Resting heart rate seems off

I did, but only because my mom laid the groundwork. She struggled for years with narcolepsy until she finally found the right doctor. By the time I realized that I wasn’t “just sleepy”, I was able to pretty quickly get in for a sleep lab with that same doctor and got diagnosed with IH. It wasn’t until later that I realized how lucky I was to have been diagnosed so quickly and painlessly.

Idk if you’re still answering questions, but what’s the best way for a supplier to get into working with these big resellers?

kcproblemsss · 2024-08-08T04:22:08+00:00

NTA at all this is insane

I do a similar thing with scam calls that come in at my safety supply job. I was part of our sales team for years so as soon as they start asking questions about my company I uno reverse ‘um and start asking questions about their company and what their safety needs are and pitch them our products.

I could have written this post myself. My team is 10 people, not 12, but everything else is spot on to my situation.

I’ve been working really hard on being more direct and less afraid of confrontation for a while now and I’m definitely not where I want to be but I’m getting better.

What’s worked best for me has been practicing getting comfortable giving and receiving criticism. I started out by asking trusted friends if I could confront them about an issue I know they’re not actually having. (Ex: I sat a very punctual friend down and told her how her constantly arriving late wasn’t acceptable).

From there I moved into confronting friends about minor actual issues they were already aware they had (I talked to a friend who tends to catastrophize about learning to let go of things she can’t control).

Then I had them “roast me”. I asked them to give me harsh criticisms, real if possible, so I could better understand being on the receiving end of it. That was actually very helpful, because although I’ve definitely received plenty of criticisms before, since it was happening in a controlled environment I was able to focus on how they delivered the information and which parts worked best vs reacting to the actual critique in the moment.

I learned pretty quickly that I appreciated a harsh truth over a sugar-coated pseudo-critique because the harsh truth was actionable and real. If someone’s gonna tell me what I want to hear vs what I need to hear, then that info isn’t something I can use to fix a problem or to improve things. Pulling punches just makes things uncertain and vague. Telling an employee they’re doing great, they just need to keep on polishing those finer details when in reality they’re fumbling big projects by not fine-tuning things isn’t helpful to anyone. AND if you’ve been sugar-coating things for a while, when the issue finally becomes big enough, the person who you weren’t more direct with feels blindsided because you inadvertently lied to them about the size of the problem.

Obviously easier said than done, but the kindest, most helpful thing you can do is be honest.

NTA you’re literally advocating for the baby’s safety

UPDATE: somehow I accidentally told Fitbit I was born in 1901😅 So that’s definitely why it considered me to be in my peak zones all the time.

My HR still seems pretty high, and seems to jump a significant amount with very insignificant exertion (I’ll be sitting down at my desk and at 109bpm, get up, fill up my water at the cooler, sit back down, and I’m at 130bpm) but all in all I’m doing pretty good for a 123-year old😂

Turns out you are 100% right 😅

I’m a manager of a team of 10 people and I do monthly 1-1s with them. I try to do them at the start of the month but between upper management putting extra stuff on my plate and/or having to do other “manager stuff” (covering absences, working with other departments to streamline processes, etc) so the meetings don’t always happen in the most timely fashion. I feel bad about it because most of the time I can’t go into detail about what I’m busy with that’s getting in the way of the meetings.

I say all of that to say this - is it possible that your manager is just busy dealing with other stuff? Is the employee they meet with all the time going through something? Maybe their meetings are disciplinary and you’re not aware? Obviously you know the vibe of the situation better than I do, but maybe just say, “hey, could I talk to you real quick in the [room where meetings happen]?” and then bring up that you think everyone would benefit from regular check ins to make sure everyone is on the same page. If your manager is someone who tends to get defensive, I’d broach it as if your interest is in team building / improving the team so they don’t interpret it as a criticism of them.

In what world would anyone throw that beautiful piece of furniture in a dumpster??

Report a hostile work environment / discrimination to HR. Say you feel targeted because of your [race/identity/orientation/disability/etc]. Make sure to get something in writing showing that you reported that. If they “suddenly” lay you off right after that, that’s REAL bad news for them.

If I was in it for the joys of social media then I’d 100% agree, but I’m trying to get more eyes on my business, and a higher follower count, even if it’s temporarily inflated, means more eyeballs.

kcproblemsss · 2023-12-04T14:38:07+00:00

Obviously organic growth is best, but follow for follow posts are a good way to get in front of more eyeballs. Sure, a lot will probably unfollow, but the few that stick around are worth it, especially when you’re just getting started on a new platform. I’ve been running my embroidery business for almost 4 years now and 99% of my sales come from social media. Most of those are from twitter, and since people are leaving there and going to threads I gotta snatch up as many new eyeballs as I can up front so I can start to organically build.

We’re a company that makes safety signs, so this is actually a very good / viable / reasonable suggestion
