Lawlicaust posted:The story in question wasn't just that though. They stored it on film and the film was in this warehouse that wasn't anywhere near their office. Like different state. Then the next week, it was oh we checked at the warehouse but it burned down this weekend. Oh god this is my loving boss. "Ottoman can you drop all the fifty things you're doing to photocopy stacks of stapled crap that you will have to pick apart?" "You mean (Project)? I gave that to you yesterday." "Oh but I don't have it so that means you never gave it to me." At which point I glare at the enormous piles on his desk in which said project undoubtedly reside. I've gotten into the habit of making a couple extra copies of things that are recent so I can just yank them out of thin air instead of doing double and triple work. Worse is when he asks someone to do something, then five minutes later he'll ask someone else to do the same thing without telling them that he already asked someone else to do it. Sometimes he'll have three or four people on the same task. So then the same person gets called more than once about the same thing, the same information is gathered by three different people, and when they finally realize what's going on they feel like goddamn assholes. It's not only doing double and triple work but it's wasting tons of times and resources, and interdepartmental rapport can be hard to maintain if you keep calling about the same effing thing. I will stop here as there are endless ways to describe his douchbaggery.

I realize dress codes suck and we don't have one at all but I think my office has gone a little far in one direction. A girl came into work today dressed as Captain America (Cap hoodie, blue pants and red shoes). I'm going to try to get a picture later, I know based on everything I've said recently this is a little problem but still.

We've had a dress code of business casual for years but it was never enforced, so most people just wore jeans and a t-shirt and management never cared. Last week we moved to a new location and we're now in the corporate building, so it's been made clear that anybody who violates dress code is going to get written up, because something something something make a good impression on other departments when we're in the parking lot. We have people who have been working in this department for 8+ years and...don't really know what business casual is anymore. Somehow these people manage to look even more tacky than if they were wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Unironed, button down shirt with no tie and one too many buttons open, dress pants, and patent leather shoes. I don't know if some of these people don't know better, or they were just scrambling to find clothes that wouldn't break dress code because we only knew about this change for several months. Planning ahead? What's that? Khakis and a polo. Come on guys it's not hard. Renegret fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Aug 7, 2014 |

I guess it's all relative to where you work, because a polo is fine here. If someone wore a tie, we'd ask him if he had an interview later. If they wore a jacket, we'd ask if the interview was for a management position. My coworkers can be incredibly petty too. There's been an ongoing argument over weather or not your polo has to be tucked in to be considered acceptable. With all the problems we're facing right now and people want to argue over tucking in their shirts?

One thing about women button down shirts though; you can't really tuck them in. Men's Oxford shirts tend to come down to about mid thigh whereas most women's button down shirts, you're lucky if they reach your hip bones. Basically one side is coming out of your trousers if you sit down. Also the bottom stitching on most women's button down shirts is really ugly and poorly done, so women try to tuck them in but it doesn't really work,. And that's not even getting into button gapping around the boob area. Basically it's really hard for most women to wear button down shirts because designers think we're just small men.

I have always worked in law offices, so its entirely possible that my calibration is hosed up. v v When I think of a polo and khakis, it says 'Target' rather than a business environment. Edit: I just checked our actual written policy, and apparently a polo shirt would be ok. I have worked here four years and never seen anyone wear one. I wonder if no one actually realizes, or if no one is willing to be the first one to take the plunge. Guess you guys were right!

It's accepted practice in my office that even though we're exempt from the stricter parts of the dress code (we can end up wrist deep in a truck engine at five minutes notice and work won't pay our drycleaning bills), we're supposed to tuck our t-shirts into our jeans and wear a belt while we're at it. Hell, I tuck my t-shirt into my shorts when I'm at work.

I'm in the Bay Area, we don't believe in things like business casual. Our developers will wear flip flops to work if they drat well feel like it. I personally just wear button down dress shirts, an occasional blazer, jeans, and some nice shoes. Its about as formal as it gets in the engineering department. You have to go over to the business-side of the building to see people wearing more business casual clothes. http://theoatmeal.com/pl/minor_differences5/suit I thought this was relevant to this discussion.

