I don’t quite agree, the metrics were designed to be out of your control, with the only way to meet them being doing more work than actually necessary and to always attempt to deliver the best work.

The point being?

Can confirm, am poo person.

I’m glad that it’s gotten better, and that you’re finding it aligns with you more! I hope they keep making improvements to it.

Having had this rating determine how well I was doing at my job really sucked!

Its a carrot that’s dangled on a stick tied to your back, you can never reach the carrot on your own, the metric is completely out of your control.

I only ever got scored badly during outages or when people were upset about something that the service didn’t do, so my overall rating was good, but even with 10 5 star ratings, it just takes 1 4 star to ruin that.

The customer correspondence rating (CCR) for our department was 4.64. That basically means that anything that isn’t a 5 is bad.

If you got a 3 and below, a team lead and a “quality” engineer would have meetings with you to correct what you did wrong.

Whenever I have to rate things now, if the person wasn’t a complete dickhead, I rate 5.

How has it changed? When I left, the CCR was 4.64, which then got upped to 4.67 a few months later. It was AWS tho.

You missed the “I love h…”

They pioneered modern day planned obsolescence, they also popularised unrepairable electronics. They try to block or bastardise any right to repair bills. They force chip distributors to not sell chips they use so their products can’t be repaired. They make building applications for Mac at scale a huge pain in the ass and extremely expensive, the solution I recently built wastes insane amounts of power because of the way Apple licenses their stuff. Overall it’s a shitty company who fucks poor people in developing nations, fucks the environment and fucks it’s customers. I don’t care how well it may or may not work, fuck Apple.

Also OSX ui is shit and annoying.

I’ve decided to label myself bisexual homoromantic. Way easier than some rigid BS people enjoy policing.

I’ve gotten worse treatment in the lesbian community than any other. Demanding tolerance from others doesn’t immediately mean that those people demanding tolerance are tolerant themselves.

I think it’s also important for people to understand the mental effects of dating an ace person as someone who isn’t ace. I got caught up in that and it took a long while for me to stop thinking I was undesirable and gross.

Must have been a Nolan film…

Then I’m in good company…

What about the coal industry? I’m pretty sure you actually do love them…

Same here. I’ll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.

See, their weapons don’t discriminate! Happy pride!!

Probably just designed to fail maybe?

You’re probably better off

But you’re not discussing it, your projecting your world views on others and making accusations and assumptions about me. Which I don’t really appreciate. You neither know me, how my mind works or what I’ve gone through. It also seems like you may or may not understand how mental health issues can affect cognition or perception.

So with that, I’ll end the conversation there.

It was a joke. Just like “If a tree falls in the forest, and you’re watching a video of it on Linux, does it make a sound?”

I dislike Bluetooth anyway, it’s a shit protocol.
