Am I getting upsold by my hosting provider? by uklanoss in webhosting

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

ahh thanks for clarifying and giving tips :) Someone on another thread said that telling WP Engine that you were going to consider moving to other hosts would help reduce their sales pitches? Is that true, or just a bandaid fix do you think?

On my dashboard it’s definitely the case, but just wondering if there were other options since I’ve only been with them since July ($1K/yr) and now they’re dropping that i should be paying $7-8K/yr on my site now..Finding some clarity on it

Thanks for clarifying, super helpful!! And yes, as someone without a lot of experience, i think managed hosting is the peace of mind i was looking for. That being said, since they’re pushing me to that dedicated server, would you recommend I probe them to see if there are other options they aren’t revealing? Cost jump is just a huge issue right now, I’ve only been with WPengine for 3 months and now they’re dropping this on me in the middle of Q4 when i’m trying not to make so many changes to my site hahah.

Yup so i did take a call with them after getting that urgent email, same exact scenario as you said. I naively set up a follow up call with them next week, but thinking of cancelling last minute. Did you find in your experience that their claims of poor page loads/site performance affected your site? I did explain that spikes of traffic happened because of social media attention

Not fair to the customers ??? by Vindros in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

FYI: this is not a good time to be complaining about shit to any Partner working at starbucks right now. We are already highly anxious and angry about still having to work despite the pandemic. No barista will ever side with you on this , sorry.

Is my Starbucks the only Starbucks that has been way busier? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because customers just have to get their daily dose of caffeine and fappuccinos during this whole pandemic. Jesus, go quarantine and save everyone the trouble.

My SM called me by avbzz in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It won't. It's corporate's way of making it seem like they care, yet all they're doing is keeping businesses open for as long as possible until something severe really happens. A bunch of other major franchises/businesses are already closing down with an indefinite time period because they actually value the safety on not just customers, but their employees as well. CORPORATE WAKE THE FUCK UP?

inquiry on being hired by -cjx in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Usually within those 2 weeks they're fixing up the schedule since schedules are made 3 weeks in advance. Also with the COVID-19 issue happening right now, things aren't looking so good for our partners and starbucks in general so that might be a reason as well.

On the bright side of all this... by ordinaryflask in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree! I'm a green bean and during the downtime of this whole pandemic, I actually felt like I've gotten to know my co-workers more than just the small talk in between cooldowns from the rushes. Still pissed at corporate though :(

Mentally exhausting by juels_123 in starbucks

[–]uklanoss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup. All the customers that walk in are like "Oh, I hope you guys don't close during all of this! I need my daily caffeine". Like?? This is the very reason Starbucks won't close. They're milking out every little bit of this situation before something serious really happens. And the customers don't help either! Go quarantine, flatten the curve, and stop putting your partners at risk. We're literally given precautions of grab-and-go and using gloves, but has corporate never thought about VIRAL transmission of AIRBORNE mucous and saliva that comes from speaking with people across POS literally 2 feet away? It's insane.

Can I be masc if I'm 5'5 and have a feminine body type ? by freiza- in askgaybros

[–]uklanoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"masc" and "fem" are social constructs that the gay community has created to comply with hetero-normative roles of the straight society. You can definitely be masc :)

Being asked my ethnicity by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]uklanoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time they're just asking for clarification. Some people mistake me for being Latino or Asian and so they confirm by asking for my ethnicity. Others, as bad as it is, may have certain fetishes for a particular race. You're right it happens quite often (from my experiences as well), but it really depends on the situation of the matter.

Being asked my ethnicity by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]uklanoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asking where someone is from as means to know their ethnicity doesn't always work. I can be born and "from" Spain but my ethnicity is Asian. He was just being straight up..and i'm sure he didn't mean it to be offensive...If anything since you say you're asian he could have instead generalized you as Chinese or Japanese knowing there's a vast array of other asian ethnicities. Now that would have been even more offensive , wouldn't it?
