I think its considered rude to follow up asking how many pool boys they have on staff.

I make maps for a living, mostly working with engineers and the like. It's very chill when it's not crunch time. (Peroids of late spring, late fall)

I work for a large non-profit research company. The overall structure of our organizaton is hard for me to explain, but I am in a program that does survey research (public health mostly). The culture is a lot like liberal academics. In fact it's a lot like a university except our administrators aren't terrible education admini and we still have to do plenty of corporate nonsense.

I am the boss of four young engineers but fortunately since we live in the godless liberal northeast of the US they're all either nice enough not to have hateful opinions or are at least smart enough to not say them out loud

Imagine a bunch of academic engineers in a production environment, and your job is to get them to stop playing at being scientists and designing the perfect part, and just making something that works. That's my workplace.

I’m a Director for a DevOps Consultant. Most of my day is unblocking my engineers from doing their work, and approving time off requests. I try my best not to interfere in the day to day. I was an engineer before this and had some awful bosses.

I am a high school English teacher and it should be a really awesome job but for some reason it sucks!

Since covid and an office remodel basically no one comes into the office except for a few teams scattered around the building. My team has to have people in every day since we're computer janitors but our boss set up a rotation so we all work from home twice a week and no one but him has to come into the office both Mondays and Fridays. My actual team: - We have a bunch of Nerf guns and two putting greens in out semi-enclosed area and a cornhole setup just outside it. - We have a TV with a Chromecast and among other things have watched Shark Week during the day. - The Facilities people let us have a mini fridge and a microwave in our area. They also just recently gave us a toaster. - The cafeteria workers will give us free pizza if we come down at just the right time. One dude has squeaky shoes and they will scream for him to come take the pizza if they hear him in the hall. - My boss gets a kick out of throwing stress balls at us to get our attention. - Since I started there in 2019, we've had the best metrics of every other computer janitor team in our company - most tickets closed, quickest time to close, etc. To the point that our boss has had to give presentations to other manager on "How he does it" (Hint, he mostly just lets us do our thing). The company itself: - The paybands got hosed up and they've been slow to adjust for things like inflation and market rates. - The other computer janitor teams are just dog poo poo to the point that sometimes mangers in other locations reach out to us because they think we'll fix them faster. - How the company manages issuing computers to users is dogshit and involved a 3rd party company that routinely sent completely dead machines to new hires. That's finally getting fixed. - I'm pretty sure most managers aren't even checking for pulses when interviewing job openings. Some of the people hired are... Just the grossest. Laptops covered in what might be Keyboard Goop. Bedbugs crawling out from under the keys.... - A stockholder with a big enough stake got the CEO to step down because he sucked. Then actually got him to be completely shitcanned instead of the token board position he was going to have. - It looks like four years after they bought the company I started with, we're getting spun off as an independent company again.
