One of my contractors that I'm playing acting manager to did this.

His job mostly consists of entering data from spreadsheets into two systems. He is fine at that. If there's not enough of that to do, he can pull cases and work them, albeit at a speed and accuracy that wouldn't allow us to keep him if it was his only job.

He mentioned that his job can probably be done with an excel macro. We know this. My manager has even mentioned doing it. But nobody has the time, energy, or will to make it happen.

I pretty much told him that it was a great idea, and to never mention it again. I think he understood.

The stupid move is to implement the macro for him and not tell anyone on the condition he spends half of the saved time doing your TPS reports or whatever.

This was from a previous job, but:

I worked for a company that rented an office and had like 8 employees total with 2 of them being my boss' wife and his sister. We had a lot of clients but my responsibility was to just manage our biggest fish. For some reason we had this piece of poo poo QuickBooks windows 95 looking rear end program that I had to keep my time in, and in order to do so I had to import a database of every client. I was expected to accurately put down what I did each day in a quickbooks time reporting app even though my boss could see the changes I was making in git history and even implemented a page for the client to see these changes in our git log. Using this app as the shittiest thing on the planet and I eventually just wrote an autohotkey script to run at 5pm to remind me to make a new entry, as well as one that ran every friday that automated the process of exporting the week and mailing it to my boss' wife (this part was bullshit). We weren't keeping a super tight report on time but I'd typically show up 9am and leave at 5pm and have lunch at my desk. At some point a hair got up somebody's rear end about keeping time super accurately, but I suspect because a new coworker started punching out and in for his lunch breaks people got greedy. I got the talking to about time theft and not showing up at the right time. I noticed my hours started getting tweaked when my paystubs rolled through.

Our big fish client had been making more money than ever and by extension so had we but my boss' wife had so little to do that she started micromanaging people's timesheets when she wasn't pitching ideas that would have been cutting edge in '83 like a lovely virtual avatar / narrated helper for websites or playing dress-up with gremlin-looking creatures in DAZ 3D. I thought "whatever, i'll just punch in with the software's stopwatch feature" but within a week of this I was getting yelled at for making it harder to do the accounting because the Quickbooks software bullshit this was importing into wouldn't allow her to round it to the nearest 15 minute she'd have to adjust it all by hand. At this point I'm thinking "isn't it a bit expensive for me to be doing this? whatever" and I started using a geofencing software to track the time that I spent near my job, so when my script prompting me to punch the time in eventually ran, I could just bang in the numbers. Once again, I'm yelled at for tracking things down to the minute (and proving that on average I spend more than my 40 hours on-site) and I'm still having my paystubs bumped down to 40 or in some wild cases under 40 hours if bosswife was feeling like she hadn't seen me enough and that I must be lying. I was even got a call from my boss on the weekend about how I put in that I shown up at a certain time, but his wife recorded that I actually shown up at a different time. I had no recollection of particulars so in my frustration I just said "if you know what time I come in and leave at so drat well then why do you have me logging it, just loving put it in yourself" and I got a "hmm well uh" in response before I hung up.

At this point I feel like any other goon would have done something about this but instead I just kept showing up, but with a geofencing software installed on my phone so I could know precisely when I arrived on site. In order to oblige with the 15 minute window I started rounding my arrivals down to the nearest quarter of an hour, and my departures up to the nearest quarter of an hour. If I'm going to be accused of stealing time I may as well be doing something that could remotely be construed as such. This goes on for a few weeks when once again a week I worked 42 hours has my times shaved down to 40 hours. I know for drat certain that the amount of time that I rounded that week was less than 13 minutes total, tops. I brought this up to my boss and the best he could do was offer a befuddled "huh weird uh hey honey do you know anything about this?".

Eventually it didn't matter because my coworker kept showing up sick and making me sick, which would in turn result in me going home and my wife getting sick, if my boss didn't let his adopted kids into the office to cough on things when they got pulled out of school for being sick. It got to the point where I stopped showing up for weeks at a time and didn't get any work done in those periods because he didn't believe in remote work where he couldn't look over someone's shoulder despite us having done it in the past for hurricanes and such. The reason this was such a big deal to me was because my wife had recently gotten bowled over by a case of pneumonia when we had to fly to see her mother in the hospital, and since I was the only one with a cellphone, if she had an asthma attack complicated by these extremely preventable illnesses my coworker kept sharing I might come home and find her dead or some poo poo. I told him that I can't keep sharing an office with the only person that routinely gets sick and my boss just said to "settle it amongst ourselves". Then the pandemic happened and everyone in the office was acting like it was fake and not real. I quit via absence. The kicker? Despite my last week being a full 40 hours they docked time from it anyway and in the termination letter they spelled my name wrong and dated it for the year 2009 because it was obviously written by my boss' coked-out wife.

I don't know if there's a lesson to gleam from this but in general the people that are the worst to work with are the people that are most particular about keeping track of your time despite how long you've been working for them or your experience as a whole.

If you're going to take it upon yourselves to be educators, then you must also be as flexible as educators are and understand that each person learns differently and some people need hands-on guidance. That doesn't make them stupid, it makes them human.

It also helps if you don't view the people you're teaching as scum.

What if I'm the educator and I view the IT people as scum?

If there is a lawyer in Florida that is willing to orbital strike them for the sport of it with records I could volunteer I'd gladly do so just to set them back, but I don't think the payout would be worthwhile for the resources spent in the end IMO.

