Cythereal posted:It was called Shapes of Motivation, and it's aimed at training managers about how different kinds of employees have different reasons for coming in to work and understanding what motivates different people. Squares only exist for charities or religious institutions. Hexagons are just triangles in training. Circles are retirees whose children stopped talking to them after they grew up and moved out of the house. I guess these people are selling management the fantasy that there's something other than money that they can use to get labor.

Skwirl posted:Gift cards are super popular with businesses because a certain portion of them are never used. Even in a state where they aren't allowed to expire, they get lost permanently or at the very least prices might have risen to the point that $25 gift card buys a lot less of their supplies than when the gift card was originally bought. neat, I knew/heard about the lost giftcards and expired ones before, but hadnt thought about the possible change in buying power from when its made and if its finally spent years later. Also yeah the sigma with giving cash is dumb and weird and I wished it didnt happen so I could give cash itself and not have to waste a 5$ fee on visa/master/ or amex card fees SimonChris posted:Yes, which also means they don't even pay taxes on the paid amount until the card is redeemed, at which point the liability is converted to revenue. also neat, learning about more fin magics today.

I'm guessing the point isn't so much that Squares don't care about the money as it is that they're invested for other reasons too whereas a Triangle has a purely transactional relationship with that business. Like, assuming the Square can get by on what they're currently making they might not leave for a slightly better paying job because it's not work they're passionate about whereas a Triangle probably would.

I've done two of these at two different jobs and both times it was someone the manager knew running it, being paid 3-5k per diem for the privilege of getting us to do idiotic "team building" exercises.

It was a lot of that, and a lot of stuff along the lines of "If you have a big to-do with clients, it may be worth getting your Squares and Circles even if they're on paper less qualified than your Triangles and Hexagons, a Square who's passionate about what they do is likely to make a better impression than a Triangle who's superbly technically skilled but only shows up for a paycheck" and "Consider the composition of your office before handing out big rewards, Circles may appreciate a big office party but Triangles would likely prefer a free vacation day or a bonus, Hexagons are likely more interested in a chance for advanced training or a party specifically with networking opportunities, and Squares may get the most out of a certificate or photograph or other tangible reminder of their achievement."

..What? Pete Davidson doesn't look like, fat or anything here, so what's the deal? "If you're not literally a body builder, you're a disgusting slob"? He's always been a skinny dude. If we wanna go by "toxic masculinity" rules, Joe Rogan is a pussy for only getting arm tattoos, while Pete's got 'em all over.  https://twitter.com/YankReb69/status/1459980206555504652

Sorry to touch back on the Pete Davidson/Joe Rogan thing, but...is it really such a "gotcha" that "photo of man posing for picture with professional lighting, airbrushing, edited backgrounds, etc." may look better than "candid (probably unedited) photo of a guy walking on a sidewalk"? That's like those "REPUBLICAN WOMEN: [all glamourous headshots] DEMOCRAT WOMEN: [all unflattering photos of women mid-talking or sneezing]" posts.

Skwirl posted:I work for the post office and there are super strict rules about gifts from customers (I work in a sorting capacity so I don't get those, it's the carriers that get that). Can't be worth more than 10 bucks, can't be cash, can be a gift card but can't be a prepaid credit card. you're doing god's work out there. I came in as an MHA last october, had a miserable half a year, got doing a bit better, but in the end... it's still drat hard work for not enough pay, especially with the two-tier system that new employees have to deal with. If I was on the payscale for the older folks i'd still be there, probably. Shoutout and keep safe dude.

PhazonLink posted:but that site shows Visa and Mastercard? If you can afford to, you can issue a Visa or Mastercard-branded card. The goddamn Kardashians had a Visa card (white-label, but you've probably never heard of that company). Now as to the distinction between a debit card and a credit card: primarily, the former is backed by an account balance, the latter with the balance of a line of credit, with each having a distinct BIN. Secondarily, uncaptured debit card authorizations used to expire much more rapidly than credit card authorizations, but I do not believe this is still the case.
