Had our operations manager say “they can suck my rear end in a top hat, in the most Christian way.” Nice that he mixes up his curses from time to time.

A director I worked a couple levels beneath was in the navy and had an absolutely astounding repertoire of curse word combinations and it was actually a bit of a treat when he really let loose. He usually did it in good humour too so it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular just for the show of it.

Kinda reminds me of my high school Physics teacher, who among many other quotable quotes used to say before tests, "Cheat if you must, but do it in the spirit of Christian love."

They may be legally not allowed to ask you your vaccination status depending on where you are. That's the case in california anyway.

My father in law is telling everyone on Facebook that he’s a tough guy who won’t get the vaccine. Anyway he got like like a month ago and asked his daughters not to tell anyone.

Plot twist! I spoke to an employment lawyer today who looked at my contract and advised that I was entitled to four weeks of paid notice, as my probation period was three months and I was fired after that. There is a six year time limit on when I can file a claim for that money with the industrial court so I'm going to sit quietly for now, use the reference my boss offered me to get another job, then once that's lined up send him a friendly reminder that he owes me money.

Why is it so large?!" Also extremely likely misclassification under the FLSA and a bunch of local laws. So for overtime and minimum wage calculations they'll be calculated like employees anyway...i.e. they get 1.5x for overtime and are entitled to minimum wage.

One line of my work sells goods extremely relevant to Mother’s Day. I ran the sales by hour on them yesterday and enjoyed the trends: -Initial rush from 7am-10am: “oh crap it’s Mother’s Day” -Level sales from 10am-12pm: “bruuuuunch” -Huge spike from 12pm-2pm: “oh poo poo oh gently caress it’s Mother’s Day”

Had an employee quit today on me. They were worried about how I’d react. “You’re leaving for a better work life balance? Sad to see you go but happy for you.” Meanwhile in my head: fuuuuuck take me with you

Contract Employee today: "Hey, would it be possible for me to get (date) off? I have to go to court for (personal family reasons I didn't need to know)." Me: "There is no circumstance on god's green earth I would ever tell you no for that. You didn't have to tell me any of that. I'm going to forget you told me anything, and you should just write it down as 'personal' and take the time off." Contract Employee: "I told you because (contract company) manager said no, it wasn't their problem that I have a court date, and that they weren't going to approve the time off without you signing off on it," So now I'm scheduling a phone call with his contract-manager to tell the guy to shove that high horse up his rear end. Happy Monday or something.

"hello Powerful Two-Hander's reportee, we know there are some resource problems but as the support team we are handling 80% of support requests and we need a plan to be able to escalate them to you please advise." Hmm where to start. The "resource problems" are that all of our onshore devs left so we have zero devs, and as the support team, a complaint of "we are handling too much support and can't be bothered to do it" isn't really going to fly. Nice "copy the person's manager" attempt though, unfortunately for you I am a terrible manager in all respects bar one: I know that the guy you're getting at is really good and if there is a genuine problem he'd have fixed it.

Dik Hz posted:I had an employee that thought that my likelihood of approving sick leave depended on how graphically he could describe the symptoms he was experiencing. I have never denied sick leave. I wonder if he was just a dumbass or if he had a previous employer who was like that. One of my ex-bosses at PFE would sometimes show up at people's home addresses to check if they were home on days they'd called in sick, so it's possible he had that kind of problem before, maybe? I'm with you re: never deny sick leave, and I've tried to be super clear to my workers about that kind of thing. Your leave is your leave. I appreciate you asking for the days off, and if it's vacation time, the only time I'd even consider denying it is if we literally are manufacturing an GMP campaign during those days and you didn't give me enough time to find a backup. Even then, I'll try not to if I can avoid it.  I'm guessing that it's just what people are used to.

The funny thing is that the manager is so outraged at the employee being Not At Work, yet he himself has apparently nothing better to do with his workday than spy on his underling.

Leave your own employee out of the meeting. Bury them in useless calendar events and make them regret ever suggesting this.

A report of mine teams msged me he was sick today and filled it in on workday and tbh I didn’t even realize we were supposed to fill in sick days on workday  It makes obvious sense when I think about it but I just never did before.

We gotta do regular time but it is always just autofill from previous week unless we are on a new project now but that usually goes for 2-3 years without having to change. Also booking vacation. For sick days my manager was always just “oh ok feel better” with no mention of putting it in workday - we don’t track sick days that closely here.
