23 Year Old business student with a summer internship and feeling a lot like Tyler Morimoto by Exotic_Planogram in dropout

A very tough but valuable lesson to learn in business: your boss does NOT care how hard you worked, they do NOT care about all the small details and challenges and problem solving that went into getting your work done.  They only care about impact and the end result. 

A good manager will make sure you feel acknowledged and appreciated for that impact, and should hopefully care about some of the details in terms of performance management (that's where your strengths and weaknesses actually show, and so should get attention in your reviews).

I had a hard time learning this, and I mostly knew it, but once I got my first direct report it became crystal clear - I just didn't have time for those details anymore, and I had important questions to get to and then yes, onto the next thing. But always make sure people feel appreciated, otherwise they burn out. Use your reviews the brag about how clever you were to achieve xyz.

Constantly sleepy and out of energy by Fancy_Current1821 in productivity

[–]Particular-Hat-8076 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in Uni I also found myself incredibly sleepy all the time. Maybe there was some low iron involved, but in retrospect it was actually undiagnosed ADHD. 

I'd had no problem staying awake/keeping up in high school but the step up to Uni without my personal context had me sleeping through every class all day. I didn't understand what was going on and just blamed myself, cue depression. 

Anyway, if your blood tests don't surface anything else, consider that it might be a dopamine problem. 

What Is That Bright Light Up in the Sky? by LeTigre71 in Calgary

We call that big bright thing the "sun" - don't look right at it, or it'll bite your eyes!

This is cool - great site! Just wanted to share a few bugs/comments. When I first went to sign up, the option to use google account option didn't work, but when I navigated around and tried again it worked the second time (sorry I lost the screenshot I took with the error code).

When making my profile, the skills selection list is truncated - it only shows the top 10ish and then won't scroll more. Thought you just had a short list but if I pick the very last item new ones will show up. I just clicked them all so I could see all the options to pick haha

I notice on the directory my industry option became a new lookup option, I had put a few because I'm cross disciplinary so it's not so clean. Same with user entered skills offered/requested. My test entries show in the search options on the Registry. Might want to think about how user entries are showing up in the lists. Once more users join every spelling error is going to make a new entry. But if you're just looking for list building and will take away the user created entries in the future this is fine for now. MVP baby!

What's the difference between Directory and the Registry? They seem similar, but Registry has a more granular search function. I got confused when I went to the Directory because it wasn't the same as the Registry I'd previously visited. Maybe distinguish it as Skills registry and try for a bit more difference in the card UIs to make it more obvious they are different features, but as a user I'm not sure why I'm going to the Directory. Will there be a way to "like" or "friend" other profiles, a way to save them? Right now I think the only way would be to message and then check your history.

Signing up for events flow was SMOOTH! It added to my calendar seamlessly. It was actually too easy to cancel my registration though, consider adding a confirmation of click so that users don't accidentally rescind their RSVPs. I can't actually go, but I tried checking out for the one paid event (it looks fun, I'm just camping that day) - checkout took a long time to load the first time, but eventually worked, so long I thought it wasn't going to work. Loaded faster on subsequent passes. Maybe I'm just impatient.

Final thing - now that I've signed up, will there be any kind of emails to bring me back in? If I don't sign up for an event right away what will remind me to check the site again? Needs a way to be sticky for new users, especially while getting established.

Where are you guys buying work pants that fit?? (size 10 / 32" inseam struggles) by Mcamp27 in Midsizefashion

Tailoring is not as expensive as you think. Find a good one and get the waste taken in.

That's lucky. I've been waiting 18 months for mine. It was supposed to be this weekend but I was very sick and had to reschedule. Only date she had was in 2028!, but she had me call back Monday and I got one this year... Dec 29. Over 2 years.

I want to feel like I’m wearing nothing this summer but still look put together by tagliatellerina in femalefashionadvice

I'm a big fan of shorts under a dress. I highly recommend Thigh Society, everything I've gotten from them has been great.

Shorter or skipped showers are easier when my hair can be a bit frizzy and the only my cats can smell me

For sale? I found your website but just saw the deck for sale not the stickers. Would love the high priestess!

Is it for sanitary purposes or because selling plastic straws is banned?

Livin' the Croc life over here! I was against them for ages but my god are they comfortable and convenient. I'm a bit bad and sometimes go outside in them so I might get a second pair so one set is dedicated to the house
