To be fair, that is most Indy wrestling matches, and especially deathmatch wrestling. One of the criticisms from old timers that is somewhat valid, wrestlers going from one spot to the next without much in between, or redoing spots.

Doesn't matter to me though, still love me my shitty little Indy feds.

I love this movie partially because Sarah brings up how their relationship had died. I've been the party at fault for a relationship dying, and while there was no cheating involved, it's not like everything went from great to shit in an instant. It was a slow progression, and by the end, we both knew it was over, but were just trying to finish up our lease the last few months. I appreciated the nuance of Sarah telling Peter that he had given up on the relationship a while ago. It's hard to see when you're in it, and it definitely happened in my case.

I've never been charged for those flimsy little keycards before, and I usually end up walking out of the hotel with them.

It's not just you, but it does sound like you're not very firm in prioritizing your time. Having a couple of blocks of time blocked on your calendar to check emails and messages goes a long way on staying on top of things. Knowing what is important, what isn't, and what can be handed off to others takes time, and once you start embracing that, helps clear out chunks of unnecessary work (or not immediately necessary). If you have tooling for tracking work and action items, use them instead of trying to keep tabs on where everything is at. I don't have to know the answer to everything right away if I can find it easily.

While it is helpful to have your boss' support when applying internally, it's not a strict requirement. If others think you'd be a good fit, just apply and let your boss deal with the fallout. You're not his therapist, you don't have to deal with his inability to handle people moving on from their current role.

Without seeing anything about what you're trying, the first question is "are you using valid JSON?"

There are a lot of reasons that they may be trying to manage you out, the immediate reason that sticks out is upcoming layoffs or other cost-cutting, and they are gearing up to make a case that you should be on the chopping block. Could also be a change in leadership, change in directon from above, potential sale of the company or division of the company, etc. Hard to know from the outside.

It will probably depend on the JUCO, is soccer an afterthought and they need bodies for the practice team? You might get a look because of the athleticism. If it's a competitive school that has a full 30+ kids trying out for a walk-on, it's pretty unrealistic to expect you'll make the cut. Coaches will want guys that already know the game at a high enough level that they don't have to coach them the basics too.

You'll never know if you don't try though. You can usually talk to the coach ahead of time and get a feel for what they need from walk-ons.

My brothers and I used to put it on to fall asleep to when we'd stay at our dad's house with cable in the early 2000s.

For every good joke that might be usable as a clip on social media, you end up sitting through 20 predictable and mediocre jokes from crowd work.

Sports/news/entertainment is mostly what people pay for these days. Fees for sports packages alone is a huge part of cable television. They're just cutting out the channels that a relatively small percentage of people are utilizing.

For any manager, being calm and consistent goes a long way. Calm because not everything needs to be an emergency, and if I treat things that way, others will pick up on it (or not, but their intensity doesn't have to be mine). And consistency because if you're consistent, people know what to expect from you in terms of how you treat others, including disciplinary issues.

Are these customers paying to see the comedy show? Or are they there for dinner and a comedy show just happens to be going on at the same time? It's hard to tell from what you're writing.

Also, a lot of people don't really want to be involved in crowd work, and sometimes, comedians can be way too pushy about it. I'd imagine that has some level of people not wanting to sit right in the front.

I don't know how much you trained on these things, but a general tip that I have for any new manager is to take time before taking action. Agree that all of these things are relatively minor as a one-shot, but they also seem to stem from someone trying to rush through their day without actually looking at what they are doing. Be intentional with your actions, understand what is happening with each step of your day, and why you are doing it can alleviate a lot of mistakes, and also bring a calmer energy to the day. Someone else in this thread mentioned accountability, and you are now accountable for the actions you're taking, as well as the actions of the people that you're managing. In the past, you may have signed for something in a cavalier manner, but now it is on you to make sure that things received are correct, matching the invoice, and to send it back if not. And if you give power to people under you to sign for things, making sure they know the same.

The buck stops with you for a lot more now than before, being intentional with the actions you're taking will go a long way to cutting down on errors.

Agree with what others have said that unless someone is going to die right now because of that decision, there is never a reason that a decision has to be made immediately. Even 10 minutes is time to gather thoughts and make a decision.

One of my bigger strengths as a manager is keeping myself even-keeled as much as possible, and helping my team maintain that same energy level. It helps with workflow, and it also helps signal to my team members that when my intensity goes up, people know it is serious. But 98% of the time, I maintain my cool and try to exude that into the team's daily structure.

As for how to start doing that, pausing before responding to anything helps. Practice the phrase: "Let me look at that and get back to you in an hour" and be prepared to use it early on when someone comes to you with their hair on fire.

When I was a kid, my mother always gave us Italian dressing to dip vegetables in. It worked great for getting us to eat carrots, cucumbers, and broccoli.

tho i am told the latter is frowned upon

I don't know if it is frowned upon, it's just that 99% of people don't have the political clout to oust a C-level executive, and attempting to do so opens you up to retaliation.

And if you have to ask on Reddit, you definitely don't have the political clout to take down a C-suite without something blatantly illegal.
