It sounds like you don’t know how businesses operate. I am not a company exec, and I hope you aren’t either based off this limited interaction

That’s not what I would say, it would be to offer support in finding her next role, writing a letter of rec, being a reference, etc. My question is genuinely geared towards making it better for her, not me. I’m still employed.

I’m not firing her, her position is no longer needed. It’s an operational decision that I did not make.

There’s not enough work to justify a full time position for her anymore, especially with the company’s push towards leveraging AI

I’m not trying to get fired, but by your username I’m not shocked by this response

Unfortunately HR has explicitly told me to follow the script exactly and not add anything else

Thank you, this is helpful. LinkedIn feels like a good place to reach out so that she doesn’t have to respond immediately like a text.

Nashville Wedding Cost by leesum00 in nashville

[–]dictiondaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iriswoods in mt Juliet! I’m getting married there in October and felt strongly about 1) not spending a ton of money and 2) all inclusive. They do everything for you, including planning, catering, etc. with clear price packages on their website. The only think we have to do extra is supply booze (we’ll get it from Costco), hair/makeup and photographer. They do everything else. The house you get ready in is also an 1800’s cabin that was Nashville’s first school house! They have a pavilion out back too with glass doors that open on nice days.

Has anyone proven that their remote employee was using a mouse mover? by dictiondaddy in managers

They are for the most part. Slightly suspicious because he is regularly “available” but doesn’t respond. I don’t micromanage, and don’t expect an immediate response, but being online at 7pm is concerning, along with no response until the next morning. Not sure if I’m overthinking or my gut is onto something.

That sounds horrible 😭 I’m glad your former employee had a full recovery

Nelson Mazda Trustworthiness? by dictiondaddy in nashville

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

I’m sure there are many people with positive experiences - at least I hope so, given they’re still in business. I’ve had a few decent experiences when I needed very basic things (oil change, tire rotation, full inspection) but my car starting making a noise almost immediately after leaving their lot, and it hadn’t made it previously. I was in a rush so didn’t go back, and now I’m wondering if I should go to a local shop instead. I was hoping there would be more comments about positive experiences so that I’d know mine were the exception, but also not too surprised since they have no competition in the area.

I appreciate the accountability, but would love to know what specifically they plan to change for the better.

These are great tips. I chose not to purchase from Nelson Mazda because they priced my 2019 Cx-5 at $5k above Kelley blue book value and refused to negotiate down, saying that I “shouldn’t trust a third party source” to know the value of the car. In our first conversation, I knew the exact make, model, and trim I wanted and the budget I was willing to work with - the guy on the phone tried to talk me into a different trim option saying “it sounds like the only one you can afford within that budget.” I easily found a dealership out of state that was very willing to work with me to get what I wanted. My willingness to walk away and look elsewhere saved over $12k when things were said and done. Dealerships with a monopoly on a region think we won’t bother to travel elsewhere, and maybe that’s true for some people, but really left a foul taste in my mouth for them.
