My wife and I work for the same company and they were offering booster shots on Wednesday, so I went back to the office for the first time since March 2020 partially for that, but also because I needed to clean out my desk as the building I worked out of had been sold and anything left in the building at the end of the year was getting trashed (thankfully, my wife still has a desk and I was able to work in her cube for the day). To get inside the building I had to fight a bird that got trapped between the outer and inner doors and wouldn't leave even after I held the door open for a minute. Somehow leaves and sticks and general outside stuff made its way into the halls, and the carpet was stained and torn up. Apparently the stuck bird was just one of several animals who had attempted to get in and there was a family of squirrels on the second floor somewhere according to one of my wife's co-workers. The area I worked out of was an old loading dock security overlook space that had been converted to a mini-office with a dozen desks and a tiny conference room. This is what greeted me when I got up there:  My wife's reaction was "you can smell that picture" and she's not wrong. Someone had kept the heat up in the 80's in that space for some while and I almost gagged when I opened the door. I have no idea who bought this building from us, but I hope they completely rip the interior apart or tear it down entirely because my office is on the first of three floors and we somehow had a ceiling tile rot out. There's some real issues with that building. The bird was still in the doorway when I left, still refused to go out.

IS that wall meant to have the same "Pin cushion" texture as the ceiling? Or... Or is that mold?

We're up to 5 out of 8 of us who have now had COVID from in-office transmission. "The loss of productivity is too great to go full work-from-home!" (The only employees losing productivity are the two who should never have been hired from how incompetent they are.)

I spent a week without a computer when I started at a defense contractor that knew I was coming in for almost three months. I had a phone, though, and it turns out those were even more difficult to come by when I tried to call someone and it turned out they were sharing a number with someone else while they waited for their own.

Casinos are basically sadness factories if you are a normal person. I live near one and we'll occasionally go there for shopping or dinner (or used to) and you see the people with oxygen tanks/cigarettes so often you don't notice it. I've also seen people pass out at table games, some lady puke into a standing ashtray and most depressing, a small child doing homework while sitting on the floor just outside one of the gaming areas. That was especially concerning.

I need help One isn’t enough they have to say both. Apparently someone might just say they’re a gambling addict or in extreme financial duress to make conversation. For oxygen tanks and cigarettes: they briefly made the casino no smoking for 2 months and they saw revenues dip like 30% because of it. What's an explosion or too if it doesn't cut into profits?

The Zombie Guy posted:My company has spent half a year telling everyone to get vaccinated ASAP, because we work in public facing, high transmission environments. I work in the eldercare field, we lost 50% of our staff in November due to leaves for this reason. Our facility is for people who have VERY deep dementia, Alzheimer's, etc... Tons of 'elopement risk', tons of wildly violent behaviors, a good half of our residents are also some level of bariatric patients as well. So we're already stretched pretty thin when we have a FULL staff. We are down to 3 people on NOX shift, 1 caregiver, two aides. For 75 patients. And once we lost half our staff, the remaining half got overwhelmed, and we've lost about 30% of them in the past 3 weeks. Admin tried to call back the people on leave, got 4 back out of 30. And then people who were already vaxed got mad because they were told they had to, buckled down, got the shots, got sick as hell from it, and it was for nothing, because obviously they let the unvaxed come back in the end anyway. Morale is so low it's nonexistant. More people are burning out and putting in notice. We are figuratively burning up here. We have people working 18 hour shifts because we literally can't leave the place unstaffed. We're screwed no matter what we do - let the unvaxed come back, to relieve the pressure, or keep them away. We've been running ads for 3 weeks now and what I heard was that we've gotten 'less than 10' applications in. For a staffing shortage of about 55 vacancies. We have tiny overnight girls trying to work with resistant 500 lb patients. This is just a perfect storm for disaster. This is the first job I've managed to get since March 2020 and I'm applying everywhere I can to just cut and run. It's getting completely uncontrollable. The state has promised 'help' but admin says we won't see any of that funding until maybe summer of 2022. People are literally going to die or be badly injured because of this, and there's no way out of it.

Google your State's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and rat them out. Companies exploiting and endangering vulnerable disabled people who can't defense themselves for wild profits is the only time being a narc is justified imo. You can bring records too, they have their own HIPAA carve out.

We're evicting people now, unemployment is over, no more stimulus checks, we are on our own now. We're not the only facility that's horrifyingly understaffed, overworked and all else. Not trying to be argumentative, it's just the sad facts. We have mostly medicare patients, they really have nowhere else to put them. People here have been turned away from the state hospital and gone out and killed themselves and the official response is 'so sorry, we can't do anything'.

Zil posted:Where does a used car lot rank after them? If they're anything like the wholesale dealers I sell to (I work for a nationwide corporate dealership at a location with a wholesale auction), they should be in second place after casinos. I've had a dealer blatantly alter the mileage on a vehicle title and then encourage the person he sold it to to call me and ask for an odometer correction affidavit. It took ages for my management to ban him, even after I showed proof of the alterations. Guy made a "0" out of a "1", an "8" out of a "4", and shaved about 60000 miles off of an odometer. I definitely don't claim my employer is much better. We sell $80000 vehicles to families with 2 small children and 26% APRs.
