Hello team,

We are recalibrating some of our policies to ensure we provide the caliber and consistency of service our clients expect.

  • Regrettably, we will be decreasing base pay across the board by $3 in response to the overall economic situation, and put a temporary hold on increases to compensation. We will actively assess when we can resume our typical compensation practices.
  • Over the next month, we will be phasing out our temporary remote work policies for all employees. Please take the next month to make the necessary arrangements. As of June 1, all employees will be expected on-site. We are not evaluating a hybrid work model or exemptions to this policy at this time.
  • To address issues with inappropriate technology usage, we will be implementing new IT policies and software to permit only business-critical use cases. Use of personal electronics on the premises is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.

Please reach out to [NAME] (before [DATE]) or myself if you have any questions about these changes. While we understand they may be challenging, they represent the best path forward to allow the business and all our employees to prosper.

Regards,
[NAME]

Stop blocking out company names. These dickheads need to be named and shamed as an example to the rest.

The mystery of the emails to nowhere has been solved: Turns out that the person who was supposed to be receiving them was in the room when I brought up the issue but didn't know their own email address so he didn't speak up. He'd been complaining about not being able to open his (full) email to a long-since discontinued ticketing system and never mentioned it to anybody else.

At my last job we had a few /var/log/READTHISLOGHOLYSHIT files that were completely undocumented. We also had a few /home/username/EVENMOREIMPORTANTERRORSHERE files that were alluded to in our internal wiki but in the least obvious way.

E: We also had load bearing bugs in our init scripts. Bad environment variables at the start that were compensated for in the case statement.

The baker who left/was fired for physically threatening a barista is back, and was there for my entire shift today, from beginning to end. I was squeezed into corners the whole time because either her stuff was sprawled out across both workstations in the kitchen, or she had one and my boss had the other. I barely had space (or time) to fry the 10 dozen donuts I have to prep every Saturday, since she had a giant pot of soup on the stove where we fry the donuts. Also noticed that this baker doesn’t get so much as a disapproving look for leaving her dishes in the three compartment sink or not ensuring the dishwasher racks are in the same place all the time.

Fun fact, we had three workstations before the overnight kitchen reorganization. Now there are two, which makes having three people in the kitchen absolutely unworkable.

This would not stop this person losing half of their staff overnight which is a bigger problem than a potential lawsuit; by the time the workers got any kind of judgment against the business, which isn’t certain in any case, it would be defunct.

people who ran a business for 30-40 years in lovely slack labor markets just straight up do not know how to react to a tight one.

Dang, I used to work at a MegaCorp that had sponsored a ballot initiative that our CEO was obsessed with and they put a giant sign in the lobby encouraging employees to vote for it and that came down real fast overnight after Legal/HR must have learned trying to tell your employees how to vote when they rely on their jobs for food/healthcare is probably extremely illegal.

I’ve worked for a few small businesses in a town of ~50k people, so while there’s a chance that this and similar emails are fake, bosses like that absolutely do exist. It’s extremely plausible that their Boomer victim complex would combine with good old leaded gasoline fumes to produce such a screed.

Oh yes I have feelers out. Honestly not stressed a bit, fairly confident I can pick something up quickly and I qualify for UA if they do let me go.

I actually got a call from an old employer for a position not in accounting but I think my price scared them off.

I don't think this makes you/Agile sound as a good as you think it does...

Your point is basically that even someone deliberately parodying Agile is saying some things that are "correct"? Someone deliberately trying to be ridiculous is saying things you agree with.

I don't believe any of those things and it's really funny how you all jump to insane conclusions. There are unfortunately unwavering hardcore agile cultists but the opposing online army of weirdos not even trying to improve things in any way and blaming agile coaches for failure instead of poor leadership is also awful.

Agility shouldn't be forced where it doesn't make sense. I'm in a situation like that right now with a team I'm coaching and I've asked to be put with a different team because imposing scrum on that team will actually slow them down and cause problems but this incredibly weird goony hivemind that insists that agility is always bad and wrong all the time is extremely stupid also.

Completely agreed, and even then, I disagree with using agile on ALL software development projects. Sometimes it’s nice to have an actual finished product instead of launching with a buggy piece of poo poo an iterative user experience.
