Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's ironic, in a way. I was in an abusive work environment, with abusive clients, and had to dream up ways to efficiently do the job of three people. It was awful and I was there for over a decade trying to get out, but the methods I invented to make my hellish job easier helped me get hired where I am now.
Two weeks before I left I'm walking into work and I get the call that I've been hired to the job I have now, which has a much better culture and reasonable work load. I was so happy I skipped to work Dick Van Dyke-style and immediately put in my two weeks.
Had a replacement plan done in two days because I already had my tasks inventoried, since I had to keep very close track of my productivity to protect myself from HR and management. I had some tenure and was making more than other employees, and therefore a consistent target for layoffs.
Spent the last week and a half getting paid to do jack shit, though my asshole team did make me take my turn with the on-call pager, even though it made no fucking sense other than spite.
Overall, t'was glorious.
lol they can make you take the pager, but they can't make you answer it. what're they going to do, fire you?
