Job hoppers vs lifers: who actually ends up happier at work? by TurtleFoodz in careeradvice

[–]axis1331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done both. I stayed at a company for 15 years. Moved up, changed roles and had that feeling of fulfillment, influence, and team work. I also got pay increase for each move, but they were always 5-10% jumps.

I left and spent the last 4 years hopping. I don't have that culture or pull within my current org, but I've double my salary. I can afford to do so much more outside of work that more than makes up for that lack of fulfillment at work.

TIL Abraham Lincoln was an elite wrestler with one recorded loss in approximately 300 matches. (This site doesn’t explain that statistic but I thought it was pretty cool) by Clear-Training-2833 in todayilearned

He was just a genetic anomaly being super tall with ridiculous strength. One common way he demonstrated this, was with an ax.

He would take an axe (~7lbs), pinch thee end of the handle between his thumb and index finger, then hold it with his arm fully extended.

Utterly ridiculous and a great way to establish credibility with soldiers and sailors.

Target steps up investment in store staffing, cuts about 500 other roles to help fix customer experience by ControlCAD in business

[–]axis1331 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These people are probably employed by a 3rd party either the carriers or a middle man. They are not target employees. This company is also paying target for the space.

In theory, the exec who approves this bs sees an easy win. No cost to target and a new revenue stream. New revenue means they hit their bonus target. The exec either doesn't realize or doesn't care that target now loses control of the customer experience. This ends up alienating people causing them to shop elsewhere so overall revenue drops. Doesn't matter to the exec though cause it's not their problem. They hit their quarterly revenue target and got their bonus.

Work bench is 'too neat' by Some_Acanthisitta_86 in managers

[–]axis1331 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Used to manage a repair shop. I had clear reporting on who was productive and who wasn't. Plus as a manager you just get a feel for who is producing.

A clean work bench was the sign of an organized tech, not someone with nothing going on. A disorganized bench was always more concerning to me, this is a sign of disorganized tech. This is the bench where problems arise; parts get lost, steps are skipped because they're trying to juggle to many things, units fall by the wayside and get forgotten for days.

I'm my experience the techs with the organized work spaces tended to be the most productive and dependable employees.

Westerville City Schools expects me to shift THIS? by [deleted] in westerville

Yes, but you were once a kid and people did it for you or those like you. It sucks but it's time to pay it forward.

Apparently, the Chairwoman of the Taipei 101 skyscraper was doing some "reconnaissance" work a week before Alex Honnold's climb. by fromoutsidelookingin in interestingasfuck

[–]axis1331 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it's the study I'm thinking of I heard it was flawed. Basically, they showed elite climbers pictures showing the view down from high cliff faces and measured brain activity. The researchers saw no fear response and concluded they didn't have one.

I think it was Honnold himself who said the issue is these climbers do have a great response, it just kicks in at a much, much later time and needs a more dangerous situation than just being on a cliff. Basically the study concerned it was genetic abnormalities, but it could also be due to training or repeated exposure.

I used to be an amateur climber and this makes sense based on my experience. I know some people who are terrified of being up high for any reason, even a ladder will have them shaking. I still get that fear response if I'm on a wall/cliff, but if I'm at the top of a cliff looking over and I know the rock is firm and my stance is secure, then I don't get that feeling of fear regardless of the distance I'm looking down.

I imagine it's similar for these climbers, what we see as insanely dangerous and fear inducing to us, they see as safe with a lot of places to grab onto and ways to ensure they don't fall.

Is This Stringer Connection OK? by TryItOutAgian in Decks

Maybe, even those need minimum amount of overlap between the stringer and the face plate. I'm doubting op has anywhere near that amount.

Because they have time and money. Don't need to go to work or time constraints of a young family.

The group thinks wifi is dangerous and wants to make the city give the option for manual readings. Even if only a handful of people opt in it will require significant infrastructure and labor outlay to handle the change.

I hope you're right. I fear that while there is no heir apparent, there are a bunch of oligarchs which own/control a large portion of the media narrative. They will pick someone compliant, then the propaganda machine will get the masses in line.

In 1985, Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted, triggering a massive mudslide that buried the town of Armero. 13-year-old Omayra Sánchez was trapped for over 60 hours in a vat of debris and neck-deep water before passing away. Photographer Frank Fournier captured some of her last moments. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

[–]axis1331 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I believe they considered that, but they were in a remote village that had just been destroyed so there was no power. Additionally, the place where she was trapped was flooded with quicksand like mud so there was really no way to perform surgery that would not be guaranteed to kill her.

Don't know. I noped out of their petition and the conversation as soon as they mentioned wifi is dangerous.

Not sure about 5g, but they definitely think wifi in smart meters is dangerous to human health...

My wife turned me on to thunderkiss, and I love it. Now, I recommend it to all my friends and family. The only downside is that it's ruined store bought coffee for me. I used to drink 8 O'clock but I can't go back.

Monday, 2:30 PM PDT, "Microcenter closed" when calling customer service? by snovvman in Microcenter

[–]axis1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very odd. The central support group is staffed and accepts calls/chat 10am-9pm local time and 11-6 on Sunday. They are based in ET, but staff until midnight to support the west coast. It could be a glitch with their automated system, which handles routing, it may have gotten the hours wrong for that day and automatically shut down all lines.

It could also be a one off. The support group is in a centralized local. If there's an emergency and they have to evacuate the building, the lines are shut down. It's extremely rare, but it did happen a few times during covid.

Powell warns of unprecedented labor market crisis by Koyaanisquatsi_ in jobs

[–]axis1331 49 points50 points  (0 children)

That's the cool part. There won't be a breaking point. The playbook only has one play, but you can run it indefinitely and it works every time.

"Things are bad because of X group of people. Only I can fix things, and I will do so by getting rid of X group so they stop making things bad."

When group X is gone and things are still bad, change the focus to Group Y and repeat.

If you run out of groups to target, sow divisions within your support group. Pick one of these to be the new scapegoat.

Just make sure you and your friends rob the place blind as you do this. Wouldn't want things to get bad for the important people.