I forgot to mention that I didn't even get to forget about these fuckers cleanly because when I was doing background checks for a new job after moving out of state, and one background check company refused to contact this employer directly because they were approached by the background check company in the past and failed to maintain whatever automated personnel verification software on the lovely server in their janitor closet / never updated it with my existence, so it cost me a job opportunity because it looked like I'd just lied about two years of my employment.

This isn't even the worst, most sloppily-run place I've worked sadly. I'm actually the most upset because it went from being a chill place I didn't mind working at even if I wasn't making the most for my time as I could be at more stressful places, until it just suddenly decided to become a stressful place to work for no reason. Aside from the management being a burden I was repeatedly cleaning up after a very old coworker that got hired on halfway through my employment and seemingly never learned from any pair programming or code review session ever but I'd be the one on the other end of a 20 questions game if a deploy went wrong.

I work for a small freight railroad. Many of the larger railroads have been setting deadlines for their employees to get the vax or get fired. My railroad hasn't... yet. In the meantime, we've had roughly a dozen or so employees have to take off work over the last three months because they've come down with the 'rona. Ever since the vaccine came out, lots of the engineers and conductors have been threatening to quit before they get the vaccine. In the meantime, I've been making decent money because of these people who have to take time off - lots of it unpaid because they don't have any PTO available this late in the year - because I'm a spare conductor that just fills vacancies. I'm waiting for that hammer to fall and can't wait to see who is going to tuck their tails and get the shot. If nothing else, the bump in seniority will be nice.

permanoob: Sep 28, 2004; Yeah it's a lot like that.

In 2019 I was at this startup. The company had been around for 8 years, I had been there for one. A co-worker/friend and I were out of town in Atlanta and got a last minute all hands meeting invite, required to be there in person. I made some calls and they postponed it until the day my friend and I came back. We get back to work and all our remote and on-site peeps are there. C-level explains how things aren't going so well with the product (mind you, this is after they laid off 1/3 of their dev team and hired 5 more sales people) and they wouldn't be able to keep going with current staff. The CEO concluded saying "In a few minutes, some of you will be getting an email instructing you to go the WeWork conference room we have across the street. The rest of you stay and speak with HR." and he got up and walked out with the other 3 C-staff.

This all happened in about 5 minutes. We sat and looked at each other, like what the gently caress. Then some peoples' phones started blooping with email notifications and they silently shuffled out of the building. The rest of us stayed and got fired, about 60% of the staff.

Is this guy from Kalgoorlie? Beefy red-faced fuckwit, maybe in his 30s? A few years ago in Calgary I nearly got ~~into a bar fight~~ beaten up by some idiot Australian who was so upset with the notion that he might be somewhat distantly related to Australian Traditional Owners and Africans and the rest of humanity he wanted to punch my lights out. White as sheet but absolutely adamant he was Australian and his family had always been Australian. Up until that point, I'd never heard 'I'm not related to no loving monkeys' in the wild.

The size of the client they had is unwarranted for the amount of headassery on display there. They just got ahead of the game for being at the right place and the right time when everyone else in that industry is still reaping what they've sown with glacially paced outsourced firms.

If there is a lawyer in Florida that is willing to orbital strike them for the sport of it with records I could volunteer I'd gladly do so just to set them back, but I don't think the payout would be worthwhile for the resources spent in the end IMO.

I forgot to mention that I didn't even get to forget about these fuckers cleanly because when I was doing background checks for a new job after moving out of state, and one background check company refused to contact this employer directly because they were approached by the background check company in the past and failed to maintain whatever automated personnel verification software on the lovely server in their janitor closet / never updated it with my existence, so it cost me a job opportunity because it looked like I'd just lied about two years of my employment.

This isn't even the worst, most sloppily-run place I've worked sadly. I'm actually the most upset because it went from being a chill place I didn't mind working at even if I wasn't making the most for my time as I could be at more stressful places, until it just suddenly decided to become a stressful place to work for no reason. Aside from the management being a burden I was repeatedly cleaning up after a very old coworker that got hired on halfway through my employment and seemingly never learned from any pair programming or code review session ever but I'd be the one on the other end of a 20 questions game if a deploy went wrong.

Lol. Jesus. These loving people. I stopped going to to a bar near my place because of the Trump lovin' Australian who bragged to me about not being vaccinated last time I saw him.

If I see him he's a dead man. I will fight any grown adult in Japan whose part of the remaining 10%.

Seriously. Even a lot of red states have laws that go apeshit about time fraud. One of the few protections a person has.

worked for 2 years doing child care and didn't get paid for it because the person who employed me kept saying "yeah i called and left them a message" and then being told later on by them that they were waiting on my papers in another place to be processed, and then saying those papers were wrong or some poo poo and needing me to do them again, and repeating in an endless loop.

I work for a small freight railroad. Many of the larger railroads have been setting deadlines for their employees to get the vax or get fired. My railroad hasn't... yet. In the meantime, we've had roughly a dozen or so employees have to take off work over the last three months because they've come down with the 'rona. Ever since the vaccine came out, lots of the engineers and conductors have been threatening to quit before they get the vaccine. In the meantime, I've been making decent money because of these people who have to take time off - lots of it unpaid because they don't have any PTO available this late in the year - because I'm a spare conductor that just fills vacancies. I'm waiting for that hammer to fall and can't wait to see who is going to tuck their tails and get the shot. If nothing else, the bump in seniority will be nice.

The hammer finally dropped yesterday morning. We have until January 4 to be vaxxed because the legal department interpreted all of us as federal contractors because we move military equipment trains occasionally! Their workaround is that after January 4, everyone who isn't vaccinated is getting a weekly nasal swab test, administered on site.

Everyone who is vaccinated before then gets a $1500 bonus. Hell yeah.
