Got hired for my expertise in all matters content and language. Got told to clean up the mess caused by the company never having a dedicated content editor. Provided a plan to clean up said mess. Boss man said he doesn't see the need to implement my plan. He feels changes aren't warranted. Today, he asked me to proofread the copy on the marketing materials for a conference we're attending; I found out a couple of instances of Gratuituously Capitalised words, pointed them out, got told they are to remain as is.

Workplace is slowly implementing invasive tracking software for everyone; we're one of the last departments to not get it yet. Love that the response to "we're losing all our talented people and productivity is cratering because we keep loving over everyone who stays" is "well let's squeeze more blood from the stone". Same as it always was. Sure wish it was as easy to find a new job as people love to claim.

There was some discussion about Slack earlier in the thread, and I'd like to know people's thoughts on the use of "@here" in Slack. Personally, I really think it should be used sparingly because it notifies everyone in the channel. Not too long ago one of our project managers went into our developer channel, and posted, "@here does anyone know c sharp?" Am I the rear end in a top hat for thinking this dude's Slack account need to be revoked?

If it helps, I write and edit all of our comms for the team I am in. I developed a short, to-the-point sign off for our email comms. My boss, who has a boner for chatgpt, used it to generate 3 overly long, complex, and dumb "variations" he wants me to use from now on.

Coworker slipped and fell on wet tile while carrying coffee, today. He insisted he's fine (despite the coffee stains on the back of his shirt) and refused to fill out a workplace accident report. I'm pretty sure the tile was wet because the tile cleaning guy had just done the first pass, and he hadn’t set down any signs, but I'm not entirely sure. The manager was sure that it wasn't the tile cleaning guy, because it was only one tiny patch of tile that was wet, but no one actually has a definite answer as to how the floor got wet in that spot. Coworker's refusal to fill out the report isn't because the manager wouldn't let him, he just thinks it's for only if you're injured. I couldn't convince him different.

Unless his bonus is contingent on incidents, this is dumb as gently caress. It's gone now, but there was a site called bigdeadplace.com that detailed the stupid poo poo that happens in McMurdo station. I remember reading about an initiative to cut down on injuries by offering teams a bonus if they could get through swings without any injuries. So there's be people breaking arms during the Antarctic winter, having the medic patch them up on the down low, and everyone pitching in to help the struggling crew member do their job to keep anyone back home from finding out so everyone could get their bonus. The stupidest scheme is cooked up by the stupidest, most predictable people resulting in the stupidest, most predictable outcome. Wayback machine has some of it but I can;t find the article: http://web.archive.org/web/20120227145723/http://www.bigdeadplace.com/

His bonus is contingent on how generous his tables are about tipping, and that's it. Agreed that it's dumb as hell not to report it, especially when the manager was right there offering to help him get it filled out.

I missed my chance to make a nice big workplace injury claim when I worked retail because I was young and stupid. They used to make us enter the store through the exit so we didn’t get counted as customers and gently caress up the customer:transaction ratio and obviously there were no mats to wipe your wet feet at the exit because it’s not an entrance, so I was carrying some poo poo I definitely shouldn’t have been carrying solo after it had been raining and completely ate poo poo on the tile floor. Landed on my knees with the load then landing on my thighs and further increasing the impact to my knees, and spent the next 2 weeks on crutches. There was no incident report form.

That's how it worked when I was the director of marketing at a hotel in Madison, WI. Any injury or accident at work--not even one that would involve worker's comp--triggered an automatic drug test and unpaid leave pending the results. We had a bell guy crash a car he was valeting. Nothing major, just bumped the fender while going around a corner. But he still had to go to HR and get his cheek swabbed, and the dude turned out to have cocaine and heroin in his system.

I posted about this before, but I'm currently suing my previous employer for wrongful dismissal and breaking copyright law by attributing work I did to someone else. Because it's required by law, the court asked me whether I was open to mediation instead of going directly to trial. I said yes, because even if I win, all I'm legally allowed to ask for is three months' salary. Mediation allows me to ask for that + the bonus I'm owed for initiating and being on the core team of a project that's currently being lauded and heavily promoted + for my abusive ex-boss to personally apologise to me on Linkedin. If they tell me to gently caress off, we'll go to trial anyway and I'll look like the reasonable party. In a way, they painted themselves into a corner; either they apologise to me, or I win the case and get to talk in public about their abusive management. The lesson I have for this thread is: if it's legal, screenshot all of your Slack conversations with bosses. Regularly download an archive of all your work emails. You'll never know when you'll need to attach them as evidence for a lawsuit. armpit_enjoyer fucked around with this message at 07:20 on May 12, 2023 |

But if you have a former manager speaking up for you, you're probably golden. Just let your ex-boss trash your former employer, don't you say a word against a former employer. Ever. The best reference I give is "I will try and hire them back at my first opportunity". I've even been able to do that once, they're an absolute rock and are going to be around a long time.

 BIG DUMB POST AHEAD!Last year my brewery's parent company had me make a beer for their summer beer garden. It was Korean themed so I ended up making a yuja tea (yuzu honey) pale ale. I did this because they wanted to keep costs relatively low (as it was an all you can drink in an hour and a half or two), be able to reach completion relatively quickly, and have a Korean character if possible. This meant no fruit as fruit is expensive, supplies aren't always reliable, and it would limit yeast pitches to single use. Lager was out because of the long fermentation and maturation times. Pale ale seemed like a good idea since it can usually be done in about 3 weeks, ingredients are relatively cheap, and it's pretty middle of the road and not too challenging. I also thought maybe adding the yuzu honey would work well with that. I wouldn't call the finished product a failure, but I wouldn't call it a success either. I only added a relatively small amount of the yuzu honey (around 10% of the overall sugar content), this meant it gave the beer very little flavor. I only sort of realized later that yuzu is a pretty unique flavor and, unlike a lot of other citrus, not supper easy to replicate with hop flavors/aromas. I tried using Cascade and Mandarina Bavaria (grapefruit and mandarin orange peel) to replicate it but it didn't work that great. Customers were apparently pretty disappointed that it didn't taste like yuzu. But it was locked in and couldn't really be changed. I didn't mind making the beer for them in theory but it tied up most of my tanks through the summer (the busiest time for breweries), so my monthly production schedule was hamstrung by having 3 or 4 of the 6 tanks tied up with this beer. If it sold well, it would have been less of an issue but management agreed to a commitment to produce a pretty large volume of this beer every month and sales started tapering off after the first month or so. By about mid summer we put it on tap here to try and get through all of the stock they weren't using and I was told to delay kegging of finished beer so it just sat in the tank taking up valuable space. Then they had a fire that shut down half of the outdoor space and we ended up having to sell of like 2 or 3 batches of the beer in our own taproom. On top of all that the beer garden never really advertised having their own unique beer for some reason and I would often get nearly full kegs back from them for reasons that were never really made clear. They just brought up doing a beer for this place again this summer. I'm not refusing to do it or anything but I'm hoping communication has improved since last year and the issues we faced due to management agreeing to way too much volume will mean more tempered expectations this year. Sales have been getting better since I was allowed more say in the production schedule and the section head working with me has helped production run a lot more smoothly. Summer is crazy and as dumb as it is there's a part of me that wants to try and release some interesting summer stuff. I may try and push them towards something using kveik yeast so that I can rush their stuff between other beers. Otherwise this could lead to some real frustration. And thank you for coming to my Ted Talk/listening to my Wendy's order.
