lumpentroll posted:AITA for trying to get my (40M) employee (24F) to do her job? quote:I told her she couldn't do the training with that coworker during work time, which is why she scheduled it with him after work. She was doing it on our company zoom and working on company projects, so even if it's after work hours, it's still "work time" in my book. I don't like people working late in general, but if she wanted to do that, there was design work that would've been more appropriate for her to do. You can't do training during work time. YOU CAN'T DO IT AFTER EITHER quote:I've explained to my boss that we should fire her and hire someone else, but she says that the employee is doing a good job. Even if she's not trying to actively "avoid work," part of being an adult is taking incentive and she's failing at that basic task. I think he meant "Taking initiative" lol What an rear end in a top hat.

AITA for not taking my wife's side and admitting that she overreacted??quote:Some background: My wife is a makeup artist, She always has those heavy makeup looks on which can be weird for me as guy sometimes, but she loves it and enjoys it so no problems there. though my friends and family tend to make funny, lighthearted comments on her makeup which she seems to take too seriously.

I've never seen someone use the phrase "team dad/parent" without them having a massively inflated sense of their own importance and completely unaware of how their subordinates actually view them.Midnight Voyager posted:You can't do training during work time. Also lol you woke up part of my brain with that phrase for one of the funniest posts I can remember. I was fired for taking initiative quote:Last summer, I decided to re-enter the workforce after five years of raising my kids. I applied to a bunch of jobs that I thought I could do, and got an interview at this one very small company (~20 employees). The people I interviewed with – my future manager and her boss/the COO – were upfront with me that I didn’t possess the exact qualifications that they were looking for, but I interviewed well and they decided to give me a few (paid) one-off assignments to see if I would be able to learn what I needed to do the job. I proved myself and they brought me on full-time. Mr. Fix It posted:big peggy hill energy pentyne fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Feb 6, 2022 |

lumpentroll posted:AITA for trying to get my (40M) employee (24F) to do her job? Either I'm bad at reading (frequent occurrence) or there is a mess of contradictions in here. The obvious one is "I'm not her boss, but I'm her boss kinda anyway haha!" But then the work load one is....??? All this "I keep doing extra work then she doesn't do the work I did for her (LAZY)" with zero implication that he is communicating to her about whatever extra crap he's doing, and just wants her to magically figure out where his (non authoritative) expectations are and do them. He must be a really fun husband too. Gonna be a really fun dad.

Blastedhellscape posted:As someone who's relatively tall and usually doesn't even notice if a dude is short I find this really sad. Seriously: I have a cousin who's taller than her husband, and I never thought about it until my grandmother took me aside and whispered "Don't you think it's odd when a woman is taller than the man she's with?" and I was like "What? No? Who cares?" Male Height is one of those things where it doesn't matter, until it does, and you shouldn't raise a fuss about it, except when you should. But the one consistent thing every short dude has to learn is "never be preemptive or aggressive about height stuff, especially if/when you've found people who seem to genuinely like you." This dude nuked his life because he couldn't fathom other people not caring. lumpentroll posted:AITA for trying to get my (40M) employee (24F) to do her job?

If you've got actual hard evidence like video/audio and not just hearsay from classmates, maybe. Otherwise it's your word versus theirs and administration ain't gonna give a gently caress unless they really think you could rake them over the coals. Can you? If you have to ask you probably can't.

I hate to be this guy but, how do you have a roughly smartphone-shaped $7k device out on the table during an exam and not have like, some kind of sign to indicate it's an insulin pump, or pre-emptively notifying the invigilators? It seems like what happened was basically inevitable? e: just googled the model, it looks like a little zune or something, definitely something an ignorant invigilator would think you could cheat with

quote:AITA for trying to get my (40M) employee (24F) to do her job? Goddamn I’ve had a couple supervisors (not fake self-appointed) like that and they’re the absolute worst. Simultaneously control freaks but also intensely passive aggressive and incapable of articulating what they want. There’s also an annoying thing I’ve experienced as a woman in the workforce where guys will act like they’re taking you under their wing and give you no loving feedback, no direction, just condescending pats on the head whenever you ask for help or approval (which they seem to think is “supportive”?). Eventually, because they’ve repeatedly cut you off at the knees from learning or growing in the role and roadblocked you from more challenging assignments, they get frustrated by your “underperformance” and lash out. I bet she’s doing training with the other guy because he’s actually willing to communicate with her and help grow her skills. Crocobile fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Feb 6, 2022 |

It seems like what happened was basically inevitable? The confrontation was inevitable and could have been avoided if she had made the professor aware of her condition (she also could have gotten accommodations to bring a snack into the exam.) But it's college, you don't just snatch a student's cell phone and tell them their parents can pick it up from the principal's office at the end of the day.

Why do you need to take it off of your body/waistband when you can control it with your phone? Why are you trying to control it at all? The point of this device is to manage all of that. There are a lot of questions here and I don't feel like enough information has been provided. In fact it feels like a a lot of critical information has not been provided.

In fact it feels like a a lot of critical information has not been provided. Body/waistband can be uncomfortable when sitting down for an extended period of time, like for example-- during a college exam. Being able to fidget with an insulin device in the hope it stabilizes nerves might not be sympathetic to you, but it's very understandable from the "this is a nervous young adult human animal and subject to imperfection" perspective. Now I'm being a harsh pedantic dickhead about the kid not having a strong enough case to just slam dunk it through the administration, but now you're platforming like prosecution and it's a poo poo look. Yes, the kid should have told the prof. about it. Lesson learned. They shouldn't be out $7k for the mistake, and the dipshit who grabbed it should be on the hook for treating a college student like a snot-nosed middle schooler.
