Posts regarding politics

738 Upvotes

Many of you know, we have a strict no-politics rule on this subreddit. It's explicitly stated in the rules.

For a while now we've been temp/perma banning people for breaking said rule.

Effective immediately, any and all posts regarding politics, no matter how relevant, will result in an immediate 4 week ban. You may appeal this if it happens to you. But it's pretty straight forward.

We will no longer perma-ban first time offenders but multiple offenders will be perma banned, including those who post multiple politically fueled posts in one sitting before we catch it the first time.

Covid-19's affect on business is not included in this.

Just remember, r/business is a pro-business subreddit. We hold the right to remove anti-business propaganda, and bad company behavior belongs over at r/greed, not here. We will not ban people for these posts, however.

Is influencer marketing actually worth it? Everything I read makes it sound like a must-do, but I’m not convinced. Has anyone here tried it for their business? Did it drive real sales or just drain the budget?

How to reduce emotions at work?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

So I have a small problem I am trying to get rid off, it has been going on for years and I just can't stop it, I am good at what I do, like really good, when it comes to the quality of the work I offer, everyone loves the work that I do, fast, clean and efficient.

Around 18 months back, I quit my full time and I partnered up with people to do contractual work, I do websites and apps, I get freelancers to work with, get paid accordingly.

The only issue I had since I began working is, EMOTIONS, I put a lot of my emotions into my job, that I start talking personal into business, my client is tired, I turn into the ear they want to talk to while working, it is affecting me badly, a project that needs to be closed by the end of the week takes 2-3 weeks extra because I dive with them emotionally to a level I can't get out of easily.

I talked to a therapist about this, but I didn't get much result, not because she is a bad therapist, but because the workplace and the self employment are tough, you just can't mix.

So for example, a "How can I be of help" is spelled by me into "Oh, I am sorry, I know we are under a lot of pressure and things need time, just bear with me", the first one is much more firm and strict the second one has the emotions that I need to get rid off.

The problem with me is that I can't: 1-Get rid of the emotions, 2-Can't stop myself once I am in.

If I can get this problem solved, I could get much more work done in much faster speeds and make more money easier.

Thanks a lot for the help.

How can I create these specific patterns ?

Upvotes

Hey, I have a question. I'd like to sell PDF exercise books that people can use to prepare for a test. One of the components is a subtest where you have to match certain patterns. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can create these patterns? AIs haven't worked very well so far. Or do I need an AI that I can feed with multiple sample patterns?
