Grape posted:He promoted someone with worse sales results to a job involved in higher level sales, over someone with better sales results. He also said he's a great presenter, so I assume better than her, and that might be a factor in the new position as a closing sales rep. I think considering qualities other than pure sales figures is valuable if the new position requires other ones. It's impossible to actually know if what he did was the right or wrong thing based on that paragraph. All I can tell is that he's a terrible manager for not being able to pull the trigger without soul searching on the internet afterwards.

I just find it funny that apropos of nothing you assumed the OP was male, presumably because circa 2007 when the post was produced the idea of girls watching movies like this and playing video games was strange and foreign still. Also oddly ignoring the friend whining because of perceived slander against cops.

This sounds reasonable and all but ~for some reason~ intangible factors always wind up being to the detriment of minority candidates and mandatory metric-based guidelines generally wind up increasing both minority representation and overall performance but no I'm sure this guy is 100% objective in his evaluation of completely subjective qualities EDIT: like yeah it is within the realm of physical possibility he did in fact make the right call but his inability to quantify what makes the dude a better presenter is pretty telling the holy poopacy fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 13, 2019 |

AITA: For telling the parents of a crying baby in church to take their child outside.quote:I posted this over on r/Christianity and got absolutely slaughtered over there. You can check it out. I'm not asking for validation or for people to take my side, I just want to see what neutrals think. I've basically been made out by them as though I'm a disgusting human being, an awful piece of poo poo and a terrible Christian. So I'll leave you to be the jury.

He followed up the 2 people were the front line sales reps, doing all the cold calling and trying to score meetings where the pro sales teams go in to close the deals. It's not a promotion so much as a re-assignment to a different facing role. It still makes the presumption that the "intangibles" he sees in the male candidate are better then the female's. Also, like someone said in the comments, when women have that level of confidence they come off as bitchy and arrogant instead of strong and commanding.

Anyway, OP of the "friend offended by movie choice" post claims to be a woman in a previous post. But she also claims to be a vet tech a month ago, and a caregiver for autism clients yesterday. Maybe she's lying, maybe today's economy sucks and she needs both jobs/got fired recently. Who knows?

He's also bending over backwards to try to minimize her current front line position as not being "real" sales but that's 100% bullshit, it's absolutely a heavy lifting role.

My (35/f) brother (27/m) asked me for sex. I wish this was a fake post, this is such a hard to believe situation. A few days ago now, my [technically half] brother asked if he could confess something embarrassing, and then told me that he was sexually attracted to me and figured that there wasn't really anything in the way of us having sex if I wanted to???? We're both currently living with our dad (technically my stepdad, but my biological father has never been in the picture) who is single and gone most of the time, so it's usually just us here. We mostly stay in our own rooms but we used to be really close as kids and I've been trying to rekindle that by smoking weed with him, sharing food, trying to strike up conversation, things like that. Well, according to him he took it as me coming into him. We both had really hard childhoods with lots of abuse and exposure to things that I've had years and years of therapy trying to get past. I'm a really liberal person, very sex positive, extremely open minded, and I try very hard to be compassionate. I'm sure that in his perception, he was putting a lot of trust in me, so I was gentle about it and just told him no, that's really inappropriate and I'm not interested and I definitely wasn't trying to hit on him. Even since I told him no, however, I've felt like he's continued to try to subtly push for it, but idk if it's in my head. Maybe he's just trying to be nice, but now I'm suspicious of everything. I've been through a series of emotions over this, and then I went and spent Friday night with a fwb to get out of the house and get my mind off it and then kinda just stayed out of the house all sat. I'm back home now and I just feel SO UNCOMFORTABLE around my brother now. I hear him come out of his room and feel tense, I dread running into him in the hall, I feel guilty for avoiding him but gross about being in his view knowing he sees me that way. I'm saving up to move out, but this is such an easy and convenient living arrangement that I've been lazy about putting serious plans into motion. We live in an expensive US city and I'll have to move somewhere cheaper. It'll be another few months before I can afford to move if I begin saving aggressively. How unusual is this?? Any advice on how to navigate this? Tl;dr: Half brother wants to bone 🤢. Real life incest is way too far, even for someone as sex positive and impulsively promiscuous as me. Now things are really weird with him, obviously. Wtf?

Epic FOIPPA Violation, Medical Negligence, and Clinical Incompetency ..quote:Canada  quote:a doctor wouldn't send you a letter saying their patient can no longer see you. a doctor wouldn't even be able to tell you that your spouse is their patient in most circumstances. a doctor is also not gonna send you a professional letter from themselves and not sign it. your spouse was ok with impersonating a doctor in writing, but not forging a doctor's signature

If they are both smashing their number then it should be easy to get budget to fund two of the more senior role - sales jobs are the easiest to fund in as established business because they come with their own revenue target.

it's weird, but the only forms of media that don't affect your thinking are the ones that you, yes you, the person reading this, personally enjoy (video games and pornography). the media properties that do affect people's thinking are only the things your stupid dad likes (fox news, reading his own Patriots jersey out loud ("patriots!"))
