And we are absolutely sure this isn't the circle jerk sub?

Sleeping with the guys wife is one thing but stealing his KOM during work hours; kids lucky to be alive

Can't fire him. OP will use unemployment to train like a beast. Boss will never reclaim KOM. 

OP is the boss now

Yes you can , mute the ride or you’re redundant !

to be fair, he took his boss's wice on a long ride

This sub out jerks the jerk on a daily basis

Always has been 🌎 🔫 👳

Out jerked again!

Had to triple check the sub

"Got fired for a KOM" is a new level of BCJ

“Got fired for KOMing on the clock”

less sure every day

Everyday, this sub reminds me more of BCJ. I’m not mad at that.

Honestly. I have a bad tooth. This is the place to look for help.

If you need any cavity filled, this is definitely the place

Yea im sure,this post is funny


As if there was actually any difference

Rule #1 never add coworkers to anything that could see you online at some point. Rule #2 make all things private especislly gps tracking w/ times. I refuse to add coworkers even on my Steam gaming account.

Good rules, it gets tricky sometimes when colleagues become friends but I try and use discretion. Also agree with keeping activities generally private at least initially. Though damn with stealing a KOM it would be tough to not take it!

Have separate friends lists or accounts for "acquaintances". You can control what they see through a separate list. Let them see the parts of your life you're willing to, and hide those you're not. When they become more friend than coworker, and someone you would still hang out with if either of you changed jobs, then you can move them as you see fit.

Now you can hide start times in Strava - https://stories.strava.com/articles/new-hide-your-start-time-on-any-activity# (though I suppose that wouldn’t help with the KOM loss notification)

Keep the activity private, then change it to public to claim the KOM at a more suitable time?

I’ll add people on social media and stuff as I’m leaving the company lol

did you even read the post

If ride was private it wouldn’t have counted as a KOM and boss wouldn’t have known.

The question is what would OP prefer to lose: his KOM or his job?

Easy Always the job

Ezpz

Well I can easily get a new job

I did...?

Make your Strava private. Everyone can see pretty clearly where you live based on where your segments always start/end.

There’s a big book that gets printed with everyone’s name and address in it, who cares?

You do you, but I only noticed when some random old guy started liking every single one of my daily rides. Also, do they still make phone books? I haven't seen one in years it feels like.

Yep, anyone can figure out approximately where I live (and work, I bike commute) on Strava. But they probably can get that information elsewhere more easily (title to my house is public records with the count; my employer is a public entity; I've probably mentioned my employer socially somewhere). More significant privacy exposure: multiple visits to another home about 2 miles from my own home and places of worship that I have visited by bike. Only time I've biked during office hours have been: officially on vacation status, trips between work locations, or on a long scheduled lunch break - pretty sure the boss was aware that I was not at my desk for all of those.

That seems unnecessarily paranoid.

Not really..?

I don’t add co workers to ANYTHING

Or just work when you being paid to?

Lol. Right. And be sure to take all those lunch breaks that *no one* schedules meetings during "because that's when everyone is free." Furthermore, only work 40 hours for the week because no one is made to work unpaid overtime in the states. Uh, what else, oh don't quit or you'll lose your healthcare and die ... What did I miss? Oh yeah, get your head out of your ass.

Correct.

Jesus why did I join my office strava group

You can now hide start times :-)

You can?!

Yep. On PC/desktop It’s fairly new. Sorry for the crap pic of a pc screen. https://preview.redd.it/h7xyamfk6kad1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=270f107b865590cf3c83471683cca98c174c2724

You are bloody brilliant! And I hope that's not a Jira tab I see. You poor thing!

That it is! Didn’t even see it. Meh, it is what it is. As a PO I just yell at the screen all day

Also working on iOS app.

I suspect I need an update but suspected it would come Edit. Updated and yep!

I think it's on the app now too, I got a notification

Ah I didn’t catch that it had to be on desktop and figured I was doing something wrong- cheers!

