what does your manager get impressed by, care about? if you were to flex what sorts of things would you flex to them?

is there someone that makes decisions over your life that isn't necessarily the manager, and what would they be impressed by or care about if one were to flex it in front of them?

Remembering to lock the bathroom door would be a flex for some people. I have almost seen a managers dick twice because of this. Also got to see sales shitting on the toilet as well. Luckily I didn't seem more than leg.

My manager cares that it works and doesn't crash.

How fast I can get something out the door

Manager: stuff that he knows external consultants would have charged 5x as much for and fucked it up.

Wife: to be honest if I flexed it in front of her she would probably just shake her head tell me to put it away.

They care about soft skills like ticket management well done, in the right status etc. Look sharp by preparing standup to a few good lines. No ehm.. I don't remember what I've did-shit

@spoiledgoods exactly. Flex flex flex

Edit: you deleted your comment

@donkulator I once said something like: "penis, in you, now..." My wife's expression changed, she said something submissive, and marched me into the bedroom. I was like, "You can do that?!" to myself.

@Demolishun ever caught by your kids while having happy time? I once got hammered and step kid walked in. Just asked something and just turned around and walked away. No idea what was going and just didn't care. So freaking innocent. It's beautiful

@jestdotty / @Demolishun check this, freaking amazing, sound required: https://9gag.com/gag/a34RLEQ/...

@retoor yeah cause I don't want to dox myself haha

@spoiledgoods I've read it. I know everything now

He got impressed by my ability to miss deadline and not be audible during calls.

@retoor he's so abusive eesh

smh I was good at all that boring ticket and task stuff and I still got nothing. what's the point again

and I could keep a bathroom door closed. did have a manager go seek me out there once. not a fan. I left for a reason.

think it'd be funner to impress people by going in a direction they wouldn't expect than just doing what you're told anyway. doesn't seem terribly impressive to be doing the asked minimum

ok I'm concluding I impress people naturally just without saying much

also though impressing people seems useless. you get like fan clubs but they can't do anything, or I'm just not gonna take their stuff cuz that would be weird

sigh

impressing managers, managers can't even do anything for you. or you doing your everyday tasks isn't very impressive. I literally think that's just bare minimum and not impressive. they don't have souls I swear. like how could a person be impressed by the bare minimum? it's like tyranny of low expectations

@retoor I think it's less so the things you flex and more-so the attitude and humour you display while you flex that impresses people btw
