We'll see. The only opportunities in my field I know of would require a move and it'd probably be better to stay until my visa gets renewed. It's been a while and I've gotten this drat brewery off the ground once they got the license so...hell.

Well folks, two significant things happened this week: 1. My work forced all of us back into the office on at least a 50% basis 2. My work is about to become my former work, because I just received and accepted an offer for a new position that is twice the salary and full remote, starting in two weeks

I share a partitioned double office with an engineer who is kinda my boss. We have a freight rail spur behind the building and there was some train action today. I expressed regret that missed out on getting some flattened coins for my kid. He said "that seems like a good way to derail a train." So I looked it up because the guy is an engineer and maybe he.... Oh, no, train don't care about coin. He's also unvaxxed and libertarian so I don't know what I expected.

I asked a higher-up manager who's involved with the restaurant about having a one on one sit-down. I didn't say why. Apparently he's very nervous. I guess he thinks I'm really angry? I know I can come off that way. I know I probably sound that way ITT, and yeah, I get upset and annoyed at stuff but I'm alright overall. Just need to blow off steam. I think maybe he thinks I'm going to quit, or threatening to? I'm not sure if that works to my favor since I don't really have anything lined up ATM. I do think this guy is alright and at least understands my importance in making this brewery function on like a basic level, but I worry that a fair amount of the managers don't understand the industry or brewing at all and think they can just send someone off to do some training at another brewery for a month or two and slot them into my position.

Pyrtanis posted:Don't keep us in suspense!! It's pretty dumb. But basically there's a big craft beer event here in Osaka every year (except for the last two years) that's put on by the Osaka Brewer's Association and they invite all of the craft breweries in Kansai (the Kansai region contains the prefectures of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama, Shiga, and Hyogo). Breweries don't apply or anything for an invite. They will invite you automatically if you are a brewery in Kansai not owned by a major beer company and have gotten your brewing license even within a couple months of the event. This isn't an invitational. That's not the point. It's meant to be for promoting the local scene, and I think is a very good way of helping new, and especially smaller breweries access a wider audience than they might normally be able to. The event's organizer has been doing it for years and, frankly, I think works her loving rear end off to put it all together and gets very little praise for it. Again, this is not an exclusive event, and it was never meant to be. There are invitational events as well. This just is not that kind of beer event. Anyways, this one brewery is apparently boycotting the event because there are too many not "real" craft beer places there pouring "mediocre beer". He's also really buttmad that a former employee will be there for the brewery he started. I guess he quit really quickly. Apparently everyone does. You know, you just can't find good help these days. I also find it funny that this guy is taking this stance when their beer is what I would call "agressively mediocre" and the guy has a very corporate approach to his brewery. Apparently, he refuses to make any beer that takes more than three weeks to complete in order to maximize product output. I mean that's fine. But he literally wrote the business plan for this place for his MBA course so it's a very business first kind of brewery. Also, this event has always been all inclusive since it started, with plenty of bad to mediocre breweries attending, so it's not like this is new. Also plenty owned by larger restaurants, etc. in the past. I thought maybe Spring Valley (owned by Kirin) would be there but from what I can tell, they aren't. So suddenly taking a "stance" on this seems more than a little precious to me and misses the point of the event almost entirely. Edit: I do wish I was able to make my former boss so mad at my attendance that they'd ragequit an event. Escape From Noise fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Apr 29, 2022 |

When I don’t get paid, I don’t show up to work the next day But that’s a very good point and I’m gonna be jobsearching this weekend and in the near future, I gotta get out of here. Edit: my boss, who was hired one week before me, has been on my rear end to finish doing a specific small project asap The small project is a task I have no written instructions for. I did it two weeks ago and got bad results, but the data analysis person was off all of last week. She came back, looked at my results, and said they weren’t good. Okay. So the dude training me gets to show me how to do it more specifically. We started it at 2, and he hosed it up three times during the process, to the point that we needed to start over. He hadn’t finished it by the time I left at 5.

SkyeAuroline posted:Not my work, but my interviewing: scheduling call number five of this goddamn interview process for a job I probably won't even end up taking because of conditions that weren't advertised up front. Just give an offer or some form of closure already, going over the same points and questions repeatedly with multiple people who are sharing notes is not helping anyone. Followup: of course he managed to time the call right when I had apartment maintenance here that I needed to talk to (and couldn't, because I couldn't put the guy on extended hold), all for a ~30 minute call rereading the same goddamn ground that's been trodden for the last 3 calls. Offer one way or another early next week, but from every red flag this guy has raised (while joking he's "trying to talk me out of it" alternately with being very excited and eager), the company is a shitshow and we'd be catching every goddamn role in the company. Plus a few hour-and-a-half-across-a-time-zone-each-way commutes a month, which at least is better than the initial "can you do a couple days in office a week". I'm almost certainly not taking it. I appreciate the offer of 50-75% over what I'm getting paid now but I do not appreciate it enough for all the bullshit that it sounds like is coming down the pipe if I do. Onward with searching for literally anything with zero luck so far, I guess.

Someone suggested blocking off time in your calendar to have time to do work instead of constantly getting interrupted prepping to go to or coming out of meetings. They went further to suggest everyone on their team was blocking off the same hours so they could all be productive at the same time and keep their scrums out of each each others way. Then they said wouldnt it be great if the whole org did this?!? So much productivity! There was a general feeling of positivity, as if something genuinely good was happening. Then some rear end in a top hat reminded everyone that time zones were a thing, and that effectively this would require everyone to take meetings at 6 am or 9 pm to work around everyone elses time zones and productivity time. I said “ why dont we just not have meetings ever and just handle it all through topic specific slack channels or something?” And everyone laughed hhahahahahahha yeah thad be great right ?!!? I wasnt joking.

President wants to thank us for our hard work and dealing with multiple software integrations in a short timeframe. Bonus? Paid lunch? Let us dip early and pay us? Of course not! It will be a fun, interactive activity on Teams! Basically my exact nightmare scenario. Even better, is is scheduled for 4:00 on a Friday afternoon. Really sucks that I have therapy that day precisely at 5 and will have to miss it!

Mandatory weekly meetings about imaginary problems instead of solving real problems. We have one third the staff we're supposed to have. The added stress is making yet another guy quit. So the problem continues to compound on itself. No end in sight.

Another time, many years ago a big VP with clout made a “no meetings on friday unless there is a VP there in the meeting with you.” There was much rejoicing from the people who do work. There was much grumbling from the project managers and middle management, but they went along with it. For 4 weeks i think. “But this meeting is critical! The business needs this status so we can roll that up for director 4 to report to little VP 12 on monday first thing!!! And fridays are the only time anyone has available now!!!! And you cant give little VP 12 stale status from Thursday that does not include what got done on friday!!!!!!!!!!!!” So it goes. It was a nice 4 weeks tho.
