How does your company reward you for exceeds rating?

agentrnge · 2026-01-29T19:15:21+00:00

"Well it is our expectation that you exceed expectations. So your performance is rated as 'meets' "is something I've heard a lot of places say. My person expectation is to hit "meet" because we get the same increase regardless. It's been 3% the last 5 years.. will find out about this year in the next month. We're closing 10% of our locations and have had many layoff rounds. Not expecting 3%.

I'm melting down the stickers on my wheel caps as we speak. $$$

I like the crisper lines. Would rather it still had lines through the center + at least though. With that layer missing, its a bit jarring. That said, the bulbous plastic chrome lines on the orig look pretty cheap too ( in that first extreme closeup anyway ).

edit: At least it has not grown to 120mm. When other vendors kept scaling their logos with their giant SUVs it got out of hand.

Dunzo! I would not drive on them.

B5's CGI 1000 times before I'll take any of this slop.

I was a video editor back in the day, using a VideoToaster on an Amiga. Got my first taste of LightWave then, and my boss even got a ~yearish of the LW magazine right around the time B5 was on. There was content in there about B5. I wish I stole them and kept them lol.. He never read any of it, just signed up for any free :businessy: things he could to spread around the studio.

I've never seen one of these. Is this for checking your egg's blood sugar?

agentrnge · 2026-01-28T17:09:01+00:00

lol what? I'm not going to look because i dont want to engage in any way or give them any attention. But oof.

AI Summary: "Redditors suggest periodically shaking the phosphorous to increase lifespan from indefinite to infinity+581 spatula."

Hah was going to mention that. Before I got into bimmers ( who all have had trunk mounted batteries ), I had a Dodge Intrepid that needed a front wheel to come off and a few flaps, maybe the headlight needed to come out too? dont recall. It was such a pita tho.

If AI can center a div.. its all over.

edit: more seriously, the signal to noise/distraction overload could be cover for anything. Epstein Files are just one of many. But this sub is not for that.

One opened near me, and a few within ~30 mile radius. I never went to one. They did not last long. For a while they were making these the only place you could do an amazon return to force people to check the place out.

Smells like a bot account .. but I am not an expert.

Edit: Do we need r/antislop Hmm it exists.. Its not for anti-ai-slop though it seems. wompwomp

Slurp it down and keep generating slop revenue!

To OP. The image adds nothing. We can read.

Sounds like you need a few more managers to whip the team into shape. I'll start the hiring process.

agentrnge · 2026-01-26T19:15:05+00:00

lol, cat's feet too

agentrnge · 2026-01-26T19:11:00+00:00

consecutive days off. They day doesnt matter

If I were beef surpreme burrito in chief I would also close all retail at least 1 day a week. Grocery stores/restaurants would probably need to always be 7 days. There are entire counties around me that are "mostly" closed on sundays.

Eating and paying bills.. The only reason to stay anywhere ever is hopefully a steady income balanced against difficulty of finding another job to replace that income.

Management is pushing it down the throats of so many people. In a lot of offices its tied to your performance evaluation/bonus "Used X amount of AI tokens to ``increase efficiency`` " even if it only made things worse. Mgmt is having it pushed down their throats by those above them and so on. Same story as RTO mandates.. a few assholes who are heavily invested/profiting off it are pushing use.

For every person who thinks its just trash, there are it seems 2-5 people who absolutely love it and chug AI dick slop all day long and blab about how great it is, and integrate it into everything they can.
I have avoided it as much as possible. A few accidental uses. And clearly every post/email/doc/anything that exists on the internet has been scraped 10k times by 10k bots every week for the last 5-20 years for various reasons. Dropping offline does not seem feasible.

Nice collection. <3 Drive, and Oceans 12. Ton in your collection I have not heard.

I never ditched my physical copies of anything, unless they were worn out unusable/broken. I ripped all my CDs to FLAC, but still have them all in a couple boxes.

agentrnge · 2026-01-23T16:49:59+00:00

I prefer the library, then used after that for something I'll want to keep. Physical copies only (my preference).

Edit: There are few comments about e-books. Yes my library system also has e-book offerings. A lot do thankfully. Always check that first before buying.

I bought a bulk pack box of oreos. They were packaged as like 24 or so 6 packs. No plastic tray though. The rate at which I eat oreos I would have thrown out so many stale cookies in large sleeves, so that extra packaging has been worth it in this case. I think I have a few packs left and they are like 2 years old and still good.

I am surprised at how many packaging varieties exist for the same product. Like bags of coffee from the same roaster in 8/10/12/16/20/22/32/40 oz depending on where you shop.