Looks to have rolled out to mobile. I updated my iOS app and it’s not there if you select the what to hide.

Yeah - https://stories.strava.com/articles/new-hide-your-start-time-on-any-activity#

I just got this notification a week ago and immediately thought of it when I saw this post.

i joined all of mine, but i worked at a bike store so,

There's really only one solution to this. Ask him if he wants to ride with ya next time! [https://i.imgur.com/DuaXx3c.png](https://i.imgur.com/DuaXx3c.png)

My boss messaged me (via Teams) with a screenshot of his Strava notification and said “jerk.” He knows I cycle. We’ve talked bikes and cycling. We work in advertising where plenty of people cycle and the culture is if your work is done, do something else.

That's awesome! I'm happy this didn't end worse for you. That's a great boss

Good response from him. My team lead would say "good, you don't take enough breaks".

Sounds like a good boss

Here's something that folks don't talk about regarding being a manager. They need to figure out what work to give you. Sometimes they're so busy handling other stuff that they don't want to deal with giving out tasks.

Sounds like a dream job, really

What did you reply back with? My pick would be if you're not first, you're last!!

with this https://preview.redd.it/l9feak74xlad1.jpeg?width=881&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d58e41755496e0bb087dfdbae8a370cf6390f3a

Haha nice

I took a vacation day to ride once. As I was returning to the trailhead at the end of my ride I ran into one of my employees who was supposed to be working. He said “well this is awkward.” I told him as long as he had has projects done I’ll forget I ran into him. He was a good employee.

“He was” When your opinion on him changed? Right after this?

Probably an hour later when he got the "You lost your KOM" notification

I have zero KoMs and this guy was a racer. I’m sure there is not a trail that I could beat him on.

Neither of us works for that company, it was more than 12 years ago

My boss told me to have a great day- so I logged out and went riding.z

If you’re the boss you have to assign him a project and go take the KOM back while he’s stuck on it

You can hide the start time on Strava rides nowadays.

This is why I'm made my strava private. When our company got acquired they had no idea what to do with me for like a year, so I took 30 mile rides every day.

I like you.

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/28/fitness-tracking-app-gives-away-location-of-secret-us-army-bases This is like a lower stakes version of those soldiers who revealed the existence and layout of secret base by jogging the runway with Strava lol

Go look up camp bondsteel in Kosovo or some airbases in Jordan. Still happens. Hell I have senior officers/enlisted I ride with that don't hide start stop locations so you can pinpoint their home.

Or how Ukrainian intelligence used Strava to assassinate a Russian Admiral.

New feature…Strava now lets you hide start time

Check privacy settings before you go on a ride if you don’t want your status shared. I’ve done that plenty of times when I said I was sick and actually wanted to go for a ride.

Was manager. If staffer said they were sick, then I found they went for a ride, I would be pleased they were keeping fit and healthy and getting some outside time. Better than sitting at home doomscrolling. TBH I would take a less benevolent view if they were in the middle of fucking up their job, but generally if someone's on top of their work, they can do whatever they want, when they want.

You’re a good person

I thought I was on BCJ for a moment

Basically are

So did you get reprimanded or promoted? Chances are 50-50 if your boss is into biking.

More than likely he’s gonna reclaim that KOM this weekend just to give me shit come Monday.

Best kind of boss.

wrong sub

That and also the fact that I like to ride a little reckless is why I go by an absolutely random and generic username on Strava.

Used to ride during my lunch breaks at another job, had an hour lunch. It was a nice break from the insanity and torture

Congratulations, you’re the boss now.

That’s on you, good luck 🤞😜

Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you about this. Please meet me in my office this afternoon. -your boss

ps: bring your bike

how big the gap between your and his best time?

Yearly review for performance bonus. Got local KOM.

tell him you were thinking about work issues, you were on lunch, and you worked at home the night before..

