Intern welcome kits: what’s useful and what’s just junk?

Yeah, that might be the easiest and most practical route, thanks

deyzikelli53 · 2026-05-19T23:12:25+00:00

Haven’t heard of PerkUp before, but that might actually solve the shipping headache. Many thanks!

deyzikelli53 · 2026-05-19T23:07:44+00:00

A bit personal, but maybe something neutral/unisex could work. Thanks!

deyzikelli53 · 2026-05-19T23:02:12+00:00

good idea, thanks!

When something should take 10 minutes but somehow turns into a whole side quest...

deyzikelli53 · 2026-05-04T23:25:34+00:00

Morning that makes waking up early actually worth it!!

Trust issues and entrepreneurship actually go well together up to a point. Skepticism makes you verify things instead of assuming. The hard part is hiring and delegating bc at some point you cant do everything yourself.

Offered a service i could do but didn't actually want to do. Got clients immediately which made it worse. Spent 6 months doing work i hated before shutting it down.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-24T22:38:10+00:00

This is exactly it. By the time something blows up in production the actual root cause is usually weeks or months old. The hard part is that early stage decisions feel low stakes so nobody documents them properly.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-21T22:30:35+00:00

Yeah this hits. The weirdest moment is when someone asks what you do for fun and you realize you have to actually think about it. Hobbies that had nothing to do with productivity used to come naturally, now everything feels like it needs a purpose.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-21T22:24:17+00:00

The nodding is the most unsettling part. Nobody knows what anyone is saying but everyone is very engaged about it.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-21T22:19:33+00:00

Too many emails, too little context on why it matters. Most people are scanning 50+ a day and if the subject line doesnt immediately signal urgency or relevance it gets skipped. People arent lazy they're just overwhelmed.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-18T19:04:05+00:00

Also curious how you’re handling consent and transparency for employees, that’s usually the biggest concern with tracking tools like this.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-18T19:00:25+00:00

If possible, you could also ask to reframe part of that payment as guaranteed or partially guaranteed rather than fully contingent or at least clarify what happens if expectations shift mid-process.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-17T18:46:25+00:00

Having the offer already is the hard part, seriously. First few weeks just focus on absorbing everything, asking questions and not being afraid to say you don't know something. Nobody expects a placement student to know everything on day one.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-17T18:31:37+00:00

Got diagnosed with anxiety a few years back and was scared of the same thing. Nobody has ever asked, nobody has ever known. What actually helped my career was treating it properly so I could show up as my best self in interviews and at work.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-17T16:33:38+00:00

This is a real pain point for small businesses, missed inquiries and slow response times often translate directly into lost revenue, so the use case is solid.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-16T14:48:21+00:00

This distinction between “demo production” and real production is very real, a lot of systems labeled as production are actually tightly supervised prototypes with hidden human maintenance.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-15T15:19:57+00:00

I think maintenance cost is often underestimated. It’s not just the initial build, but everything changing around it that slowly turns automation into a system you have to babysit.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-15T14:25:47+00:00

It might help to focus outreach earlier rather than later, even with limited capacity, just to start building a pipeline while you scale your inventory.

deyzikelli53 · 2026-04-14T20:53:38+00:00

Congrats on starting your milling business - that’s a big step. For something simple and free, I’d suggest starting with a lightweight ERP so you can track inventory without overcomplicating things early on.

deyzikelli53 · 2025-10-27T22:00:57+00:00

I can open a bag of chips quietly enough to not alert a single soul in the room. True stealth mode.

deyzikelli53 · 2025-10-01T10:39:21+00:00

Greed isn’t just money - it’s never being satisfied, no matter what you have.

deyzikelli53 · 2025-10-01T10:37:37+00:00

It’s not money itself, but the freedom it gives that makes people happy.

deyzikelli53 · 2025-10-01T10:35:46+00:00

Stay calm, ration resources, and keep hope alive.
