No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So when I worked in last 2 roles, I'd joke around and have a laugh with colleagues, the workplace culture of those places I guess was more relaxed, but I got that sense of lack of camaderie or fellowmanship from others too during my time working.

Sorry to be naive, but is it because some people look out for themselves and it's kind of "Yeah you're a funny guy but uh.. when shit hits the fan I ain't there with you" kind of shtick.

Not saying these guys are assholes or anything, but I just think with the current world in any work industry it seems to be tricky to make real friendships inside and outside of work.

I don't know if this just me but I notice that big distinction of the joking around and sharing the same invested topics (I.e. video games) but no more than that

TLDR - Confused if people are being genuine, but they don't really "care" in a sense?

Please let me know if I'm spouting gobbledygook, thank you.

But you can’t expect it from others who don’t have the same needs.

[–] hackeryarn@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t that the whole point of hiring people that fit the company culture? I’ve worked at both types of places in different stages of my life. Both can feel good or bad depending on where you’re at. Don’t try to change the job to fit your needs. Find a different one.

[–] EgoNo4@lemmy.world 37 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The words "company culture" always make me laugh.

Company culture is the first to go out the window when shit hits the fan.

People being let go for speaking their minds, în the most respectful manner, by a company that "values openness".

Culture being changed to fit the current corporate needs.

"Company culture" is nothing but corporate 🐂💩.

Don't drink the corporate kool-aid, kids.

"Not fitting company culture" is just how racists get away with not hiring qualified candidates.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 5 points 3 months ago

The fit was always code word for suburban whites for a lot of things

Society has caught on now.

It is just a job and my only need is being paid for doing enough not go fired.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Can't blame you for that mentality

If I remember correctly, this is literally one of the points taken from the sabotage handbook. Is your job really making you so miserable, or is this some kind of organized propaganda campaign?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Is your job really making you so miserable

Management and HR departments are quite efficient on that kind of moral sabotage. It could be an organized propaganda campaign, at least those would make sense.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Doing the work you are paid for is sabotage?

🤡

Is you naive or a bootlicker?

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

doing enough not to get fired

Ok, not the exact same phrasing, but close enough.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago

Some good advice in there tbh

But as long as they behave, I got no interest in wasting my time to diversion.

You seem like the type to run to the boss man tho

You priorities are wacked haha

[–] hackeryarn@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Totally get that. Just saying that different people want different things out of their jobs, and it’s a good thing that there are places where all of them can fit.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 6 points 3 months ago

Most places suck ass to work for.

Good jobs are few... So most people don't get what they want lol
