I'd love to use webex but I know there is exactly a 0% chance I'll be able to convince anyone to change bridge call numbers. Instead I'm dedicating my day to figuring out how to do it on intercall so we don't have to change numbers.

Yeah, it really just says something about my employer in general that there was nothing anywhere safety-related around this and that they open manhole covers spraying out nitrogen into a public area. And yes... some chucklefuck stuck his head in a pipe for no apparent reason. They even included clip art of the event!

We use Lync/Skype, it's pretty nice, except for when my computer breaks and I realize I have no way to actually call the help desk on my own.

My job made that convincing easy: first, they said meeting that start after 4/28 should be scheduled using WebEx. When people kept using their old numbers to schedule meeting beyond that date, the company said screw it, deleted all of the old numbers and forced everyone to switch.

Also, remember that this is a company where the CEO transitioned seamlessly from talking about our wonderful safety culture/record into a minute of silence for a technician who got electrocuted in her monthly presentation. The mental disconnects here are pretty amazing.

Sundae posted:Whose company is this one? Is this the IT guy? I need to follow his thread if so! just some guy in work crew who's company just as crazy as yours. I was gonna quote a bunch of poo poo from him but then I realized how weird that would be, to post so much about another poster. The highlight is a mandatory yearly retreat that lasts the entire day and you get written up if you don't go, regardless of excuse. High point includes being forced to turn to your partner and give them a back rub, as ordered by the CEO's wife. Basically company mandated sexual assault (This might have been stopped, I don't remember) There was also the time when their CEO had an all hands meeting and said "don't worry nobody's getting laid off", then the next day people got laid off.

Notice goes in tomorrow. Dont think ill find a better boss than the one Ive had. Kept him in the loop since I wanted to leave he even got me a back dated for four months 20% rise I did explain as he presented it to me that money wasnt the issue and that its the companies exec who we have both challenged numerous times to be both swiftly removed from the project. He insisted the money was worth the hassle which it is, just a "shame" another companies matched it. Either way first proper career move post entry level feels kinda strange!

Starting to think it was a good idea to hold off on giving my two week notice, my background check isn't done yet (one week later) and I can't even get ahold of the HR department of supposed new employer to ask for a pushed back start date.

Death is certain. Nothing else is. (Hope it works out for you!) Sales rep asked me last week for an internal certificate that I have never heard of and said it was urgent. Asked for clarification from her or the customer, didn't hear from her again for a week. Gets back to me today saying "yes I've seen this requested before but I don't have any record of what it is. She needs it ASAP". Gee thanks for nothing, I'll get right on that  She also did that awful email writing thing where each sentence is separated from the others by two lines. That's not how paragraphs work you nincompoop!

Salespeople. Can't live without them, I guess. But drat, I wish I could have some of whatever the gently caress they're on. The laws of man and nature are just expected to bend around these people's mindpath; reality parts before them like the Red Sea before Mose. They've seen the light. They know what their production and design people can achieve even better than the engineers themselves. Luckily, like a North Korea leader, they will grace the operation staff with their presence and provide guidance on how to better do their job. Legal only exists to find the loopholes through which they can achieve Nirvana. But at the end of the day they're the ones feeding your pay check. And gently caress if they'll ever let you forget it. And no, you can't have any of whatever the gently caress they're on. Go back to trying to fit ten pounds of poo poo in an eight pound bag, peon. We already told he customer it was an easy job. We gave them a discount because of all the money we'll save on bags!

FrozenVent posted:Salespeople. Can't live without them, I guess. I've sent/shared/made visible my calendar to the entire sales staff on numerous occasions, and really strive to keep it as up-to-date as possible, including what city I'm working out of on a given day. Does that in any way stop sales people from double- or triple-booking me for meetings in a city 2 hours away? Nope, of course not. And then they claim I'm not a "team player" when I decline the meetings or propose new times. I have my own poo poo to do; I'm not just waiting by the phone hoping some sales person will call up with "the deal of a lifetime" (read: client only wants to buy $1,000 of widgets for $995, one-time). They have no concept of "I am fully-booked on this day, with multiple meetings lasting multiple hours, I am not available." Unless of course I'm trying to get a hold of them...
