I struggle to make my mum take my advice about subjects of my field of expertise for which I had spent 5 cruel years at Uni. So I am at peace now not being able to make my point across the internet.
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Oh that's a classic with people you're close to
Complain about issue X that you know how to solve
Hear you tell them how to solve it
Doubt
Don't listen to you but ask someone you know for their opinion which is the same as yours
Never say they're sorry for doubting you
People in my own office don't listen to me, why would anyone on the street?
I've worked in a bunch of environments and the most common thing I encounter are people stuck in the old way of doing things. Such as using WINS because they firmly believe if nothing bad has happened since they set it up, nothing could happen.
Sometimes people do but it mostly happens when it is a topic that they've tethered to their identity.
Only people I deal with daily at work, everyone else no. I am constantly getting second-guessed, made to make changes, and not listened to by the middlemen between me and the actual users.
Then of course it becomes a disaster that I have to fix.
Sounds like your doing development work in a “agile/scrum” team, correct?
I just get ignored at work. Then something gets called out by a customer and it's a fucking issue.
