I remember my Lulus magic being AWFUL. I basically never used her and had Yuna as a very effective Red Mage.

Her sphere grid was geared/leaning toward more black magic (shock!) so I'd have her with the better stuff with "ga" in the name. Wakka could get ahold of some decent magic too but I hated using him. I only used him for the Evrea battle.

Really anyone can be used throughout the game and win. You just need a tank, mage, and something in-between. My friend used Khamari, Tidus and Yuna with relatively no issues

I typically used Tidus, Yuna (or Lulu if serious magic was needed) and Auron for my party. I stuck with their "default" jobs. I pretty much followed along the story until it was time to hunt monsters.

The game wasn't hard. The only time it got hard was when I kept losing to Seymour in the mountain battle because I made bad decisions and was under leveled. Lady Yunalesca took me a few tries but nothing too bad

One thing they teach you in good workplaces is that one person is never wrong, the whole team is. Everything is a team effort and if something was overlooked then the whole team missed something because they all worked on it at some point. Plus, pointing blame is never going to solve anything, you should instead work on finding root causes, then implementing safeguards against them to make sure that the same problem never happens again.


I think that's actually a pretty crappy philosophy really. There are times that mistakes are really on the individual only, no amount of intervention or interference could have prevented it.

The 2nd radio station I worked at had several plans in place to avoid mistakes. For the most part, they were successful. The head boss would print out the playlist and commercials in order to play. Before your shift, you were supposed to look it over to check for mistakes.

Then on your shift, you made sure to follow the plan unless there was a mistake you didn't catch the first time. Mistakes could be corrected very easily and quickly.

For example: at 120 pm, you were supposed to play "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin. It's the first song on Zeppelin IV and it's about 5 minutes. But the list says it's 8 minutes long and is suddenly the 9th song. It's 118 pm and you have to decide to play it or substitute something else (remember that each hour is broken down by minutes)

I had one coworker who constantly botched the first step. Then the second step. Tons of dead air. Constantly played the wrong songs. She'd go off from the list entirely and play what she wanted. One time she recorded over a rare 8-track because she wanted to see what would happen. Broke the CD player trying to jam a second CD in without taking the first one out.

The only way her mistakes could be considered a team mistake would be the fact that she was never fired. I came on after her shift was over and frequently had to clean up her messes. She ignored every safeguard in place. She ignored every rule to prevent things like what happened from occurring

There's no racism here in my story. And there's none in the other one, especially considering it was black manager who called the cops after the checks came up as fraudulent

Sure. I have no problems admitting I am wrong. I do have a problem with "admitting" I did or said something wrong when it wasn't me or wasn't actually incorrect. I have had several bosses who insist that I take credit for things well beyond my control as well. I won't do that

I had one that basically hit all those points in one shot: lady fell and broke her hip. It shattered like glass. Management never alerted the state for two weeks (big no no!) and the state came looking for blood.

She fell after being sat in a chair my coworker sat her in with no alarm. I was on break when it happened. One would assume I'd be safe? Management and Dept of Health were both looking to have me fired. "Why didn't you check to make sure her alarm was on? You told your coworkers you would."

Like hell. In the end, faculty got fined 25k, coworker lost her job and couldn't do that line of work for 2 years. Management implements new policies to make things a lot harder on staff to the point where it became almost impossible to take any breaks other than a lunch break.
