So… Yes, they did talk to me about their feelings of imposter syndrome, out of a recommendation from someone else (I frequently mentor people at work). Unfortunately this person demonstrates a cluster of traits that means that they cannot acknowledge when they actually aren’t good at something. (This person has a history of accomplished parents and education/career “boosts” from diversity goals (I am fine with diversity programs giving a boost to folks who otherwise are passed over, in fact I have benefited from them and I am grateful- the issue in this case is that this person actually isn’t talented in this skill area)). I also know from others that this person’s work performance is consistently, significantly below expectations in terms of measureable output and achievement of routine tasks that all team members should be able to do. Put these two together and their explanation for their feelings of inadequacy is latching on to the explanation of imposter syndrome. It’s not my job nor my place to tell them that this isn’t the case (I don’t manage them), so at this point, I just try to avoid this person (largely due to the aforementioned cluster of traits).

Sadly, I know someone who thinks they have imposter syndrome, when really they are just incompetent. It’s painful.

It’s true, but it’s not good.

Done and done!

We know that already, though, about Trump. We have known for years, and people either will or will not vote for Trump - their mind is already made up on kt. The Biden debate performance is a big deal because now we know Biden is not fit for the Presidency any more either, not because he did a bad job at it but simply because he is too old to go on. So now we need to talk about it and process it.

They sure do post a lot on Lemmy for being a stay at home parent supervising their kid… 1670+ posts, 34500+ comments in 12 months. That’s about 4 posts and 95 comments per day.

Really? That’s your go-to glib answer? No discussion about education opportunities or job prospects? No question about why the downturn was really noted in 2014? Just immediately jumping to the conclusion that rural people MUST be hateful?

Disappointing.

Report harassing comments. Mods remove harassing comments. Each user can block individuals who are trolls - if they don’t get engagements (positive or negative), their comments won’t float up the feed and they won’t be encouraged to continue being a dick. Validate women’s experiences even if it isn’t your own personal experience. Realize that when you are engaging with women about their personal experiences, it’s not the same as arguing over a topic in tech.

Bye Felicia.

We just lurk and look at memes and then go socialize elsewhere. It’s not worth the emotional energy to engage with so many males on this platform.

I used to participate in Lemmy after I left Reddit, but migrated to another place. This is one of the rare times I am actually choosing to comment on Lemmy.

So like… Why are you swearing at her just for her civil question and discussion?

Lemmy is moderated by several power mods just as Reddit was, and they are male. There is no proper space for women on Lemmy.