Dress code at the last company I worked at was pretty much "please try not to come to work wearing nothing but your underwear during business hours, thanks." I think we actually did have some sort of minimal casual dress code written down somewhere, but corporate HQ was in another state and no one in our office cared in the least how people dressed, so it didn't really apply. My current company is a bit old-fashioned, so our building is business casual (polos or better, basically) at a minimum. If you work in the HQ building down the street you pretty much have to wear a suit and tie; us polo-shirted slobs sometimes get funny looks when we have to go over there to put hands on servers in the data center.  I would never work anywhere that required me to wear a suit or a tie, because gently caress that poo poo, I need to wear comfortable clothes. Hell, I don't even own a suit. I'd totally do T-shirts and jeans if left to my own devices, but a Carhartt polo and a pair of Dockers ain't so bad.

Since we're on a similar topic, what's everyone's workplace stance on tattoos? I have an inner-bicep tattoo that I kept covered unless I was just with immediate department-mates. Then someone higher-up told me I was being ridiculous. We're nominally business casual, but most people wear jeans. I only cover it now if I have a meeting with higher-ups. That said, very few other employees seem to have tattoos, although some customer-facing people (I've never even seen a customer) have visible tattoos and the average age at the company seems to be 45.

My office's business casual is only enforced during the weeks when the corporate bigwigs are in town. Though, the manufacturing side of the building's only real dress code is closed toe shoes (or steel toe if you're in certain areas) and that's where I work. Since I'm an engineer I only occasionally run up to the front businessy side and sometimes I get some weird looks. Though I get weird looks from time to time when I channel my inner-Stevie Nicks, anyways. The HR guy told me that they had a guy who came into work in one of the areas with heavy machinery with gold sequinned booty shorts. He had no reason aside from self-expression. This is an area where you can get a blob of polymer at 180C on your thigh, let alone the fact that it's wholly inappropriate socially. EDIT: Tattoos don't seem to be mentioned at all at my work place, even on the businessy side of things. I think the receptionist has a cute bird tattoo along her clavicle. But since I'm in Canada people only really have a few months where its warm enough to show off all their tattoos.

Tattoos and piercings have to be hidden or covered at my place. One of our other sysadmins has gotten a talking-to because a bit of a tattoo on her back was visible when she wore a sleeveless dress (and we all got a dress code reminder email from HR shortly afterwards with the "no visible tattoos or piercings" rule in big bold red text at the bottom).

My old job was business casual but slid into "jeans and decent shirt" territory while I was there. My new job is business casual and ~blue jean Fridays~ are A Thing and now I have to look nice every day instead of just when I go to client meetings. Every non-salary worker (mechanics, shop workers, etc) has to wear a uniform and it creates a weird class divide in the company between Office People and everyone else. At my old job everyone wore whatever and there seemed to be a lot more intermingling and communication between cube dwellers and manual laborers since it wasn't as obvious at first glance where you worked. Also  at women's button down shirts, good luck wearing them if you have any semblance of boobs or shoulder muscle and not flashing skin in any position other than standing up with perfect posture (and then when you do that your boobs almost burst your buttons!)

Poop Cupcake posted:My boss was on vacation in India for over a month and we got so much done while he was gone that we were able to leave early almost every day. He has to justify coming in (late) everyday by meddling in everyone's work, constantly asking for status updates, and randomly assigning/reassigning tasks while we're buried in other stuff to do. The office is so much more productive when he's not here interfering. Ffs, he's the president of the company and we would be better off without him here. Our medical facility is attempting to rebound after a really big reduction in force (RIF) that didn't decrease our numbers but bumped tons of people, and another RIF is coming in a few months due to a sister facility closing down. We were told a couple weeks ago that we would be getting a new CEO. We had finally broken in the last CEO and she wasn't the best but she was OK after a while. New CEO decides to have an optional town hall style meeting for any staff who care to attend. Everyone is nervous and upset and wary in general because we are just barely keeping our heads above water emotionally and trying to not let our helpless residents suffer through all these drastic staffing changes. This new CEO has a lot of rumors behind him since he was transferred from somewhere else - rumors such as him hating women and him caring more about random poo poo like employee parking more than anything that matters. So people went to his meeting and waited for the new leader to introduce himself. (I didn't go, my last day is in a week and I have poo poo to do.) There was no "I am happy to be here" or "let's make sure our residents get our best efforts." He apparently just started barking orders. He has four goals and they are all to uphold his pet peeves regarding parking, IDs, cell phone usage, and dress code (and he will be coming up with an unnecessary new dress code very soon). Not a loving word about the welfare of our residents, which is number one priority, and not a loving word about our own welfare as many hundreds of employees are in fear of all the changes coming. In fact someone kept asking hard questions in the night shift version of the meeting and he told them to leave. And at one point he rambled about how he doesn't need food or sleep and how we should learn from him or some stupid poo poo. I have never heard my own douchebag bosses speak ill about those above them until today. I am so loving happy I am leaving this place now. This man will never be respected because he is not showing any humility whatsoever. I wish upon him whatever is the modern equivalent of being tarred and feathered.

