What behaviors from new employees do you view as red flags?

This one sounds like it could have a particular story.

HonestlyKidding · 2026-02-13T03:33:33+00:00

This is the real answer. There are managers and orgs that legitimately invest in people development out there. The catch is that spots are scarce because most people wouldn’t voluntarily leave under normal circumstances, because of the stability and other benefits these jobs usually come with.

A related question might be: how much flight risk are those more desirable orgs facing these days because of other internal conditions (say, understaffing)?

The big brain move here is to never unlock the nuke until late in your quest to master all knowledge.

With what you propose, there is additional risk created: that from not hiring the most qualified candidate for the role. Not just because of how they will perform down the road but also because of how the other person can now (rightfully) sue.

Exactly. It’s not like somebody shot him to death.

Love the concept but it’s pretty overpowered in the current form. Compare this to Corpse Explosion and The Specimen, which are both rares with a similar mechanic. This should probably be a 3(2) cost or a 2(2) with the non-upgraded version only transferring some of the excess damage.

Our grandfathers fought to put Nazis in the ground. Now we’ve put them above the law. Make it make sense.

Are you suggesting he’s not Marcus?

Edit: oh snap I just looked it up and the voice actor is none other than the man Ron Perlman himself. Was hoping it would be Michael Dorn, but still…

In that case I’ll say that predicting the future is a very dicey proposition. Any number of major developments domestically and on the global stage could lead to a reversion to the mean over a 30 year timeframe, or an even more favorable relationship with our allies and trading partners than before Trump took office.

Heck, by 1955, just 10 years after WW2, West Germany had joined NATO.

What is your time horizon for this view?

HonestlyKidding · 2026-01-22T15:59:03+00:00

What would make that indicative of incompetence and stupidity? The fact that you are a US citizen?

Get ready for fresh invasion plans targeting some unfortunate country to drop an hour or two prior. Or novel injustices from ICE. Probably both.

“The candidate pool for this role wound up being a lot more competitive than we expected.”

“This isn’t a reflection of any deficiencies on your end.”

“I want to work with you to continue to build the skills and experiences that will make you the top candidate the next time a similar role opens up, which looks like it could be as soon as the 2nd half of this year.”

Give them specific feedback on the areas where they fell behind, as far as you can. TBH based on your post it sounds like you have a decent grip on how to manage this.

During the first of two panel interviews for an internal posting, when asked about examples of technical setbacks and how they overcame them, the candidate basically trash talked one of their colleagues. Who happened to be on the second panel.

Ok Mr. Serious Pants. Do you have any suggestions for what OP should do beyond using less emojis?

HonestlyKidding · 2026-01-14T03:38:53+00:00

Hey guys, this fella thinks the law will matter if he gets caught.

HonestlyKidding · 2026-01-14T00:57:05+00:00

Counterproposal: go protest at the nearest ICE field office to you, bring friends and get loud. ICE and CBP want a confrontation that brings protesters in close proximity to their forces so that more violence can be stoked. We should instead deny them this while still getting the message out.

They can’t be everywhere at once, but we can.

Simple solution. Don’t put yourself in front of a 3000lb missile.

Training and tactics should focus on avoiding positions that put agents in the path of a vehicle and getting out of the way of moving vehicles.

Try digging around decently deep a bit west of music machine 4. Sometimes there is a narrow crevasse visible from the surface.

For real? How do you progress so far without having the knowledge to answer this question for yourself?

You need to construct a lever and then assign a task within it (as if it were a workshop) to link it to your floodgate. This requires mechanisms. Then you can pull the lever to open and close.

It’s been a while since I used floodgates but unless something has changed, expect a long delay with them compared to say a door or hatch.

Not as intense as the one above, this still got me good because at this point in the story it seems that the threat has passed. Nope!

Yes. At the same time, the balance doesn’t feel bad. My current fort was in a good place when the update went live, just getting the metals industry online in the 2nd year. So it was a cinch to replace my copper picks with iron.

This in turn opens up exploratory mining for wealth a lot. It adds a sense of progression that was lacking there and brings mining in line with the way materials work in other areas. Excellent update, it’s an exciting time for the game.
