@JazzgeMica The hypocrisy runs much, much deeper

@gidds We have meetings anytime we need them, anyone can create a meeting and send to other to see if they can attend, we usually do that with like 30 to 45 mins to the reunion, but It can be scheduled months in advance if need be.I don't discourage non-work-related chat if its outside of the office.
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@gidds Thank you, that's exactly the number 1 reason for the unspoken rule.
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@mxyzplk in a space you're supposed not to talk, not at work. There are plenty of spaces the individual can speak in his breaks.

@mattfreake The CEO of the company, this is only a department that I am managing, he's aware of the situation and told me I should be the one deciding since it's my department
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@mattfreake I don't have a manager, I am the one who delegates the work and manages the department, it's not a big company.

@AidaPaul always thought that Intro was people who were more shy etc and extro people who just are outgoing and energetic
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@AidaPaul I started this way, then an intern came and stayed, adopted the same thing I did. Then 1 more did the same. We are all developers, we have no reason to speak to each other outside meetings since everything is addressed there, most decisions need to be written and logged so emails and IMs help a ton at that. I don't understand your shock, why is it bizarre ? Why would you start talking about your weekend unprompted ? Do you believe other people are interested ? I know by this point it's an introvert vs extrovert thing, I'm trying to understand why he would feel that need.
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@cdkMoose Clearly the subject is extroverted in nature, nothing against that. He just likes to speak about his personal life (even if it goes nowhere, like just retelling a story that happened to him) during work hours which in my team isn't prohibited, but it's discouraged as it leads to distractions. Plus, as I explained, we avoid talking out loud or loud noises in general.
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@AidaPaul Unfortunately no we don't have that in our process, just a regular interview where the subject admittedly was nervous and didn't speak much. He's been with us for 3 months now
Apr 24, 2024 17:52
@mattfreake I don't have the mindset that everyone is special in their own way, to me, we are all replaceable, and we all would be replaced in a blink of an eye.Nobody deserves anything, everything is earned. Having him feeling like we were interested in his life was rude, I do not care about his life, at all.

@AidaPaul I had some problems with my accent and kind of realized that if you just gesticulate more with your mouth, (like open more your mouth) the accent is less perceived.

@localhost You just can't, either omit your last 5 years and say that you had some personal issues that prevented you from working, or ignore it completly and if asked pretend to be confused. 5 years of experience would be when you start making real money and get responsability, do you really believe you can't do any better ?

Nice to know, thank you

Yes but due to a loophole of portuguese law, if they dont come to work after 3 weeks they are canned, independently of anything related to protected charactereistics

2) Your bosses demand that things take place only in employee's own time may be outright illegal, if any other employee is allowed to get surgery or medical treatment during work time. This is a medical course of treatment

This is a non issues since any surgery time off is covered by the government, its the norm here, even if you had a really bad headache
Nov 21, 2023 09:27
Yes Portugal also doesn't have "neutral" pronouns, It's either he or she, "they" don't apply, since "they" is gendered also (Eles/Elas)
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@Kilisi I value your opinion, i've seen you arround.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@Kilisi Perhaps indeed. I like to think everyone deserves a second chance. My Team is taken care of, they just spend too much time making fun of X and the details she shared. They aren't right too, if I fired X I would need to fire my whole team for being unprofessional and discussing the private life of X.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@Kilisi I know, but I can't, we dont have an HR department, every team leader is responsible for handling this type of stuff, I Ducked up due to being shocked. I can't go back, I just want to help X stay and have a great career.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@TymoteuszPaul I'm already enrolled in sensitive training, I know this is an issue and I have been trying to get It under control (my SE timeouts speak for themselvs). I might never agree with X, but I damn sure will respect his opinion and right to do what ever X wants to do with X's body.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@Kilisi It was following the revelation X was going to have surgery.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@TymoteuszPaul I will edit to reflect that, I didn't think this could be insulting, since some people do use both.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@A.S I don't have the authority to do that, and I didn't want to seem that I was against the transition per se, because that's the focus, I was also astonished by the guts He/she had in order to do it, I was flabbergasted for lack of words. Also the higher ups left the decision up to me and shes a good programmer.
Nov 20, 2023 23:55
@TymoteuszPaul She/he did say they were going to transition, but didnt yet tell me if they prefer to be treated by they/them or He/Him

My god, this chat was legendary, but I still can't conceive of a model that would unify everything, let alone without any error.
 
Oct 26, 2023 11:27
I'm not asking for reason why the deity does X or Y, i just need rituals that fit what it wants, i need examples, ideas, i guess this website is not for that.
Oct 26, 2023 11:17
@jdunlop those are examples of torture. I'm not looking for that, the deity accepts both good and bad, and people wouldn't like having only bad feelings, I feel like pleasure would be practiced too, just less because they think the deity prefers bad feelings (I feel like a toddler saying bad feelings)
Oct 26, 2023 11:17
A tangent to the post, is there any rule against describing gore ? Or would it just be rude/unwanted?
Oct 26, 2023 11:17
Thank you all for commenting on what I need to do better on my question, it's the first question I post here so I knew it wouldn't be perfect, yes I do kind of want a brainstorm because I've looked everywhere and can't find any ritual that fits my needs. That being said tomorrow morning I will update the question to reflect the advice given in the comments. Have a great night.
 
Oct 25, 2023 16:06
Cheers, thanks for the clarification.
Oct 25, 2023 16:06
Im too cool for skool xD
Oct 25, 2023 16:06
I don't follow rules sorry buddy
Oct 25, 2023 15:54
Any website where brainstorm is actually welcome ?
Oct 25, 2023 15:54
Yeah i get ruining that by wanting them to change it to something they probably dont want to isnt gonna do any good
Oct 25, 2023 15:53
At roleplaying games we have a huge library of “history of gaming” and other “trivia” type questions that have nothing to do with any “actual problem” at the table of play. Sometimes the “actual problem” is just that you want to know something, but I think that’s a different sort of thing than the tour is asking for when it says “actual problem”. –

The community does what it wants with it. Wanna post porn ? +18 warning and we are cool. Wanna have a blog like subreddit ? Don't let people post there, they can still read.
Oct 25, 2023 15:50
Have you ever browsed reddit ? Reddit Subs are different then reddit.
Oct 25, 2023 15:50
Say the whole community votes to have open-ended questions, could SE just say "no" ?
Oct 25, 2023 15:48
I know, but can we not change it at will ? like a mod or something cant just rewrite them if they see fit ?
Oct 25, 2023 15:47
Its a genuine question i didn't know there were rules made by SE and the Community
Oct 25, 2023 15:47
Yes, but arent those community written ? As in if the community wants to have opinion based questions can we ?
Oct 25, 2023 15:46
Ah my bad you meant SE instead of SO sry.
Oct 25, 2023 15:45
SE might
Oct 25, 2023 15:45
SO doesnt

Theres a truth behind the statement, its not an opinion.

What heated discussions ? Trying to prove A is better then B should never get heated
