Sick animals are the worst thing ever. Our cat has a collapsed lung and if he frequently doubles over in a fit of wheezing and gasping if he exerts himself too much.

Edit: Funny thing about Iggy that never ceases to crack me up. He barks at a lot of stuff...but he really gets going when it's a shadow. We had the fireplace on last night and he was just running around barking at the shadows it cast. Especially when it was one of ours. I couldn't stop laughing.

It's been a few years now but we lost two cats within three months of each other. The first one's kidneys failed so we had to put him to sleep, the second one refused to eat or drink anything until we finally had him put to sleep because he was slowly and painfully dying. This wasn't some Where the Red Fern Grows thing where he was depressed about the other one dying, he was sick but the vet didn't know why and gave us some antibiotic to try that didn't work. He was a stray that had been coming around that we brought into the house six months earlier so he wasn't with us long

In sick dog chat, my gfs dog spent the night at the emergency vet and just got put on anesthesia because last night she randomly started throwing up and her back legs stopped working. They're running tests on her now and doing a spinal tap. They gave us a laundry list of things they think it could be but won't know anything until after the tests. She's afraid she won't have the use of her back legs and all I can think about is super scooty:

Dogs are cool. If I had a more stable life I would get a doggo or pupper of my own. But until then I’ll just live through all of you.

The biggest benefit of remote work is I never have to leave my doggy. My 10 minute breaks are soooo relaxing when I can just cuddle my lil doge

I work remotely too, my old lady dog needs to be in the same room as me. When I'm working, she cries until I let her in the office then just finds a place to take a nap. She doesn't need constant attention or pets or anything, just to be in the same room as me at all times when I'm at home

I watched our on-site HR person attempt to steal someone's lunch the other day, and they only stopped because they didn't like what was in the lunch.

We got a company wide email from a very angry person who had his lunch stolen multiple times and it turned out to be a lady in HR. (another person caught her microwaving up their lunch). All HR people are sociopaths and scoundrels.

Maybe it's because I've only worked in smaller offices (even though I've worked for huge companies) but I've never experienced the stolen lunch thing and it fascinates me

The HR lady at my last job absolutely hated me after I told her how lovely the travel policy was and how it actually cost the company money and made the employees less happy. It caused a big stink with my whole department, her, and the COO. So I decided to start going out with her intern

piss tape israel posted:It seems like crazy people always work in HR My girlfriend works in HR, and from her stories this is absolutely correct. HR is where all the older white women work, most of which are divorced, crazy cat / dog / bird ladies. Last time I talked to my HR person, I casually mentioned one of my coworkers got married over the weekend, and she responded with "I loved all of my ex husbands." How the hell do you respond to that?

I actually liked the HR at my last job even though the head of HR was super-awkward. It also doesn't help that the HR rep assigned to my site at my current job is the same one who conducted my hiring process, including the salary negotiation that I punted super-hard because I was broke as gently caress and just needed a job anywhere.

There's a really interesting dynamic in offshore oil companies where instead of old decrepit jack-ups, the new ultra Deepwater rigs are essentially small cruise ships with a drilling derrick stuck on top. So now oil company good ol boys are having to mingle with merchant mariners hired to keep the boat steady while they drill baby drill and as a large portion of merchant mariners are female it's no shock that it's more than just the well that's being drilled HR had to send a strongly worded email to stop banging your shipmates like loving summer camp lmao

I have a theory called the Becky Principle, wherein if you're trying to change a process at work and the process is owned by a middle aged white woman, don't try. Their lives are so out of control outside of work, so they will protect the one thing they can control, no matter how good or bad it is for the company.

Though, you'd have to be touched in the head to earn real money and steal people's lunches. I could understand that coming up more in a retail situation because I knew so many people even 15+ years ago who were in dire financial situations doing those jobs, and it has to be so much worse now.

To be fair, the VP of HR at my current company is great. On my second day she came down to check on me at around 2PM. My boss was out with a sick kid and I told her I didn't have much going on outside of HR-related reading. Without skipping a beat she tells me "Eh, you can go home if you want to. You're salaried anyway." I ended up staying till 5, but that one conversation set the stage for how things have gone for nearly two years. She might have been trying to test me for all I know, but I still love it here

The last job I worked didn't have any sort of HR. It was pretty great. If we did have HR, the entire company and most of the employees would have been sued for sexual harassment in about 5 minutes.Intruder posted:Maybe it's because I've only worked in smaller offices (even though I've worked for huge companies) but I've never experienced the stolen lunch thing and it fascinates me At my last job, a coworker told a story about a previous job he had. One of the workers there was tired of having his lunch stolen so one day he spiked his lunch with Tums or Alka-Seltzer or something related. He found out who was stealing his lunch when the thief starting foaming from the mouth.
