Why do you hate Teams/Why is Teams despised? in c/[email protected]

For me it updates frequently and changes a lot of little things (like button placement, or defaults) that just don't need to be updated.

Anyone have solid, tried and true strategies for improving communications with engineers? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I work in a fairly toxic work environment.

The reasons I do what the engineers are doing are,

  1. A lot of times people will ask me questions and I give them answers. Then something will go wrong and it will somehow be my fault that I didn't mention it to them (they didn't ask, and I don't know the specifics of what they are doing).

  2. I have my own goals and projects for the year. Why should I give you a significant amount of my time when my salary/bonus will not reflect helping you in anyway.

  3. Job security.

These might sound bad, but that is how it works in corporate America

Edit: It sounds like you need management on board with you before you can fully continue

Similar boat recently, talked to an FA and am now investing. Also got a life insurance policy and LTD policy just in case...

What is a human behaviour you've never understood? in c/[email protected]

Wanting expensive designer clothes/accessories.

One, I hate spending money. Two, I'd worry about ruining them too much to ever want to wear/use them. Three, they just generally aren't comfortable.

What games have you put the most hours into? in c/[email protected]

I put the most hours into Awesomenauts during college... really miss games that time

What did you lose along the way and how will you restore it or make things right again? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Something that helped me was to "just do it for 2 mins" - then decide if you want to keep doing it or not. I found a lot of times since I was already doing it, I would keep going.

This really helped me get back on track.

What is your favorite horror of 2024 so far? in c/[email protected]

Late Night With The Devil was great (even with the AI controversy)

Longlegs was also a really fun watch - gotta love Nicholas Cage.

How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible" in c/[email protected]

Have been using this the last 2 days and love it, thank you!

How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible" (lemmy.world)
 

I work at a place where data quality is not on anyone's radar. We have a reporting team in our group so we do our best where we can, but combining any datasets with other groups (like marketing & sales) is next to impossible as each team is silo'd and do things their own way - think free-form text fields to tag content...

How can I politely and succinctly say the above? Also, anyone else in a similar boat?

Where to buy women's business clothes (lemmy.world)
 

Just curious if anyone has any advice for my situation. I am a petite lady who needs to wear business / business casual outfits for work. I've been lifting heavy for the past year or so and my arms no longer fit into my long sleeve shirts (biceps/Triceps are too big). Is there a brand / store / service anyone can recommend so I can buy more fitting business attire? Thanks!

Where can I express my opinion about a Healthcare provider? (lemmy.world)
 

In 2023 I had United Health Care as my Healthcare provider. They had $22B+ in profits in 2023. Starting in 2024 they dropped UVM Health Network (a non profit) from their in-network coverage. How can this be allowed? Where can I express my opinion on the matter and at least attempt to have it heard? Thank you.

Sometimes my brain feels like it's stuck in a loop (lemmy.world)
 

I ran a meeting today and it didn't go as well as I had hoped. My video was delayed from what I was saying, was just overall more nervous than I had hoped to be which than caused me to rush (which didn't help at all with the video delay).

I know logically I should just take this as a learning situation and do better next time. But I can't stop thinking about it. I know I'm going to go to bed tonight and think about all the things I could've done better and not get any sleep.

How do people "change the channel" in their heads?

Crazy cucumbers (lemmy.world)
 

Very new to gardening. Very happy my garden hasn't died with all the crazy rain we're getting here!

Any friendly advice for these crazy cucumbers? They keep expanding! (2 squash on the right, 4 cucumbers to the left of them, then lettuce). Definitely going to give everything more room next year.

Rotten squash question (lemmy.world)
 

Last year I started a garden for the first time. Learned a lot! When I picked my squash last year it seemed fine, then I kept it on my counter for maybe a week before I noticed a small rotten spot on the underside. Eventually the rotten spot grew and I just composted the whole squash.

Not sure what went wrong. Was thinking -should I put hay or something under my squash when it starts to grow on the dirt?
