[04:24]	TR News	"In the past, employee reviews were treated at least partly as a way to identify high performers for raise/promotion and to provide meaningful feedback to all.

[04:25]	TR News	"Its not even that. Look at the last RAmost of the people affected were high performers. This isnt about performance. Its an artificial pretense to eliminate people.

[04:25]	TR News	"All of a sudden high performers will be in bottom 15% magically. It just something to cover their asss and say well last review you scored low.

But it does give leadership something to point too and say well since you were on this you are gone! But it makes no sense that they were on it first place."
[04:27]	TR News	"Two factors about this year: 1)High pay employees rating will be low, justification being you should should have done more based on your level even though work opportunities was not provided to meet that requirement; 2) I wonder if those placed on PIP shows what direction the company taking with WOKE."

[18:43]	Isambard_Prince	There's few things in life worse than a cold shaving razor, except maybe a car that won't start, or HIV.
[18:43]	Isambard_Prince	Just some words of wisdom.
[18:43]	TR News	"Lately I've been listening to more by Vancouver electronic/ambient musician Scott Morgan, aka loscil. "Ash" is his latest EP, and one I'm enjoying very much. Googling to learn more about him, I realized that back in 2014, one of my high school friends was part of a musical showcase with him." gemini://tilde.club/~winter/gemlog/2026/1-10.gmi

[18:47]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I came across another problem that a credit card fixed today.
[18:47]	Isambard_Prince	A hotel tried to take another charge out of my credit card that I did not authorize.
[18:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	psydroid2: 10-1
[18:47]	Isambard_Prince	I got a ping from the credit card company about it during breakfast.

[18:47]	Isambard_Prince	I asked them why they did that and they said they meant to bill corporate for a free night, and it went on my card instead.
[18:48]	Isambard_Prince	I said "Well, then there's two options. One is a refund. The other is that I go to my bank, dispute it, they bill you $60 for researching it, and they take it back from you and give it to me."
[18:48]	Isambard_Prince	They refunded it immediately.
[18:52]	Isambard_Prince	The cards do all sorts of things I like. As long as you pay the statement balance they don't ever charge interest. You just get all kinds of rebates and coupons.
[18:58]	Isambard_Prince	My bank has a robot that watches for unusual activity.
[18:58]	Isambard_Prince	Like if I leave a $100 tip at a restaurant it'll text me and ask if I meant to do that.
[18:58]	Isambard_Prince	One time I went to a restaurant and left $10.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	They entered it as $100.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	I had the bank ask if I meant to do that.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	A lot of credit card banks don't do that.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	I said "No, I meant to leave $10."
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	The bank contacted the restaurant for me and fixed that.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	I didn't have to do anything else.

[19:00]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, schestowitz[TR2] I'm on the endtipping subreddit.
[19:01]	Isambard_Prince	My policy is 10% for okay service, 15% for excellent. And you calculate that pre-tax. No tips at a fast food place.
[19:01]	Isambard_Prince	I went to a Cheddar's one day and the Android kiosk they had just defaulted to 20. I moved it back to 15 because I thought the guy was nice. But then it also asked if I wanted to make a donation to charity.
[19:02]	Isambard_Prince	It's like, why do you get asked that everywhere?
[19:04]	MinceR	because those who ask believe it's their good deed if they get someone else to donate
[19:04]	MinceR	and virtue

[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	Don't go to Taco Bell. It's disgusting and it's expensive now.
[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	It used to be cheap.
[19:06]	Isambard_Prince	Used to be able to go there and eat for about $3 in the 90s.
[19:07]	Isambard_Prince	They had the 69 cent, 79 cent, 89 cent menu.
[19:07]	Isambard_Prince	That left room for a drink and you'd still be under three dollars.
[19:07]	Isambard_Prince	Before tax, anyway.
