WashedOver, to memes in No! No! I don't want to conduct performance reviews! You can't make me!

Yes this exactly. If you need to do this you have hired the wrong people and/or the mission is not clear.

I decided I wasn’t going to be a prison warden early on in my career after trying to be one for the company.

We got so much further as a team when I use to make sure they had their birthday cakes and whatever other supplies or tools and got the hell out of their way.

Not a lot of people can trust others this much. It also takes initiative to weed out those that are not going to fit into the team quickly. 1 bad Apple can make the bunch go bad quickly.

I had been a servant leader for a number of years in a big corporation in a remote location where I could break away from their older 50’s style management structure. I had a great crew that was able to do wonderful things. The company took notice and wanted me to move to other locations. I wasn’t interested in moving so far away. I would be sent to train and show other locations how we streamlined so well. We eventually closed down our location as the largest customer *we served closed after 90 years.

I was going to walk away from it all then one of my old customers wanted me to come and help them grow, move, and re-invent themselves. I was able to bring in some of the old crew and it was a lot of heavy lifting. Having the ownership in the location didn’t make it easy as they were into the old 50s style mentality so it was a constant fight to implement all the great things they loved about my old location that served them. I was pretty burnt out by the end with being left to navigate Rona on my own with the crews when ownership went and hid in their homes. They didn’t take it seriously at first and then when they flipped it was left in my hands to deal with while they freaked out about the end of the world.

Eventually they sold to a larger company and I was excited for this change. Turns out the new company spouted everything that sounded good but they were so disfunctional and full of themselves it was tough. I was glad to go when they folded our location into another existing one.

I miss working with the people daily and helping them grow and remove those road blocks but I was tired out by the latest ownership disfunction especially when they drank their own Kool aid so much they couldn’t see how badly they were making it for the staff.

The only saving grace for this last ownership group was the previous ownership was so terrible, the new owners seemed like a good upgrade. They were in some ways. It wasn’t for those of us that had worked for structured and properly run companies. It’s been rough on the staff that remain and the steps backwards they had to endure in the process. The new owners are fairly certain they are doing great things. I wish them all luck and I’m glad to be out.

I’ve not seen this version. I was able to edit it to this with the credit. Thanks.

@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

I have to think miniature guns for toddlers would open up whole new segments for gun manufacturers

WashedOver, to memes in Hallmark channel go brrrrr

I assume this was the same for the Harlequin Romance Novels too? I knew a few women over the years that had a bunch of these books. They seemed to digest them like monthly magazines.

In some ways it’s sort of a business dream to be able to keep repacking the same nuts and bolts to make something slightly different for consumers who will keep paying. It’s pretty efficient.

Still I’ve not read a Harlequin Romance nor have I seen a Hallmark movie. This doesn’t mean I’ve not seen all of the Star Wars movies or a good majority of the Marvel ones.

Then I think of the parents that throw their shoe/flip flop at a misbehaving kid. I don’t think first name reference would be used there either.

Thanks, I couldn’t recall the name of the channel. He does some great content. I never cared about microwaves because I don’t use them, but I found myself watching a couple of long videos he did on them none the less.

I watched a video the other day discussing the sensors in some Microwaves for popping popcorn. Most lower end units don’t have these sensors but the ones that do, can actually make pretty good popcorn.

Great suggestion.

On a side note look into eating left over rice.

WashedOver, to lemmyshitpost in It's like everyday
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Mine gets like this depending on the amount of dairy I consume. It’s can be pretty clear most of the timesbut mmmmhmmm ice cream and cheese…

Why not save time and stomp it in the shower?

WashedOver, to memes in Who's really coming for our jobs
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Locally especially among the rednecks, the answer is always those immigrants.

My first 2 thoughts are yeah right they came and stole your software engineering job, and what job? That back breaking one you weren’t going to work in the fields anyways as crops rot away? I can’t see you doing either. /s

WashedOver, to lemmyshitpost in What a steal

At least they aren’t a bunch of eyes!
