Did you ask them about the appointment they missed after they contacted you? What did they message?

@Lilienthal Thanks for the explanation and I understand completely you don't go into details.
Sep 30, 2021 12:15
@gnat Yeah that's true, although comments can get removed quick-ish so I don't tend to see them all that often.
Sep 30, 2021 12:14
@GregoryCurrie Haha, fair enough
Sep 30, 2021 08:59
If this isn't discussed/disclosed by the mods I fully understand, but I was just curious since he is a high-rep user.
Sep 30, 2021 08:58
Not sure if it's appropriate to ask here - but I saw user Fattie got his account suspended (for the second time recently if I remember correctly). Now I now his answers can be a bit controversial at times, but I was wondering if the way he answers is enough reason to get your account suspended or if something else is going on?

What would be your goal by addressing this? Convince them that racism is bad, or to keep their views to themselves, or a clarification on the statement or something else?

Did you talk to your manager about what you do expect? And are your colleagues facing the same struggles?

@Tinkeringbell Woohoo
Feb 25, 2021 15:15
Posted and removed from the sandbox!
Feb 25, 2021 15:12
Hahaha fair enough
Feb 25, 2021 15:12
Kidding! Thanks for your feedback, I'll post it :)
Feb 25, 2021 15:11
@Tinkeringbell Oh no! How could you
Nov 18, 2020 10:45
Hahaha fair enough, eating is quite nice
Nov 18, 2020 10:40
What a sucky manager though.. Did you manage to get a part-time job now to write more?
Nov 18, 2020 10:40
Aah okay, understandable that you're hesitant with sharing then
Nov 18, 2020 10:27
@Ael Wouldn't sharing goals/aspirations with a manager make sense?
Nov 18, 2020 09:16
Good Morning!
Nov 17, 2020 12:24
@CaldeiraG \o
Nov 17, 2020 12:09
There's a whole stack of ~2.5 year old iphones at my employer, with the new ones being used for 2FA like yours.. It's insane
Nov 17, 2020 12:07
Yeah, of course. They'll probably toss it otherwise, so why not ask..
Nov 17, 2020 12:06
I've never known employers to be happy when an employee starts tinkering (sorry...) with their own phone though
Nov 16, 2020 16:05
@CaldeiraG I'll take a look!
Nov 16, 2020 16:03
@CaldeiraG I might be interested to look into it a bit, once I have some more free time
Nov 16, 2020 16:02
@CaldeiraG A that's not too bad. Good luck with the final 30 then
Nov 16, 2020 16:00
I'll be back
Nov 16, 2020 16:00
Anyway - my work day is over - thanks for the warm welcome here!
Nov 16, 2020 16:00
Ah okay - it does seem like a sort of fun project to try to make this more intelligent
Nov 16, 2020 15:58
Hmm yeah that sounds like too much work..
Nov 16, 2020 15:57
A yeah that makes sense then.
Nov 16, 2020 15:53
Why Ruby?
Nov 16, 2020 15:48
@CaldeiraG Yeah who knows! I'll keep trying anyway :p
Nov 16, 2020 15:42
Thanks @lila!
Nov 16, 2020 15:38
Except that it didn't account for the fact that I don't (didn't, at least..) have enough discipline.
Nov 16, 2020 15:33
@CaldeiraG I'm actually currently not even working on AI anymore, that whole world domination part failed miserably :(
Nov 16, 2020 15:32
Yeah, I'll probably return at some point, but I was a bit too addicted to the endless scrolling and drama. So I wanted a sort of hard reset.
Nov 16, 2020 15:28
I wrote that description 3.5 years ago I think, might be good to update it..
Nov 16, 2020 15:27
I needed a replacement for wasting time since I removed my reddit account...
Nov 16, 2020 15:27
Yeah, I've recently become a bit more active on SE in general, so I thought I'd check the chat out as well
Nov 16, 2020 15:25
But that description is quite outdated by now
Nov 16, 2020 15:25
@CaldeiraG hahaha yeah
Nov 16, 2020 15:21
Thanks!
Nov 16, 2020 15:20
Wow - such fancy
Nov 16, 2020 15:20
I just saw it change when I asked my previous question
Nov 16, 2020 15:20
Correct
Nov 16, 2020 15:19
Okay another question, totally unrelated to the previous one - why do some posts in this chat have a score (I assume summed reputation?) below the username, but other posts by the same user don't?
 
Feb 16, 2021 04:15
Would an outcome where you can compensate the duration of the meeting on another day (stay for meeting two hours today, leave two hours early tomorrow) be acceptable? Or do you want answers to focus solely on saying no to this?
Feb 16, 2021 04:15
Do you have any clue as to why your manager insists on having these meetings outside working hours? And (not sure if relevant) do you have unusual working hours?
 
Feb 14, 2021 19:58
What topic is your research on? It shouldn't matter too much, but if you're in e.g. gender studies, people will look at it differently compared to when you're in a STEM field.
 
Nov 21, 2020 02:56
Is there a reason he might consider you unfocused other than that you might ask for a day off? (in the weekend...) And are there other PhDs in your research group that want to attend the games?
