Hey, EFN, you go right ahead and blow off as much steam as you need to. I don't think it's un-BYOB to vent your spleen in the thread for complaining about work, if it helps you deal with stuff. |

Speaking of work, I'm tired of it. It the past, I would start looking at switching jobs now, but I like my current salary and benefits, and I don't think I'd enjoy working somewhere else more. It's working itself i dislike right now. Currently researching becoming independently wealthy, which seems like it would solve a lot. |

I've applied for a new position in my company that's basically doing the same thing I do now, but pays quite a bit more and will remain 100% virtual. I suck at interviews, but really hoping I can get it as it would allow me to move somewhere I don't hate. |

My CV looks beautiful and it's very crisp and well formatted and perfectly grammatically correct, unlike my internet speech. I sent it off to several places that are, somehow, supposedly less bullshit than my current place. I am exhausted by the micromanagement and stupid, bad decisions that end up costing us so much money that it negates everything I bring in for the company. Here's to new job season. |

Old job wants me back. Called the housing agency I used last time and told them I'd be moving in three months, they said to come in in August then, so I'm going to be only giving two months notice looks like. I'm going to turn in my resignation letter tomorrow. I'm done. |

Why do brewery owners always want to make alcohol free beer? That's a ton of extra equipment. You need like special filters and centrifuges and poo poo.

It's annoying that moving our invoice process to nearly entirely online has significantly increased my workload and now it takes longer to get everything done. Not so much complaining about work - the people here are very supportive and most of them have training in dealing with just this sort of thing which is super helpful right now - but more complaining about having to fill out paperwork, which always sucks. Boo! Down with form-filling! I have to fill out incident reports about the attack on Friday and also I then have to have meetings with people and everyone is being/has been kind and supportive but I'm still in a bit of distress over it all and really want to go home.

Where does calling you up to tell you how he's not like the other managers you might have had in the past and reminding you of all the favours he's done for you over the years, like hiring you, and paying you, fall? Oh yeah, you definitely aren't like any of the other managers I've had in the past, that's for sure! Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jun 15, 2021 |

It sounds like he had assembled a team that could actually brew beer, but he was more interested in playing angry boss, and so his business is going to fail. So, yes, a jerk is going to get what they deserve, and that's funny. |

cruft posted:Same. Not just the angry boss thing the weird micromanaging boss thing. We had a meeting yesterday and a lot was about what I was going to do now that my collarbone was healed. All it was was him being like "I want you to make an alcohol free beer! And a clear beer! And a beer with bread!" so basically just being a robot to make whatever he wants. As a brewer I don't mind doing what the boss wants. I get it. It's not my brewery, but that level of just always being told what to do with random poo poo is really annoying after a while. Then he said that he was going to have the other brewer start working in the kitchen now and I'm taking over (?) despite the dude being here three years and taking over after the last head brewer quit on the owner for him being a dick. Before Saturday I was thinking I could power through this job for a bit more. I'm still getting paid by my last job, and I've come to enjoy life in this city. I was never going to stay long term, but maybe try to make it to over half a year, maybe even to a full year. There were little signs of progress. I knew it'd be frustrating and slow, because I have to explain and re-explain everything, but Saturday loving killed that dead. I realized too that, while he hadn't blown up at me like that until Saturday, there were a lot of I guess you'd say microagressions (sorry if that's inappropriate and pertains only to bigotry) where he'd talk/sorta bark at me in this really demanding tone. He'd be really condescending about some things. It was a pain in the rear end but I guess I could have toughed that out, but I know better than to do that. That job I had where the owner tried to get me in trouble with immigration/get other breweries not to hire me had a very similar meltdown over someone accidentally delivering a partially filled keg. Long story short, a few days after it happened and we'd fixed the issue with the client no problem, he had a "meeting" and went around the room and screamed at everyone individually "DO YOU STILL WANT TO WORK HERE?!" One of my coworkers at the time quit on the spot the other said they were maybe going to leave. I wanted to say "no" but was unsure of what that would mean for my future and said yes through gritted teeth. He lost two employees and looked like he was going to poo poo his pants. I stayed on though. Arguably it was better for my career, but that day I realized that this wasn't a job with a long future, and boy was I right. Slowly but surely he started acting like a psycho again so I quit. I'm not waiting around for that poo poo to happen again since I have an easy out this time.

Today at work I dug up the remains of a baby that died 66 years ago, in order to send them to some cemetery in Kentucky. There was really nothing in the grave after so long, except for some flakes of what might have been bone or shell or rock and a tiny shred of cloth. The casket had disentegrated too. Can't say I've ever done that at a job before. Upside: I got to do it alongside a cute goth funeral director girl |

One time, when my endocrinologist couldn't figure out what the hell was going on with my lymph nodes, I had to go get an AIDS test. I walked in to the testing clinic and like 8 people were in the lobby, shooting the poo poo and having a decent time with their co-workers, and then instantly everybody got up and politely left the lobby. It was weird, but I totally understood why that was standard routine there: like, people are coming in to find out if they're going to die young. I imagine your line of work must be sort of similar? I didn't have AIDS, incidentally, I was just allergic to my earrings

Hooray! Can you wear earrings made of different metal now or is it just too funky for your body? The cemetery office is 100% a den of perversion and fart jokes when there are no strangers inside. |
