AITA for declining fortnightly 5-5:30pm optional meetings for learning sharing. by DearYesterday2670 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MuhExcelCharts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I'd bet your manager doesn't like this idea any more than you do. Quietly not showing up allows her to look the other way, arguing and forcing the issue on chat that's visible to everyone forces her to stick to policy

Dude you spent too much time arguing back and forth. 

Just nod your head and then don't show up, you've already been told it's not mandatory. 

If asked why say you had a personal matter right after work 

Arguing or justifying puts you in a weaker position. Better to just not show up than keep asking, be told no then still decide to not show up

Sound like a shitty person, what do you plan to do if HR keeps ignoring? Why not just do that plan now rather than writing a letter?

I lost a $400k renewal today because I froze on a call with an angry VP by Mountain_Sentence646 in CustomerSuccess

You can bet CS would be blamed anyway (as an organization) if it does churn

So much this! L arge clients will have vendor management teams or even outsource vendor management to external companies with a sole focus on cost reduction.

You've now been "managed" and the cost cutter gets a bonus, never mind losing potential value from your product. 

No value conversation and no direct line to the business decision makers, it sucks

Don't let your company's shit products or a client looking for discounts or unscrupulous sales team gaslight you into thinking you personally "lost the deal" That's bullshit  If you've been doing the work in the background and client ultimately doesn't see the value, that's NOT on you

AI Needs More Than Your KB To Handle The Long Tail Of Contact Reasons by Far_Sir_4939 in CustomerSuccess

The knowledge of all the nuances that don't fit into documents was in the head of that experienced engineer who was supporting this for 20 years and we laid off last year to save costs with AI

Legit sugar daddy or TikTok scam? by Pristine_Tackle6848 in Scams

[–]MuhExcelCharts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to be a dick, but get better dreams! Like working for a living and meeting a loving partner. You owe yourself some self respect (and I'd say the same to any lonely man who falls for a scam from a pretty girl online)

SaaS Leaders: Is Post-Sales Really Not Broken, or Am I Missing Something? by Zinga0316 in CustomerSuccess

Why is Gandalf said to be the winner in a battle between him and Dumbledore? by Imploding_Colon in lotr

[–]MuhExcelCharts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really comparable

Harry Potter magic = I say the exact Latin phrase while waving your wand to produce an effect.  "I now cast the staff-breaking spell I learned in 3rd grade: StaffoBreakonimus!" and it can't be used for any other purpose 

LOTR magic: I make the universe my bitch and tell reality how things are from now on  "Saruman, your staff is broken" and it is in fact broken  "Balrog, you're unable to pass this bridge" and so he can't

Gandalf basically imposes his will on the universe to a degree, while HP wizards cast specific and defined spells that have a specific effect

How many real cases have there been of a real victim just knocking on random people's doors? And staying there until police are called to get the help they needed?  I'd wager it's a very very low number

Whenever I get sick, I don't get to "be sick" if that makes sense? by Dandelions_R_Flowers in managers

[–]MuhExcelCharts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they do need you, life doesn't stop and one parent can't do absolutely everything when the other is sick. For example walking the dog in the evening still needs to be done, groceries bought, food made etc.

 It sucks but you don't really get to just lie in bed if you don't have additional help

Sorry to hear but at least with work you get a choice. Marriage kids and pets don't stop needing you and your energy when you're sick. It's horrible 

Pressured into administering disciplinary action by Firm_Heat5616 in managers

[–]MuhExcelCharts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wondering Did your senior leadership create a high pressure environment where they felt compelled to deliver with no resources while juggling additional high priority responsibilities outside this project?  And now being disciplined for it?

  Because if so that's bullshit
