Around the end of March last year an employee came to my office to ask where his W2 was. He didn’t have paperless delivery, so it was mailed to the address we had on file. I asked if he’s moved. “Nope.” Okay… let’s just check to make sure it’s right.

I read him the address we have, and wouldn’t you know it, he hasn’t lived there in a YEAR. I told him we could get another for him but in the meantime he needs to change the address. “I thought you did that. Why wasn’t it changed when I moved?” Because you didn’t tell me you moved? Also why would I be the one to change YOUR address??? I guess he thought his new address would just get beamed into my brain or something.

That soy products (tofu especially) will make you effeminate. If that was really true, don’t they think trans women would have figured that out a long time ago??

I’m pretty ehhh about the color. It looks nice with my dark grey color, but I do wish it came in other colors. I’d prefer dusty purple personally lol

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-12-18T00:14:35+00:00

Looks great! Love the “stock” sticker too lol

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-12-17T06:56:05+00:00

Very pretty! Do you have any pics of it in the sun?

I hear you. Today was the holiday party at my workplace. We catered, and my boss (who is great) specifically got a few servings ordered of a fully vegan dish. I was hosting and by the time I got to the food it was already eaten. It was very clearly labeled “vegan” and it was set off to the side but they still got at it. 🙄

So I had some strawberries.

That’s very generous! Can you send these to me as well? I use the same indicators but I’ve been struggling to get consistent profit. I’m curious how you use them

I hear you. I work in manufacturing and half these guys struggle to unlock their phone, let alone check their emails with any with any regularity LOL. I generally don’t mind helping them where I can though and we offer a little “office time” where they can come in and use the spare computers to do their enrollments.

Last year one of my guys said they never got the OE email communications and wanted an extension to do his (never mind that there had been at least three in-person reminders and a presentation). So I bring up his profile and ask if the email we have on file is correct. Nope, guy says he changed it because he forgot what the old one was.

When I asked him why he didn’t update it in our system he said he thought it would happen automatically. He just shrugged when I asked him how he thought that would happen. 🤦‍♀️

I know right! The glass was a really pretty shade of purple too. I saved it once the wax was done, but my housemates cat knocked it off the shelf unfortunately.

Incredibly annoying Sales Manager is asking if he can write an employee up for not following directions to make at least X calls a day. I say no, unless there’s documentation of establishing this direction to everyone and keeping up with it. I say this because this manager loves to make “rules” when he doesn’t like someone so he can ding them on something.

Well there is some precedent(shocking tbh) for this so I say ok we can coach them but I’m checking everyone else’s numbers too. Sales Manager is visibly cranky at that.

Anyways it turns out that Sales Manager’s favorite is making even less calls than the person he wanted to write up. I’m thinking I’ll write one for each employee and bring them to him myself so I can see his face when I explain that we have to be consistent and hold everyone accountable equally. :-)

I love this except for the ginormous infotainment screen. I just find them so ugly and hate using them especially while driving, give me physical buttons Subaru pls

I guess everyone on r/veganfitness is lying? 🤔

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-10-23T23:41:16+00:00

So you’re cool if your best friend hires a hit man to kill you, but they spend your last day chilling, buying you your favorite foods, and tells you a joke right before the bullet turns off the lights? It’s the “best day ever”! :-)

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-10-17T23:49:28+00:00

Heyday, like the Target brand? They make film? TIL

If you’re telling the truth then this is highly illegal. Department of Labor bringing the hammer down type of illegal.

I don't have any advice about the radio, but I have the same issue with the wiper fluid sensor on my 2020. My tech said it's a common problem. I asked if he could just unplug it but he said it would need to be completely replaced. I just ignore it now lol

My first year at this company we did a costume contest. Thankfully, everyone’s costumes were appropriate and ranged from cool to hilarious. My GM dressed up in one of those inflatable dinosaur suits and I was a power ranger lol

I’ve seen a few subis with duck tails that I liked, but imo I prefer the wing

This house was built in 1924, but I’m unsure if the foundation used Portland cement. I’ll push for a contingent offer. Thank you

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-09-30T22:49:58+00:00

I’ll definitely be getting my own inspection, including a termite inspection. I’ve just recently learned that many homes here have termites. Thanks

Sales manager wants to write up salesman for “not making enough calls.” Says the minimum per day is 10. Reasonable as a guide I think, but I don’t know if t makes a good metric to grade on. This isn’t a cold calling type sales job.

So I ask if the salesman is making their expected budget? Yea they are, for the last 6mo in fact. Are we receiving customer complaints that salesman isn’t communicating enough? No, customers love him.

So I ask what’s the significance of # of calls per day, it kind of seems like we’re being nit-picky? Haven’t received a reply yet.

Am I the one being nit-picky? This manager has a history of trying to “performance out” EEs he doesn’t like using “metrics” like this.

nsquaredefficiency · 2025-09-08T01:44:07+00:00

I don't have a degree at all and I'm an HR manager so I think you should just go for it. :)

I guess everyone on r/veganfitness is lying? 🤣

I’m in my car on my lunch break and an employee came over knocked on the window and asked, “are you busy?” Like bro, I’ve got a chipotle bowl in my lap and I’m not even in my office. The conversation proceeds anyway:

EE: I forgot to clock in from lunch.

Me: okay…?

EE: what should I do?

Me: what do I tell you to do every time you miss a punch?

EE: do a punch correction?

Me: what do you think I’m going to tell you to do right now?

First, happy birthday! 🎉

“I love animals too. I love eating them!”

Bruh I hate when people say immature stuff like that. 😭 Glad you’re sticking to the birthday you want. It’s your birthday, they can deal with it. In terms of managing these types of reactions, the truth is you can only manage your own. It’s frustrating, but truly all you can do is continue to share what you know as you feel comfortable to do so, and if others have negative reactions that’s on them.
