A: Bad review for my first internship - not convinced!

Meredith PoorSounds like you're working with a jerk. I've been developing software for 40 years, and I Google stuff all the time - including in particular Stack Overflow. If one can get an answer easily, why struggle? We're here to get stuff done, not burn up hours. 'Late' by one day? Some of my deliverable...

Im not sure if im missing something but this basically says
"I'm late all the time, so someone else needs a review for expecting me to work to deadlines"
 
10:21 AM
Damn managers who want staff to work their hours. Its downright unethical!

@RhysW I wish I could miss deadlines by 1.5 years and consider that normal! I should ask what company she works for
that question is a trainwreck of non-answers

@enderland yeah, anywhere where its acceptable to be a year and a half late and that be fine, raises flags with me
Does anyone know how you request an account deletion?
 
@RhysW Are you asking that for yourself or for someone else?
 
@enderland you sarcastic SOB :P but ta, i didnt think of that :D
 
@RhysW gotta teach a man to fish, not give away fish all the time ;)
 
@enderland what if a man only wants 1 fish? :P damn programmers, always trying to convince you you need a fully fledged reporting system when all you want is 1 report 1 time :P i know the type!
@MichaelGrubey for me, but not for here, just one site
coming back to make WP my main home again, going to build my nest
 
1:33 PM
@RhysW ????
 
@enderland i was less active here for a while, moved to another site, the sites good but the people are too hostile for my liking. coming back to nest at WP again
 
oooh
 
any site where influential members can berate you repeatedly just for using sources they don't like isn't a place i want to be
so whats new, other than some users repeatedly using this place as a forum
 
the internal job posting I want is not posted anymore
not surehow I feel about that...
 
@enderland oh thats a shame it sounded good
 
1:40 PM
@RhysW I'm not convinced it's filled though?
unless it was one of the "this person is going to take this job" types of things - the hiring manager had no interviews on his calendar between the posting and now :|
I'll find out tomorrow aftenroon I guess
 
@enderland ah i hate those things, they post it so it doesn tlook fixed
 
yeah.. who knwos
I'm talking to someone in that group tomorrow
 
@enderland it happened to my friend, he was on the other end though, they offered him the job but had to make it look like others had a shot
 
yup
 
any word from chad lately, havent seen him around, hope he hasnt thrown in the towel
 
1:44 PM
which might also work well for ME if I network into the position :|
maybe I'll shoot a quick email to the hiring manager
what's the worst that happens?
 
@enderland thats the spirit, no point letting a good job slip by
 
@RhysW though its unlikely 24 hours will make THAT big of difference
 
@enderland you never know
i went from being in sixth form to being a dropout, with an apprneticeship and a job overnight
 
maybe I will write that email then?
I'm torn hah
though
I guess, taking risk is part of life - and the downside here is not really that bad anyways?
 
@enderland i say go for it, whats the worst that hapens, they say no and you stay where you are?
 
1:55 PM
@RhysW right...
 
@enderland the risk is tiny compared to the size of the reward!
 
time to reach out and take full advantage of my network!
 
@enderland go crawl that web! see if you catch any flies (metaphors arent my strong suit)
 
lol
 
2:10 PM
i will never understand some of my coworkers!
 
2:26 PM
alrighty. sent the email @RhysW
 
@enderland good! Let us now how it goes wont you?

Q: How do I encourage co-workers to recycle?

ojblassOur facility is very large and we have recycle bins in all break rooms and eating areas. There are separate bins for plastic, aluminum, and trash. Current waste analysis shows that approximately 57% of items are placed in the proper bins. Our goal is 70%. What sort of incentive or program woul...

sigh, who has time to actually analyze the waste going into each and every bin?
 
@RhysW we have an entire department doing envirnonemtnal things
 
@enderland like dealing with geese?
 
@RhysW no, but when you make several billion in industrial products, you generate a lot of waste and have to deal with about a millon gov regulations
 
@enderland big difference between checking industrial waste and checking where 2 or 3 crisp packets go in the breakroom though!
 
2:43 PM
@enderland invited you to a room, not for any purpose just testing things out

I have almost as many gold badges on a site I posted 1 question on as I do the workplace. lol

Is there a better way of reporting a user other than making a meta post? We have one throwaway account that is spamming the same 'answer' all over.
 
6:22 PM
@acolyte just keep flagging and voting to delete. There are enough of us here often enough that the posts will go away quickly if they are in the queue/raised in chat, and the mods check in often enough that they'll see the activity and suspend as needed.
 
6:42 PM
@jcmeloni alright. I did make a Meta post after all, as i didn't see anyone online in this room at the time of my message.

8:42 PM
@acolyte For some perspective, by the time I answered your chat message, that user's three spam answers had already been deleted by the community and/or mods. That's pretty quick for a relatively low-traffic beta site!
 
@acolyte if someone hits enough spam flags it gets auto deleted, too
@jcmeloni must.... click.... notifications!
