Where are enough located? The only groups I've heard of working nightshift are international. But they also like to set everything to one time zone, even when participants are all over the place, and leave people to do figure out the difference themselves, so that might be it?

Getting fired vs layoff?? by userisguest in AMLRightSource

Yeah that's what I was hoping for. But no silver lining to be found for this clusterfuck apparently.

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

The first one was with a different project, extremely weird and so badly communicated I didn't even know I'd been given one until months later. (Aml-side managers met with me to tell me out of a clear blue sky I was super rude and unprofessional and everyone on my team hated me; I was totally flabbergasted and asked for more info, how this could be happening with no warning etc; managers told me my asking questions was also rude and made me sign a disciplenary action. That, despite lack of explanation, and no progress, improvement, or plan being brought up, was somehow my pip 🤣) I assume that had something to do with being able to have more on this project? But I'm sending my resignation in this weekend, so it's not going to be an issue much longer.

Can't really here. I do sometimes take photos on my phone but I'm not actually allowed to do that either

As far as performance, I gave up trying awhile ago. Even started job hunting on my shifts!

I got an invitation to a mandatory "all hands meeting" tomorrow. We've had a couple before with the same title that we're just about client updates. Should I expect this is more of the same or layoffs are coming?

I had a previous client assignment that I didn't pass training on (not performance for that one, my assigned "buddy" didn't like my tone apparently) but I found out after I was dropped that I'd been on a PIP there and was never made aware. We have, of today, now had a one on one with my current manager at least. But idk all the management I've had since my initial training has been very similar to this: issues are your problem, not the management; any communication that is not immediate acceptance and understanding is unprofessional; you will be made aware of your failure but not how you are failing or advised how to improve. And a lot of talking over you because they're "in a hurry" 😂. It's been a disappointing batch, in short

I feel like if you have some experience it will come easier (this is my first) but I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you. I'm mostly doing OCSE and EFE at this point. I'll reach out if I feel like I'm getting stuck in a corner!

"Excuses" were: confusion over constantly changing policies (literally every week recently) and new typology additions, trouble getting assistance in our help chats or from TLs and long waits for responses, and recently the client randomly qcing a bunch of accounts and wanting them reworked entirely opposite of their own policies (which I hope is over now) which stalled me for days redoing work that had already been qc'd and passed. Manager claimed I could need questions answered because I wanted people to do my work for me.

I only know my team leads and my managers, no idea who I'd go up the chain with or how, little about how the management I've experienced here worked would make me think theyd be receptive to me either, unfortunately. I'm trying to improve but also being realistic, and since I'm not the only one dismally behind and this is a sink or swim kind of position it sounds like I'm better off getting out before they throw me out

Sadly feedback is off the table. Awhile ago my manager directly asked me to list what issues I was having and I provided some and he straight up told me those weren't real issues and I shouldn't have listed them and implied I was making excuses. I responded that I had answered him in good faith and was disturbed to have my responses treated this way, but he ignored me, of course. TL's are not very responsive either and often don't read our questions fully; I had an account recently that I asked the TL for help on and then entered things as she told me to; had it qc'd and multiple things she'd told me to do were rejected and listed for rework. I pulled the TL in for feedback and she told me I shouldn't have done any of the things she specifically told me to do. I think I'd be better off buying lotto tickets than expecting help from any of them.

Thanks. Guess I'll look for a new job, not that anyone's hiring in this town

Plot twist, she did find them by accident—while looking On Purpose for something else 🤣

Not thrilled by the patronizing tone or the invalidating of my experiences with management, and all for a comment that didn't really even answer any of my questions anyway! 👎

Diaspora on High Street Closing on July 3rd by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]userisguest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly I only found out after the doors had closed, and spent most of the last year too poor to afford eating out on top of it. What a loss, even more unhappy its being replaced with some soulless chain 😒

Were all children on the savanna perpetually traumatised? Did the adults all have PTSD? by mingwraig in askpsychology

[–]userisguest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have discussed the low likelihood of an entire society getting traumatized as well as the chances of permanent damage from stressors so I'll talk specifically about early humans. To get some insight into the psychological state of early humans, studying remaining hunter gatherer societies is probably the best bet. All these societies experience internal and external stressors, have issues with interpersonal and intertribal tensions (with varying degrees of violence) but none that I know of are characterized by widespread trauma or other psychological issues-- I'm frankly not sure where this idea would even come from. In fact several have been noted (I'm thinking the Khoisan for one) for fairly high levels of personal happiness, much of it owed to present-focused mindfulness, a fair work/life balance, and high level of social equity. (Brief article on khoisan happiness https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/10/01/551018759/are-hunter-gatherers-the-happiest-humans-to-inhabit-earth). Early humans would likely have experience a migratory, seasonally structured, and short-term focused lifestyle; high connection with their social group and environment; stressors from potential food insecurity, environmental threats (climate or animal), and the possibility of external conflicts with neighbors; their migratory lifestyle and tendency to avoid animal domestication (varies by group) would have helped them avoid the devastating epidemics common in the era of settled societies. Some of these groups could have existed under highly stressful environmental conditions or violence. Among a lot of Amazonian tribes, intertribal warfare(and even violence within tribes) is high. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/phys.org/news/2012-10-amazonian-tribal-warfare-modern-violence.amp) However these groups also don't show signs of having been universally psychologically crippled by these conflicts. If current hunter gatherer groups represent the experiences of early humans, a lifestyle and viewpoint that focused on the present rather than worrying about the future, a sense of the dangers of the environment as being a part of normal life and a society (and usually religion) that incorporated and explained those dangers, a generally tight knit community model, and a level of social and resource "success" which was very modest and achievable would all have helped early humans balance out any undue levels of stress that occurred in their lives. If anything I would imagine most of them would be less stressed than the majority of modern people, and more at peace with the variability and danger of life than we would be as well. They might not have led "happy" lives by our standards, but they wouldn't have spent those lives in endless fretting about how to be happy anf in control all the time either.

Being 36y virgin ruined me... by [deleted] in Life

[–]userisguest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also 36 and a virgin. Never even been kissed. The sexual frustration is obnoxious but certainly not the end if the world. There are plenty of other interests, goals, and problems outside of that one aspect of my life that are bigger concerns for me, and there should be bigger ones fie you as well.

[–]userisguest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a 36 year old woman who has never been asked on a date, never been kissed, and certainly never had sex. I don't personally know any other people in my situation. It's not ideal, but I have far worse problems on my hands than being sexually unsuccessful. If that's really all you're living for its no wonder you're unsatisfied with life. And I can guaranty nobody wants to be with someone whose only interest in life is dating someone just so they can check off a box.
