In Mad Max 2 they specifically mention war due to oil shortages leading to nuclear armageddon.

Machai posted:Had a factory job a few years ago where I was being trained for QC and the trainer would just gently caress off to smoke all day. Every five minutes when I had a question for him I would have to walk outside and drag him back in to do his drat job. A year later when the factory was close to shutting down he used up all his sick days and just had some vacation time left. He got super drunk and high one night and was not sober enough for his shift so he had to rush to put in for a vacation day an hour before his shift. No one was answering the phones so he drove in (still inebriated) and walked into the supervisor's office to ask for the vacation day in person. Sounds like my old QA department. One time I had to call the guy on shift on his cellphone to release a room for me because he was out hitting on girls at a line dancing bar.

Atopian posted:Something something line stoppage That particular day, we showed up at 6PM and finished a teardown of a fill for ~2.5 hours. He released the room for sanitization at about 9, and then came to my buddy and I (I was the de-facto filling lead on my shift due to some egregious FMLA abuse) and told us to take until at least after 2:30AM. I told him, explicitly, under no loving circumstances was I going to wander around in a full bunny sanitizing a cleanroom four times for nearly 6 hours when I can do it in 2.5-3 so he can go try to crush some puss on the clock. We finished and my boss started paging him, then had me start paging him since he was constantly dodging my boss anyway, and then started threatening me because that particular fill was 2 days behind schedule on setup already and there were like 4 hours left to start opening up equipment and setting up before it all had to get deconned, re-prepped and autoclaved again. So I ended up calling him and ruining his on-the-clock pussy hunt, because if I gotta fuckin gown into a cleanroom like 4-5 times in a night, my quality guy can do it twice.

I had a weird meeting last Friday with the COO and stand-in HR lady (marketing lady, HR is on maternity leave). Someone* has noticed that I've been working from home Tuesdays and Thursdays since I got back from my one week of paternity leave; mind you half the reason I took this job was that I could have partial work from home once I got up to speed (started this job in May). I explained that to the COO, who interviewed me and now he does not recall discussing that. I further explained that my wife absolutely needs me at home twice a week to care for our infant. So I was graciously granted Tues/Thurs work from home for another 30 days, at which point we'll reconvene and reassess. I spent the weekend polishing my resume. I finally get a chance to talk to my immediate manager on Wednesday, he reassures me that my work has been excellent, everyone can't say nice enough things about me, and that someone* doesn't have enough work to do and cant mind their own business, leading to the meeting in the first place. His advice is to keep the peace for now and wait til HR can get back from leave, to confirm certain agreed upon things regarding my working from home, and that he doesn't give a drat when or where I work as long as I get my stuff done. Relevant info: I have an hour commute each way! *probably the old busy-body admin assistant; thought she liked me but I guess not!

Hopefully sweet peace and reason will prevail, but yeah, definitely a situation where having at least some tentative replies from potential employers in 30 days will be helpful. If nothing else, they'll help you have the right attitude and approach in that meeting to achieve the best results for you. In general, I have done my best work in situations where I have known i have alternatives, because it has given me the confidence to push back on policies, initiatives, and people who seem to want to damage productivity. Feeling trapped leads to going along with the usual management-mark-making change for change's sake.

This is old school, there is a product that exists today called "liquid rear end" and if you spray it on something it will never come out. I think it's used in some sort of medical training now to make sure first responders or healthcare workers don't immediately puke when the worst smell imaginable is encountered.

Pennies are very important when your product has a profit margin of less than about $10, maybe. You could get a few % increase!

I joined my team in April and my boss explicitly told me in June that he saw me as the next manager of the team when he retired in a couple years. He called us into a random, unnamed meeting yesterday and announced he got a new job in the company and was leaving September 1st. Complete shock to everyone. I know I don't have the experience with this group to step into the job. He agreed. Ouch. He said he would try to pull me into his current group in a year or so if he can to give me another shot at a promotion, but acknowledged that two lateral moves in a row wouldn't be great. Then the guy coordinating my wife and my move for her job suggested, multiple times in one email, I was planning to divorce her and claim spousal support before he realized I was responding from a company account as well.

Yesterday my boss’s boss scheduled an all-hands meeting for 7:30 this morning. He cancelled it at 5am. This is the third time he’s done this. There are significant time zone differences involved so the timing is understandable, but this is supposed to be a monthly update. Just schedule it and stick to it, man.

I keep missing the all-hands meetings (which are basically "is everyone doing ok? Alright cool bye" at this point) because we use Skype. And I muted the group with all employees in it because it gets flooded with birthday wishes nearly every day, making it distracting and useless. So far I don't think I've missed anything important.

So last year a series of poor management decisions led to a bunch of people quitting, and it hasn't been possible to replace most of them by recruitment. Most of the people they *have* been able to recruit are underexperienced or underqualified or both. I am only sticking around for the remainder of my current contract, and they need me urgently, so I have no fear of firing. A manager who wasn't involved in last year's clusterfuck has asked me for a detailed explanation of it. What are the reasons that I should not do this? Like, it seems like it can't harm me from my initial thoughts, but I don't want to become the Stupid poo poo at work.

Outrail posted:Why not round up to an even $1,000? Because the pricing information of these upgrades and features are all fairly open but one is going to argue about getting swindled for five $10 round-ups on a piece of equipment that costs $400,000 but they absolutely will over paying $2500 extra for literally nothing It's a long con. Sell 1000 machines a year and round up $50 or $100 on each one, in addition to commission and base salary? You do the math. The managers and territory managers in my company make obscene money. Like, if your customer is PG&E and they want to buy 300 pieces of equipment because of forest fires and poo poo, and each one costs between $250,000 and $500,000 each, the commissions alone are basically enough for someone to retire on the very next day after the deal is signed.
