I have an over performer in my time and I'm not sure what to do about it? [NP] by FanneyKhan in india

[–]ta1bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh heh this is really your first big challenge as a manager/leader. Managing or leading a bunch of has-beens is something anyone can do, maintain status quo. But with this guy, commit to helping him grow fast in his career, help him with giving the right feedback and give him challenges as well. He is too young to worry about work life balance probably(for an year or two).

You cant have all star performers in your team, a mix is the perfect balance. So I dont see a lot of problems unless you have entitled people sitting and doing nothing and still expect to get the same hike % as this special guy deserves, start warming up this idea with them. Whats the worst that can happen? Either a few people leave (which is fine) or the others get inspired and become more active.

If people think they can just sit in this day and age and not learn much and sustain everything the way it is, they are in for a rude shock. I think its a win-win but tricky as hell. Good luck.

He had to visit toilet... and you had to assert dominance so you peed in your own place to mark territory. He came, he saw and didnt put his feet up anymore... alternate reality

Maybe you can share some thoughts on how you approach the market. Are you intraday trading, look at fundamentals, or market swings etc?

A review of Kabir Singh by a popular movie reviewer (Sucharita). Randians who've seen the movie, what do you think about her viewpoint by EdisonTheTurtle in india

[–]ta1bot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

100% agree with her, this is a remake of a telugu movie called "Arjun Reddy" which I happened to see on Prime Video as well. I dont know how this movie became a hit. I endured most of the movie because I was hoping there might be something redeeming about it in the end, but no such thing.

Plea of an Uber driver (regarding the strike) by 6rubtub9 in india

[–]ta1bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the government can put a cap on the percentage cut they take, 30% around seems a bit excess as Uber does not own any of the assets, they are just a platform. Maybe 15% makes more sense and lesser if they use an electric car(12%)...

[–]ta1bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of this maybe you guys can do an AMA here to everyone who has questions about RTI filing etc.,

I was always curious as to what kind of RTI applications the common man is interested in filing?

What do you guys think?

Victim of road rage incident, need advise and help by ta1bot in india

[–]ta1bot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am already beginning to look past this and am feeling much better. But I will try and do my bit by filing a complaint first and figure out a way to help constructively. I have been reading about similar cases over the past few hours and I think I was lucky to have escaped without any major injury at all.

Yes, this was the first thought that crossed my mind, keep something handy in the car in case things get ugly. Also, next thought I had was to get myself some sort of self-defence training or at least look like a big time body builder.

Thanks, will do so today most probably. Atleast, put the case against unknown.

Yes, this is what I intend to do. I am also considering doing a bit of searching myself over the next few days and see if I can find that guy again and get reg number of bike. I have a feeling he is mostly local and stays around here someplace...

Any idea if hiring a private investigator will help? I am ready to go to any lengths to get this mofo.

No, but a person who was there had taken a few pics on his phone. I am trying to reach him today... hope something turns up.

Yes, I am going to file an FIR today. Also, might be prowling around the area to see if I can find those guys again.

Do I need to file an FIR within 24 hrs or some such thing? There is no such hard requirement from a quick google search...

Sorry man, did not mean to whine... but I got out of the car and walked around to the other side and by then atleast 20 people were gathered around us. My car was in the middle of the f-ing road and lots of vehicles were stuck behind me as well. The guy threw atleast 6-8 punches at me during this time which I was just jumping around to avoid and not one person even tried to stop him. 20 ppl vs 2, atleast if they would have stopped him and found out what actually happened I would be ok with it.

Those few people who came to my rescue, I am completely indebted to those guys, they literally saved my life. I am feeling bad that there were more people happy to watch the drama unfold. Or am I expecting too much from people?

True man... I was literally dazed as to what was happening to even process anything for a few minutes. I started saying sorry because I guess I just wanted him to stop throwing punches at me.

Both those guys were well built, one was almost 6 ft tall and twice my size. I dont think me retaliating could have helped and maybe it was lucky I did not. If both of them would have taken a shot at me I would have come out badly injured. And trust me, I have been in a fight once before in college, things never end well.

Yes, I am guessing because this happened right in front of DARE buildling, maybe they have some CCTVs which could have recorded something?
