we have “lead engineers” that aren’t specifically team leads, but just the next level up from senior

one of the expected responsibilities of that title is to guide/mentor lower level engineers

yeah. like obviously there are huge problems with going to a therapist who reports to your boss, but certainly having one on staff -- and thus accessible for free -- would remove a major hurdle for many people.

if only there were some way you could have "staff therapists" who were just, like, available for free to everyone who was, say, an american citizen. it would be like getting a job healthcare benefit, but the job is you just are living in america and paying your taxes. i wonder if anyone's tried it?

A friend of mine felt like he didn't have enough to put on his resume after college so he put down he managed a small team in college, and wrote a short blurb about how he would coordinate activities and stuff like that.

He was talking about how we would play dota 2 in college and he would constantly need to tell people what to do, where to go, etc when we played competitively. He said his first job was very impressed when he talked about it at the interview.

not any universal healthcare countries, their mental health care is all pretty uniformly poo poo

british nhs is pretty typical in that about half of those who need it get served (and the tories are fuckin it over as usual), estonia is pretty typical for poorer countries inasmuch theres de facto no mental health policy except for drinking an absolute fuckton, korea and japan are typical for nonwestern countries inasmuch as mental health anything has a brutal stigma

of course if you get it you dont pay for it

in this, american omnishambles is actually typical

the better mental health systems in europe are in germany, switzerland, netherlands, iceland. a lot of it is really poo poo though, or has some weird corner cases e.g. if youre sick finland will (eventually) have your back, but if youre trans in finland you either get castrated or emmigrate. imo mental healthcare systems' weaknesses in europe et al. are are function of stigma (or history like psych asylums being used to imprison and mentally incapacitate political enemies in ussr), "novelty", and poor public administration practices (conservatives and populists running a lot of poo poo into the ground, inspired by america or nhs), rather than simply some naturalistic inability of public healthcare system provide for a therapist

i literally dont have any examples of good mental health care in a country, i dont think it exists, public private or mixed

finland gets every physical health measure brutally better than america but suicide rates are comparable despite america having guns out every orifice and alcoholism rates are higher in finland. both rates are only slighltly lower in iceland

there are still vast differences between countries but the best countries by those metrics are basically rural catholic tropical islands, antigua, barbados, etc, which is almost certainly confounded by the catholicism and the law of small numbers

i guess the real conclusion is, "physical treatment gets 5 sigma results for 25 bucks, and the american problem is they mark it up 40000%, but mental treatment really does give 0.3 sigma results for 100 bux/hour and the american markup of 200% basically doesnt matter"

"better", not "good". in latvia if a dude goes to a therapist, the therapist will laugh and say "man up and have a drink, spineless bitch". then if anyone learns at work that you've been to a therapist, your character will be immediately assassinated, with everyone distancing from you while the boss figures out which manufactured reason you can legally be fired for

in germany you can actually have a professional hear you out, which is a comparatively great start

yeah, pretty much. our oncological care is other known weak spot of the system, but for everything other than 1 in more than latvian population problems you're covered by the public system. sometimes there will be a queue, which you can bruterforce through, generally speaking, quite affordable (@ median household income) private healthcare system and/or neighbouring countries (e.g. i used to shop my skin poison in lithuania, where it cost 1/3 the latvian price)

if someone was actually able to lead a Dota team successfully and deal with gamelord bullshit, talk down tilted assholes, help their players figure out how to improve…like yeah what do you think management is

it was actually a lot lower before they finished the national health system in 1990 because the economy was more equal then lol, it spiked during the imf crisis

peeps talk a lot about the fundamental nature of korean society and confucianism and poo poo causing these suicides and im like, 'dude this started in the 90s'

sorta like peeps talking about the fundamental gluttinous nature of american culture causing the american obesity crisis despite the whole shebang starting in the 70s
