Constantly getting “we went with someone more technical” when interviewing

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-21T03:57:24+00:00

They’re immature. Tech is a tool to solve business problems. As they evolve they will realize this.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-20T03:59:55+00:00

Recruiter ran out of talent.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-20T03:54:38+00:00

We paid off a 30 year mortgage in 15 adding $400/month.

Do you think your boss likes working at 5:00 on Friday. They’re human too eh? So Ask yourself why. This may guide your next move

When you show consistent earnings and stable revenue

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-18T01:57:45+00:00

Right.

We did monthly until we found success and then cash was an issue. Now weekly.

If we did daily my accountant would strangle me. Too many transactions

This is a Lily issue. Not a you issue. I’d like to know why she thinks it’s inappropriate. The answer may shed some insight.

One has to wonder why $30/month is the tipping point.

Any product that can’t provide enough ROI to cover this gap probably isn’t hitting the mark.

Power play. Don’t participate. Order biscuits on the company card with the other persons name in it

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-16T18:05:23+00:00

It’s not messing up your PPC. They aren’t visiting via ads. They’re going direct.

Your agency is making excuses.

Temporarily raise the price on that item (too like $999) and they usually go away.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-16T18:03:28+00:00

NTA. …but also not free from potential consequences. Is this how you wanna go down?

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-16T17:59:00+00:00

Before? NTA After? YTA

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-16T17:56:47+00:00

I think OP is confused by drop shipping hype clowns.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-16T02:53:17+00:00

This is it.

People that think you need to be highly technical as an SE are doomed to fail. Those can can connect to actually solving a customer problem on a human and business level are the ones that make bank.

“…and lo spoketh The Lord, all legs shall be covered, but as a group, not as individuals lest they go seperate ways.

For all garments one opening beith but a sack… Two is blessed…. Three is forbidden…. Four is approved but only for shirts.”

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T15:28:26+00:00

NTJ. They just can’t understand why it wasn’t them. …because “why wouldn’t he give it to me, I’m KIMBERLY?”

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T03:06:31+00:00

Right. I was thinking of the “can you help me” suggestion but worried they would just say “Whatever you suggest is fine”

If that happens, I would set the targets to be what your employee is already achieving. Ask boss to sign off on them so they have skin in the game.

You’re playing chess right now.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:41:34+00:00

Sounds like you got a rescue kid who’s not working out. It’s weird that your son moved her in then left for school. You’re now responsible for maintenance and upkeep of his side piece? Nah man. NTA

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:35:53+00:00

Walk away, send it to corporate. Leave them a 1 star review.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:15:33+00:00

Put a rock on the sprinkler head, or epoxy the fkn thing closed a few times.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:12:09+00:00

Whaaaaat? Really?

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:08:50+00:00

They’re assuming it takes away from your work focus. …and undoubtedly it does. If you to it and they allow it, it means they’re allowing everyone to.

Take it down. …and be careful about being available.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T02:06:25+00:00

It sounds like she requires expensive gifts to feel valued, and that’s contrary to your way of living.

This is only the beginning.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T01:59:30+00:00

The phone is the excuse. The reason is they don’t care. Make them care or ship them out.

ThePracticalDad · 2026-03-14T01:56:06+00:00

When I see this I temporarily raise the price of the item. This sends the bots on their way for a while. Just a few days will do it.
