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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm with you 100%.
You should want to have a good workplace. After all it goes both ways: it will also improve the work you provide.
If that isn't the case rn, you can either try to improve the situation, or, if that proves impossible, change workplaces.
I'm currently in a similar situation; I had a relatively good workplace for many years, but the new one proves challenging. I'm in the trying to improve phase; it's an uphill struggle.
But also trying to improve myself; the current job shows me my own limitations, which are more with my colleagues than with the job itself.
but ain't this not one of your limitations, but theirs? This sentence makes it look like your coworkers slow you down.
could you write what your limitations with your coworkers look like? This is to me a very abstract concept.
That's not what I meant.
First of all I consider myself a self-reflecting being (a good thing) and sometimes a little too self-critical (not so good).
I think I'm fairly good at my job per se but it's that meta aspect of dealing with colleagues and (lack of) structure I'm not so good at. Maybe I'm socially awkward, maybe I lack diplomacy, maybe I'm too opinionated. I'm trying to improve there: stop overreacting, think of more constructive ways to communicate etc. Not that I want to stop being opinionated though.
Also I'm not really career-oriented, there's no "slowing me down".
