How do you know “most” farms are exploiting immigrants?

My favorite in the thread by far

10% is in fact, not a good tip, despite your misplaced morals. You think by stiffing servers that restaurants will care? Do you honestly think that will make a difference, or are you just cheap? Build the cost of a tip into what you expect to pay for a meal out or don’t eat out. Tip culture sucks but it’s the standard and you don’t have to like the standard but fix it at the ballot box, not at the dinner table.

A supervisor introducing their people works, but giving people the chance to introduce themselves sends a signal from the outset that they’re invited to speak at the meeting. Usually that’s my preference, but it depends on the meeting.

A good example of when I think a supervisor should introduce everyone is a meeting where a team lead is presenting a plan to a director that doesn’t know everyone - the team lead introduces their people, and does the majority of the speaking, but can turn to a technician or an area subject expert to field a specific question that comes up.

To me generally, my people are at a meeting because their input is valued. I want them to speak for themselves, and that begins with them introducing themselves. If you’re there to observe I’ll introduce you, otherwise I want them to know they’re there to listen AND speak.

Yes. Shmoozing during official meeting time is a waste of everyone’s time. Keep it for before/after, it serves its purpose, but once the meeting starts it should be business oriented.

Respect people’s time.

As another poster said, sometimes it’s useful and sometimes it’s a waste of time.

I frequently encounter meetings with outside entities for a bunch of stuff related to various large projects/initiatives and the outside entity will bring anywhere from 3-8 random people I’ve never heard of, and in turn we bring a similar number of people they haven’t met or interacted with directly (a good example is a logistics director or facilities manager for a building).

Introductions to go around the room in the format “hello, I’m ________ and I’m the ________, I do the __________ for _________” are good to just be like “oh ok you’re the ______ person, got it”

Going around the room and asking everyone to say where they’re from and their favorite food and least favorite movie, ALWAYS a waste of time unless you’re a grade schooler.

Edit: ignore the italics, not sure why they’re there and I don’t really care to figure it out

I hard disagree with one of your positions; I think 0 F is cold but 100 F is insane. I assume we grew up in different climates. I say this only to make the point that it’s subjective, but 0-100 is still the range of what people generally find tolerable.

1440p is the sweet spot. Very affordable these days to hit high FPS at 1440 including the monitors you need to drive it.

1080@120 is definitely low budget tier at this point.
