People will always want you to do stuff that’s outside of your classification. The key is to be “too busy” when it doesn’t advance your career, and willing to learn when it does. Ideally, you don’t have to directly say no. When you hit the balance right, they stop asking.
I like your advice, and it makes me think I’m on the right track. They used to call a lot more. Even for me specifically, but I got tired of it, and it made them mad, and now they call on occasion for small things like the other day.
Just it’s not my job to do. Even if I’m just walking around looking for things to do either for myself or my crew. I am still working and they just don’t wanna do their jobs. I’m only supposed to do it if they are busy or it’s like a 5 gallon bucket of paint that needs to be brought to the front. The heavy lifting and hard work.
If I didn’t love my job I’d probably find a new one. Just with 75% of the store liking me and 25% not… I think I’m good. 🤔
Sorry, I don’t know of any good resources off the top of my head
Agnostic Theist
Or
Agnostic Atheist
Are what the majority of people are.
Agnostic makes the most sense because there is no “proof” a God or gods exists or doesn’t exist.
If I walk up to a Theist or Atheist and ask for “proof,” neither side will have any.
When you ask a Gnostic Theist that practices Christianity (but could be any religion). They will say that the Bible is “proof” and that they know that to be the truth. They claim to have the knowledge that their belief is correct.
A Gnostic Atheist doesn’t really exist. Because they would have to believe in some knowledge that is “proof” for their belief that no God or gods could ever exist. There is no knowledge out there that proves that.
It becomes a semantic battle of what do you call the God or gods and that “Anything is possible”
So you can assume anyone that calls themselves Atheist is an Agnostic Atheist.
As an example, no Atheist is going to lay down their life to die on a hill that no God or gods has ever existed. They believe that no God or gods existed, but they realize that the knowledge to prove it doesn’t exist yet.
A Gnostic Theist will die on the hill for what they believe because they truly believe that they have the knowledge to prove it.
Plato has a lot of good stuff to read up about religion
But unless you want to pick a religion and roll with it on faith, agnostic is what it is.
It’s nice to hope for a nice God or gods. That would make you Agnostic Theist.
But if you feel like a God or gods don’t exist then you’d just be Agnostic Atheist.
But to become religious, you’d have to read about all the different ones and see what speaks to you and decide yourself if you want to buy in or not.
Not the asshole. They are trying to get something for nothing it sounds like. You had evry right to do and say what you did. “Sorry, you have to do your own job” shouldn’t be something that you have to say, but you will need to say it, probably more than once.
Yeah, and I started saying no more often but the other floor guys just have the mindset “I get paid to be here. Noone is gonna tell them anything. I’ll be the only one who hears it so I will just go do it.” 😞
Part of me wants to make a giant spectacle of the thing. Show up with a ton of gear that you have to set down (directly in their way) while you you deal with the boxes. But I know that type of person would just complain even louder.
It sounds like you’re in a different dept with a different manager. Assuming that your manager agrees, your manager should be the one to say no. That way, everyone on your team can simply say their manager won’t allow it.
If that fails, the Wally Reflector is a good tactic. Tell them that you’d love to help, but they need to do something first. You can say that you’re very busy, but you’ll take the boxes if they flatten all of them and put them on a cart. It’s still offering to help, but it requires work on their part. It also quickly reveals if the requester is just being lazy.
If that fails, treat it as a training opportunity- they must need training on a required part of their job, which is why they called you. Drag them along the whole time, explaining every detail to them. Bonus points if you explain the history of why we do it that way. Basically, make it more work for them to be lazy.
Everyone is my dept respects me. They do what I say when I say it. They know I’m in charge and I’m not that bad of a manager. I actually have experience from 2 other stores. It’s the girls in other dept that is so used to the other floor guys, current and old, saying YES YES YES!!! However I don’t say yes which makes them mad.
In my store we have “floor guys” that do everything. We are supposed to know the store and help when and where we can. Which is why we get paid more. However just because we CAN doesn’t mean we SHOULD. Even the store managers are tired of it which is why we had a meeting where they got told it’s not our job. Pissed them off.
I’m not gonna be a store manager. Just someone who manages the guys and what they do. Basically make sure they aren’t fucking off 90% of the day.
Sounds like what I call Pretty Girl Syndrome. Pretty girls are never told no and are appalled when anyone does so. I can hardly hold it against them, it’s just the way life has been for them, but still.
Yeah, but I love my job. Plus with living in such a small town. There’s only a handful of places I could get a job. I’m only in my mid 20s but around here there’s not much. I recently moved here too so I don’t know a whole bunch of people…
Health related bullshit like a “cleanse” and other woowoo health shit, especially when people talk authoritatively about it. Look, Jenny, you obviously don’t know shit about what you are talking about because you wouldn’t be talking about it if you did.
If you need a cleanse, your fucking kidneys and liver are broken. Seek help.
I just had a peek at the source code of the plug-in. It’s basically already setup to add another service like Lemmy, as it supports Nebula and one other service with the same codebase.
I think it would almost trivial to add Lemmy. I may look into doing it if i get bored and have the time, but not sure when that would be. Have you contacted the git maintainer for that plug-in and asked him to add Lemmy support? He could do it much quicker since he’s already familiar with the code and from what I saw, it would be about 30-60 minutes worth of work for someone familiar with the codebase already. I may be grossly underestimating that since I did not do an in depth dive, but from what I can tell it would be pretty simple.
What I would do is:
Add a new variable that lets you configure what Lemmy instance you want to point to
Copy the objects from reddit to a new lemmy object.
Adjust the URL and /r/ to /c/
Might have to fiddle with the User view code a bit
But other than that, everything else code wise should be a drop in replacement from what I can tell.
Nutrition. I spent years reading about nutrition to the point of being afraid to eat basically anything, I went to a “nutritionist” school with a strong anti animal product bent.
I don’t want to hear your nutrition “facts.” If it works for you, good for you! If you want my advice about what works for me, I’ll freely give it when asked. But literally every research based bit of nutrition advice can be contradicted with another bit of research based nutrition advice and most people are working with a model of nutrition science from about 1995.
I swear if I have to listen to one more emotional to the point of tears monologue about the perils of soy/dairy/meat/gluten/carbs/cholesterol/saturated fat/vegetables/“modern fruits”/grains/unfermented foods/bioaccumulated whatevers/etc WHILE I’M TRYING TO EAT, I may take advantage of my pointy food weapons.
Eat what makes you feel vibrant and leave everyone else alone.
It seems to depend a lot on the topic tbh, for example cross stitch is more active on Lemmy whereas knitting is more active on Mastodon. Memes, Lemmy. Gamedev, Mastodon. etc etc. I end up cross-posting a lot from Mastodon to Lemmy just to cover all my bases 😄
Your post kind of dismisses hashtags but given that they’re basically what all of Mastodon runs on, I’d very much recommend using them. Both to build your own follow list and feeds, as well as in your posts to reach other people.
And don’t be afraid to ask for a boost if you have something to say that you think is relevant to a much wider audience.
Its not working on a project “for me” or “for nothing” its for the lemmy/fediverse community as a whole. Like every other lemmy open source extension, most clients, lemmy itself.
Because Lemmy is a forum type of site, which is designed for discussions; whereas Mastodon is microblogging, which is designed for users to follow people they are interested in.
