  • when you feel like no matter what you do, it's not enough

    when you don't care to do better than necessary

    when you think negatively about work when you're not at work

    when you stop going outside your own scope of work and start letting shit fall apart because somebody else didn't do their job or nobody knew whose job it was, and you could have avoided the situation by pointing it out ahead of time

  • right, so it's really just arguing over the definition, and thus each side is having a different argument

    however you want to call it, sweeping is not a high skill task.

  • nah, I just think it's dumb to say "but everything is a skill" like it's some gotcha

    sweeping is a skill you can learn very quickly. it's not complicated. you don't need special training to do it. the reason you can't be effective on day one is that you need to learn the processes of the job, not because you need to learn the skill. you can be effective at sweeping, but not effective in your role because somebody is expending time and effort to teach you the processes. not because you have to learn how to sweep.

  • people always say this, but I don't recall anybody proposing a better term

    I agree with your statement, but I recognize that the term "unskilled" in this context means something different than you and I would like it to

  • no shit they won't be as efficient. but they can do it without requiring weeks or months or years of training

    edit: to clarify, I also don't think that there's a job where somebody can effectively perform it on day one (unless they have already learned the skills in a previous job in a similar role). but I do think that there are jobs where somebody can become a net contributor within a few days. like vacuuming. I used to have a job vacuuming apartment buildings and doing general cleaning maintenance. two days of training and I was good to go for all the buildings in the roster

  • I said I could start that task once I was provided with the requirements, and that it would take me three days. I have not received the list of requirements.

  • because it's shoved in my face over and over again

    because shitty tools marketed as AI powered are replacing the tools that used to exist and did a better job

    because the current state of it is clearly bad for sustainability

    because it's not even fucking AI

  • did the HR guy piss off when you explained the situation, or keep it going?

  • tbf, I actually should have done that on this car. I didn't realize when I bought just how difficult it would be in the future to find a suitable replacement. so now it will live until the frame falls apart

    in retrospect, I should have known. wagons were already off the new market when I bought this one.

  • then you get an even smaller effective area

  • .. that's already handled by the retro reflective nature

  • right, but you do have to approach it. I think the question is more "how are people not being tracked from blocks away"

  • at best, you get to speak to an AI chatbot

  • lol I was just kidding. I got it done when I got the car.

  • every two years I try to do spending analysis and load up ynab again (the original desktop version)

    it lasts shorter every time I do it, and I just revert back to "okay I make about this much, these are my bills and savings that automatically transfer/pay, so I should be able to spend around x amount" and then just keeping an eye on minimum balances. I just can't do all the work categorizing spending like I just don't really care where I'm spending money, as long as it's within reason

  • The landlord provides a place to live the same way that ticket scalpers provide tickets

  • between flock and doorbell cams, you'd certainly need to take precautions carefully

    hopefully someday soon we reach a critical mass where the average person realizes how fucking shit and assholey these LED headlights are

  • I guess it's a good thing that headlights point in front of you then and illuminate where you're going

    now, if you have those shitty fucking LED headlights that are so bright you have to aim them down so you can't see things at chest height, that's user error

  • hopefully the company that advertised it as 100% silicone is sued into oblivion and folds and the people responsible suffer real consequences

    I fucking hate false advertising.
