Introducing Keyboard Shortcuts, our first Labs feature https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/2017/07/21/introducing-keyboard-shortcuts-our-first-labs-feature/ https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/2017/07/21/introducing-keyboard-shortcuts-our-first-labs-feature/#comments Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:53:00 +0000 https://2code.info/demo/themes/ask-me/?p=2137

We want to make it easier to learn more about a question and highlight key facts about it — such as how popular the question is, how many people are interested in it, and who the audience is. To accomplish that, today we’re introducing Question Overview, a new section on the question page that will make it easier to find the most important information about a question and its audience. Question Overview includes all of the information from the old Stats section, as well as new facts such as individual question followers you may be interested in (e.g. people you follow or other notable users), recent views on the question, or if the question is Most Wanted in a topic. We have lots of ideas for ways to make the Quora product and experience better. But we also value keeping our simple so everyone can focus on the most important features. Today we’re introducing Labs*, a new way we can bring features we haven’t chosen to introduce broadly as an option for you to try out. We hope that the products we build for Labs will make your Quora experience more enjoyable. Without further ado, our first ever Labs feature is: Keyboard Shortcuts! You will be able to navigate and take actions on Discuss awesome features on the web without ever lifting your fingers off your keyboard. To get started, go to your Settings page and click on the Labs tab. Keeping quality high is Disuss’s number one priority as we work to achieve our mission. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be making major changes to strengthen quality. These changes will reward great questions and answers with better ranking and distribution and marginalize mediocre and low-quality answers. In other words: high-quality answers and useful knowledge shared will reach and help more people. Today, we’ve published a new in-depth answer that describes what quality means on Quora, and what it means to be helpful. What a helpful answer looks like. In summary, helpful and high-quality answers.

Dealing with an employee that went over my head https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/dealing-with-an-employee-that-went-over-my-head/ https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/dealing-with-an-employee-that-went-over-my-head/#respond Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:10:13 +0000 https://2code.info/demo/themes/ask-me/?post_type=question&p=2112

I manage a small team and recently hired for a new position. In the job posting it clearly stated that the work hours are from 8:00-4:30. No concerns about these hours were mentioned during the interview process at all.

Recently after accepting the job offer, the new hire expressed an issue with the hours of work, and proposed their own hours. The hours were not even consistent every day, they requested different work hours for each day of the week (they did all add up to the same total number of hours). I rejected this request.

The employee(before the first day of work), then emailed my superior with the same request and was approved.

How do I carry on managing an employee that is willing to go right over my head on an issue like this? How do I address this with my manager so that it doesn’t happen again. ( the first words out of my managers mouth should have been “Have you discussed this with your direct manager first?” )

How do I tell my new employer that I can’t use the computer they gave me? https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/how-do-i-tell-my-new-employer-that-i-cant-use-the-computer-they-gave-me/ https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/how-do-i-tell-my-new-employer-that-i-cant-use-the-computer-they-gave-me/#comments Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:04:35 +0000 https://2code.info/demo/themes/ask-me/?post_type=question&p=2111

Just this week I started working for a new company. I’ve been developing code and going through the database the past couple of days on my machine. Everything is working fine, I set up a new account and it’s hooked into the domain and everything.

Today, the Director IT gave me a “work” computer. It’s running Windows XP with 3 GB of ram, and has a 11 inch screen. He also mentioned I could possibly use a remote desktop for development.

This would make it incredibly difficult for me.

I have a 2012 Retina Display Macbook Pro, running Windows 7, with 8GB RAM, Core i7, etc. I am much more comfortable with it, and it has the power I need to get the job done and run the multiple programs with no lag.

How to evaluate whether a career coach is beneficial? https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/how-to-evaluate-whether-a-career-coach-is-beneficial/ https://events.thevocalghanaian.com/question/how-to-evaluate-whether-a-career-coach-is-beneficial/#comments Sun, 16 Jul 2017 15:58:52 +0000 https://2code.info/demo/themes/ask-me/?post_type=question&p=2109

I am trying to find/change my career trajectory. Its a good cozy job, but I want something that I get excited to work on in the morning. Career change is hard, for a lot of reasons. So I cant just try out a lot of different careers, and need to be more methodical in finding out the ideal fit.

have a general idea of the direction I want to go in. However, I think a lot of my decisions have been made under peer pressure or expectations of other people. I am looking for somebody who can provide me an objective assessment of my strengths and weaknesses, and to move towards a career which relies more on my strengths and innate (unconscious) drivers. There are millions of coaches online.. and it seems everybody these days wants to become a coach. So I am wondering how to find a reliable coach who will get you to where you want to get to?

What do you look for when searching for a career coach and how do you determine whether it’s beneficial?
