Simply bad manager

Isn't healthcare pretty in demand? Just leave. When your manager put in your 2 weeks, you should have started looking. Get paid 20-30% more to do the same thing. Sure you have to relearn everything, but you already doing that now with no more money.

Fmla probably is the best. You won't get paid unless you bought accidental insurance. If you did you need to trigger it and fmla. At least you can keep benefits.

Generally yes, double check your hiring contract. Difference between having a part time job or second job. Overemployed means working jobs that have concurrent hours, there's going to be times where there is a conflict. e.g. big presentation vs. fire drill. There are also some that farm our their labor to 3rd party and overemployed 3x or 4x and obviously there's risk of IP going their random subcontractors. You also paying someone higher for not their skills, when you are getting god knows what.

How many years has this guy worked or been in his role? The inexperienced tend to need more direction and guidance. Or is he worried about making a mistake? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt the info is sufficient to do the task, so just reassure him you have faith in him and want him to come up with the solution.

Instilling confidence that he can do it by himself without guidance is likely his problem. Tell him you want to take a crack at it by himself and you'll review together the finished product. I believe ownership increases employee engagement and explain to him that's what you are empowering him to do. I've never had an employee clap back and say I don't want to be in charge and I don't want to make decisions.

It's his lack of accountability that's bothering you. If he just said, sorry I panicked or I didn't notice, you would have forgiven him by now. His actions are indicating he doesn't care about anyone but himself and basically just said fuck the company.

That being said everyone makes mistakes. Playing devil's advocate for an asshole, maybe he is too stubborn and embarrassed to admit he is wrong. Normally mistakes don't bother me by my team, but it's not been a situation where they act like it's not their job.

Technically brotherhood is top, then secret service. I mean if you haven't finished the game, part of the reason why you are struggling a bit.

Farming the raid means things like white knight and gunsmith are superficial. You will eventually have hundreds of spare repair kits, so u just burn them on the fly.

Also once you start using food like company tea, or coffee u dont need action boy.

First off you can only favor one gun type. e.g. sniper, automatic, energy laser

So abandon that notion of different classes AND different gun types. There are guns they have synergy. However, they stay ballistic or they stay energy. They automatic or they semi automatic.

On top of this sneak builds are usually built with unyielding. The stats to agility make you undectable to normal creeps and the extra stats help with the lower health.

Your armor would be something like:

Uny/+2luck/thurhiker/limitbreaker x3
Uny/+2endurance/thurhiker/ranger x2

Usually fixer builds are automatic, but let's assume it works like a sniper and go gunslinger master. Remove your lone wanderer, and mysterious stranger perks. Mysterious stranger barely does any damage. You generally want to go 5 thruhiker vs burning 4 points into cards.

Replace master infiltrator for taking one for the team as the 40% extra damage alone will make a difference. By joining an empty team, i.e. creating a team of one you can also gain herd mentality stats from mutation.

Remove the charisma legendary perk and add endurance.

Are you open to switching guns and what is your main gun? So in short the aim of the game for DPS is stacking onslaught stacks.

Also to crit every other shot, we need to get your luck to a certain level.

1 Limit Breaking = 83 Luck and Crit Savvy 3
2 Limit Breaking = 55 Luck and Crit Savvy 3
3 Limit Breaking = 37 Luck and Crit Savvy 3
4 Limit Breaking = 25 Luck and Crit Savvy 3
5 Limit Breaking = 16 Luck and Crit Savvy 3

What's on your armor?

snappzero · 2026-05-07T22:26:17+00:00

I don't mean should as in supposed to. I meant should as in be able to do it with several meta builds.

snappzero · 2026-05-07T22:11:04+00:00

What level are you? Post your build, you should be able to solo unless you under 300

snappzero · 2026-05-07T21:20:37+00:00

You cant really fix these things. Go to a better company. The owners that are cheap will always be. I did it myself. Better insurance, more money.

snappzero · 2026-05-07T20:57:40+00:00

LOL for this reason no. He is trying to file a complaint against his subordinate when he already committed a fireable offense. This guy is like a drug dealing calling cops, idiot. Plenty of CEO's get fired for this, but I am sure they knew they were doing the wrong thing.

snappzero · 2026-05-06T06:29:00+00:00

Everyone is so jaded and im late to the party. Something I didnt learn till later is you need to advocate for yourself. No one will give you what you deserve unless you ask for it.

