Should I let my manager beat me at Trivia Crack

llg, PhD, RN · Feb 10, 2015

Stupid question here:

I have recently started playing Trivia Crack with my sister. We are figuring out all the "rules" as we go -- just answering the questions and collecting our pieces until somebody wins. Where do I find the directions that will tell me about stealing characters, how to use the coins, etc.?

I would love to steal one of her characters before she figures out that we can do that to each other. :)

You need to play a challenge round. Click on the sword.

I can see this going both ways. Defeating her might increase her respect for you, or it might make her feel inadequate and angry. She might then take it out on you.
We need a few critical facts here:
1. What is your manager's maturity and professionalism level? Do you have supporting documentation for it?
2. Are you young and/or inexperienced, and therefore at risk for being eaten by said manager? Is she a COB who might resort to such tactics?
3. On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being "I work for fun" and 10 being "my family will end up in a Dickensian workhouse," how badly do you need this job?

You are funny! Lol

Just downloaded trivia crack. Let's see if it's all it's cracked up to be.

Anyone play Word Crack? That can tell me why I CANNOT beat my daughter at it?

OH- and you can play Trivia Crack in a foreign language- my son is doing this to help him learn Spanish.

Good for your son! Geez...I can't master this crap in English much less a foreign language.

My worst category is entertainment. Apparently, I only answer 62% correctly, I'm continually reminded.
My best categories are geography, science, and history.

Kinda sounds like meâ€¦.And why, when it reminds me of how my lowest categories are entertainment and art (it goes back and forth between the two), it leads off with "Oops." How can you "oops" a supposedly random spin???

I suck at the sports category. It makes me angry when someone steals my football!

You don't have to be "friends" with people to play them. I have a thing about not friending my coworkers. One of my coworkers let me play her by giving me her email address she was registered under. I've played all my other coworkers by looking on their trivia crack friend list, and playing those people, friending them (through the game, not FB), plundering their friend list. Kind of an extended six degrees thing.

Am I the only one that thinks this relationship is inappropriate on any level?

I never friend management on social media while I am working under them and particularly one that I will count on later for a reference at some point. If they are former supervisors and will never have recommendating influence later, I MIGHT friend them but that also depends on how we got along.

I'm not on Facebook and I'm still able to play. You don't talk to them or interact with them really in any way.

As far as needing a future reference from said manager, I guess I don't understand the concern unless you're afraid the manager will say "I know she's really bad at sports trivia. You probably shouldn't hire her."
