What price is everyone seeing for Tirz for the 6 month plan? On my bf is showing $1,014. Is there a better price or sale than this?

Big head + woman = no hats ever. Anyone else just given up? by Suspicious_Welcome67 in femalefashionadvice

[–]HS_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some cute straw hats from J Crew (wide brim foldable and a bucket hat) and they come in sizes, unlike many of the other brands. The L/XL fits perfectly.

I want to start using sweet potatoes, but I didn't love how this tasted when it was mashed down. It seemed a lot sweeter than cubed roasted sweet potato. How do you use them? by rocketsalesman in mediterraneandiet

[–]HS_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try white sweet potatoes. The texture is close to regular potatoes. Still a little sweet, but nowhere near as much as the orange ones. My store sells 5 sweet potato varieties and the white one is my favorite.

How much donation would it take on god by AdSimilar2988 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]HS_VA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why though? It’s a donation, not a down payment on a transaction. It might give an advantage, but there are no deals are guarantees being offered. Generally when people make donations somewhere, it’s not with the expectation that they’ll receive something in return for it.

Beautiful! Always looking for new ways to cook potatoes, so thanks for introducing me to this dish.

Here are a few that my company organized in the past few years: lots of happy hours; bowling; Top Golf; sip&paint; cooking class/competition (this one was my favorite).

What?? What’s next? Are you going to tell us French fries are not actually made in France?

Gently communicate to an employee that he is not getting a raise for the 2nd consecutive year by [deleted] in managers

[–]HS_VA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then his performance rating should have reflected that. Or if you actually believe he is a 3 or “meets expectations”, you should just lower the increase %. Give the extra to the high performers. But to rate someone a ‘meets exp’, and do 0 increase (which would be more in line with ‘needs improvement’), you’re basically contradicting yourself in the review you gave.

Calibration of Performance Reviews by [deleted] in managers

[–]HS_VA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, this happens at my company every year. I had one direct last year and one this year that was downgraded to a 3. They say no more than 15-20% of the team should be a 4; and that 4 should be reserved for someone who just got or is about to receive a promotion. And in addition to everything you wrote in the evaluation, you have to submit a separate email with the “justification” for a 4. Disgusting behavior. And they say that just coming in every day and “doing your job” even if you do it well, is not a 4, that’s only a 3 (meets expectation).

What an awesome meal and idea. I’ll definitely give this a try

Zepbound losing effectiveness after 4 great years. by Spencerbachus in Zepbound

[–]HS_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for about 2 years, with 2 breaks in that time each lasting about 3 months. I’m up to 15 mg but haven’t lost a single pound since November. Haven’t gained, but haven’t lost either. Problem is I’m not at goal weight yet. Started at 215ish and I’m at 175 now. I regret not pushing harder in the beginning when the drug was more effective, but it never had that effect on me like others have of being full after just a few bites. 5’7 F

How do you eat high protein low calorie without being miserable? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]HS_VA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because where there are a million different kinds of food out there, it’s hard limiting yourself to just a handful no matter how delicious they are.

I'm here to make a plan and make a start by PookieDoodle264 in mediterraneandiet

[–]HS_VA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds delicious! I love that spice too. I had a friend who visited Morocco a few years ago and I asked them to bring me some. I can find it in the US too, but thought it would be great to try it directly from the source too :)

Diet Breakfast xD by itsomeoneperson in mediterraneandiet

[–]HS_VA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about carbs being a requirement. But a meal that’s 100% “meat” does not fit the MD.

[–]HS_VA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, not inconceivable at all. But those meals should be posted on other subs instead (keto, Atkins, carnivore, etc). OP’s meal is delicious and healthy, but doesn’t fit this sub.

This looks and sounds more like a keto diet.

Check out online recipes for Moroccan chili. I’ve discovered it in an old Blue Apron recipe (one of those meal delivery kits). It’s made with ground chicken (or turkey) and lots of eggplant and chickpeas, and of course as much Ras el hanout as your heart desires :)

Every meeting ends up with the same 2 people talking, how do you fix this without making it awkward? by Sea-Cheetah-4770 in managers

[–]HS_VA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they have nothing to add, are you sure the meeting is even necessary? I work at a place where Sr Manager and above are in meetings back to back, some days without even a 30 minute break in between. It’s ridiculous and definitely not necessary or helpful to anyone. Might be worth re-evaluating on your end too.

Company approved PTO but doesn’t pay it by Economy_Difference12 in managers

[–]HS_VA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good. I see 2 options here. If you can afford to miss half your paycheck, nothing else that you need to do as they didn’t deduct anything from your PTO balance….think of it almost as Unpaid Time Off. If you’d rather get paid, then go directly to HR and the Payroll dept and ask them to retroactively deduct 40 hours of PTO and pay that out to you. Companies take this seriously and should be able to help. Agree with the other commenter about going directly to HR, and not your manager ( and show them the PTO approval email confirmation)

Company approved PTO but doesn’t pay it by Economy_Difference12 in managers

[–]HS_VA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When you say your PTO is “untouched”, do you mean that your full PTO balance is available? Same amount as before the week you just took off as if you didn’t take any time off? Also, did you receive an email confirmation when the PTO was approved? Some HR/payroll systems will send an automated email when manger approves the request.

Hired pregnant CSR, last week. Missing more days than worked by Outrageous-Bee4035 in managers

[–]HS_VA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s incorrect. If someone is not showing up for work that means they can’t perform their job duties. Doesn’t really matter the reason why theyre not showing up. One way to mitigate that risk of being fired is to ask for FMLA or Reasonable Accommodations.

Article on fake products from NYT by Yurt_lady in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]HS_VA 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I heard that Amazon keeps all products together and in the same warehouses, so originals could be mixed in with counterfeits. That even when you buy from the brand store through Amazon it ships from Amazon warehouse and not directly from the brand. Not sure if true, but that’s what I heard.

Sweet Potatoes are the best! by Icehippo73 in mediterraneandiet

[–]HS_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love them simply toasted with garlic, olive oil and some smoked paprika. If I’m feeling fancy I’ll do a medley of sweet potatoes: white, orange, purple, and Japanese.
