One thing I've learned from watching/listening to a bunch of webinars at work is that business consultants love to classify people into different groups.

lol if you posted:just plain old wiki. but it cites this study: It sounds like the 37% figure comes from patients presenting with clinical symptoms, which is going to be a fraction of overall bites. Brown recluses are known for dry bites and they're small enough that bites may not even register, so he proportion of necrosis cases out of all bites is going to be much smaller than the proportion in patients who had clinically significant effects.

It's also a way for people who want to manage employees but have no personal skills to try and find a "cheat code." There's tons of tests, team-building exercises, etc. out there that get marketed to management types to teach them how to learn about their employees and the best way to deal with them. It's always the type of owners and managers who need to use them because they don't know how to talk to people like human beings if they're not in the same social group and they think you can lifehack yourself into control.

HR managers in bigger corps are also often incentivized to bring in new bullshit tests, because doing stuff differently plays better for their performance goals than just doing stuff the same way.

Great, let's exclusively focus on that! Six months from now: Why must every single meeting turn into a massive debate? How come none of our departments are willing to work together? Where's the spirit of self-sacrifice?

MagusofStars posted:It's even dumber when it's used for hiring and promotion decisions. Because how it actually works in practice is that managers using these tests look down the list of personality traits, pick ONE specific trait/personality/whatever as The Unquestioned Best (despite the tests themselves specifically saying that each one has both strengths and weaknesses), and then try to fit everything into that no matter what...but then can't understand why their team ends up being a dysfunctional mess. And those aggressively ambitious people never stay where you want them. If you hire them for an important position that doesn’t give them sufficient control and influence, they’ll either demand to be put there after a while or leave. Sometimes you just need worker bees who don’t want to get promoted to the top of the ladder at every single job.

I'm a proud squiggle, and I loving hate squares and triangles because they're made of straight lines. I hope they all die. I'm fine with circles, but only if they're angle-celibate. Eat my poo poo squares and triangles.

with that fanfic revenge story, I've noticed that redditors really loving hate when someone who's being oppressed stands up for themselves. Unless they're being oppressed by non-white people. The idea of someone standing up to oppression seems to make them all kinds of sweaty, which is why they always see retaliation as worse than whatever the oppressor did first. They know they deserve it. they think victims should know their place.

I don't think the OP is Australian, but may have contracted brain worms by exposure to Australians. We do body weight in kilos, wouldn't say "french fries" referring to maccas fries, don't say soda (it'd be soft drink or just coke), don't measure ice cream in pints unless it's beer ice cream I guess. I'm conflicted though because diet consisting entirely of ice cream, quarter pounders, eggs and canned spam is pretty australian male.

I (22M) want to propose to my 4-month long girlfriend (19F) before I leave for Vancouver from Montrealquote:My situation: I was supposed to graduate bachelor's in July but due to the fact I got a full-time, permanent job, I decided to delay my graduation and take only one class in the fall semester to complete my degree. On Nov/15, I got laid off from the full-time job so I'm penniless and would have to pick up a minimum wage job to pay for rent + food (Montreal). I had already booked a flight from Montreal to Vancouver to visit parents during December holidays but since I got laid off, I can just cancel the return ticket and remain in Vancouver, pick up a job, stay with parents, eat with parents, and save money, and look for other opportunities.

Q. The hand that fate dealt me: quote:Sixteen-plus years ago, I met a man at a nightclub and we had an amazing connection. He was a young elementary school teacher and I was a college student. We danced the night away, and when the time came for us to exchange digits I thought it was romantic to tell him, “If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again.” You see, in the early 2000s I was obsessed with the movie Serendipity. What girl wasn’t really? As time passed, I genuinely hoped I would run into him and definitely regretted that numbers were never exchanged. However, I eventually met the man who would become my husband and I figured that it was obviously not meant to be. I forgot about him.

Ugly In The Morning posted:One of the comments I (22M) am overly stressed about having a relationship with my girlfriend (19F) quote:I met this girl on Bumble since July 18th of this year and we've been dating ever since. We're red hot in terms of our love for each other and we've both made it abundantly clear that we are in it for the long term. (She even mentioned something about what our babies might look like). I feel like it's because she's a bit immature considering she's a bit younger than me. Anyways, here is the issue: as a recent college grad living in the city, I'm not satisfied with my job prospects. I'm working full-time at a job at my university's student society but it pays dismally low. I want to do more school so I can land a better paying/more stable job; but NOT in the current city; I'm sick and tired of my mentally ill roommate who is an elderly lady that keeps on yelling at me, I'm at a tipping point where I can no longer contain her. I've never yelled in my life before and last month I shouted at her because I just can't take it anymore. My roommate hates it when my gf sleeps over (which is fair). I can move out to accomodate my gf (she said she doesn't want to split the rent b/c she wants to save up for university, which is also fair )and search for an apartment on my own, but I want to do more studies, which would mean that I would have to quit my current job, have no income, take out more loans for tuition + a more expensive studio + food. Furthermore, the cost of a studio is way more expensive. I want to move to the city my parents live so they could potentially help me out with food and/or rent and/or tuition for further studying. I just feel so stressed about balancing work, relationship, school, parents (and their expectations), and crazy roommate. That's why I feel like leaving my current city, breaking up with gf, and then move in with my parents and continue to do more school for a better career prospect. I (22M) am obsessed with my girlfriend (19F). How do I solve this? quote:I met this girl on Bumble in mid-July and we've been dating ever since. Although we come from very different ethnicity and backgrounds, I still fell for her. I think I can say the same about her. I think this relationship is beginning to take a toll on my emotional and daily well-being. I would always prioritize meeting her. She would always prioritize her tasks before meeting with me. Friend's birthday party, homework, part-time job...etc. My thoughts are always about her, when I'm listening to music, when I'm walking in the streets. This morning, I stayed in bed longer and came to work 1.5 hrs late just because I didn't wanna leave our bed (we don't live together, she just sleeps over sometimes). I'm at work right now and I'm writing this instead of working. Partially because I really don't have that much tasks at work (my job is not that great), partially because I really think about her a lot.

AITA for calling my fiancé a 'brood sow'?quote:I (32m) was joking with my fiancé (31f) today that we'd have 100 babies together. I said that she'd be my brood sow, thinking a brood sow was a spider queen, one who'd spawned a wonderful/terrifying brood of 100s of children. The saying 'sow one's oats' has clear sexual overtones. Therefore, a brood sow must be a spider that sows all sorts of oats. My fiancé grew up on a farm and was quick to let me, a city boy, know that a sow is a female pig and a brood sow is a female pig who's only purpose was to breed pigs for slaughter.

AITA for telling my kids they could not have a relationship with their dad's new girlfriend?quote:I am 43F, and my ex-husband is 45M. We have two children 9F and 11F. My ex-husband and I got divorced one year ago, and about two seconds after we got divorced, he started dating a 22 year old co-worker. As far as I know, he wasn't her direct supervisor and there was no HR issue in their office, since they are openly in a relationship for the past year and there seems to be no repercussions at work. My husband and I share custody of our kids, and since his girlfriend is over at his place a lot, now that they've been going out for almost a year. AITA for telling my ex that our kids should have no relationship with his new girlfriend and that our kids can come over to his place during his time of the week, only if the girlfriend is not staying in his house during the same time? I think their relationship is very inappropriate, because of the massive age difference and the power disparity that would arise from that, not just in the workplace, but in general too? 142 comments and nearly unanimous YTA
