[marsixm]

lets make a new trope: gay characters who are actually seemingly impossible to kill to the point that all of their enemies are comically frustrated. functionally immortal gay characters. being gay making you immortal. unkillable gay trope.

Do this for any company that asks you to review their employees always.

[an0nymz]

You wouldn’t believe the number of times I swear I get 4/5 star ratings at my job just because the way people think is “well 5/5 means perfect and nobody’s perfect, 4/5 is good!” The company I work for doesn’t understand this common mentality at all, and will let people go over not having consistent enough 5/5 ratings. Obviously they don’t inform the customers of that.

[fwizard]

this also applies to your restaurant servers!!

Also send compliments to companies if you see someone doing a great job.

I’m on the road a lot and see a lot of big trucks doing some very stupid things. And I’ve seen people doing equally dying things to get their company info to call in a complaint.

When I see a driver avoid an accident or help someone out I try to get their info and let the company know that they done good. And I’ve lost track of the times I’ve been told that they’ve never heard anything but complaints before.

Encourage the people who are doing good jobs. That’ll go a long way towards not only creating better workers but will also highlight the bad workers. There is a marked difference between ‘got complaints vs got no complaints’ and ‘got complaints vs got compliments’.

I want to elaborate on the whole “4/5 stars” issue.

Most companies do not follow the metric like you think they do. You think “3 out of 5 is average, so its fine, right?”

Instead how they do it is to assign the score you give points. Doing well gets positive points. Doing poorly subtracts. So a 5/5 gets the worker 1 point. A 4/5 gives them no points, because “providing good service is expected”. A 3/5 or below is -1 points (sometimes with a sliding scale downwards, too.) So what you think is an average, ok experience makes them LOSE points.

Think about that. Someone doing an ok job will be fired, or lose money. For meeting what a normal human would think is an average standard.

These systems are designed to weed out average. They don’t want average, they don’t even want good, they want perfect every single time. They want you to hit every single talking point, do every single task, with every single customer. Are you able to do 100% at your job every minute of every day while working at a soulless retail or fast food job? No one can.

So remember. Give them the top rating. Say that they hit every talking point, even if they didn’t. Say that they tried to sell you on the credit cards, the addons, and then delivered your baby while singing a perfect rendition of the Ave Maria. Don’t let some corporate shills with bullshit standards run the world and put people like you out of jobs just for doing a job.

Petition for a comic that’s just the Joker vs. a bunch of frighteningly competent normal arse clowns who have gone temporarily vigilante for the sole purpose of taking the Joker down for his repeated violations of the clown code.

[possibly-the-antichrist-deactiv]

since i doubt the joker ever copyrighted his makeup with a clown egg, they’re all wearing his ‘face’ 

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

“What are you so mad about, Joker? We’re technically not in costume; it’s not like this is a clown’s face. Show us a clown with this and we’ll respect his use of it.”

[sigiledpaladin]

Please someone mock up a page of Joker running terrified through a hallway, as a dozen clowns chase him, all chanting “SHOW US YOUR EGG”  and Batman just watching from security monitors like “Huh. Thats new.”

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU. It’s a loaded game when the rules benefit only the people who made them.

This thread is a few years old but it bears repeating. I'm tired of being treated as if I am invisible. Listen to Jewish voices when we talk about fascism. I am begging you.
