NPR Journalizard posted:Severance is a great show and should be watched by anyone who has worked an office job they don't like Absolutely. If the job I was just reduced from could, they would absolutely have a scanner to find any words you carry on or in your person when entering or leaving work. Not being permitted writing materials made sense when they were sorting tax documents by hand 20 years ago, but not when you are accessing things in a database and you just want to take loving notes on where to find poo poo in the extensive knowledge base you also have to find poo poo in while unfortunate callers are looking for clear answers. Then again, I’ve never had the urge to steal someone’s identity, or write down their personal information when THAT part is easy to find. So it might be an acceptable policy?

Stoatbringer posted:I've had chili beer. I've had serrano pepper beers, they range from spicy as gently caress to masking the pepper under other flavors like chocolate to the point you don't notice it's there. I've also had straight on pepper beers that are almost entirely built on making you want to drink something else so you don't die from the capsaicin. I leave my team at the end of the month and I'm finding out how weird our company handles these sorts of things. When I left my last job for this one my supervisor would end emails I was included on with a note that I wouldn't be on the team by X date for over a month because the company expects managers to communicate out the details of a member leaving. The issue is that there's a lot of leeway in the timing of the announcement. Our team has known I was leaving for over a week now, but outside of our tiny group it's kind of scattershot. Random people have heard, but people I deal with daily have no idea. My wife tells me that almost all departures and movements are not communicated outside of the team until the person's last day if not after the fact. I have no idea why that's considered acceptable; we have so many things working at any given time that we need to warn people that changes are happening as soon as possible, but instead...oops, talk to this person instead now, other guy left Monday.

Oh man. We ran out of IPA... I wish someone would have told me we were running low. I tried to fit one in the schedule earlier this month but boss was like we already have one. I don't want to do nothing but IPA, but you kind of need to make sure you have one at least. Better to have two on tap at once than none at all. Should have rattled harder for it but lesson learned. Schedule is getting a bit tight with some other beers the management has deemed important, but when I get a free week I'll try and get a kveik yeast pushed out ASAP.

I work in a poker room and part of my job is calculating bet payoffs, buy ins, cash outs and doing a fair amount of long math in my head. Which, like most people over the last 30 years, I have not done much of and used a phone/calculator like everyone else. But we're not allowed to have phones, calculators or even pen and paper to work these out. "15 x 75" or "7 x 85" on the fly might be easy for some people but not me. I can get there but some bets take me longer than they like. It's made even more weird by the fact that we're issued tablets to track the game under our log in names where we can make notes and poo poo BUT the tablet doesn't store them anywhere. So what's the point of it? There's also a loving calculator RIGHT THERE on said tablet. I also have to enter the total bet amounts into it on every hand but they're not logged anywhere at all. It seems designed to keep track of what's going on, which can be daunting at a full table with a lot of high action, but the way they use it makes it where we might as well not even have it. It's completely pointless.

Something that’s annoying me right now is how centralised our decision making is and how it’s all one step removed from people that know anything. I manage a team of folk, I make my performance grading, send them to my boss. He takes them to his boss and they discuss them, make changes and bring them back to me to then discuss with the employee about how they’re no longer performing well because their bosses, bosses boss decided it. What to change the status of something? Discuss it with the stakeholders and get agreement from them? No, my boss and the stake holder boss discuss it without any of the context and decide.

He takes them to his boss and they discuss them, make changes and bring them back to me to then discuss with the employee about how they’re no longer performing well because their bosses, bosses boss decided it. This is all working as designed. To start, performance evaluations aren't about evaluating the performance of employees: they're about punishing poor performers and justifying lovely/no raises and lack of promotion. The number of people who are identified as not performing well is a function of a budget, not actual work being done. The second part is all about the ago old problem of people in executive leadership misidentifying their position with competence in day to day tasks/decisions when obviously nothing can be further from the truth in most cases. Plus cruelty. You don't get there without some level of psychopathy and narcissism. My company's annual planning was done on a spreadsheet. They started with last years quarterly revenue and profit margins. Added percentages to those. Then attempted to back project/initiatives to be completed in each quarter that would generate that amount of revenue/margin. The revenue from these projects as well as the time and resources required to complete them is being guessed at by executive sales leadership and non technical product managers. It turned out to be just as realistic and achievable as you'd expect. Motronic fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Jan 16, 2023 |

see how easy/hard the trainings are. suck up the money if they're easy enough to knock out quickly. my favs are the ones where you already know the poo poo going in and just have to let a video play through while dicking around online and answer a 5-10 question quiz on simple poo poo.

Last week I had to do my Osha refresher. I think I've been using the same online place since 2009. Same questions. I also had to do 10x online safety courses for a major utility. They're in an isnet wrapper, so clients can make sure you're compliant. This is my third year taking those. Some, you can try and "Test Out" if you've had the course previously, but the test requires 100% scoring to proceed. I'll always forget something hyper-site specific that I can't google. Then I sit through a 45 minute session and take the same test, that again requires 100% to get your cert.

One of my clients with an industrial business makes me do a 45 minute OSHA course with a test for every site visit, including: - their office building - their retail sites The content is exactly the same for every site but the training pass is site specific and expires every year. This is why I do my meetings at starbucks.

We had a bunch of site inductions on a website that wouldn't let you open multiple tabs, and you couldn't go back to review the slide deck information. Of course everyone takes a photo/screenshot of each slide. I think the real test was 'is this person smart enough to cheat'.
