@MattGiltaji haha. I think what we really need is any user who has exactly 42k rep should have the true ultimate power
with the power to make help vampires and serial downvoters repent there ways with the mere click of a button.
(sort of related, I can only imagine how much of a mess it would be if there was a special privilege at a certain rep, there would just be torrents of downvoting and floods of bad questions from that user trying to keep their rep down)
@enderland when Chad gets back from suspension (4 days to go), he will be well over 20K. My life as answer flagger at Programmers completely changed when we've got two active trusted users at the site voting to delete crappy answers. Think of it, mods deletions over delete votes of 20Kers don't look like "unilateral tyranny" anymore...
...And, conversely, when review queue items clearly show delete votes from 20Kers, mods tend to do less flag declines on these, as these now carry a burden to be able to explain how their decision went against judgement of trusted user(s). That's as close to answer flagger's paradise as it gets
heck you yourself can walk over your past declined flags on garbage answers and cast delete votes on these - mods just can't do anything to stop you from doing this (I wouldn't be surprised if they will happily pile their binding votes over yours)

I am a manager with several direct reports. My manager also manages another team. One of his direct reports is continually rude to me in front of other employees.

There's three answers here, including from me. But I'm kinda wondering if maybe we aren't missing something here....
The asker is female, and her rude coworker is male.... she hasn't come out and brought up diversity at all, but I could see it being tougher to be assertive and stand up for oneself if there's a culture where that sort of thing is acceptable....
Not saying this is an issue because of her gender, but I'm kinda wondering if someone with more experience in this area might weight in to give a better answer?
I read an article by Peggy McIntosh about "No such thing as an unmarked woman" I think I posted it as a comment to one those developer attire for women questions.
I’m writing a résumé for someone and under skills I’d like to say that they have excellent skills at baking, cooking, and other kitchen-oriented things.
Not sure if I’m phrasing it right, but I want to say that they are excellent at baking and cooking with their own company.
@enderland It's off-topic here because we don't do writing advice. It's not asking for synonyms or anything. Workplace mods were consulted and accepted it as on-topic there following suggestions from the community here. The question concerns how best to big up a particular set of skills and how that should appear on a CV.
Reducing the salary after job offer? is getting a lot of attention, probably because it started out as a "bad stuff happened to me - is this ethical?" question, which is a magnet for opinions and anecdotes. It is currently +58/-2. I have edited the question to focus more on the "why would they ...
