I live in a high cost of living area and I was just telling my coworker, who lives in another state, that I know several people my age (mid-40s) who either still live with their parents or who live with several roommates of the same age, and I don’t blame them a bit because it’s fucking insane out there, dude, and only getting worse.
No. In fact, I consigned on my mother’s student loans when she wanted to go back to college (and she has since paid them off on her own).
Is this not cool anymore??
My BaBy Is 72 MoNtHs!1!!
I got called to take a Gallop Poll once. I was totally surprised and probably sounded like an idiot to the person on the phone because I kept saying shit like “I can’t believe you actually called me, I always hear about these but I don’t know anyone who’s ever actually taken one,” and I thought it was so cool. This was in 2014, so quite a while ago, so my memory of the questions is vague.
Yes! I wish more men felt comfortable wearing jewelry. I like the addition of jewelry to any body!
I’d make 1 to go to work for me. Other than that I really don’t mind the rest of my life.
It sounds like this person isn’t remembering the procedures then, even when you’ve explained it to them and they’ve already done the task before (Or they’re just a lazy fuck that doesn’t care one way or the other and maybe never will). There is no “fixing” the individual, you need to correct their behavior while also giving them plenty of opportunity to get it right and with all the tools and guides they need readily available. How long have they been working in that position? Maybe they just need more time.
As others have stated, if the directions aren’t already in writing, you should either write them down for the employee or, better yet, make the employee write them down, then review it for accuracy. This should in theory help them commit the process to memory, plus now they have their own guide to refer to.
Another bonus (for you, not the employee) of getting the process in writing is that if/when this person messes up again, now you have something to point back to and say “Remember when we went over this and you wrote it down and I verified that your notes were correct? Did you follow those notes this time? If yes, why did (mess up) happen anyway? If no, why didn’t you follow the notes?” Make this person explain themselves, don’t just sit there and be mad and say nothing to them.
This could also be a case of weaponized incompetence/ learned helplessness. If they fuck up a lot, you stop giving them work, but they’re still there getting paid anyway, right? Now you’re just paying them to either stand around or do menial tasks and not what you actually hired them for.
Start documenting their fuck ups, and tell them you’re doing so. You’re better off having a paper trail to point to when you have to fire them.
Olives are the best Change my mind
Is he maybe just a really literal person and took the forwarded email with instructions “send THIS to them” as “send this email to them”, but then he knows his work responsibility is to send the product, hence why he sent both the product and the email?
Do you have an SOP or exact steps to follow written down in a very clear, concise manner (yes, even something as simple as “after employee A sends the email, employee A will notify employee B to send out the product by forwarding the customer email to employee B”; I’m talking reaaaallly literal steps here)?
Can you give other examples of times he’s messed up in a similar way?
Does he have poor reading comprehension? ADHD?
I train employees a lot in my current job and jobs prior and I’ve learned that everyone interprets things differently and learns at their own pace. Most times you can adapt to their style, but sometimes people are just mentally out to lunch 24/7 and not fit for the job.
Hint of Lime Tostitos and guacamole. I could eat an entire bag, which is why I rarely buy them.
This is great! Person in the middle is questioning their life choices.
From a woman who’s father failed in many ways: Be present, be willing to listen, and actually give a damn. My father wasn’t any of those things when I was growing up, he just sorta came and went as he pleased and if he cared, he sure didn’t show it. I went NC with him from my teens until my 30s, and we now have a semi-decent relationship, but man, I will be forever jealous of those “Daddy’s girl” women who adore and admire their fathers and their fathers love them so much everyone can tell.
I wish I was still gaming but I gotta get up early to take my car in for an oil change
I’d travel to other countries and explore them by myself (I’d need way more than 24 hours though).
Personally, I do not find men (or women) that are as built as that photo of Arnold attractive. I do like nicely-toned arms though, I am definitely an “arms” chick, as in, I find muscular arms in particular attractive. But there’s definitely a point where if the muscles are too big, it starts to be less appealing.
I’ll quit it when everyone else stops using it too
My mom us a retired Episcopalian priest. She said there are gluten-free wafers you can get if someone in the congregation needs them. She also said that it doesn’t have to be a wafer, one of her priest buddies once consecrated a pancake to make a point that it doesn’t matter what’s being consecrated, it’s all God’s creation.
Note: I am not religious and do not hold these beliefs myself
It will be the hottest year on record
For me, it totally depends on frequency of their use. Everything in moderation is fine to me (but let’s face it, have you ever known anyone to casually smoke crack once in a while? Some drugs are more dangerous than other).
