A billion dollars and it flows through a few people? Even if it’s just revenue, that’s nuts. What if someone quit or got hit by a bus? And being managed by a person who will rotate out in a year or two? Are you in automotive, financial, oil/Chemical? Edit: what commodity? Also, had most productive email of the week yesterday. Suggested that during inventory people drive around with trash cans. Genuinely excited about it next year. Bonus is that the managers driving around will have trash next to them all day while I sweat in the sun, and they’ll be incentivized to actually empty their bins.

So we're hiring for our department, and we are fully remote. We were fully remote prior to the pandemic and there isn't going to be a change. And this appears in the job advertisement. The job advertisement only appears on the company website. We're in a niche industry. And the position has a travel requirement. My boss has gotten hundreds of applicants for the position. And my boss is bitching about the majority of them being overqualified. I am sure, none of this is a shock to people in this thread. Just confirming the demand remote work is loving high.

I got the feeling lots of megacorps were absolutely rearing to get virtually everyone back in the office ASAP, and this slowed them down and gave them pause. Whether that hesitancy will last is unlikely but I am pessimistic.

Every year where in-office work isn't the norm is another year where remote work is the norm. And frankly, I don't think we're going to back to 'normal' before March 2022 - are we really going to go back into the office after 2 years of remote work? At what points does corporate inertia go the other way?

Whether that hesitancy will last is unlikely but I am pessimistic. Since bringing everybody back in fully on the 15th, there has been at least one positive test notification coming out per day. Nothing from HR or management about letting some people go back to WFH or even a new mask mandate. Still the same "if you send HR a copy of your vax card then you don't need to wear a mask on campus." Granted our county is up over 80% vaccinated so I don't think there's going to be some mega explosion barring a new variant, but I am wondering how long they can just keep pretending everything is fine and everybody can be back in at pre-pandemic levels.

I hope for the same, but we're HQ'd in TX so there's precisely zero chance of it happening. I think the company would actually want to, but the shithead governor and assorted shithead legislators would throw such a gigantic fit that it's just easier to keep us WFH. But man would it be satisfying.

Just yesterday I asked to switch a meeting to zoom since I didn’t want to drive 45 mins to the office for it. The guy agreed because it was his only meeting for the day as well. He lives a few neighborhoods over from me. Before COVID times we both would’ve spent an hour and a half of our lives sitting in traffic to be in person for a meeting that took 30 mins with small talk.

So basically anyone who doesn't want to get vaccinated can say "religious beliefs!" and they don't have to. Cool.

So I guess I’m stuck working at the company that demoted me for shady reasons. I hope this isn’t industry wide, but I was about to give my notice at my job when my credit check came back at the job I had signed the letter for and they noted the bankruptcy, jerked me around for a week, and rescinded the offer.

The credit reporting industry is so monumentally evil… I’m angry every time I need to interact with those creepy assholes. The worst part is that I can’t choose to not do business with them. A centralized accounting of my banking / credit habits makes sense to have. But it should be managed by the government, with legal limits for access and a right to contest information. But that would require the government to govern, which is apparently not ok.

Howsabout instead of that we have four private agencies and the only accountability they have is that if they gently caress up and say give out several hundred millions of people's information in a breach, they get to sell them services to prevent them from getting their identity stolen as a result of those sorts of breaches and make a shitload more money?

Four? Just off the top of my head there’s Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, ChexSystems, LexisNexis, Thompson Reuters, Acxiom, CoreLogic, and I know I’m forgetting a few of the biggest players. You’re also missing one of the other important pieces: correcting bad info. I knew someone who had his wallet stolen, and the cops picked up the thief not long afterwards for selling meth. My friend’s info was put in at booking, because the cops were lazy and had a card with somebody’s name on it. Correcting it with the courts actually wasn’t too bad, but the dude still has employment problems years later, because a bunch of completely unaccountable private background check databases picked up the initial arrest and lol if you think they care about corrections.

TransUnion straight up labeled a bunch of random citizens as terrorists on their credit reports because they shared names with people actually on watch lists and TransUnion just never bothered to do checks to determine if they were actually the same people or not:TransUnion LLC vs Ramirez posted:Beginning in 2002, TransUnion introduced an add-on product called OFAC Name Screen Alert. OFAC is the U. S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. OFAC maintains a list of “specially designated nationals” who threaten America’s national security. Individuals on the OFAC list are terrorists, drug traffickers, or other serious criminals. It is generally unlawful to transact business with any person on the list.

It would be so boss if someone brought a hat and seer stones and proceeded to read out loud that they are exempt. Unrelated: We are hiring. While corporate HQ is in the bay area, this position would be in SoCal. A very qualified candidate (who has zero interest in moving to SoCal) was told by a recruiter that "Yes, this position would be in the bay area" so they scheduled a phone interview. Literally in the first minute of the phone interview, we realize that the recruiter screwed up by advertising this as a bay area job, so I apologize to the candidate and offer to just end the interview then and there. My boss, also on the call, says to just proceed with the interview and then tries to convince the guy to move to SoCal. He (boss) literally cannot handle being told "No" very well. One of these days I will have to explain that a worker who on a perfectly good day has to be convinced to come work for us will likely crumble during the first crisis (of which we have many).

A woman I know who was so racist she had to leave her job to avoid getting fired over it is now working in HR at a major university. I'd be more upset about it, but its a southern university so its not like getting rid of her would change a drat thing.

FogHelmut posted:Lol, boomers will never retire or die. I would have agreed with this pre-COVID but I think it's changed now. We've already had a bunch of people retire once they got vaxxed and the mask mandates got dropped. They were just waiting for life to get close enough to normal, what's the point of retiring if you can't do anything? The next wave is going to be when they ask people to come back to the office - I've been told by enough people personally this is their plan to believe it. After that, you've got the group who was planning to maybe retire in a few years, they probably would have been the people to keep working until 65 but now their 401k is fat and they've stared death in the face and they're ready to stop spending their time working - enough people have also told me this unprompted that I buy it.
