Update: boss was being cagey because he was in fact interviewing someone for (one of) my duties So as far as I can tell I'm not out particularly soon because he's not being shown any of the legacy crap or any of the reporting stuff I do but lmfao if you think I'm not applying elsewhere after people pull that stunt

Having gone from an hourly position where overtime was a daily thing to a salaried position where no one expects to work a minute over 40/week, gently caress overtime. I want to leave ASAP but it's honestly going to be tough giving up a position where a 40-hour workweek is the norm, not the exception. E: Then again I get to sit through a 90-minute meeting today for a workflow tracking system that my department will never be able to use because it's not secure to handle the information that my group needs, so it's not exactly sunshine and unicorn semen over here either.

Long shot, but does anyone know where I can find the specific requirements for reporting your supplier diversity to the SBA?

Recent layoffs and lots of other really dumb poo poo that make it hard to do my job well are making me search. But gently caress me, just about everything in this industry will be more than 40 hours. And more pay at least.

Arguably the most important thing I learned in grad school is that if your actual job makes you miserable but you love all of the trappings and trimmings around it, you should still leave because you will never be happy. I can work 40.000000 hours a week without getting called out, have a 10-15 minute commute each way, and get free lunch every day. But the work I do terribly boring and I don't think I've really learned anything valuable in the two years that I've been here so I gotta move on.

Just sucks because day to day I like my job well enough for your average corporate gig. It's really the layoff and the general direction of the company. The company wants to shift in one direction, but the key members who would lead that/I have to closely work with are comically incompetent. And the new hires they made in that department make it clear the the company isn't serious about hiring right candidates. basically, I am positive that my job would be safe. I just don't know what the hell the company expects to be doing in 2-3 years, because the moves don't align with the stated goals.

Dunno. In Ontario the brewery puts a plastic seal around it like you would with a juice container from the factory or whatever.

I just got yelled at for not having something reviewed, by the person who replied in an email a month ago "oh hey I will take care of the review for this". Also this person who both yelled at me and didn't do their loving job is my boss. Skipping the beer store tonight just going to the liquor store instead.

First you refuse to put up with being yelled at for any goddamn reason that isn't criminal behavior. THEN you shove the email into your boss's face. You can do both of these things in a calm, professional and direct manner, involving nobody else but you and your boss, thereby giving them the chance to back down without being publicly embarrassed.

Has anyone here had experience with Sapience Buddy being installed on their computer and what it entails, i.e. corporate surveillance, brutal weeding out of workers based on its results? This was installed recently for all employees at my place. I've read the creators of the software's take on it, which is, not surprisingly, that "Sapience is to help YOU set goals; it is not Big Brother, it is your friend!" When I review my productivity log, it is somewhat accurate but not perfect. It is often an hour off, and does not account for every scenario- such as leaving your desk to train or assist another worker. Perhaps the human worker is a complex entity and this type of software is bound to fall short. To me the software seems like arrogant silicon valley bullshit.

If people have any sense they take those outputs with a grain of salt. Tools like that are invaluable for finding out the bottlenecks in a process and for finding people who are just taking the piss, but if your organisation starts using it to track you within an inch of your life then run away.

At my last job we had a relatively promising candidate who was doing fine in interviews until he called my boss's boss "buddy" which got him nixed right there.