Dress is really dependent on corporate culture. Better companies don't usually give a poo poo unless you look sloppy. Most companies have policies against certain dress just because the person who wrote the policy is a stuck up jackass. Tattoos and piercings are the same way. Some of our senior directors even have facial piercings and very visible tattoos. Our IT department does push the envelope though. They tend to walk around in shorts and a t-shirt. No one really says poo poo because they are really loving good at their jobs. The only time that stuff really matter is when it impacts the business (don't look like poo poo when dealing with suppliers) Also wear the right clothes for the country you are in. The Russia office makes designer suits mandatory whereas the UK office has a ban on ties and jackets. Unrelated, we had a really great candidate interview for a position a few weeks ago. We were going to hire him until some of the panel opened the portfolio he left with us. I guess he was trying to be memorable because it was a was 20+ pages of his achievements and accomplishment in meme format. Cat pictures talking about him dominating noobs and his mad skills. I thought it was hilarious but definitely inappropriate when interviewing with a bunch of non IT people for a support position in their department.

The idea is that by dressing professionally, you more easily get yourself mentally into a state where you act professionally. I think that it's a nice idea to do it IF YOU WANT TO (I've done it for short bursts when I was feeling punchy), but making it mandatory is just obnoxious.

My office didn't have a dress code beyond "don't wear raggedy poo poo, and no shorts unless the temperature outside is above 100" for the eight years I've been here. Last year, we hired a new guy, and one of my coworkers took a disliking to him, started complaining about how the young guy was wearing tshirts with logos - nothing obnoxious, just shirts from his alma mater. So then my boss institutes a dress code, khakis and polos. But he doesn't stick to it. In fact, the new guy wore jeans and a tshirt once a few weeks back and the coworker that started all this poo poo was trying to bust his balls when up walks our boss, also in jeans and a tshirt. He claimed to not remember anything about a dress code (which is probably true, my boss can't remember anything). I'm glad that I can wear jeans again, but I'm kind of pissed at all the money I spent buying khakis and polo shirts.