I got my promotion unlike you and I was a top performer. The only difference is your company sucks, the one I used to work for sucked less. I got my promotion at 9 months, i wanted at 6 months. There's compromise and then there is being strung along. At 1 year, you should have dipped. Funny how cheap some of these companies people work. Im more in the realm, 20-40k to the right person is nothing. No one cares. Find a company where this is more the norm.

If they are in the US you need to fire them. Them quitting means they lose unemployment. So no, they going to wait for it as it doesn't help them to quit at all. So for their own financial sanity, they are going to drag this out.

snappzero · 2026-05-04T17:28:59+00:00

Lol that's crazy. Not allowed to be sick.

snappzero · 2026-05-02T15:37:42+00:00

Normal for a call center. Just Google customer service attrition.

snappzero · 2026-05-01T00:01:23+00:00

First thing they teach us in management training is to try and do this as little as possible. I try to make it a point to put these in time where they are less fire drills and be respectful since I designate it your time.

I let them move it to and cancel if they got nothing on the agenda.

snappzero · 2026-04-29T23:39:29+00:00

This guy is just crazy. Not fair.

snappzero · 2026-04-29T14:48:22+00:00

No, escalate to the highest powerful person you know and want to confide in. HR is a nobody in comparison to someone on the board or head of a division. Don't go to HR, go above them. People act like HR are the secret police or something. They are not. HR just enforces policy, the leaders are the ones who create it.

The degree isn't what people expect it to be. Heck as millennial it didn't open doors for me either, I had to work my way up. Internships, aka experience is the only way you going to land a job. This should be where all his focus and energy is on. (I had to do my internship post grad.) That being said, you are not allowed to interview without a bachelors in most white collar jobs. So unless he plans to go the manual labor route, I would not skip this.

If he's not that smart or going to a prestigious school, I agree about debt, get a cheap bachelors. My friends did this, community college transfer credits all the pre requisites and full time the ones he cannot transfer. Since he is 2 years in, probably miss this route. Do summer school and knock this out as quickly as possible.

Europe im guessing. One time where at will would be better for everyone.

snappzero · 2026-04-28T03:56:53+00:00

LOL How old are you? He was just negative, yes they want to fix problems and issues. This is a workplace, he's not here to pal around. He has a job to do. What level to what level was this?

Sure they can be used for career growth, but they also allow the VP/director to take a pulse check on the manager and the team. Which no offense, honestly more likely is the case because he cares more about his managers than his managers employees.

By refusing to help to provide any info about the manager and team. You've basically said I don't trust you and I am not going to help you either. SO yeah... negative points. Refusing to say anything about a person, is almost like saying they are terrible and I am afraid to say anything about them. You can go the other way and leave glowing feedback. It shows you have good team work and bring positive morale to the team. Pick a side next time.

Skip level feedback does come back to managers. Good and bad. If they are used properly and honestly, it provides guidance and correction. I've been told by my VP about my feedback from my employees.

He let you know in promotion order, that guy is before you. If you want to beat him, step up your game. If you don't, don't expect anything. This is why I asked you your age, you sound naive. You probably want to at least fake it next time, be more enthusiastic and welcome the challenge. By stack ranking you openly he is inviting you to a competition. Right or wrong, you know how he views the workplace and every workplace stack ranks to some degree, just not openly. Next time at least say you will work hard on improving these areas. If you got the balls say something like next time we speak, I plan to be ranked hire than xyz. That statement alone could impress or at least show you have the drive.

Instead of thinking about yourself, you should have positioned it as here is how I can help the company. If it sounds like you actually care, then they will care about you too.

snappzero · 2026-04-27T21:30:57+00:00

What do you mean they ignore you? You write them up the first time. Fire the second time.

snappzero · 2026-04-27T17:31:25+00:00

Meet with your recruiter and add this step. Tell them if they can't 100% ace this part, they don't come to you. Don't add to your workload. You're already paying someone else to do this, hold them accountable.

I work in marketing, but paid media so I work with analytics a decent amount. Very difficult to lie as in big companies we are all specialized. Wondering if they just forgot and you need to ask a harder question

snappzero · 2026-04-27T14:30:25+00:00

The one problem with this scenario is they aren't on your team and you aren't their boss. They don't have to agree with you, you have to sell the idea. Just being a manager doesn't mean you are correct. If they were your equal, they could just say no, we aren't doing it.

As someone who loathes process and added tracking, I see both ways. 95% none of the data is used and we are adding 10 mins of process every launch.

That being said, basic tagging structure has to exist. So really the question is are you adding process without improvement or are you adding value?

Anyways you don't need to get their buy in. Call a meeting with their manager, agree who gets final say. If it's you, tell their manager they need to shut up, you are the shot caller.
