Daily reminder that HR is not your friend and should not be trusted.

How exactly does one “try” to steal a lunch? Did they get busted, chicken out? We need details on this.

Cant spell “how come we can’t use indentured servants?” without HR.

My employer provides lunch to all of its employees (one of the few genuinely good things about working here), and for the secondary site where I work this involves boxing up a couple hundred lunches at the main site half an hour away and driving them over here before lunch. There's about a dozen people on the floor where I work (including HR person) so we take turns picking up lunches for the whole floor during the week. Today was my turn and I asked everyone here if they wanted a lunch, and HR said no. I pick up exactly how many I need for my floor and bring them back. Later I'm eating lunch and HR walks in and is about to grab one, which means someone who did request a lunch would get shafted, except she looked at it and realized she didn't actually want to eat it.

This wouldn't be a big deal except I usually eat lunch fairly late, and half the time I request a lunch there isn't one waiting for me and I have to go get it myself even though I said "hey please get me one". I used to think whoever was picking them up was just dumb but now I'm wondering if this rear end in a top hat is stealing mine (and others'!) on the semi-reg.

So I was screwing around on Shodan for lunch trying to build better searches and randomly decided to do a search for Port 8999 in my area. Found a computer running it near my building (which is the only building nearby), running on my ISP, with the same broadcast IP as I have. Being that there were only a handful of people in the office at that time (and it is doubtful that any of them knew would know what a bitcoin is), I looked around the vacant offices to see if someone was being bold. Once our IT guy got back I showed him what I found and he opened the telco closet (which ofcourse is the backup storage closet). We spent a while tracing cables, then in one the drop ceiling we found an old company laptop running the miner.

I thought it was hilarious, the IT guy did not think it was funny. He accused me of hacking and claimed that I set it up so I could steal from the company. I called my boss about it, he laughed and figured it was one of the IT guys they fired over a year ago. But then HR just contacted me about stealing from the company. So now I get the honor of explaining cybersecurity to my HR department.

Its tough deciding on how best to misrepresent the truth to your boss.

Boss asked my coworker if we could simulate some industrial process. Maybe if we had comsol and TEAMS of men, few hundred million bucks a couple years. Maybe.

Realistic option to talk about acquiring a 1-300 million dollar firm, but raises above 3%? Thats crazy talk.

Had a lengthy discussion with my boss and my HR rep about this last night (both of which are based out of a different office and are fairly tech savvy). My boss thinks it is the funniest thing I have done in the decade we have known each other. My HR guy said he was going to put me in for the quarterly "good employee" award or whatever it is called. I told my boss I had to meet with local HR at 0900 so he cleared his schedule for that time.

My meeting with local HR was very dark. He got out his fire and brimstone and barked threats at me about how much trouble I was in. He threatened my job multiple times for stealing from the company. After a few minutes of this, he finally asked "what would your boss think about this devious behavior?" So I pulled out my work phone, dialed the boss, and put it on speaker phone. I gave the introductions and the HR rep goes into a song and dance. My boss stops him and asks him if he understands how a network works, breaks down the issues with his argument, then demanded an apology for wasting his time, and told me to go back to work.

I would have left this company a while ago if I had any other manager.

I'd still run for the hills anyway. You pointed out both a security risk and theft of company resources and you're getting poo poo for it from both IT and HR. Your boss is great, of course, but gently caress a company that starts threatening your job before they actually understand what happened.

My boss' dog is the dumbest creature alive. I've tried petting him and treating him like a normal dog, but he shows no interest or affection (and if he does he's overstimulated almost instantly and starts humping your leg). All he cares about is food, to the point of extreme anxiousness. He'll whine CONSTANTLY if he's hungry, and often I'm his first target, even though I never give him anything ever. I'm usually very friendly with dogs but I'm just completely disinterested in him.

Yet my boss fawns over him like a baby... I don't get it.

My boss's dog is like this, she's the least affectionate dog I have ever met in my life, only approaching if she thinks you have food and actively shying away from pets if she finds out you don't. She's also 15 years old so I'm really not that surprised.

Office dogs are generally great though, petting them is a great way to actively combat workplace stress.
