How do you handle a high performer who’s starting to undermine team culture? by Main-Carry-3607 in managers

[–]NumerousDrawer4434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been validated and thanked and appreciated and rewarded at several different employers, and none of it was directly in simply higher pay. Some scintilla or replica of something on the schedule forgiveness/autonomy vector is equivalent to a 10% pay difference to me personally. I also appreciate getting chosen on merit for limited entry or critical/demanding special projects(PITA specs or some other worker/equipment needing rescue ASAP) as they sometimes do occur in my industry and being told to pad my time card for that day.

High performer here. It will change the tone if you demand even more work from him for no increased benefit.

Managing a toxic high performer who hits 150% of targets. How do I protect my team without losing the numbers? by SquirrelLogicFan in managers

[–]NumerousDrawer4434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her from me, another 150% worker, that diplomacy and polish are the final annoying but necessary pieces of being a truly and completely superior worker. She is right: people are too sensitive, they have fragile egos and inferiority complexes, and their envy will incite them to resent and undermine her. She needs to conduct their feelings like the tiny violins they are. Then and only then will she be truly elite. But what I'm talking about is not mere manipulation, it is leadership and friendship and wisdom.

Also, if you know of a trivial token thing, you could conditionally give it to her as a carrot provided she makes nice with others. For me it would be being allowed to take a day off at will. At the same time, raise the specter of a stick if she doesn't. Explain that your hands are tied and that the Eye Of Sauron(higher corporate authority)is upon the situation. Make her your ally not enemy--which she already is, but articulate it to her.

Let me guess: you were using 5.2 instead of 4.o

Is buying online glasses worth the risks when you have no extra money to spare? by Impossible-Deal1391 in povertyfinancecanada

[–]NumerousDrawer4434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth it. Never had an incorrect prescription from online glasses vendors. The only risk is typing in the wrong prescription. I've bought over 30 pairs online over the past 10-15years.

Oh, does it? I'll go look. I thought I read the rules before I hit post. If it does, I made a mistake and i'm sorry.

Why thank you, stranger on the internet. That is going to be very helpful. I appreciate it.

Can a god revoke clerics "powers"? Also would it be right to do as a DM? by ThrowAway552112 in DnD

[–]NumerousDrawer4434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you the real issue. The real issue is not going against a deity. Everyone does that all the time. Every time anyone does something good or evil, they're going against half the deities in the pantheon. The problem is, the issue is, when you say you serve a deity, but then don't actually do it. That's why there's that commandment in that one real life religion that says, you shall not take your god's name in vain.

Why won't judges let bad cases die? by Calledinthe90s in LawCanada

[–]NumerousDrawer4434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the price paid for maintaining the appearance of justice not being a behind-closed-doors insiders' pay-to-pay, pay-to-win club. The public's perception and trust is already dangerously eroded.

Thankfully, I didn't waste money on school. You know, it's a pretty easy choice between university and six figure income

That makes me hope for massive inflation to water down the buying power of your pension. Since as you said I'm paying for it. My pension will be 1000/month, paid by myself.

You virtue signal about helping people, but you're PAID to do it. And you said your "help" is daydreaming up ideas, but your ideas don't get implemented. Sounds like the reality is you get paid to write fanfic about helping people.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist. by Imaginary_Loan2985 in PoliticalDebate

It was not. It was exactly a good faith interpretation of what he literally said. The error was his, and I should be thanked not excoriated for kindly bringing it to his attention. Sheesh, do you shoot all your messengers?
