New manager is trying everything he can to find a cheap version of a hop bag that costs the princely sum of 1500 yen. He's pitching stuff like drier bags and cheap storage bags from the hundred yen store. Just nickel and diming the hell out of a relatively minor purchase that needs to be food grade.

Surely you could just jam it in a few rugby socks from the 100 yen store, right?

Mankind is ungovernable. If you take something from the equipment shuttle, check it out, or someone will come look to check out equipment that isn’t there. Two machines are sitting doing nothing because I can’t find the drat cover rings to keep testing. If I never post again I died in the mechanical jaws of the equipment shuttle, searching for goddamn metal rings. Don’t mourn me, it was always going to be this way.

Supe just called me to tell me to not come back from my vacation and call HR, called HR and she told me to come to the 2nd shift meeting at 2 tomorrow to get my paperwork and severance check. Kinda knew it was over when I left last week, but this is rough. I really liked that place.

My HR department has been one person who is 100% WFH since COVID started and they retired the actual HR guy, because a year later they announced they were shutting the plant down. Also my supe wanted to tell me how much she liked and appreciated working with me, plus take no work in ADP tonight.

Let's see...my boss gave me the third degree about my religion for asking for a day off weeks in advance. It's slow season, there are three of us and maybe ten customers a day. Then the boss also got upset my emergency tooth extraction is on a Monday instead of the middle of the week. It should have been Friday but I don't want to get fired for missing a corporate training day. So there's that. My face hurts.

Escape From Noise posted:Nah. They just called it "imperial stout". It's not the absolute worst thing but there's no mention of the smoked coffee or honey used (which are supposed to be selling points) other than in the ingredients listed (one of the listed ingredients is "otter" because I guess they didn't have space for "Maris Otter"). I'm not saying there should be some huge issue but I would think putting something like "Imperial Stout with honey and smoked coffee" might be a good idea. Just one of those things. Honestly don't understand how they can still do enough business to distribute in the state.

Focus on the art, name it after a movie/book/music album name and put the actual product/ingredients in a six point font that looks like handwriting. Yeah. I brought it up with someone. Was just like we should say IMPERIAL STOUT and in smaller but legible writing under it say with [special ingredients/hops]. Most people aren't going to look at the ingredients list for that. Gotta market it IMHO.

When I'm bullshitting with certain users (who can take jokes) while trying to figure out their problems I'll ask "Have you tried asking it nicely?" and if they say yes, my follow-up is "Oh, well then have you tried cursing at it?" If that's a yes, then I tell them "Well, then I'm out of ideas." Can't do it with everyone though.

Turns out someone typod that guy’s hours/week number in the HR system : 18.25 instead of 18.75 And thats why they lost insurance coverage all of a sudden and some of the kids medical payments got denied. And it only took researching and chasing down 8 heretofore unnamed hr people , sending email to a VP, and harassing that VP in person to read said email and reply “i approve” to get the wheels moving to possibly maybe get insurance coverage back next week maybe hopefully. This is literally the best we can do, as a people.

I was 9 months into my first ever management gig when I found out that one of my people had been being overpaid by ~2x their actual salary every month, because just before I took the job their last manager had agreed to reduce their working hours but fat-fingered the inputs into the HR system and left them on 35 hours a week instead of dropping it to 15. I only spotted it because I had to update some sickness records and the system kept insisting that the range of dates I was putting in added up to way more working hours than they’d actually been expected to work, and a quick call to HR to ask them “what the gently caress” uncovered the problem. They apparently never thought anything of the fact they continued to get paid a full time salary for part time work and were genuinely shocked when I dropped that particular bombshell on them, along with the company’s request that they work out a payment plan with the finance department to give back all of the overpayments.

Nah, they kicked and screamed about it and dragged their heels, eventually getting independent legal advice from someone who presumably told them how loving stupid they’d been to just sit on it without mentioning it to anyone (our employment contracts all have the same legalese boilerplate about needing to notify HR if you receive any payments you aren’t entitled to ((which is usually due to expenses fuckups rather than your whole-rear end salary)) and the company having the right to reclaim them) and then just started paying it back as requested. It would have come up by itself about a month or so after that when the annual salary reviews were due anyway, so it was a ticking timebomb the whole time. Dude was always hosed, it was just a question of how long he’d be able to coast on it. Edit: to clarify, I didn’t go to HR saying why the gently caress is this dude getting paid hella bucks, I went to HR to ask why the gently caress the piece of poo poo system wanted to put them down as absent for ~70 hours of sick time instead of ~30 because obviously that can’t be right and is loving them out of their sick time and then lol uh oh History Comes Inside! fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Feb 23, 2023 |

Industry friend asked if I had a certain dry yeast I wasn't using because he needed it this weekend and the supplier was out of it. It just so happened that I was sitting on some that I have no plans for ATM. I asked the boss expecting a ton of back and forth because of the corporate nature of this company but to my surprise he immediately answered to give permission to do so.  So that's a nice thing that happened today.

Outrail posted:Dude absolutely did the I did a little insomnia Googling and learned something tonight! Fun fact, even though we had it as boilerplate legalese in our contracts at that job it didn’t really matter at all, because here in the UK if an employer overpays you and then asks for it back they’re legally within their rights to just deduct it from your wages. (the “section 13” being referred to is the rules about things your employer can’t just withhold your wages for, so this entire thing is a carve out for “unless they overpaid you in which case give it back”) Looking around there’s generally an expectation that they give you the opportunity to agree a sensible figure each month to not leave you completely hosed, but if you don’t play ball they can just withhold the money until they’re made whole. Turns out we’re just as responsible for making sure we’re getting paid correctly as our employer is, essentially.
