No absolutely. Ellipsis convey a tone of "the thing I am saying is absurd and I can't believe I even have to tell you."

Here is what the Excel our "Project Manager" uses looks like (Simplified): Functional Specs Technical Specs {Etc} Deployment 2/2/2015 Apparently pointing out that our target dates had been slipping since Thanksgiving and we're 8 weeks late on a 12 week Dev cycle and saying THE L WORD was me being a "Lose Cannon" (<-- Direct Quote). We may not have design work completed 2 weeks before production, but we're still in Green status because we just keep compressing the remaining schedule into fewer and fewer days. But we totally aren't late, that would be bad! This poo poo is going to go to production a complete clusterfuck and I'm going to have to be back on 8am-Midnight 7 days a week to unfuck the Dev team's mess.

In that case, I'd read it like this: I had to drive five hundred miles because the senior network engineer reset a router to factory default over a remote link… - Can you believe this guy even has a job? I had to drive five hundred miles because the senior network engineer reset a router to factory default over a remote link. - Eh, these things happen. (e: Although in this example, 500!!! miles kinda implies going nuclear, heh) --- I was asked to do something tonight and am basically off tomorrow as a result of it. What I was asked to do, let's skip what it was because I am vague to the point of useless, but just know that when I was asked to do this, I pitched an internal bitch. I knew it needed to be done, but are you serious, I need to do that? That's going to take forever. How the, this is loving ridiculous, no, kiss my rear end. Fast forward to now, and I'm doing it, and wow this isn't so bad at all, I'm cruising through this. Run command, copy, paste, run command, copy, paste.

quote:Ellipses At least it's punctuation an old boss of mine refused to use any periods or commas when he typed it was comical when he would try to send a motivation email or something it would just come across as kind of inept he would change topics in the middle of his paragraphs he always addressed his emails with the word Team it got really annoying since we were about the furthest thing from a team you can think of and still be working for the same entity I'd much rather deal with spelling errors I agree that overusing ellipses is annoying though Man. It hurt to type that. I wish it were an exaggeration.

I was going to post this if you hadn't. This is the goddamned worst. Any time I read this kind of style, I just assume that the sender is some kind of illiterate fuckup and I'm usually right. The only exception is a guy from my last job who is pretty smart and chill, but didn't see a problem with doing this over messenger. He was at least kind enough to not do it in emails.

I'm sitting at work and not allowed to be high on vicodin despite my shattered left foot, which is significantly painful. I have therefore decided to make my operations manager's life hell simply because I am not allowed to be grumpy at customers.

Exit Strategy posted:My favorite thing about my terminal heart condition is getting to call into work and go "Man, I've got some serious chest pain today. I'ma take some vicodin and go back to bed, mark me out as sick." Is there a difference in policy between calling out sick for your heart condition and calling out sick because your foot is broken? Because it seems like if you need the vicodin and rest that you should take them and do that.

On the other side of things, I had an extensive dental procedure done a few days before I accepted a permanent position from being a contractor. I was high on percocet and loopy during the whole first day welcome aboard orientation thing and I even had to speak on a conference call for a bit. I enjoyed that

First time I have heard of this and after some googling this seems far fetched. Unless you are handling machinery or working in emergency services, your employer has no basis to keep you from taking pain medication. For one it boggles my mind how you would even get to that point. If I had a broken foot its not like I would be asking permission to take my medicine and if my boss went out of his way to tell me I can't take it I don't know how I could keep from laughing. I don't understand the level of doormat you would have to reach to even have a boss that thought that you taking your medicine was their decision. That seems like the easiest slam dunk unlawful dismissal I have ever heard of in all 50 states. And even beyond that, who would work for someone like that under any condition?

Unrealistic due dates from people refusing to answer questions. 1/19: "ElehemEare, this is top priority. I've spoken to your boss; we really need this by tomorrow, it's blocking our development team." I ask some clarifying questions because it's obvious this guy doesn't understand the concept at hand. It's the 23rd and all I hear is tumbleweeds; person is actively ignoring my phone calls. Sometimes being a remote employee is the worst.

He worked in a hospital and had a back injury. Hospitals may be a special case. To be sure he was not in a medical position, but still had patient contact. He was told that he could not work if he was taking opiates. An additional concern was that it would be hard to tell if an employee was taking prescribed opiates, or somehow getting them from hospital stores, but I am sure they mainly did not want someone who was working with patients to be loopy. He was able to take his meds after work.

Come back from vacation and find that a coworker was fired. Not a friend, but still part of the team is now gone with no explanation. So we're down a manager and three positions. Since these people have been gone, people here have been resetting or changing passwords, so now I'm locked out of every loving MAC in the building with no way to assist users.

Unless you are handling machinery or working in emergency services, your employer has no basis to keep you from taking pain medication. I would have just taken it if it were me. When you're legitimately in pain the pain meds you get should not be getting you "high" unless you're taking more than you should. I've taken pain killers to get high and when I've had legit medical needs (fractured hip, separate shoulder, torn muscles, broken leg, broken hand+surgery to fix), and there is a huge difference in effect on your cognitive abilities between taking them to get high and taking them to dull pain.

It's getting quite annoying that this one shitheel salesperson has been garnering influence in how to use our CRM, to the point where we've bought two additional services; even though this rear end in a top hat and nobody else uses the core system properly when I've made it watertight, and even delivered training for some reason which I know he must of straight hosed up since nobody has used the integrated training modules. Then he sent a zinger to find out "If there is any reason we cannot do a weekly Salesforce meeting for 30 minutes over lunch period"  Absolutely no way am I doing work over lunch, otherwise I'll be leaving 30 minutes earlier at the end of the day; this is the kinda guy who always mentions "I've done Salesforce training and this is the way things are done" when I can say I've done the administrator training, and any time he brings up his (Grandma's first computer) ECDL / ICDL Computer driving licence I laugh a little inside.
