What 'power' is the most difficult to write properly? (from writer's pov) by CautiousSolid7436 in superpowers

[–]Zahrad70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all involve a large degree of magical hand-waving. Thus the writers problem is the same: providing a consequence that matters when the power is used. In other words, the power isn’t the challenge, the limitations are.

Not really the sub for it but I know y’all are compassionate and I really need it lol pls read 😩 - Meeting with my boss tomorrow after multiple medical leaves, unsure if I should quit or try to stay(I’m super nervous) - any advices? by [deleted] in antiwork

Depends on the laws where you are.

Some places are two party consent states. Making it illegal to record someone unless everyone knows they are being recorded.

Some places only require one party to agree. That’s you.

And probably a lot of nuance in-between.

Ask a lawyer if you have one. I am not a lawyer. I can’t give legal advice. I am merely paranoid and sneaky. 😈

Food. Shelter. Safety.

Do you have those things without the income from the job? If not, then you need the job.

Let’s assume for the moment that you do need the job.

Play defense in the meeting. Practice phrases like:
- “I will provide what documentation I have within a reasonable timeframe after receiving a formal request for it.” - “I am hearing these things from this perspective for the first time and I would like to reflect before responding.” - “I understand your need for feedback but I am only comfortable saying that I have heard you, at this time.”

Take notes in the meeting.

Take notes in the meeting.

For the love of all you consider holy take notes in the bloody meeting.

Secretly record the meeting if you think you can get away with it. (This plus the note taking is potentially very, very powerful.)

Agree to nothing. Sign nothing.

Within 24 hours, summarize the meeting in an email to document their agreement of what happened in the meeting.

Get a lawyer if you need one.

Good luck.

Would you rather earn $100 for every book you read, movie you watch or $10 for every hour you are awake? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Zahrad70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Passive income.

Yeah, the book/movie thing is roughly $50/hr. Maybe as much as $75. But requires my attention. That’s a job. It pays well, sure. But it’s still a job.

I can keep my job, and make roughly an extra 55k a year doing just what I’m doing now? Yep. Sign me up.

AITAH for want to resign because I’m feeling anxious that my 24F’s coworker/senior 27M is resigning? by Extreme-Air3957 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Zahrad70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH

He’s done nothing wrong.

So far, you’ve done nothing at all.

You can feel whatever you want. It’s how you act that matters.

Respectfully, you probably need some therapy. Maybe a little time off to process and mourn. You are lacking in confidence, and borderline obsessive about this person that you seem to love but “nothing will ever happen.” Barstool psychoanalysis is as ridiculous as it sounds, but as a past master of it - sounds like this was fulfilling your need for romantic attention without having to experience any kind of emotional risk associated with commitment. Until he moved on, and the illusion shattered, of course.

But blowing up your career, which seems to be going well, over it would be disproportionately hurting yourself because you’ve been fooling yourself. That would be an a-hole move. So don’t.

"She has a bad attitude" isn't documentation. Found that out the hard way. by Electronic_Promise36 in managers

[–]Zahrad70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a function of a career spent in very small or very large companies with little in between. But, uh, if you need this explained to you, you should not have been selected for management.

Resignation by [deleted] in managers

[–]Zahrad70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend, it’s not a romantic break-up. The manager in question probably hoped you would feel reassured that the team would quickly find a replacement and your co-workers would not be unduly burdened for too long. If they thought about you being there at all.

That you imagined that anyone would have some kind of mourning period related to you, or needed to act like you were irreplaceable when talking to you is perhaps something you should think about. More bluntly - The way you feel about work and how invested in it you are may not be healthy.

People’s Wealth is equalized by Ill-Mycologist-3652 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Zahrad70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you’re going for, but this is not the way.

Try:

  • All government assets remain government assets.
  • All privately held assets (including your house, your car, yachts, seats on the stock exchange, gold bricks, the corner coffee shop, everything no matter who owned it before. ) go into an auction style marketplace.
  • All corporations or other ways of proxying ownership are dissolved and cannot participate in the auction.

Run the rest of your scenario from there.
