ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•Is it just me or do a lot of haters come out of the woodwork when you start a business?English1·2 years agoThere’s not enough upvotes for this.
500k to sell boba is absolutely fucking insane. And bubble tea is cheap af. It’s mostly water which is basically free. And your labor is all minimum wage.
You need to talk to the franchiser immediately. There’s serious problems if they don’t have a marketing plan for you.
You’re checking all the right boxes. It’s just a matter of hiring people who see and appreciate that. A majority will not.
ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•Seller concealing sale from employees. Red flag?English1·2 years ago100% Normal.
The sale of a business can mean a ton of different things. And no one can predict an outcome. Not the sellers. Especially not the employees.
But that sure as shit wont stop the employees from speculating and ‘knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt’ how things will playout. They’ll know for a fact they’re all getting fired. Or they’ll know for a fact the business will be closing down. Or half are getting fired.
So they’ll act based on their theories. And that’s a problem because those employees might be some of the value.
I had this problem when I sold my business. The buyers were dragging ass, the employees were in the dark until the last week. Then, the buyers reached out to one of the employees directly, which was forbidden. The employee approached me the next day skeptical and prepared to leave if the business was getting sold.
My lawyer had fucked me over, I didn’t have any close now clause for their violation of the terms, because my lawyer fucked me over. Yea, I’m still salty. I was able to stall employee long enough to get to the sale; the buyer had told me they wanted to keep all the employees. I made it, gave a final note to the employees about the sale. That weekend the new owner fired all my employees, very sadly.
I’ve been muted for less.
“WD can you buy aghs next, their really tank and you’re the only pure damage on the team.”
5 minutes of raging by WD and somehow I’m muted. Lol
ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•What are my legal rights if municipal roadwork harms my business?English1·2 years agoA day? A month? A year? A lot more details are needed but you most likely need to speak to a lawyer.
ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•Has anyone in the US had problems with SCORE mentors lately?English1·2 years agoI’ve spoken with a few. None of them have ever seemed to have experience in what I was working on OR anything they could contribute even laterally. No sales advice, no management advice, nothing at all. A good concept (score) but it doesn’t look like my experience is unique judging by the responses here.
ghostoutlawBtoGaming@level-up.zone•What video game weapon is absolutely worth the time you got to put in to get it?English1·2 years agoAtiesh, Great Staff of the Guardian
There is no esports budget. It’s funded exclusively by battlepass/compendium.
ghostoutlawBtoEntrepreneur@indiehackers.space•Elon Musk has a “never ending explosion of ideas”, all of which I imagine would be huge successes, and I can’t think of one…English1·2 years agoYou’re not missing a puzzle piece. Everyone’s mind works differently.
50% of people don’t talk to themselves in their head. Their brain isn’t wired for it.
Some people only see images and see words in their heads. My best friends mom thinks in Armenian. She is Armenian, so that’s not crazy.
Many people don’t dream.
So it’s perfectly reasonable to assume some people have constant ideas. Because I have constant ideas about random shit all day.
FYI, in some cultures, this is their letter of resignation. That or they’ll say they’re going on vacation and do not have a planned return date.
It’s all about them avoiding confrontation and being able to hopefully leave a door open.
Assume they will not be returning. Do not hinge your business on this one person.
I’m just tired of 65 minute games.
Fix the game so that if my team is up 35-4 at 20 minutes, we can end the game. Making it impossible to push high ground for 45 mins is dumb af.
ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•How to politely tell an employee they lack efficiency?English1·2 years agoI’ve dealt with this.
He’s been given KPIs? Has employee acknowledged they move slow and will improve? If yes? Have they improved? If no, do they understand this? Or is there always an excuse.
Some people have only one gear, and it’s slow. Now whether they’re the excuse type or the working on it type, if they understand they aren’t meeting expectations, they’ve gotta go. End of story. It won’t change. Out of 100+ employees over some years, I’ve had maybe 10-15 in this category. 0 improved ever.
ghostoutlawBtoSmall Business@indiehackers.space•Business owners, how would you respond to a potential new hire who brought up your State's legislation during salary negotiations?English1·2 years agoSimilar but not exactly.
Had a prospective employee mention something about how a neighboring city/state had just upped their min wage and, after already agreeing on a set wage, she wanted an increase. She had t started worked.
Except, the area she mentioned didn’t increase their wage.
She was lying.
And now she was still unemployed.

As with most posts like this here, you were most likely violating their TOS. Which also means you most likely won’t be getting your money.
ghostoutlawBtoDota 2@level-up.zone•How is Pos 4 a "High Demand Role" in Role Queue and Mid isn't?English1·2 years agoYea, complete oversight not to make “high demand” roles not dynamic. Like, what is that, an extra 3 lines of code? Lol

If this is BFE Laramie Wyoming? Terrible idea.
But we don’t know enough and if you’ve provided 100% of what you have, you don’t know enough.