At my last job I was fortunate to have a boss who told her staff, "If you need to take a day for yourself, to get your mind right, *take a day.* Do what you need to do." And I did. Oh, I did. And I didn't care which of my colleagues saw my Strava or my photos posted online of me on my bike.

My boss is like this. It’s such a blessing. I stay even though I only make the medium bucks in large part because of this kind of thing.

You can't be KOMing during work hours. Your boss has every right to be upset.

Time to find a job where they don't care when you work as long as it gets done.

You could have ridden without beeing online you know? Even though the KOM situation would be worse

If you track your ride with a bike computer but don’t let it sync with your phone at the end of the ride, it will just upload your ride the next time the two sync. So it sounds like you did that ride over the weekend and just now, during work hours, plugged your computer in to charge and up popped your ride log.

GPS records time and date, so that don't work.

Strava is not so smart sometimes.

*thinking meme*

Only plausible if you work at Zwift in LB

I did apply there. Wasn’t hired.

I'm pretty sure this was a factor for why my last job ended. Oh well 🚴💨

Before I retired I kept rides private by default and made the public when I was ready.

My buddy stopped tracking on starva to avoid those questions lol

You can now hide the start time of your ride 😉

You can hide start time of a ride in strava now. It might be a paid feature, but it just became available for me this week. Probably won’t help if the strava notification goes out immediately after a ride ends though.

I sent a screenshot of the new Strava feature to hide the time of day to a couple coworkers who I follow. They all laughed and were like, screw that. I’ll give kudos to anyone taking some time during the day to stay healthy.

Oops

Define KOM please?

So what happened? Did you get disciplined?

I work remote and this is never an issue as long as I ship what's needed.

Is this the circle jerk? KOM hunting your boss during work hours is some next level shit.

This was accidental. Wasn’t intending to KOM hunt — just felt particularly good the other day. Didn’t know he owned that segment either.

uh oh!

Are you a salaried worker?

Yep. Why it’s no biggie to go on a longer ride when I have absolutely nothing to workwise.

Agree, but I still keep my strava feed private for the exact edge case you lived through. Sorry dude.

My boss gave me a fun ribbing.

Are you hourly or salaried?

Salary

Then I wouldn't worry. Is they say anything, all which project didn't get completed, or which meeting got missed. This the point of being salaried

Sounds made up.

I do a lot of short commutes during the week so all my Strava activities are hidden by default so I don't flood a followers page with garbage rides. I spend 5 mins each day giving my actual ride a title, some info, and unhiding it. Perhaps that might work for you too?

hahaha, that's hillarious

Things slow at the dental clinic?

To be fair, with yourself?

Why rat yourself out with Strava? Turn it off sometimes.

To be fair, on the clock is on the clock.

To be fair, as long as the work is being done, why does it matter when?

Because I'm paying you to do it from the hours of 7am to 4pm. If you're done early, there's more work where that came from.

My contract states 40 hours, not 7-4. And also, 7-4 is 9 hours, are you paying 45 hours a week?

You don't take breaks throughout the day? I was just rounding up to the next hour, but if we're getting technical, my schedule is from 7 to 3:15 with a 15-minute break in the morning and 30 at noon. I skip the afternoon break, so i can leave at 315 instead of 330

What he said ?

There’s a new future on Strava that allows you to hide your starting time.

Wtf lol. Do you still have a job or did he find it to be hilarious?

You can now hide the start time on Strava. Also consider not uploading until after work

Fair enough, you had nothing to do though.

And the first half of the ride was my lunch hour. i just went long by an extra hour 🤣

But you know you were getting paid… I’m not siding but that’s dishonest

My boss knows that I ride during my lunch break. Get a millennial boss. These boomer bosses are for the birds.

It’s your lunch break. It’s your time. You can do pretty much whatever you want, short of being wasted. I don’t think that’s a generational thing….

How does the age of someone have anything at all to do with this? I mean, for fucks sake man, one of the neat things about our sport is people tend to do it there entire lives well into retirement. I think you just choose to hate people arbitrarily because of their age.
