How would you approach handling NAA and VLQ flags? How would you enforce Back It Up and Don't Repeat Others rules? How do you plan to moderate hot questions?

Here's the question (partial quote): How do I handle a manager who lacks leadership skills? I am a software engineer with considerable qualifications. My manager is a high school drop out, who is, despite that, quite qualified technically and very intelligent. However, on more than a few...

. Everyone. . I have one year experience in I.T. industry. . . I have been in two technologies in this one year. Five months experience in Java and 8 months experience in mainframes. I want to pursue my career in Java. My current employer is not allowing me to pursue my career in Java. Is it poss...

Recently my manager has had an interest in doing what I do, software development. He has started to do his own learning but now has asked me to teach him and even started a project that was meant for me. Is this a bad sign?

The default bottom part of the site overlaps the flagging reasons dialog

Attached screenshot of the review queue, under the Windows version of Chrome. I'm unable to see the bottom stuff in the panel. If I scroll down/up, I see more of it, but never the whole thing.

It looks like there's another issue with flagging in the 10k user tools. Here is what it looks like: As you can see, the container for the content seems to be the cutoff for where I can see the dialog. The background of the site seems to be above the flag dialog (which is bad). Unlike the...

Change to another employer. The reason I make this recommendation is that we can infer, based on the original information that you provided in your post and in the additional information that you provided in your follow-ups to your post, that the manager's actions and behavior have been consi...

I'm in a situation now where I'm currently employed, but basically fed up with my current employer. One big issue of contention is, the schedule I work, for lack of a better term. My current employer is extremely insistent on me (and the rest of my colleagues) being at the office, between 08:00...

I can tell you that, for me, having Mensa on a resume would act as somewhat of a negative from a hiring point of view. I deal with and hire highly educated and highly capable people almost exclusively (post doc to masters), and this would not be a good indicator of a team player in my estimation....

I thnk our top person should get something extra in her packet. @bethlakshmi really deserves it.

I am a software engineer with considerable qualifications. My manager is a high school drop out, who is, despite that, quite qualified technically and very intelligent. However, on more than a few issues he is a terrible leader, due to his lack of training as a leader and lack of knowledge as a p...

Expanding the criteria for auto-protection has been discussed in the past: Should we automatically protect all questions with more than N answers? But I think that discussion addresses the wrong problem: Protecting a question with a large number of answers doesn't do anything to fix the probl...

I started looking for jobs today and I encountered the term "working knowledge". I do not really understand what the term means and I am wondering what kind of tasks I would be expected to do with "working knowledge" of given software/language. Specifically, the job post i saw asked for "working...

"Working Knowledge" reflects a low-level competency in an area - you will be expected to work with the tool, but not necessarily to be an expert in that tool. If you don't feel like you would be able to build a full product with the tool, BUT you feel like you could, with a little trial-and-er...

I am recently returning to system development after more than a decade in other things. I live in Peru but would like to find work with a company in the UK that allows developers to work remotely. Can anyone give me some advice on job searching? I have a general description of the type of job o...

In the hot field of software engineering, a competent programmer wanting to switch jobs will be able to apply and interview easily for at least a half dozen jobs. However, coordinating the speed at which the interview and eventually offer process occurs can be a nightmare. For example, I intervi...

I had an interview with company A (4 days ago). The manager called me yesterday to go back today to talk about the paid. But I had an interview today, so I told him that I need to see a doctor. For sure, any person would know the truth, but I don't like the job. I had an interview with company ...

I've seen this slightly answered here but I the circumstances are different. I'm not a part time college student, but a full time employee of three years. I don't have any vacation time left for the year, I have 10 sick/vacation days in total this year, and what I haven't used is earmarked for ...
