No Stupid Questions
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.

I don't expect perfection, nor did I ever state that I did. I expect the literal bare minimum of service which in the realm of delivering something means as I said to the other person, taking it from point A to point B. If you take it to anywhere but point B, you have failed the basic task your job revolves around.
I'm going to have to agree with you. I feel bad for the people that have really bad jobs and really bad pay but so many times I see people that can't even perform the bare minimum of their job and I'm confused about why they have a job to begin with. Maybe it's because I'm getting old but it seems to be getting worse lately ever since the pandemic. Honestly I think that all the schooling from home during the pandemic has made a port impact on our youth's education. I by no means expect everything to be perfect, we are all humans after all but I do have a bare minimum expectation and a lot of the times that's just not being met.
Exactly.
And please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm in no way saying "Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!" or "Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs", I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain't-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h's worth. If you're in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven't rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny's worth of labour above $7/h.
But there's a difference between 'doing 125% when you're being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free' and 'well I don't care about this job so I'm not even going to attempt the literal minimum.' If you're getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.
You literally ended your post with "phone the boss lol".
I stand corrected, you are obviously very relaxed about the whole topic to the point you will "phone the boss lol". To me you're sneering at people who are doing poorly paid gig economy jobs. Maybe when you get some experience of the real world you will learn things are seldom so straight forward and black and white.
Next time you ask someone to give you some slack in your job (maybe extending a deadline? Maybe moving something around to accommodate you?) you might understand how even something as simple as "moving from a to b" is not always as easy as you think.
I don't think it has to be easy, these are tough jobs. So are most jobs, and mistakes do happen. But I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting the service that the company is offering to actually be performed to completion. I get it's tough working in something like an oil change place, but promising to do the whole job and then deciding to save yourself some time by not putting a filter on because "things are seldom so straight forward" would not, I'd hope, be acceptable to anyone involved.
