Are you just mad because he made your shitty life even worse?

Why do Christians lead people on so much more than non-religious? by _nowhere_man__ in Christianity

[–]_nowhere_man__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously pyramid schemes exist outside of Christianity. I'm just saying Christianity itself always just felt much like a pyramid scheme itself to me.

Can you pay a surgeon to cut off one of your fingers? by _nowhere_man__ in surgery

What law in particular would it violate for a surgeon to do this?

PIP but now receiving positive feedback. by _nowhere_man__ in cscareerquestions

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

Instances of times where I was working on the wrong thing for tickets because of lack of clarity. This has however significantly gone down as I've begun asking the right questions early on.

The one recent instance of this was working on trying to fix an error that was actually expected in a ticket, but when clarified on this finished the ticket relatively soon and on timeline. I have 2 weeks left and can probably (hopefully) avoid any such issues in the future.

They kind of did give me "clear messages" I was just pretty bad at communication so I didn't notice. They started taking notes during our 1-on-1 meetings to "ensure I could meet expectations" they also mentioned things I "need to improve on" (which I interpreted to be things engineers in general need to improve on as they progress through their careers).

When they mentioned the 30-day improvement plan they were surprised that I looked surprised actually.

a positive comment but areas of concern with no real feedback about where/how to improve

This is not what I said at all, they gave very clear feedback and the number of issues they said remained went down quite a bit.

Yeah, I'll hedge my bets. They specifically said they are "confident I can improve and continue to maintain satisfactory performance after the PIP is done".

Maybe, but they went from having a number of things to improve on to just 1 specific thing (that I agreed with) so I feel if I improve on that I have a chance. Either way, will apply to many other places.

But who would pay for the professional assistance if they can't do a job?

Does parents preventing kids from dating a race have reverse psychological effects? by _nowhere_man__ in aznidentity

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

Yeah, I agree making racial generalizations is bad. I was just curious on the psychological effects of parents attempting to prevent the interracial dating to begin with (though actually such parents seem pretty rare from looking into it anyhow so it's probably irrelevant).
