I'm going to lose my full-time remote job by the end of the year. I still have my part-time remote job. But I can barely afford life as it is. And my family's health insurance is tied to that job. I need a new job but have been submitting applications since May and had a few interviews and nothing has panned out. I should have won that loving Powerball.

Had a coworker that never had mixed drinks like those before, then at a Christmas party some of the ladies gave him some fruity thing that he thought wasn't very strong. An important lesson was learned that day. Well, next morning at least. I'm glad that in the winter, even the local supermarkets will start putting out packs of whatever barrel aged stouts.

Freaquency posted:One of my favorite summer beers is a basil beer. Yeah, but this was probably built from the ground up by an actual brewer. They probably had some drink with basil, considered how it fit within that drink, how it could be incorporated into a beer, etc. I do think experimenting with different adjuncts and ingredients is a good idea, you have to keep it fresh while watching trends, but when it's top down it usually sucks because they're usually very vague or overly specific and just start tacking on a bunch of different random ingredients. As it stands, I'm really glad I don't work in the kitchen. The head chef wasn't in today so I got a shift meal. Morale is low. Everyone hates working with that guy. The restaurant manager "joked" about me helping in the kitchen since they're short staffed. Lol. No way in hell, dude. I don't have training or interest in that, you aren't gonna pay me extra for that, and even if you were going to I'm not putting myself in close proximity with the head chef because lord knows if he found out about it he'd find some insane reason to throw a tantrum over it and I get enough drama from that dope anyways. I'll just chill out in the brewery.

They're doing a first year anniversary event thing on Friday. As usual the restaurant manager has taken a simple idea that could be a good opportunity for sales and made it awkward and removed from any kind of interaction with possible industry accounts. I guess I'm supposed to do an 8 hour shift where I hang out in the restaurant and go to the tables of people who've ordered the beer and ask them if they have any questions. I don't mind chatting up customers, but 8 hours sounds exhausting and going to different tables to initiate conversations just seems bizarre and awkward to me. It's not the biggest deal but...what? This place isn't awful but once I've gotten my visa renewed early next year I think it's gonna be time to review my options because this place is going nowhere.

8 hours? Nah, find/create some other jobs that "can't wait" and duck out for a decent chunk. It does give you the option of reporting whatever opinions about beer you decide they should have.

At least I've been mostly just surfing the forums on my phone recently, so even if Friday is a pain I'll have the next two days off and I won't have to do it again for a long time. I am looking forward to brewing that biere de Nöel with our supplier.

Bored posted:Are they forcing everyone to return to office after telling you you can be 100% remote? No, the company is in Arkansas, the owner is in Portland and I am in NJ. In office isn't possible. The problem is, she just bought another company with a structure similar to ours but they do way more business. Sales are down 40% and she's already laid off the same percentage of her office. I've stayed mostly invisible but my boss says the owner is looking at things a lot more carefully rn and that he (my boss) is applying for jobs, while trying to keep our positions as long as he can.

lmao on Sunday we came in and turned the servers on and they broke, we had to run a line without an AOI, then the entire network crashed midday yesterday while IT was on the phone with as many people as they could find who know about this (you know, COVID and shutting down the plant and all, nobody needs the guys who know how the network works because they built it) and they had to call all the temps off because none of the testers could connect to the network last night. Shut down both SMD lines, just ran wave. Stuff started coming back up after a server reset at 4:45AM, not fully but enough to give a sigh of relief. I'm still convinced one of the servers has bad memory since this is an intermittent problem that goes away for months then comes back hard for weeks straight, but I'm also an operator so.

gently caress beer chat, my employer gets samples of wine from all over the world. They only use a bottle or two and leave the rest. The rest end up filling an entire warehouse. Once a year they hold an auction and give out the wine to staff, or frankly whoever the gently caress you nominate they don't really check. This year I nominated my mother because she's kind of centrally placed to distribute it to my family. I ordered 2 boxes for her, however due to a warehousing glitch they literally delivered her enough wine to blockade her out of her own house. She needed to get her whole neighbours family to bail her out and get all the boxes indoors. She called me up kind of bemused and asked why I ordered her 2 entire pallets of wine, and why her entire spare room is now just alcohol storage. Dumb, but also kind of good for once. The wine varies from $200 bottles of fine wine to $5 bottles of toilet wine, plus anything vaguely grape based so Hungarian Tokaji, unlabelled bottles of Vermouth, 20 year old port, port only suitable for disinfectant purposes. Truly an alcoholic smorgasbord.

The first shoe has dropped. We are returning to the office for 3 days a week, and coincidentally, also “offering opportunities” to some people to go work for a different division. This - despite delivering the best 2 years results working entirely remotely in the last fifteen years !! So… 1/4 of my team is interviewing entirely outside the company now. Now we wait for the second shoe - the layoffs in 2q23 that are deffo not in the plan. they are absolutely in the plan

Since annual review season is coming up, I'd just like to take this moment to say that the 9-box is the worst employee evaluation method I have encountered. Somehow it manages to simultaneously be too fiddly and detailed, and too low-resolution. People can't even agree on what each box means. The same box that, to one manager, means "this employee is doing all right but could be even better with some specialized coaching" might mean "this employee is hopeless and I'm insulted to have been saddled with such a piece of poo poo" to another manager. Ditto for "this employee is meeting assigned goals quite well" and "this employee is the most brilliant human being I have ever encountered". e: And don't even get me loving started on the subtle distinction between performance and potential.

Revoking wfh is a great way to effect voluntary layoffs so that you don't have to pay any of that pesky severance and poo poo. Then you involuntarily lay off the remaining excess head count. The fact that the first people to jump your sinking ship are usually the people who you want to keep never seems to occur to the people attempting this One Weird Trick.

Since my department went permanently remote work, I've been taking naps in the afternoon most days. At around 4:00 I woke up, claimed a long overdue ticket in our system and sent and email, then went to the supermarket with my wife... only to see into my supervisor looking at cheese in the dairy section, also there before our regular clock off time at 5:00. He looked like he had also just rolled out of bed as his hair was cowlicked to hell and he was wearing pajama pants. He didn't see us as his back was turned but I quickly told her we had to gtfo, lest we might meet and have to make small talk while we both quietly knew why that last support ticket was sitting in our system unclaimed for 2 hours Avoiding your bosses like horror movie monsters ftw

Jerks: We're rejecting your expense report. You categorized these as 'billable' when they should be 'chargeable'. Me: What's the difference between billable and chargeable? Jerks: An expense can't be billable unless it's also chargeable, but if it's not billable it can still be chargeable. If it's neither billable nor chargeable you need to change the client code to 'company', but we haven't implemented that in the system yet. If it's billable and chargeable but shouldn't be included on the invoice, change the company code to 'client'. If it's billable but not chargeable, but you want it on the invoice anyway, contact the billing department. Me: That doesn't explain the difference. Also, what? Jerks: Oh look the system is down again thanks for calling try again next week after the helpline gets assigned a new phone number that we won't announce anywhere. Also we won't reimburse these if they're filed past the deadline that ends at noon today. *click*

Also refuse to do any reimbursable travel citing previous unpaid reimbursements. Update your resume, reimbursement shenanigans is step 2 of 12 on the 'business, our business is being a business! E.G. Sears'.
