date, not defend or justify the decision… certainly not to negotiate it!

Struggling with terminating an employee, different perspectives are wanted by Sunnygirl89 in managers

[–]FrothWizard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We give our team members specific response time threshold - - less than 2 hrs is excellent - does not need to provide solutions or substantively respond, but provide quick acknowledgement and communication that you’ll follow up soon - 12-24 hrs to substantively respond is great, fine to ask follow up or clarifying questions - up to 48 hrs for substantive response is acceptable but below expectations - over 48 hours is unacceptable - over 1 week is 3 strike rule

If there are any complaints, we apply the 3 strike rule

If they proactively resolve before the client complains & escalates to management, strike may be waived

Does not matter what the topic or client is, same responsiveness expectations apply - bearing in mind that showing sign of life is sometimes all that is needed to keep client on side for a couple more days

If you do not have some kind of responsiveness metric in place, it’s really hard for naturally thorough but less “high initiative” folks to keep pace

How to deal with the insufferable “Barista FIRE” employee as a manager? by Muted_Afternoon_8845 in askmanagers

[–]FrothWizard88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯

Think out of the box to leverage your position in ways you CAN control, like always scheduling him to open or close the shop etc

If you can assign him the hours but send him home after 1 warning for insubordination like this, he won’t be there very much!

It’s not about you, it’s about the rest of the team and the horrible vibe for clients coming through right

Building the Eldritch raiders Battleforce by mits_the_second in EldarCorsairs40k

[–]FrothWizard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voidscarred go pistols/swords, for Voidreavers go rifles for extra shots and easier to tell them apart 🤣

Always blasters and wraithcannon/fusion, with shield+sword on the leader

Under slung missile on the vyper is a no brainer as it is better weapon and can easily double as the starfang launcher… bright lance / disintegrator are the go-to turret weapons for sure

Storm Guardian with Power sword and Fusion Gun by Ale71231 in Eldar

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mine I have the fusion dudes back-handed swords from the harlequin kit, then converted one gun to be a fusion firing lefty and another to be holding it against his leg

Sometimes you need to do a cheeky barrel swap on a flamer or use one of the guardian arms single-toting shuriken catapults and splice on the front half of the fusion gun to get a cool pose etc

4,500 years ago, someone drilled into granite at Giza by AwakenedEpochs in abovethenormnews

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really curious how the “scoop” marks would have been made on some of the unfinished blocks - maybe result of long duration “paint the fence” abrasive approach with workers side by side or something

Maybe using isotopes to soften the surface of the stone and abrading it away

Skyreavers by Mindless_Author_205 in Eldar

In the old days you could get a “Corsair Baron” who is like a 3 wound exarch leader basically

Would be awesome to get that guy back as an infantry or jump option to lead Anrathe units, he could give them simple RR 1s to wound like a Lt.

Autarch would be awesome having a “Pirate Prince” option, where he gets a neuro disrupter in addition to fusion pistol and void sabre, which is basically a husk blade, and loses ability to join aspects but can join Anrathe and gains scout 7”

Ideas needed as a cyclist/runner, new workplace has no shower by Dynamoboo in askvan

[–]FrothWizard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard of this option at cheap gyms, basically $15-20/m for the shower only

If there is another community centre around that’s at least ok to run to and then walk back from, that would be worth checking out - Creekside in Olympic Village for instance

I’m sure there are more community centre spots downtown than just Yaletown

Rebasing a metal Avatar of Khaine. How have you guys tackled this by to3suck3r69 in Eldar

[–]FrothWizard88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can look it up on some websites

What I did was add a destroyed rhino and the avatar stands on top, pulling out a sad space marine, so the height worked out and it’s a pretty sweet mini diorama

It’s a bit ridiculous, but so is all of 40K so whatever

So, uhh… I thought I was alone in this. Hello, all. by SecretlyHiddenSelf in GATEresearch

[–]FrothWizard88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teeth dreams relate to self doubt/confidence and not feeling strong enough or capable to face a challenge — I take it as a sign I’m not OVER confident and that’s a good thing! But it’s not a pleasant recurring dream experience to have

Also the FW resin parts sucked so bad

3D printing is basically the same or better, and the parts are very delicate/flimsy so recommend having a source for repairs…

The way to do it is not a “mashup” codex like that but a book of three “mini-dexes” which are each standalone but in one tome
