so I work at home taking customer service calls now and at the end of day meeting (zoom meeting) one of the women on my team mentioned that a customer had asked her if she was working from home, and when she said yes, he said "oh I know, I've been watching you the whole time" and she sort of just laughed it off and continued the call as if he hadn't said that of course, this being the society it is, it seems like she felt obligated to just sort of "go with it" and just ignore it and finish the call and then later not make a big deal out of it, but bless em, our managers heard this and flipped their poo poo pulled the call, pulled the guy's info and from the context it sounded like they're gonna close this guy's account etc over it I can't get out of  mode because like,

Watching her through a fuckin remote viewer? What the hell??? I dislike humanity more every day.

Talked with my cousin today for like 2 hours and about the stuff she's going through looking for a job. She left her last job when it became apparent that the owner of the law firm she was working at at the time was laundering money for people. She told me some other stuff and it was like mind blowing. Her boss was one of those old people who insists on getting e-mails and stuff printed out, which is dumb but whatever. The guy would try to click any hyperlinks ON THE PHYSICAL PRINTED PIECES OF PAPER!!! He would sit there slamming his hand onto the hyperlink on the piece of paper and would start going loving crazy because it didn't do anything. At one point he was screaming about being a Roman god and demanding the link open. He did this all the time, apparently and my cousin would cut out any hyperlinks before printing because he would not and could not understand. I'm still thinking about this. That's absolutely insane. She also got a job offer where the people offering her the job are probably an MLM because they were talking about "downstreaming" and stuff. They also were trying to get her to sign a contract before she could see it. She asked for a copy so she could review it and they said that wouldn't be available until she signed. Also if she signed the employment contract and didn't take it she'd owe them money. The also wanted her to sign an NDA...for a sales position. They're texting her nonstop after she asked for some time to think about it and review the contracts and stuff. I guess they also yelled at her at one point because she "lied" about having a college degree (she has one but there was some issue with paperwork but she provided a letter and explanation from her college). She told me she was already thinking she wasn't going to take it but her parents are really pressuring her to take it. It looks like she has another much better job lined up, but here's to hoping. Talking to her about this I was impressed at how on it she was in spotting issues and things she did in order to get extra pay for extra work, etc. She's not a pushover, when I probably would have been at that age.

I think that's one of those things, like the elder gods, where your mind cannot rationalize that concept for fear of going insane. |

The data issues page for this particular contractor is an abottoir of xcheopis being absolutely DONE with their incompetence and so all the notes are in red, bold, and 14pt font. I'm so pissed off about this; we've told them over and over and over to just. follow. the. given. instructions. gently caress. Every loving month! It took me screaming for over two years that $99,999.00 is a wildly inaccurate monthly income for a homeless person (insert "Cost of Living in the SF Bay Area" joke here) and it has just now been fixed. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |

Ah the joys of sitting in on a conference call just to listen to my coworker who actually understands this nonsense explain everything to the client. My entire role here is to make encouraging noises and passively assert my authority and support as her nominal supervisor. Accounting is rough, y'all. |

Oh hi work thread. I just got off a conversation with a significant percentage of our financial department, and the client (a Very Large Institution with an annual budget in excess of $5 billion) who pays us to do work, during which everybody tried to explain to the financial office how dumb an idea it was to amortize invoicing the client for an annual software license we've already paid in full. During the call, the client pointed out that we've decided to become a bank. This was a poignant insight. During the next call (the financial people were like, derp, pointing fingers at each other) I'm going to ask what our APR is for the line of credit we've extended to the Very Large Client against their will, and what our plan is for sending the Very Large Client to collections if they're unable to pay us on the ridiculous schedule we're insisting on. I wonder if we could hire Dog the Bounty Hunter to collect. |

The more she told me about her interactions with this company, the more I was like "RUN!". In her defense, I think she knew it was bad, but her parents have been pressuring her to take any jobs b she's offered, even this job specifically even after she'd explained all of the crazy poo poo they were pulling, so she felt a little pressured. Fortunately, she got a much better job offer. cruft posted:I appear to have rationalized this as the dude being a jerk, and this was some misguided attempt to drive home how angry he was that computers exist. Like, I asked for you to PRINT OUT THE INFORMATION, and clearly I can't click on this piece of paper. I will demonstrate this now, to drive home the point. Apparently, this guy's reaction to his printer running out of paper or ink was to flip out that it wasn't printing, leading to him chucking his printer out of the window of his second floor office. He did this several times. My cousin had to set up an email alert that automatically forwarded to her when either was about to happen so she could refill paper or ink. One time he was having his "hyperlink troubles" or something I called my cousin at 3:00 in the morning for help but she was asleep like a normal person, so he called tech support. When she came to work the next day the tech support called to tell them that if there was ever another issue that their boss was not allowed to call them. Someone else in the office could, but not the boss. |
