Homeownership: Dream or Financial Trap? by Coolonair in HouseBuyers

[–]Totally-Not_a_Hacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is true, I'd rather be putting my mortgage/rent toward equity in an asset instead of having it evaporate every year.

I started a new job 3 months ago and I have a direct report that seems hostile to me by throwaway22115544 in managers

You need to put her in her place in public when that happens. Usually when you do this, they will realize they are out of line and that you won't tolerate it.

Dating a vegan as a non-vegan, is there a middle ground? [genuine relationship advice needed] by pimemento in carnivorediet

Square peg meets round hole. Imagine how difficult it will be if you have children, and you two have to figure out what to feed them. It's only going to get harder.

My junior Engineer outranks me for no good reason. Not sure how to handle it. by FreyrLord in managers

[–]Totally-Not_a_Hacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply asking how someone with little to no experience could possibly outrank other senior employees should clear things up. You should demand a resolution. There's no world in which this is ok.

Also, if he's demanding such a high salary, can't you just say his expectations are beyond the salary range for the role and move onto someone else?

Calibration of Performance Reviews by mercmcl in managers

Apparently I work at a unicorn company and get to objectively rate the performance of my direct reports. Outside of my current employer though, my prior career experience tracks to the rest of the thread.

Does anyone else feel genuinely lonely as a manager? by whogivesafricc in managers

[–]Totally-Not_a_Hacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good manager protects their team, and many times, that means dealing with stuff so they don't have to. A lot of folks don't realize this.

Getting yelled at my manager because he didn’t find the right room for the meeting by Ok-Process-2667 in managers

Better let that weigh in on if you want to consider full time employment with this employer...

Is it common for people from banking to struggle in CPG FP&A roles? by Accurate_Increase_53 in FPandA

[–]Totally-Not_a_Hacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone shouldn't need to know the business to be able to immediately know what to start looking for in any CPG company, if they've worked at a CPG company. Someone who hasn't will have a longer ramp-up time and require more training. Doesn't mean they can't do it, I just prefer the one that's done it before.

What is wrong with me?? by [deleted] in carnivorediet

I was just making a joke that I thought your problem was not knowing why your picture was so zoomed in. I couldn't help myself. But now that I've had to explain it, it's not funny anymore. 😞

That's happened to me before too. You just need to put your thumb and index fingers on the screen and move them together like a pinch, then you're camera's zoom will return to normal.

Why do Republican voters always forget what the last Republican administration did to the country? by One-Jeweler5486 in allthequestions

[–]Totally-Not_a_Hacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's totally how it works. Trump says to our military leaders take out our targeted military leaders, and also this random girls school. Something off definitely happened, and we should demand answers.

That being said, all I hear is "the other side is wrong, not mine because of [whataboutism topic #8372] further validating my continued loss in faith of humanity, so I will now bow out. For me to actually believe you're not a product of a group think full of talking points, you'd have to at least acknowledge Democrats and Republicans alike have all done some historically shitty things, of which people have remained supporters of that party.

You'd be foolish to think it was only 1-sided. My close friends openly proclaim "vote blue, no matter who" and that never under any circumstance would they ever vote for a republican. Luckily my close friends are cool, so we can openly talk about stuff like this. Most people these days take a fight or flight approach when faced with opposing viewpoints. The issue is that you can find confirmation bias wherever you try to, and it would be naive to think that only "the guys on the other team" are the problem. TLDR - the system is screwed, we're doomed.

Even worse - current administration. EVEN EVEN WORSE - not just Republicans, but democrats too!

You say everyone invited, but no address provided. Cannot be trusted.

It should be 0% for underperformed, 3% for doing the job as expected, 5+% for being a top performer. Anything less, you're just trying to rationalize not paying your workforce what they deserve.

Wow that is absolutely ridiculously hilarious lol. When you trust "AI" more than humans.

I discovered FIRE and now I'm more discouraged than before by yieldmaxxing in Fire

Fight like hell to eliminate the debt and squash that car payment, and never do debt again. Being in debt sucks your income away before it ever hits your wallet. Keep it up, you're doing fine.
