  • It’s indeed important to be an understanding boss. And I’ve also been on both sides of this and agree with you that it sucks pretty much.

    However: this guy is a bad worker with a bad attitude and clearly states that he has no interest in his job. He does bad enough work to upset his teammates. You’re his boss. Don’t hang out with him. Maybe a beer after work, but even that stretches it. You wanna be his friend and hang out with him outside of work? Then you both should not work directly with each other. There is a time and place for delicacy and sometimes not.

    Sorry, I’m a bit harsh! But I had problems with a co-worker myself. And I suffered actually years from constant drama because I was polite and considerate and forgiving. And it would have saved me from so much frustration and stress if I kept my distance in the beginning or just plainly told him to fuck off.







  • The mantra of /r/malelivingspace:

    • proper lightsource like a standing lamp
    • some potted plant for color and life
    • get at least an armchair, dude.
    • TV wallmounted at an appropriate height
    • separation of living and sleeping (No TV in the bedroom)
    • get a rug that that really ties the room together
    • a big framed (!) artpiece like a painting or poster

    There’s an IKEA couch table that used to cost 15 bucks and looks pretty good. Use rugs to create islands in the room, for example beneath the couch area. Use pillows on the couch as color accents. Maybe paint the walls something different than white.

    Look on YouTube and the net, there should be plenty of inspiration.
