Nicky🦨✌️<p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protip</span></a><br>When the issue of tipping in the USA arises please avoid the arguments based upon living/decent wages &amp; skilled work. We don’t pay our teachers living wages. Minimum wage is being blamed for stifling our economy and hasn’t been raised in nearly two decades. Given a choice employers would do away with all employee “entitlements” and pay us what they think we deserve—remember people don’t do what’s right they do what’s right for them—they care more about shareholders. Period.</p>

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:<p><a href="https://social.wildeboer.net/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProTip</span></a>: Always spell out acronyms at least once. Save your audience from guessing wrong or simply feeling left out from the conversation. Almost all 3 or 4 letter acronyms have more than one meaning. Spell them out.

Whatever was, isn't anymore. Instead, listen and learn. Based on my experience of working at Red Hat for almost 20 years. The Red Hat from 20 years ago doesn't exist anymore. And that is not a bad thing. I stay because I like to learn what happens when you go from underdog to really big :)</p>

🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦<p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProTip</span></a>: If you change the number from which you text customers to something with no callerID in a different area code, you should NOT just send an initial message to all of your customers saying “$SERVICE is important, click here for an appointment" without any indication of who you are or why you're SPAMMING them. And when you get back foul-mouthed reponses, just accept that you fucked up. <br>In related news: I need to find a new dentist.</p>
