grey_maniac, in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

How about also, “Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills,” when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?

foggy,

I’d straight up tell a boss that asked for unpaid overtime that their failure to allocate resources is money out of my pocket if and only if you want to hear from the DoL.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Unfortunately, many jobs that do this are salaried exempt.

Now, whether they are miss categorized is a different story. That’s why my wife’s old workplace is going to get some attention from the IRS and DOL when she finishes her month’s notice.

I think you might just straight say “management skills” because that’s bare minimum part of their fucking job to organize a schedule well enough so they don’t have to have people running into overtime to get the job done. That is time management, too, because you’re supposed to know how long it takes each employee to do shit, and you should be fucking organizing based on that.

I’m so fucking sick of skeleton crews. I’m pushing 50 and the last 25 fucking years has been nothing but skeleton crews where if one person calls out sick everything falls apart. Sorry, that’s inefficient as hell. If one person calling out wrecks everything, then that means you’re doing it fucking wrong and maybe you need one or two more people to help cover the gaps. I’m sure it makes them beaucoup bucks in the short term, but the profits from ruining your relationship with your customer base won’t last. Eventually customers do get sick of being treated like shit. (Corporations are banking on all of them similarly treating you like shit so you won’t have any real options that are better.)

LoamImprovement,

Managers lower the bus factor to like .8 and force everyone else to work too hard to pick up the slack. Then they act shocked when somebody gets hit by a bus and it all falls apart.

Iron_Lynx,

skeleton crews

I’m not a manager, but if I had a business critical three person job and some busywork, I’d schedule four people minimum. Probably five if the busywork is important at the time.

HuntressHimbo,

beaucoup bucks

I’ve never seen this phrase in print before and the spelling is fucking me up a bit ngl

I had to look it up to make sure I was spelling it right!

Literally every order at my last job bottlenecked through me. That meant that I got shit every time I dared to take time off because it meant one of the salespeople had to do my job and they didn’t even know how to do it well because our processes kept changing and only I was keeping up. I was paid dick despite that too. So glad to be away from that fucking job.

moistclump,

Normalize I ionizing so you can have more frank discussions with management with more protection.

I’m generally sick of hearing about Elon at all even if it’s criticizing him, but this was a good one.

The vanity is off the charts.

Ephera, in Racismed

I am very confused. Is that a comic he had made about himself? I wouldn’t be entirely surprised…

LaserTurboShark69, in Have mercy on our souls

I unapologetically say jif

hardaysknight,

You have nothing to apologize for brother

BmeBenji, in Stand with Comrade Dale!

Okay, I’ll bite. Who is Dale?

quams69, (edited )

Dale Earnhardt is an american Nascar driver who american conservatives love to claim as their own, even though his politics are remarkably liberal. Also worth noting is that Nascar is a primarily southern-conservative sport.

jollyrogue,

Dale is us. We are all Dale, and Dale is all of us.

acockworkorange, in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

My childhood friends started saying that anyone working after noon on Friday is disorganized and I think it’s beautiful.

FireRetardant,

It don’t matter how organized I am, my boss sees I’m done by noon on a friday he’ll give me more service calls, shop time or some other job to do.

pearsaltchocolatebar, (edited )

Wow, Sounds like you really need to work on your time management skills.

li10,

That’s where you’re going wrong, you still need to pretend you’re doing work

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s why you develop the talent of looking busy while not doing shit.

Kiosade,

Must be nice to not have billable hours to worry about…

acockworkorange,

It is. You should try to move to a career where you sell the results of your labor, not the time it takes to achieve them. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

Kiosade,

I think I would have to get a govt job in my career path to be able to do that. I’ve considered it, but idk if I really want to or not.

Truck_kun,

Until recent times, I’ve always thought a govt job was a good thing to have.

Still is, but the constant threat of government shutdowns, in the US at least, as of late, make me feel you need to live below your means and keep a decent chunk of 3 to 6 months pay, because you could suddenly be without pay for a good chunk of time because some idiots think they score political points, or will get their way, by hurting citizens.

Kiosade,

That’s a very good point… it seems like every time the national budget is up for renewal, those Republican clowns threaten to fuck everyone over. Bastards, the lot of them!

Hard G is the only way

Anything else is seeking attention.

lolcatnip,

Says the person seeking attention.

tigeruppercut,

Someone with a big tiddy anime profile pic couldn’t possibly be doing that

PeriodicallyPedantic, in I'm right here!

