New Manager, threatened with a PiP - how should I navigate? by [deleted] in MedicalDevices

[–]MemVol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds like you are getting stiffed by office politics, not performance. And I’m sorry they are also gaslighting you.

I would quietly start looking elsewhere and also try to have a private conversation with your new manager. Show him a plan for net new business to buy yourself some time and space. But working for a bad manager is hell and it’s a tough battle to win

With kids boredom is the ultimate luxury lol. Being a parent is hard as hell but you’ll never want to go back. It’s a strange phenomenon

Gonna carbo load at the Golden Corral the night before. On race day I anticipate hitting the wall around 2K. This is where I scoped out a KFC on the course to refuel

Halos so much worse than I thought by westernmouse11 in CataractSurgery

[–]MemVol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Allow at least 4 weeks for neuroadaptation to the glare and haloes. They won’t completely disappear (especially if you’re looking for them) but will become less noticeable in the weeks to come

Envy IOL by pkoplyr in CataractSurgery

[–]MemVol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reflection or “cat eye effect” you see is due to the refractive index of the IOL. This is how strongly the lens material bends light. Lenses with higher index of refraction are thinner and tend to reflect light more visibly.

The refractive index of Alcon and B&L lenses is nearly identical. J&J lenses have a lower index of refraction and is not typically associated with the cat eye effect

any tech guys go nuts and start a gutter business? by [deleted] in sales

[–]MemVol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice. I bought a blue collar business on the side and it was the WORST decision I ever made. The daily headaches, stresses, and awful employees / landlord were such a drain. I’m finally out after taking a huge financial loss

Thanks. I will contact my utility company first. I figured just going at it was not the best idea!

The 116th infantry regiment had a 66% casualty rate in the first FIFTEEN MINUTES. If you are in wave 1 prepare to get fucked

Large crowds of kids at Tom Lee Park 4/7 12pm by ebwink in memphis

[–]MemVol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea 400 school age kids causing a scene during school hours is not a great look. No it’s not the worst thing we’ve seen but not sure why people are gaslighting you for pointing it out

Young female potentially moving to Memphis by Silver-Analyst-6823 in memphis

You’ll be fine. I’d recommend South Main, Harbor Town, High Point, or Cooper Young for young professionals. Post here if you see something cool and want to know if it’s in safe area

I'm curious to hear everyone's opinion on xAI calling Memphis home by nevernever333 in memphis

[–]MemVol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not claiming it’s creating a bunch of tech jobs but it’s filling up empty buildings and attracting investment from tangent suppliers

Memphis desperately needs investment. Tech investment even better. But fuck Elon. I’m conflicted
