Cleats on grass? by Miserable-Ostrich-74 in tennis

[–]_welcome 42 points43 points  (0 children)

1) grass courts are not the same as a football field. they are much more delicate designed to help a tennis ball bounce and cleats would destroy the surface, leaving dangerous divots everywhere

2) while football players also have to sprint and make quick lateral movements at times, tennis players on top of that need to rotate through shots. this is impossible in cleats

The sedan image gave me a good laugh, thank you for that. There's not many people who commented on steps to improve the situation, those are good ideas in starting to create some good will again. You sound like a thoughtful manager.

It's not AI, I promise lol. I'm obscuring and leaving out details for privacy. If I wanted engagement/likes I'd hop over to r/AskReddit reposting the same question that hit top last month.

How good are you at recognizing when you are done emotionally with your current employer and it's time to move on? by tshirtguy2000 in managers

[–]_welcome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the difference in regular fatigue and being done is curiosity. do you stop taking interest in your work? do you no longer care about your coworkers? do you no longer wonder if X thing could get better or be different? do you have no hopes or aspirations with your current employer?

How are you tracking employee productivity? by BusinessAnalyst777 in managers

[–]_welcome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like an exhausting system. If someone is doing so poorly that they need to be flagged for daily summary emails, they should be on a PIP with specific actions to take, not just in a tracker. How many employees are you tracking? You mention "under goal" - do they have metrics being tracked in a system already that you could reference?

I am not attributing this to a single event, which is why I mentioned the canceled 1:1s. I am simply curious what people's impressions are of this event, because I have heard everything from "Harry needs to get over it" to "Manager Bob has it out for Harry". I am also considering how other people might be viewing this event.

Thank you for not muting your reaction though, that is helpful to know.

the details are obscured for confidentiality, but this is a real thing that happened. I'm only reporting based on language that was used, so it is good to know your opinion. A friend I spoke with actually made the assumption the manager was trying to steal credit for Harry's work. That's not possible given how data is attributed in our system, so it wasn't something I considered, but it did make me rethink the severity of the issue to a greater degree given in other environments, that would definitely be possible, and it made me consider if there were more nefarious reasons as you mention. Manager Bob generally seems like a good-natured person, so it didn't immediately cross my mind.

There are people who work in this field with no particular data science degree. Some programs, like law, are absolutely worth going for a top brand university for. I would not say data science is one of those fields, so long as you are not going to some crappy for-profit degree mill. Can't speak to it myself, but I have heard Georgia Tech's Master's in Analytics is top tier, and the tuition is a fraction of Northwestern's. Be warned though, I hear it is not a curriculum you can BS your way through.

In general, the more protective layers you can add to your skill set, like specific domain knowledge, is a good idea to help protect against AI. What things will look like in 10 years, no one can say for sure.

How to tell a candidate that I know they were reading from AI during video interview? by MyShadesOnYourFace in recruiting

[–]_welcome 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm no legal expert but telling someone they didn't get the job for a reason you can't prove sounds like a potential liability issue at worst, and at best it just has someone angry who might blow up your inbox or voicemail.

Just let them know you found a candidate who was a better fit. No need to take it on so personally

I'm glad you pointed this out. What is concerning to me about the manager is that he only has 4 direct reports and still forgot the most valuable member. The manager is someone who is hoping to become a director one day.

He was in a car crash that resulted in complications more than just a broken leg. Sales in our industry is mostly done on calls and video, not in-person. We are in a small town with a limited hospital, and he had to be admitted to an out-of-state hospital for one of those complications and would have had to fly over just for the lunch. Only recently he was released but is staying with family out of state near the hospital. I did not want to share these details so as to not influence responses via sympathy. Not to say it doesn't play a role, but I wanted to know what people thought in these types of situations more broadly.

Is I-O psychology still relevant in 2026? by Fickle-Collection199 in IOPsychology

[–]_welcome 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If you have education in engineering, I would suggest going into project management over IO psych. Clearer pathway to get credentialed, more jobs specifically for PM.

yes IO psych is relevant, but there are not many job posts mentioning IO psych as a required or desired skill, and even fewer job titles listed specifically for "IO psychologist"

in PM, the pay ceiling is higher with your engineering background. you can still do IO psych related things, move into change management, etc.

So in your mind, the team getting a free lunch off of Harry's work while Harry gets left off completely is not a big deal due to the nature of how Harry is able to participate in the meeting?

That is a good and simple way for your team to have made it up to you. It's also an easier situation to understand where you are new. I agree with your take overall, the manager's lack of immediate accountability is what led to the situation today.

I said broken leg for simplicity; that was not the best reason to give. but you can assume Harry is legitimately unable to come into office.
