Oh, it's just great being a young female in retail-type situations, yes indeed! Especially back in the Long Ago when we were just expected to tolerate (with a smile!) the sexual harassment and generally demeaning attitudes from customers and coworkers!
This short rant brought to you by all the women in the 1980s who started filing law suits.

Not that this is a thing of the past, just that now we (mostly) have ways to fight back.

One of the side benefits of working from home that isn't often mentioned is being able to have an omelette for lunch.

My boss has made me run an email by him eight times so far today. An email I should not be sending because the prospect is already buying from another vendor, one much bigger than us, and they're buying a house brand from that vendor.
I'm not going to do this much longer.

Like I literally do not know how to deal anymore.
I know you're situation is worse than mine is at the moment, but I really feel you on this. Just having an owner tell you how to do something, even if you tell them it's the wrong way, with evidence, they just keep harping on it with more details. It's incredibly wearing.

The person who is only in the office for two days a week - and not full days, either - does not get to dictate how things are done right now. We do things this way because we have had multiple conversations around being short-staffed and also people moving offices and also all the Covid work being done and you were not part of any of those conversations because you work from home, so just sit the gently caress down and shut the gently caress up god drat.

Boss just sent me a four page document to translate. It's like some description of a company in Australia that sells Japanese foods and other things? The format is weird and uses a lot of jargon I barely understand in English. Not sure what he wants from me.

Should ask in the GBS Aussie thread, sure they can translate their jargon into proper English.
It's not Australian jargon. Just standard business jargon about sales and stuff

I recommend you make up translation and then do what everyone has always done to me when translating something from Japanese: launch into a 5 minute lesson about 800 years of history in order on explain the cultural context of a single word.

I can't really translate something I don't understand. It's like a whole page with links copied as well. Does he want that translated as well? Also my Japanese isn't that good. I dunno. It's just dumb and frustrating.

Owner is trying to push back on the fermentation schedule changes based on not understanding basic fermentation things. Going to try and head this off next meeting by explaining some things again, if I can't I really think I may quit and go back to my old company. I'm starting to think sitting around at home doing nothing would be better than this.

+ switching to a compressed work week
- 6am start time
- double the workload
That last one is a doozy, but I know how my director operates. Prove things are unmanageable at current staffing, ie force failure, in order to justify increased staffing. It sucks being in the set up to fail group though.
On the plus side though, compressed work week opens up the opportunity of being able to move somewhere cheaper and more pleasant and just renting a room or cheap studio near work and commuting in for my shift.

Today we are having a meeting and Ive asked for time to make a quick presentation on a subject that is industry standard and considered a universal truth within the industry. The only person I need to convince of this is the owner. If this doesn't work I give up.
Also going to try and convince him to stop bottling from kegs and switch to sanke kegs because I am a masochist.

Made a fairly lovely off the cuff presentation about why we really need to increase fermentation times and go by measurements and sensory analysis instead of just times. Boss seemed to get it and said we will correct it. That's good, but I don't know if it'll stick. Coworker who's been here three years says he'll agree to changes and walk them back a few months later bases on some perceived issue. I've also experienced this a few times. I'm sticking around for now, but I'm leaving if he goes back to shortened fermentation times if my last place hasn't gotten their license by then. It's just so critical and basic. If I can't fix that issue actual, real improvement of the product and brand are impossible and no other improvements I make will matter.

Just checked my work schedule really quick to see if the restaurant would be open tomorrow to see whether or not bringing my own lunch would make sense. Pretty sure my schedule got changed again. This constantly shifting schedule makes zero sense for a brewery and I would argue actually makes things way more complicated.
My coworker is going to be putting in his notice either next month or the month after. I'm considering doing the same even if my last company doesn't have their license by then. I don't think I could do this poo poo without him. I got a bit of a break from it rehabbing my collarbone, but now that I'm back on a normal schedule that's just all over the place with lots of unpaid overtime...gently caress. I'm really leaning towards walking.

Forgot about another fun aspect of office work, the loving savages that piss on the seat. Bonus points for not flushing.
And drink some loving water dude, that's loving gross.

I mentioned getting fired in the chat thread due to not wanting to use my own car for dog walking work without gas reimbursement (or at all tbh). It's a pet supply store and they hired me on as a sales associate. Then about two months in they started training me to do dog-walking, as their business was picking up again after a pandemic lull. They said I would do it "occasionally", then this week they had me scheduled for dog walking all day M-F. Apparently I wasn't good at talking to customers (they only said anything about this after I was fired) so they decided to switch my job around without telling me or bringing up any issues with my work at all so I could, I don't know, try to improve?
