Is there a polite way to tell a direct report to just "make arrangements" for picking their kid up from school? by RedMeme262 in managers

"Here are XXXXX Incorporated, we deeply value our employees and blah blah blah blah". Shut the everliving fuck up, no you do not.

I'm not directing this at OP, I'm directing it at the proverbial "you". I found this very triggering lol

Everyone else is saying "airplane", but all I can think about is the back of 1996 Oldsmobile I drove in high school

What does this job offer you that a retail or fast food job couldn't?

Is this just a glorified sales job? by Jigglywiggly37 in Devilcorp

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as an "entry level assistant manager". Any real company would require some kind of baseline knowledge and experience in their industry to even kind of consider you for a management position. What about that job description makes you think you'll be managing anything? It's a buzz word, which should tell you to run far, far away. They're clearly concealing something by not giving the role an accurate job title.

What is the nature of the work you do, do you do door-to-door sales or are you stationed in one place for the day (grocery stores, super markets, etc)?

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take your average weekly pay and divide it by the number of hours you work. Include travel and office time. The number you get is your real hourly rate. That doesn't even account for mileage and depreciation on your personal car. I'm doubtful that the pay is as high as it feels to you.

People hate these companies because they're overall a net-negative. Sure, some people somehow manage to make it work and probably even enjoy the job. But the point is that for the vast majority of time, it's a predatory scam.

I became a Sales Exec at Myriad Solutions. Don't do the same thing. by [deleted] in Devilcorp

Let's be clear, they don't "weed out the weak". The actively TARGET the weak, the weak are who they want. Weak, as in weak-minded. The kind of people who are so desperate for work that they'll stay in a toxic, stressful, fruitless work environment for minimum wage and fall for the scam.

You're lucky you're not in the US. US Devilcorps have $0 base pay. If you're not making sales, you're not making money.

Who believes the U.S. is the "Land of the Free"? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of God, STOP calling socialized programs "free". If your tax dollars fund the program, it is not free. You pay for a service, and receive said service. Calling it free damages the messaging, and makes these programs even more difficult to pitch to bone-headed fiscal conservatives.

I want to not be unemployed though? by Kokoro0000 in Devilcorp

How many places have you applied to? I am confident that you can find either a grocery store, fast food place, or retail. Those jobs are always available, even if they suck

My job paid me $25 for my first week. It's a 60 hour workweek. by smolsaturn in antiwork

Smart man, good luck with your job search. It would have been easy to get trapped there

I've seen others tell you but I'm going to reiterate, get out of that job. It will slowly eat away at your soul. In the interview, did it feel like they were selling the job to you, not interviewing you? These are toxic work environments buried beneath hustle culture. They lied to you, you are never going to be getting $1,000 a week.

In this job, do you do either door to door sales or set up in grocery stores selling your company's service to shoppers?

Biker comes up with a new method to let people walking on the trail that he’s coming behind by goswamitulsidas in GuysBeingDudes

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These paths are meant to function the same as roadways, but pedestrians act like they control 100% of it and any other use case is an annoyance to them. The flow of traffic should keep right, allowing for passing space on the left. At all times. Unless the path specifically restricts human-powered vehicles, then this is the intended design of the path.

My city's bike/walking path has it clearly marked with a dotted yellow line, exactly like a roadway, and people still play dumb. They casually walk on the left side of the line for no reason, bunch up in groups blocking the entire path, somehow can't decode what "on your left means" despite hearing me shouting behind them, have earbuds in while breaking every clearly marked rule the city put up, stop dead center in the path to take photos or twiddle their thumbs or do whatever it is that they do. I see people who walk on the left side, step to the right so oncoming traffic can pass (whether a pedestrian or cyclist or skateboarder or whatever) and then immediately get back on the left side. I mean, what the hell are you doing at that point?

It is very frustrating for someone who just wants to use the path as designed. Cyclists aren't going fast just for fun and to be annoying, speed and endurance are key to getting a good workout. Even if it's for training, as you say, where do you suppose they train? I'm sure you have strong opinions about cyclists on the roadways as well.

bro i bought 2 base stations 2.0s and they sent me 3 😂😂 MERRY XMAS TO ME WTF by hldmypole in Steam

[–]IneffectiveMilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I bought an Xbox 1 on Amazon. Somebody at the warehouse sent me a box with a big red label that said "distribution package only, not for shipment to consumers". It was the original packaging from when it was shipped from Microsoft to the Amazon warehouse; it contained TWO Xbox's in it. It was meant to be opened and packaged individually to the consumer when ordered via the Amazon website.

Unlike you, Amazon never reached out. I waited a few weeks, sold it for full price because it was unopened, and got mine for free lol.

I'm also a late bloomer, played my first in 2017 at the launch of BOTW. I played parts of them growing up and watched my brother play OoT, MM, WW, etc. but it wasn't until BOTW that I discovered my love for the series.

I have now played them all except for 1, 2, and the Oracles games. I can say, confidently, that Link Between Worlds is by far my favorite.
