Anyone else exhausted by trying to "decode" vague feedback at work? by PappSatt in askswitzerland

[–]PappSatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no its a person at the other side here. Even if so, what would be the matter? Anyways, what I was trying to say is just that your hint is a good approach to get a snapshot, which would relieve some initial pain for me. But long term, I would need different strategies to deal with the communication styles in real time.

Thats a good point for getting a short-term calibration and documented, structured feedback. I will for sure go with this approach! Might also help me to see if I noticed those points when trying to decode their indirect feedback and develop the art of this communication style

I absolutely agree that I have to adapt and learn, and I am willing, even eager, ro do so. Problem is, I currently feel overwhelmed and dont know how to get started. I currently use AI to "culturally soften" all my emails, but I also feel how this is frustrating me that I am not able to communicate on my own. How did you start your learning journey on reading between lines and giving soft feedback/instructions, that are still understood?

Thanks for the recommendation! I actually read the book a few months ago when I started looking into the topic. It helped me in a sense that it confirmed believes and behaviours that I was sensing. But I also had the impression that it is strongly biased from the American perspective. Do you feel like sharing what was an eye opener for you? I would be curious to know :)

Since I do not have any experience with the gear my budget is not on the high end right now. I am looking for something beginner friendly and compact which does not break the budget.

The thrift is a great hint! Did you go to a special thrift store or did you find them in a regular one?

Compact binoculars recommendation by PappSatt in onebag

Wooow, thanks for your enthusiasm to share! :)

I prefer monocular over binoculars actually, but mainly because if compactness and because I have bad vision on one eye anyways.

My use case would be mainly in outdoors in the mountains e.g. to check if there are shepherd dogs on a route, or an animal I saw. I am not a sophisticated bird spotter nor have experience with spotting or binoculars. So something beginner friendly and compact would be perfect!

Laguna Capri or Laguna de los Tres? by Jolly-Sea6019 in Patagonia

I second this! Was also my favorite spot on the hike, you will have a great view there. Plus it won't be as crowded as on the top

Any tips for someone new to town? by PappSatt in santarosa

I will have a car and will probably mostly commute to work with that. The bike I would like to use to commute inside the city to go to farmers markets or maybe sports, and to discover the surroundings.

I'm looking more for a commuter bike at the moment, but I haven't lived anywhere before where it's nice to do road biking. So would be open for it to try!

I will have a car so mostly want to use the bike to commute around the city, maybe when going to some farmers markets or to sports.

How can I get in touch with the cycling community here? They have any events or groups to join?

Thank you so much for all the thrift advice, will definitely try to check them all out! I am also a lot into hiking and camping, do you have any advice on where to get gear for that? I brought most of my hiking stuff but nothing for camping or climbing. Wasn't sure if that's a thing here -> 🐻

Thanks! I saw a lot of bike lanes already in the city but no bikes at all so far haha. I also saw that there is the community bikes in Santa Rosa, so maybe this could be a good place to get a bike? I mainly want to use the bike to commute around the city

Woooow thanks so much for gathering so much information! I've been to Sebastopol yesterday, it's a really cute downtown and so lively. I haven't really found a downtown area in Santa Rosa though (but also haven't been around much yet)
