Sent a very very heavily edited and shortened version of the email I posted upthread to my manager and cc'd her manager on Sunday night.

Monday morning team meeting arrives and there's no reaction. Turns out that her Outlook is not working.

Then in rapid succession another of my teammates contacts her boss and threatened to quit due to something she did that morning, and the outlook exchange starts working. So two of her staff have simultaneously and clearly independently contacted her boss basically saying "poo poo changes asap or we're gone".

Long story short I'm moving to my new team in a few weeks.

Back when my job had me quietly raging about the holocaust of stupidity that included my employer as well as customers and their lawyers, I used to write long jeremiads & screeds in MS Word and save them to my desktop.

I’d move on to something else & then go back & read it, have a chuckle, delete, then compose a Professional ResponseTM

The process was very therapeutic.

I've seen contracts where you get an extra hour on fall back and lose the hour on spring forward so its definitely the case that HR is just hand wringing about nothing. Its not like that hour doesn't exist, it still needs considered for like OSHA rules on double shifts.

There's an argument that losing that hour fucks up hour based calculations for OT etc. so better to just let the shift lottery wash out what the clock says. But if you just want the shift lottery to decide things might as well make it all positive so there's also an obvious pro labor fix where you get the extra hour at fall back and get a small "bonus" for working spring forward and get just a normal shift's hours.

I said gently caress it to normal work this Monday morning and did some pro-d instead.

- According to case law in my country, you can chop out the branches or roots of an encroaching tree but you aren't allowed to eat any overhanging fruit (I don't know if the courts have dealt with what happens if you chop the branches and then eat the fruit)

- The court may authorize your workmen and their animals to drive their hovercraft over your neighbour's land to repair a fence if it is more practicable than repairing from your side of the fence, but they must not lop any shrubs without consent.

Thanks to the r/relationships thread I have a slightly unhealthy enthusiasm for TREE LAW


We have our bi-annual food safety audit in two weeks. It’s my first one with this company, and while we are good on sanitation and make great beer, the owner bois are still very much learning about processes and record keeping. I’m good at that poo poo, but constantly having to pack off cans around brewing so I haven’t had much time to try to get our paperwork in order. I’ve been given a packaging-free day to work on it, but I’m also putting down a stout and filtering an IPA that day. Wish me luck goons. At least I’ve met the auditor before at my old brewery. She’s a nice lady, but she’s very good at her job.

Dumb poo poo your work has done: DSD edition, Ch. 1.

What is DSD? Direct (to) store delivery, where the producer warehouses product to be delivered directly from their warehouse to the customer location without entering the customer's warehouse or supply chain. This can be as simple as the customer making an order and having it delivered where their employees stock it, to producer/distributor-side salespeople making orders for specialized merchandisers to stock, and anything in between. Depending on where you live in the USA, this might be some or all of your packaged bread, chips, branded soft drinks, beer/wine/liquor, and other food or food adjacent products.

I did bread. So. much. loving. bread. All working for independent operators who own sales territory and the exclusive rights to sell product within it. Wide and varied amounts of giving a gently caress about the job, product, even the customers.

Show up to the depot between midnight and 0600, break your load of product down by store or just shove it into the truck to be picked from at the customer location, do some paperwork to show if you were short or over on product, then head out to distribute the poo poo.

Distribute you will, as you're usually the only person who will ever touch your product in-store. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, you start by pulling stale and organizing shelves/displays for new product coming in, get your product checked in, go to town merchandising, all while getting an idea in your head for what you must order next (sometimes a week out) or what you're going to move around between stores tomorrow. Sunday and Wednesday, you work product you've left in the store previous days. No deliveries, just what we call "pull ups".

I, myself, specialized in running vacations. Independent operator (I/Os) have to make arragements for their own time off. Illness, family issues, vacation, burnout, the company will not help you, but if they must, they will charge you an arm and a leg for doing so. Like, over $250/day (it's punitive). I charged rather less than that, usually taking all the profit/day or a little bit more.

DSYWD: DSD edition, Ch. 2. My guy's laziness works for him.

My guy N, and I really like this guy, had not taken vacation for eleven years straight.

Not after the last time.

N didn't work hard, so wouldn't make you do anything too strenuous. Talking coming in late, staying out there forever each day, being as lazy as possible. Everyone liked him though. Great rapport with customers, they didn't care as long as the work got done eventually.

So, N trains this kid for a few weeks, throws him the keys, and leaves, Mon-Sat. Comes back on Sun to find the wheels of his cargo trailer bowed out like a stanced '94 Honda Civic. "Hmmm, what did he do to my trailer?!" Opens up the doors and it is completely full of undelivered bread. Checking the ties, he figures out what happend. The kid got tired of the job on Tues. Thurs-Sat he pulled the trailer to the depot, stacked poo poo in the trailer, then dropped it off back at N's front yard.

This is when, as a business owner, you'd poo poo yourself blind in anger. No time for that though! N rushes to all his stores and it's bare wire shelves as far as he could see. Everything sold out, everywhere. First store, N goes to the manager expecting the worst.

"Hey man, I'm so sorry. My guy flaked out. Can I vring poo poo in now?"

"Yeah, sure. Honestly, we know you and just figured something happened so we didn't call in on you. Go for it!"

The next four stores, he just rolled in like nothing was wrong. Sure, he got a few, "WTF, N? No service for three days? That's bad, even for you!", but it all worked out in the end.

poo poo scared, to beer-thirty in four hours.

Oh, there a good bit of that.

Roll up to the back door of my only stop at 0600. Rhymes with Ball-Warg. There is a huge crash and beer starts pouring out from underneath the roll-up door. Cursing, yelling, door flys up. Bottles just rolling out into the lot.

Beer semi driver is lit. Totally hosed, sideways.

How did that happen? He must have driven to work and parked his car. Wandered into the office to get the keys to his truck and assignments. Drove the bitch out of there and signed for the truck and trailer on the way out.

Two hours later, he's at Ball-Wargs door, spilling pallets.

The receivers went ham on him,

"Don't do anything. We've called your boss, he'll be here in a minute."

I saw what was happening, went and got my personal vehicle to park in front of the tractor.

"Yo! Leave if you got to. You will not be driving that truck. Taxi, friend, whatever. Just walk away."

Did he go in hosed, or slam a 12 between the depot and his 2nd stop?

Sad story, dude died two weeks later. Work probation, heart attack at the depot.
