  • This is exactly why I never got into Xitter or Mastodon. I’ve tried them, but it’s a lot of work sifting through stuff to try to find somebody you want to follow. And newsflash, I don’t find many people that interesting that I want to hear what they say repeatedly.

    Whereas forum style I can more easily find content I enjoy, then also possibly enjoy the comments as well.

    Neither is right or wrong, it’s just a different approach to online engagement.


  • The best move for management in this situation is to “promote” him, into a new role that segregates him from the rest of the team. No office space work in the basement thing, but something that makes him distinctly a different role/title, and physically gives him a small office down the hall.

    It doesn’t sound like much, but any physical distance will be nice for you and others like you. It also removes depression when you know he’s the same role but not held to the same standards. Eventually all that crap takes its toll, and good people quit…or worse, they stop caring and don’t quit.

    The saying one bad apple can ruin the bunch is very true in work situations.



  • This sounds like something I would do. So don’t be too scared of losing it, there are others like you out there that would carry on just like you.

    I must say though, the romantic in me sees this as a movie or book. Story of your life’s struggles and ups and downs, but the wallet keeps you grounded. You finally make it to visit his grave and a woman walks up, daughter of Arnold. Ends up being the love of your life.



  • The description of the Matrix users is hysterically accurate.

    First time I went there, I had an obscure problem with an app. A very friendly and helpful person jumped in and said they have that app but don’t use it often. Then proceeded to run multiple tests on their end to validate my experience. I was blown away. Super solid dude.

    Every other time I’ve been mostly ignored. Which is fine if people can’t help. But as I check in all I see is forum fighting about what is right and best, as if there’s only 1 answer.
