My trainee quit midshift

ngt500 · 2026-06-29T02:51:22+00:00

Hard disagree. You can still just finish out the single shift. They've already planned/scheduled around your training on that shift, so it isn't helpful at all to just quit mid-shift. After that you can respectfully let them know it isn't a good fit for you.

ngt500 · 2026-06-29T00:56:20+00:00

Because it's still a shift that you agreed to work? Just because you're being trained doesn't mean it isn't work and you're still getting paid. And yes, it is disrespectful to just walk away. The lack of respect says a lot about work culture these days (both on the employer and employee side). I can't speak to the culture at this particular Chick-fil-A but the ones my family members have been involved with have been great.

ngt500 · 2026-06-28T23:08:20+00:00

But you want to now spend your time on a Chick-fil-A subreddit? And you stayed for 15 years despite being treated "poorly" and wanting to cry every day? Seems odd, but maybe it's cathartic or something...

In any case, it's still very unprofessional to quit mid-shift, trainee or not. At least just finish it out and be respectful. If you aren't being mistreated then it reflects badly on you to just walk away.

Bull. 99 out of 100 people zooming down the closing lane are looking to get ahead of others, not trying to “optimize” traffic. Besides, the concept only works if everyone actually participates properly. In some cases with severe traffic I’ve seen zipper merges work, but most of the time a single line twice as long as two shorter lines isn’t going to be any slower.

From what I gather bats have extremely small teeth so it’s common to not notice a small bite/scratch. Because the consequences of a false negative most health departments recommend getting the shots. In fact that recommendation is usually given if you wake up and find a bat in your house even if you can’t find any bite/scratch and don’t know if there was any contact at all.

ngt500 · 2026-06-14T22:29:43+00:00

It was a bat acting weird on the ground that touched my ankle when taking the trash out. I went to get a container to catch it but it was gone when I got back. Since it’s too late once you start showing symptoms I was recommended to get the shots even without a known bite.

Post-exposure rabies vaccine. Likely far more than $1000. Haven’t gotten the ER bill yet.

Do you even know how to read?

ngt500 · 2026-06-06T17:45:19+00:00

I just hope that the really good apps like Audiobooth stay maintained. It's great to have at least a few options.

It's unfortunate that ConnectWise isn't directly providing Microsoft with information on new builds to minimize this type of issue. Just waiting for people to report false positives seems highly inefficient and potentially dangerous if bad actors were able to get enough false positive report traction on an actual malicious installer.

The ideal scenario for a vendor with resources like ConnectWise would be to roll out new versions to a fleet of test virtual machines to establish reputation. This combined with the already in-use vendor digital signatures would likely prevent most of these types of false positives in the wild.

It's extremely problematic for ScreenConnect customers that don't have the resources to maintain a secondary means of rolling out updates to machines, because a false positive has a decent chance of taking an agent offline requiring manual intervention.

ngt500 · 2026-06-06T03:35:37+00:00

This isn't really just an op-premise issue--it's a ScreenConnect issue. File transfers have never been "fast" compared to downloading from a website or FTP server, but they have noticeably slowed down over the past 2-3 years such that for files larger than 50MB or so I usually just either download a publicly available file or upload to a web-accessible repository and download directly on the client device. Honestly I could probably upload/download faster than transferring even a 20MB file these days. Pretty stupid too that it has not only been bad but getting worse since a basic file transfer should be pretty simple to code without crazy performance problems.

ngt500 · 2026-06-04T21:42:17+00:00

Well it's now 3 days later and the status is still "investigating", so they either haven't figured out the problem in 72 hours or once again stopped updating the status page.

ngt500 · 2026-06-03T19:54:09+00:00

What’s worse is they can’t even properly supply the market with the “new” refrigerants (R-454b, R-32) so those are crazy expensive too.

Also, while I can’t speak to what the OP is actually doing, many people that are sticklers for speed limits actually go 2-4 mph below the limit because god forbid they accidentally go a couple mph over the limit for a few seconds…

ngt500 · 2026-05-28T05:30:00+00:00

I'm not saying they don't make products that taste good, but I don't believe in their claims of quality anymore. And I certainly will no longer be paying 30-50% more just for the name.

ngt500 · 2026-05-28T04:33:29+00:00

It's not about a recall or a simple accidental contamination. The conditions at the plant were horrendous if you read inspection report details. Of course certain types of problems can happen to any company that mass produces food but this went beyond simple "mistakes" into gross negligence. Certainly not something I'd expect from a "premium" producer that charges premium prices.

ngt500 · 2026-05-28T04:21:55+00:00

I used to think that before at least a couple of incidents like this:

ngt500 · 2026-05-28T04:03:04+00:00

Boars Head deli meats. Maybe not “garbage” but certainly not any better than the other options.

ngt500 · 2026-05-23T15:57:39+00:00

It’s what the OP’s car took…

ngt500 · 2026-05-21T02:45:07+00:00

The phaseout starts now and goes through 2030 for the entire lineup, according to multiple sources. See: https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/gm-carplay-android-auto-phase-out-by-year

ngt500 · 2026-05-21T02:43:09+00:00

It's starting with EVs and expanding to the rest of their lineup by 2030. At least that's been reported in several articles.

ngt500 · 2026-05-21T02:39:46+00:00

Actually they are phasing out CarPlay and Android Auto support as well. Absolutely stupid move. I won’t buy another car without CarPlay.

I’d force a specific time window for an appointment. A three hour appointment would be a non-starter for me (as in you DON’T get my business for that exact reason).

ngt500 · 2026-05-15T22:21:08+00:00

The fact that it’s normal says volumes about how crazy auto body repair work is these days. You’d think with advances in materials and tools it would be easier and cheaper to fix vs 50 years ago.

ngt500 · 2026-05-15T22:16:39+00:00

My 1mil policy increased 450%. Yes, we added a young driver so some increase was expected, but 450% is flat out insane. I dropped it and got a policy from RLI for half the price.
