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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What I mean is everyone wants both. And I'm not talking huge differences. I don't mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).

Another thing I've seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.

So you want a 2k-6k raise... If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?

Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?

Those are only two variables of many.

At one point, I had job offers from four places at the same time, offering me different salaries, benefits packages, work culture, work effort and work mobility.

I ended up taking the job that was the most intellectually stimulating, had the best benefits package, and had a good cultural fit. Sometimes I had to work weekends, but got paid double for doing that; usually that was one weekend shift a month. Overall pay was on the low side of competitive.

I never regretted the choice.

Ok that makes sense. I wasn't saying those are those only variables just the ones I could theoretically control.
