Like I only know one native Korean, not all that well, she’s a woman from a country with gender roles a good 50 years behind the US (yes I know they have had a woman president), she’s spent roughly 50% of her life in the US, and she’s still pretty drat blunt by American standards, so maybe Aesis just comes across worse than he is due to cultural and language differences. Or maybe he is a rude passive-aggressive goon. I can’t tell. The other side of the coin is that if I went full "my cultural norms are how I am going to judge everyone", I would think that at least half the people in this thread are dangerous sociopaths who needed to be committed yesterday. --fake edit--  actually maybe I should do that

Judge Schnoopy posted:Please understand that this reads as "the company needs to spend a lot of time on complaints against me, so they're planning on letting me finish my project before they let me go. I heard about this so I'm playing stick in the mud and am refusing to do the work to defend my job. If you don't like it I'll talk to my lawyer." I’m not sure why I need to repeat myself that the company is trying to get rid of me unlawfully, and is breaching several labour laws in the process too. Another thing I’m pointing out again is that I’m working in Korea in a Korean company. I get that in the USA the labour laws are very lax (compared to Korea), but in Korea they aren’t once you become a full time worker who spent 2+ years in the same company. The laws were made due to mega corps doing these prior, and they abide by the laws now that the laws are in place.

As I understand it, you believe that they're trying to do a "constructive dismissal" - make your work environment so hostile that you quit. Yes? The question I have is who is "they"? The three people who filed possibly false sexual harassment complaints? The company itself? If the latter, why? Is it just because you've been there for two years and they want to cut you loose? If you're such an indispensable part of the team, the reasonable assumption is that they wouldn't boot you out for simply being there for a long time. So there's got to be some reason for you to be targeted like you believe you are being. And if you believe you are being targeted for a constructive dismissal, have you filed your own complaint with whatever governmental body handles that poo poo?

Can't speak for Korean work culture (though at least a few of the Koreans I worked with in Japan were rude about Japanese office culture in the same way that I was) but I've worked for Japanese, British, and American companies and all 3 work cultures have things that were normal that'd get you fired in the other two places, AND I'm aware of just how many Japanese companies break the employment laws there (where you have to sue the company to get them to stop breaking the law, but they won't fire you for suing them?) so nothing that Aesis has said has seemed even unlikely let alone beyond belief.

The new department head decided we were having a potluck lunch today and sent out invites to everyone last week. Every single one of us except her forgot to bring anything.

That's why I signed up to bring drinks. At least I can just zip out for five minutes to the supermarket down the street and grab something. I'm not a nice enough person to spend my free time cooking for my coworkers.

If you want to have food for your employees for team building, your company should expense it. Potluck is just pushing the bill to your employees and that is just sad. If your employees want to organize a potluck on their own, fine and good.

If you’ve ever worked in an office of a reasonable size then you should know there are always cliques who want to get people they don’t like fired or otherwise make their work lives miserable. I’ve worked for people like that before and it is absolutely hell, especially if you don’t have any other options.

I laughed out loud about a year ago during a call with my boss, his boss, and his bosses boss. The higher up said something about a future devops project and how great it was going to be, I was involved in testing, and I knew it was a mess and when he said it, I just make one big laugh noise. My incredibly cool boss just looked at me. After the meeting he pulled me back and just looked at me and basically said "come on man what was that". I almost leaped out a window.

Our CEO once said--during an all-staff meeting--"you know that movie Office Space, where they have the banner hanging up saying 'Is This Good for the Company?' That's what I want you to think about while you're going about your day," and one of my coworkers--who assumed he was joking--was the only one in the room to laugh out loud at it. I think it would be much better for us as a company if he had actually been joking.

The whole point of Office Space is to make fun, in a M*A*S*H kind of way, of tech companies and if you are referring to it unironically you are automatically a bad boss.

My company is having a “Office Space” themed day for customer service week next week. I asked my coworkers if that meant coming in 15 minutes late and getting 3 minutes of work done. ...in the slack channel that the supervisors are in rather than our designated griping group chat.

It’s an open secret that everyone is dissatisfied, I don’t care if they snoop to see the channel where literally all but one of the techs are talking about job hunting. It’s just more polite to make them look for it.

old school datacenter man posted:"In each of these case it involves creation of 10+ Jira tickets with complex dependencies for usage and generating tickets from a complex standpoint." What. How are you ok with a 10+ Jira ticket process for *checks notes and cries some more* building a manual VM in AWS. These loving people are going to give me a stroke. We already told them we're working on a unified pipeline with automation to define a single process for development to deploy their services but I'll be god damned if I don't find 6-8 more layers of weird architecture and process poo poo going on every day like this.

We have a couple of big big loaders who seem to have it timed for both 0800 and 1200 to blow up the single toilet with 45 people on our floor. A flight of stairs up it’s a 3 player head-to-head affair, but, no gently caress that they’ll just wreck the toilet sometimes requiring intervention right when everyone comes in or goes to lunch. I can see the DILLIGAF against the employer but this just is an assault on your fellow man.
