  • Not sure why so many people here comment that your communication style is vague.

    Both instructions and issue are clear. Send product after notification was sent via mail. Colleague did that and aso sent the mail again, which had already been sent.

    Why people are talking about the product being sent as the issue in thus scenario is beyond me.

    As for a solution: Let them repeat back to you what they’re supposed to do in their own words to verify you’re both on the same page, before the do what they need to do.

    If you have tried this unsuccessfully, I have no further suggestions without a whole lot more detail except for: ask theco worker in question how they would have phrased the task if they had given it to someone else. Try and learn what their style of communication is and adjust for that particular colleague.



  • Usually it’s the same users who always come into discussions in bad faith and simply argue against whatever is being said. There are a few people I have had blocked for months now and my experience as improved a lot.

    My only gripe is, that I can still see them in my threads in the unread messages of kbin, and that kinda sucks.

    But since the community at large is fairly small, it’s not super difficult to eliminate the constant gripers and argumentative folks from your experience.



  • Hate this. I work as a PO. Praise my devs every chance I get both internally and towards our clients. Always pass on positive feedback and use negative feedback only translated into priority weights.

    I see my job as keeping stakeholders at bay and let them do their job. I bundle requests into feature requests that cover as many current and future needs as possible, but never without internal meetings first.

    Just getting sales to stop making deals on feature requirements with clients was a very long uphill battle that we have mostly won. Now it all goes through my team first and we always do estimates with our development teams. Takes a bit of time, takes a bit longer, but never have I seen a client get back to us with the same urgency as they request a quote anyway. If they can not wait a week, they won’t be a good fit for what we are doing and how we do things.

    Posts like these make me feel accomplished :D








  • Atypical really gave an amazing insight into how neurodiverse people experience life and what their challenges are. One of the very best shows I have ever seen. Refreshing to have the main character be neurodiverse but no the butt of the joke like other shows used to deal with the topic most of the time.

    It also showcases the many issues around someone with such a different life.

    Helped me to be kinder to myself just as much as simply being more considerate of people around me. I don’t know them. I don’t know what is going on in their mind and why they act like they do. While I always attempted to be respectful of everyones reality, getting such an intimate and respectful glimpse was pretty important.


  • Sind halt nicht nur die Boomer. Kenne leider einige mittleren Alters, die diesem unfug genauso anhängen, wie die älteren Generationen. Wo ich wohne ist auch alles voll mit FCK GRN oder so einem Unfug Stickern.

    Punkt ist, wir sollten uns nicht vormachen, dass das nur ein Problem der älteren Generationen wäre.
