Okay, tell me about one situation where yelling at someone achieves anything. I can’t remember the last time I yelled at anyone.

Idk how strict you guys are with the 40 hours a week. Does 39 count? 38? 35?
I also struggle to see why travelling out of the country is not allowed. Unless it’s some sort of really secretive and sensitive work, why can’t employees leave the country? Are we talking vacation? Time off?
Gen Z and I work in customer service. The average consumer has become such an entitled, idiotic, immature prick that you cannot reason with. Guess what age range these pricks tend to be?
If people are consistently breaking an internal rule, that means the rule should probably be looked at. I work with gen z, I manage gen z, they’re just people that society has kicked in the balls over and over and over again and their will to do anything has been eroded since they were conscious. Their primary social years cut off in the middle of a global pandemic. Maybe work with empathy and someone will want to work with you.
It’s like there’s never a good reason to yell at anyone, let alone a minimum wage service employee who’s barely scraping by.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

On some days, I hate having eyesight

4·15 days agoI think I’ve seen what you’re talking about. Wouldn’t hurt to have some regulation on the animation. I really like the animation on the current Mazda3 and I think Audi’s been doing a good job with them for a while.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?
2·26 days agoI drive a 2024 VW GLI 6MT, bought it as the best bang-for-buck MT available new. Fantastic car all around. What I wish I drove is my dream 2-car garage. The first would be a classic Cooper S, or any decent Miata, or any decent Boxster. MT on all of them. The second would be a Giulia Q4, or Volvo S60, or an Audi RS2. Any combination of these is dream material for me.

Duh everyone would wash a secondhand item of clothing before wearing it.

You don’t need to phrase yourself as if you’re submitting a dissertation.

I’m pretty sure this is a prank because I’ve gotten tested for colourblindness, but this is a hilarious prank.

2·2 months agoImo fining all profits made by using misleading practices is just as disincentivising without introducing the instability that immediate business death brings. I’m gonna stop trying to convince you of this though, I think we just differ on some fundamentals.

1·2 months agoSure, that’s an easier way of doing it. I don’t really have a problem with that except that it can easily kill a business to fine their total profits if the period is long enough.

2·2 months agoYou responded to someone saying it’s really difficult to quantify by asking why they should even base the fine off this quantification. I explained why, and your response is, “yeah but it’s too hard to quantify.” No shit Sherlock.

2·2 months agoBecause they’re fining based on the legality of one specific trick, so it makes sense to dis-incentivise that specific trick by fining the entire profit made off that specific trick (plus some).

1 is crying out for help instead of yelling at someone
2 doesn’t do anything
3 is a good example. Warning someone of imminent danger is a place where yelling at someone actually helps
4 again doesn’t do anything except serve the same purpose as 1
5 again doesn’t do anything. Nobody’s joining ICE with their conscience intact
