If you are in a position to answer a survey based on a service someone did for you, and they did a good job.
Give them the highest score! Often times anything other than the highest score is a fail and they’ll get in trouble.
Source, anything lower than a 9 (out of 10) is a fail for me.
This ^ I have so many failed that have nothing to do with me
That will get people like me FIRED, they absolutely WILL fire us all DO NOT do this
This ESPECIALLY goes for the service advisor at a car dealership! When ex husband worked for dealerships, our ability to pay bills hinged on his survey results. Like, the amount of money he took home in a month was directly correlated to the score on the surveys and anything below 90% average halved what we could expect his monthly “bonus” to be. (Bonus in quotes because that was the only thing that made it a living wage at the time.)
Even the questions not related to the advisor’s work might reflect on them. For instance, if you deduct points on a question about the cleanliness/comfort of the waiting area, that may still affect the advisor’s score.
On top of that, as OP explained, low scores can get someone fired! Ex was fired from a job because anything under 90% average for the month was considered a failing score and was a terminal offense if it happened more than once in a row. Literally only one survey gave him less than four or five stars in the second month, but because he was teetering between 89 and 90, the survey that came in with a 10% (the two questions about him were perfect but the ones about the business received 0/5 stars) dipped him under the 90% threshold.
I may not be my ex husband’s biggest fan, but his customer service skills are superb and he didn’t deserve to lose his job because one person thought the business was awful.
Hey, maybe businesses shouldn’t be able to fire you based off of things like this
I just felt these tags were too important not to add @blacksasuke
Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard “Black people don’t need sunscreen because they don’t burn.”
Raise your other hand if you were today years old when you found out that not only is that not true, but Black people are more likely than white people to die of skin cancer, because they’re told they don’t need to take precautions, sunburn doesn’t visually appear as quickly on Black skin even as the damage is being done, and then doctors aren’t taught what skin cancer looks like on Black people so by the time they catch it, it’s too fucking late.
I’ve been singing that song for a while tbh. It’s amazing how many times I’ve brought up sunscreen or skin screenings with a dermatologist, and women I know don’t realize they also could develop sun cancer.
If you’re reading this and you’re black, please I am begging you look up what melanoma and the other skin cancers look like on darker skin. It’s on the internet, it’s a quick google search, please do it now while it’s in your mind.
And once you’ve done that give yourself a full body check-over. Remember to include around your eyes, the back of your neck, and the part in your hair. Also! Please make an appointment with a dermatologist in your area (check reviews online to find one who is comfortable checking you) and go see them.
Skin cancer is very treatable if it’s caught early. However it can be very serious and often deadly if it isn’t. Take! This! Seriously! If you’re black you still have skin, and you can still get skin cancer! You really do owe it to yourself to know what to look for, and to check yourself on a monthly basis. It could genuinely be the difference between life and death.
And here’s the thing. It’s one thing to, say…build an actor for a few minutes if the actor died during filming. (I’m explicitly thinking of Carrie Fisher here.) You use the AI to finish off lines that person already signed off on, already agreed to. And then you put them to rest. I can understand it as a stopgap “we were 95% done with filming, we only had reshoots” measure.
But to just…decide you get to put words in their mouths forever?
That’s how you end up with Mr. Rogers saying it’s good to beat the woke out of your kids.
I was thinking recently about how “alt” subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything
when a film or tv show takes place somewhere where you have been, it is your sacred duty as viewer to say “i’ve been there” every time you recognize a place
When a film or TV show claims to take place somewhere but you been there and it is your sacred duty as a view to say “no the hell that is not there.”
somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
