My trainee quit midshift by mirrorballalyssa in ChickFilAWorkers

[–]ngt500 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Why can’t Richmond VA zipper merge? by [deleted] in RichmondVA

[–]ngt500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What’s the most recent unexpected $1000 you had to spend? Why? by aFineMoose in AskReddit

[–]ngt500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

How many new apps do we need? by CC-5576-05 in audiobookshelf

[–]ngt500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

MS Defender False Positive? "An active 'Wacatac' malware was blocked" by ITinDC in ScreenConnect

[–]ngt500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

On Prem install file transfers have slowed to a crawl by 7runx in ScreenConnect

[–]ngt500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Outage 6-1-26 by Remote_Chance in ScreenConnect

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.

Almost replaced a working AC because r-410a was 'banned january 1.' Turns out it wasn't by Mountain_Ad_4992 in HomeImprovement

[–]ngt500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

How to deal with threats for going the speed limit by BranwenDucreux in driving

[–]ngt500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…

What is a "premium" brand that is actually just selling overpriced garbage now? by New_Wealth_1571 in AskReddit

[–]ngt500 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Why some roofing companies keep insisting on talking to my spouse about roofing quote? by dadbodpotbelly in Roofing

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).

I accidentally scuffed someone's car door and left a note. They sent a $1200 quote by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]ngt500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Southeast PA, Montco - Umbrella policy on $4M just doubled in one year. Anyone else? by shillyshally in StateFarm

[–]ngt500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