Ah, I should have said “can I get you anything else” Right now it sounds like Bill is excited about being eaten.

KernelAnxiety,

    And it would be incorrect. The point is there are multiple ways to pronounce G in English, none more valid than the other. Heck, how do you pronounce G itself?

    PsychedSy,

    Where the fuck did I find someone in real life to talk to about image formats? I always thought it was j. I can’t even recall any conversations about it until the 2010s.

    commandar,

    If you say otherwise I’d be willing to bet you weren’t on the internet in the 90s or 00s.

    Bullshit. It’s always been divisive.

    There’s literally a Wikipedia article covering the fact that this has been debated going back to the 90s.

  • tigeruppercut,

    Well, with no numbers on that statement it could be as little as 51% of people. Chalk me up in the “online since BBSs” and I’ve always said soft g.

    I’m more concerned with the poll further down the page that has a staggering 2.8% of people who pronounce each letter individually.

    commandar,

    The article cites the opinion of an unnamed author of an unnamed “image encyclopedia.” Not really what I’d call definitive, which was the point.

    In my circles back then, soft G was predominant. I wouldn’t cite that as evidence of a One True Pronunciation either.

    There has always been debate about it. Hard G has certainly become predominant, but declaring that people that prefer soft G “weren’t on the internet back then” is revisionist at best.

    OneLemmyMan,

    Sorry but no. Jif is what i said back then, and what i will say until i die. All the people i know have been calling it jif like “giraffe” and we will forever call it that. But if someone called it hard g gif i can understand what they are talking about just fine and i would literally pay 0 attention to it. Have better things to do. abcdef…gif.

    SwampYankee,

    Yeah I took digital art classes in the 90s and the teacher and all the students pronounced it jif. I never heard the hard g until that dumb YouTube video.

    Knasen, in Have mercy on our souls

    My old workplay everybody pronounced “Gigabyte” as “Jigabyte”, drove me nuts.

    I admit it was a lost opportunity

    CptInsane0,

    When I worked at a computer store (basically the store from viva l dirt league) a lady came in and kept trying to order a jizz of RAM. We had a great time getting her to say it repeatedly.

    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    Ok yeah maybe but can we all stop writing our witty tweets in the same format? “normalize [abnormal thing]” is not only getting old, it probably is not effective at all

    pearsaltchocolatebar,

    You’re more than welcome to downvote and move on.

    TrickDacy, (edited )
    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    Hey, I’m just trying to normalize better ways to call for normalization.

    li10,

    I doubt anyone else is thinking about it as much as you tbh

    TrickDacy,
    @TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

    Isn’t the goal of a post like this to get people thinking? If it’s the same ol’ same ol’, it’s easier to tune out.

    Kiosade,

    Tbh i think there are a fair amount that think it’s a tired form of expressing sentiments like that.

    Can’t stop thinking about the guy that replies to every one of his posts, asking to have lunch with him and give him a job.

    Dude’s been doing that shit for years.

    Anticorp,

    It’s probably a bot.

    Just another example that billionaires didn’t become billionaires by being smarter than everyone else.

    Cowbee,

    Unironically dividing the Proletariat against itself by stirring up racism among conservatives on a large social platform is the correct move for him to keep his dragon hoard, though I doubt it’s intentional.

    Promethiel,

    Even crazy new Dragons get the “Respect the #1 rule of Dragon Club; do nothing to threaten the viability of the existence of Dragons” speech, I reckon.

    shawwnzy,

    I’d give him more credit, it doesn’t take a genius to encourage people to subscribe to a philosophy and or vote for a person that will benefit you.

    He knows what he’s doing

    Cowbee,

    I dunno, I’ve seen his Elden Ring build, and he’s somehow a fan of New Vegas despite NV beating him over the head, so I don’t quite believe that.

    Empricorn,

    Sure, but that’s just survival bias.

    MargotRobbie, in Racismed

    I genuinely can’t tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk’s tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he "“ironically” added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.

    Truth is stranger than fiction.

    Octopus1348,
    @Octopus1348@lemy.lol avatar
    GoodEye8,

    There’s a simple litmus test. Musk would never joke about himself in a self-deprecating way, in any capacity. He has such a fragile ego it would break if someone farted in his general direction.