I thought it was hilarious but definitely inappropriate when interviewing with a bunch of non IT people for a support position in their department. I was like this when in my early 20s so I would like to ask you a favor and that is to contact the guy and let him know that his portfolio was the biggest deal breaker you ever seen. That he has the right to express himself how he wishes but that it has consequences such as not getting hired. Or would this open you up to litigation? I just feel bad for the guy  We are in summer downtime so there are no active projects ongoing and the ones we had in the pipeline were politiced out of our grasp so we were very overstaffed. There were 8 of us. - One got send back to India while I was on summer leave, had a three day notice and it would have been less if there was an earlier flight. This guy does not mind as he wants to be with his wife of four months. - One will be send back next week, there was no earlier flight. Because of this, he is told to take leave / loss of pay for the period where it went over 4 days notice period. Basically bad company planning is costing him a week worth of pay. He minds as being abroad allowed him to save up money for his upcoming wedding. - One girl was on the roll to be send back and she threatened to quit as she would not leave her husband behind who got a stable assignment here. She was allowed to take unpaid leave until they find her a new assignment, this is brought as a major favor. - The teamlead quit, he is fed up with the bullshit and found a job with a local company with similar pay but European benefits instead of an Indian contract. The company then stringed him along for almost three weeks where they said they would give a counter offer and Euro contract, which in the end they did not. - One guy who got his wife an assignment here and flew his full family over is now threatened with unpaid leave unless he finds himself a project to work on at the client side. I know about his expenses and he is really stressed out. - We hired a new local two months back, three days after his probation period into a permanent contract, his client side project is killed and he took two weeks leave for his summer break. It is unclear what he will be doing upon his return. - Two team members will have no project after this week and will likely get send back. - The project board I was working on looked at the bottom line and figured that they can do without a project manager so I have been idle as well but as a local hire with a permanent Euro contract I am not worried. I am interviewing anyway as this is such a weird death spiral I want to get out really badly. Currently got a few leads and this is nice for summer time, if nothing materializes right now it will be in Autumn for sure as there is a massive surge in projects in the country now that the stupid downturn is becoming an upturn. Risks: Putin fucks up the European economy after we hosed up his. The above was all (except for the Putin thing) caused by the client putting through a big organizational shuffle right before summer after which all decision makers went on leave for a few weeks leaving some sort of power-vacuum in which nothing happens or really weird stuff goes on. I can tell a bit about the great jump to Agile/SCRUM that is going on in my spouses workplace if anyone cares?

On the portfolio thing - I never did hiring but I got a lot of résumé, and it's been my experience that contacting these people to tell them "hey I'm the wrong person to talk to, you're applying to the wrong kind of organizations, contact these guys if you can work legally in Canada." (Most of the résumés I got were from overseas) It never ended with "oops, sorry", they always tried to argue that I should send their résumés on to people who were hiring and blah blah blah. They were all terrible resumes too  Let HR handle it, especially since there's potential liabilities at play.

Keetron posted:I can tell a bit about the great jump to Agile/SCRUM that is going on in my spouses workplace if anyone cares? Oh, I love it when orgs try to adopt an Agile workflow when it isn't right or when they completely gently caress up the concept. I worked for an education company once who worked for professors to develop online content. Since the course work is supplemental to the professor's usual duties, a single course would be developed over about two months. Not the best, but once we got the course developed we could adapt it for use in later semesters, usually over a couple of weeks, maybe more depending on the level of revisions. The Assistant Director and one of the other higher-ups went to some kind of tech conference they had no business going to, and came back waving the banner of Agile. The new directive for all courses, new and old? Everything done in two weeks, because a sprint shouldn't last more than two weeks! SCRUM meetings that lasted for an hour or more! Where you couldn't sit down because SCRUMs are stand-up meetings! Naturally, this stressed everyone the hell out, the professors were pissed that we kept bothering them for materials to finish the course, and no, "the professors haven't gotten us materials" wasn't a valid excuse for not meeting sprint goals. Turnover for the content developers there shot up pretty drastically. One of them even went back to law school to get out. On dress code chat, there's only one hard rule at the place I work at now. You must wear pants or some other form of lower body covering, and they must be clean. The last place had a hard rule of no bathrobes, and also no wearing company-branded materials to fetish parties. There was an incident once.

Most of the women ignored it and just wore flats anyway and I can't blame them.

The only woman in my department and the youngest person by at least 10-15 years. I could probably get away with a lot before someone would say something. I have a pair of hot pink zebra stripe flats, I should wear those one day. I can't even imagine what shoes I'd wear if flats weren't allowed along with heels. Boat shoes? Loafers? The horrible uniform shoes I had to wear in high school? I guess flat soled boots would be the least horrible option, but that would be uncomfortable in the summer.

Wear steel-toed boots and tell them its for OSHA compliance.

The Grammar Aryan posted:Oh, I love it when orgs try to adopt an Agile workflow when it isn't right or when they completely gently caress up the concept. There's a new methodology for developing education material that's meant to rival ADDIE called SAM which is meant to adopt the iterative design principles of Agile. It's pretty cool, I imagine if I ever worked in a team developing content I would like it. But attaching it to such a specific time frame is ridiculous and clearly shows the PM has no idea about how to develop educational content. Particularly when it's not your SME's main function. Are you in Toronto? This sounds like something my old employer would have done.
