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.

Should I quit my job? (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by EmpeRohr to c/nostupidquestions
 

Edit: I have to commute 1,5 hours oneway to get to work. HomeOffice is allowed 2 times a week. So I am leaving when my son is still in bed and come back when he is in bed again. Thing is, the money is good and the job is kind of a dream job for me.

Edit2: Wow! Thank you for your comments. These are exactly the thoughts Inhad in my mind, but couldn’t point my fingers on them. Unfortunately there is no way to get more days wfh, because high management says so. So i came to the descision to either ask for part time or get the new job asap

I live in The Netherlands and the commute here is about 1h, when I leave after rush hour. We have a requirement to work at least 2 days from home (higher management) and a request from direct management to work 2 days at the office when possible/workload allows it. Management here already noticed that productivity is higher when working from homeoffice, they even told us that when we want to work, we should do that at home. ;) (Office days are for meetings, so we can forget getting any work done)

What I do is during home office days is work a tad more, so I can make the office days a tad shorter, to compensate for the commute. Also, it's safer to drive outside rush hour, as it's a lot less stressing. Also I try to work from home as much as possible, which is allowed. The restitution for commuting is less then the actual costs, so it saves me time and money, more then working parttime would.

I would try to arrange that you'll be at the office 1h less on office days and compensate that during homeoffice days, although that's kinda hard with 3 office days and only 2 homeoffice days. Also, keep en eye out for a job that's more a dream to you then kinda a dream. No job is important enough to have a part of it stand in the way of your private life. Companies are usually a lot less loyal then employees. Most people work to provide a living for themselves and their families, not to keep them away from the family.

BTW never, ever, quit before you have something else. When a new company wants you, they can wait for the notice period. (and it sets you back when you apply for a job from an unemployed state)
