Two dudes with short shorts and chest hair at a diner where one of them casually gropes the waitress. The video pauses and the narrator who for some reason looks and sounds strangely similar to Walter Cronkite walks into the frame and asks us if the man should have A) Cupped her rear end less B) Gave it a slap instead C) Kept his hands to himself, and instead called her "sugar tits" or D) Excused himself to go do more cocaine in the men's room. Just 20 minutes of nonsense like that.

Lol. As per usual I was giving myself a goddamn heart attack over scheduling, had a meeting with my boss to sort of confirm things and he was reasonable and flexible with regards to management requests and clearly communicated the beers took priority (which I'd pretty much already guessed). I know this about the guy, but I always end up killing myself in these situations because I'm so used to dealing with narcissistic sociopaths who have no idea how to run a brewery and refused to follow a production schedule at all, leading to biweekly overhauls.

I meant that things are actually pretty decent but I just sorta got all neurotic about scheduling. Fortunately, my direct boss is pretty flexible. I just started freaking out because it was like this giant puzzle and time dependent. It should be okay, if a little hectic. Fortunately, even at my most busy here I'm not too crazy busy. Wish we had more kegs tho.

The last two brewery owners I worked for couldn't manage a production schedule to save their lives. The first guy would actually sit down and work out a production schedule with me every month or so (although getting him to do so was sometimes next to impossible). The problem was, the schedule we came up with was mostly meaningless because literally within days, after we'd finalized a schedule and plans on what we'd be brewing and I'd gone back to the brewery to order ingredients, he'd call to tell me that we needed to completely overhaul the production schedule to make room for some beer he had suddenly decided we needed ASAP. Nevermind if we'd built part of the schedule off of cropping beer from one beer to make another (he also insisted on using expensive liquid yeast shipped from the US) or I now had to sit on a bunch of dark malts with summer approaching. We needed this thing ASAP! Other guy had me working on a shift schedule and would immediately say yes to any order without checking stock or the schedule and would suddenly move brew days and packaging days so the schedule was never worth the paper the thing was printed on. He'd also never really warn people it'd been updated. You'd go to check the schedule and realize it had suddenly changed. His packaging schedule was based on orders and most beers were packaged after less than two weeks in the tank. He always asked me why they had such diacetyl problems. This place is very reasonable with all that. Sometimes the schedule shifts, but that's normal, and I get a lot of say in it. I was just driving myself crazy with self-induced stress more than anything. I think because of those two guys.

my work has some trainings that are have to do every ~6mo-yearly, but they're just a video with a ppt, with a little bottom banner popup that says "yes, i certify that i have reviewed <legal information>" the problem it that it looks JUST like one of those "accept all cookies" gdpr banners, and I keep mindlessly clicking it in the first 5 seconds of the video.

One of my vendors got hit with a cyberattack late last week and their system is down while they try to recover. The shop floor is still running because they just went to using paper riders instead of the computerized system, but they can't interact with things like our supplier portal and thus can't ship parts until things are fixed. I pulled together a list of parts and shipments that, if the outage continues over the next two weeks as expected, will be impacted and then sent it out to our customer sites to let them know the parts at risk. The only response I got was from one of our sites on the other side of the world: "Could you please help prioritize Vendor ship X part this week, already late to production. When could system in Vendor, up and running?" Now, I get that English is not this person's first or primary language and I am pretty used to some scattered sentence structures in our exchanges. The above, however, is just beyond anything they've sent me in the past. Both a request to ship parts immediately and an acknowledgement that the vendor's systems are down for some time. The same person tried to IM me at 8PM my time, so I get the feeling this is going to be a major problem for my last couple weeks.

The whole "online employee training" scam has even spread to education. I'm a college student and every freshman at my school had to take a "drug awareness" course and a "sexual consent course" which both equated to watching a bunch of edutaining "What would you do?" style videos and reading statistics about how you should never drink and drive, followed with a 30 minute test asking about Alcohol Units and other poo poo we could easily google

I used to have to do a yearly cGMP/cGDP training and quiz and boy howdy did the company you worked for and other agencies watch you on camera taking it and look at the results. Got to take it unlimited times, too. Should probably take it once if it's literally everything you do at work. Multiple failures wasn't a termination, but 32 by a new hire was.

kru posted:actually it's chuckle heartily and let someone else deal with it Long ago, I had to do some fire warden training for the office I worked in. And one of the things they pounded into our head was if someone smells smoke, my job was to get to a safe place then either pull the fire alarm or call 911. And that was the sum total of what I had to do. Which upset a lot of coworkers because they seemed to think it was a position with real responsibility. Like it was now part of my job to confirm a fire is an actual fire. Or seek out the managers and consult with them if people are supposed to leave. It wasn't official policy, just more people not wanting to make a decision. People seriously expected me to use the hoses on the wall to try to put out the fire. With no gear, or air. Nope. I mean I would have helped people with disabilities or injuries get to stairwell. But gently caress if I'm putting my life at risk to convince you that your safety is more important than a conference call.

I have over 170 training modules and most are yearly, a few are every 2-3 years. Thankfully only 8 or so feature videos over 8 minutes (the worst is three thirty minutes videos) and only maybe 3 require in person practical/practical demonstrations (after the initial) The refreshers are usually a bit easier than the initials as well. I also have a few one time only trainings. There are hundreds of buildings where I work and if I have to work in another team's backyard I inherit a minimum amount of their building specific training. One that stood out basically gave the building's blueprints and where the air was coming in from, (because it's a giant vault) and told where to disable the building, this is so I know how to tell on bad actors presumably to prevent tragedy. There are several areas where you must report strange things but DO NOT take initiative to help because you WILL make it worse.

You've got to be non sentient to not get 100% in them, they're sales/compliance box ticks. Got 6-7 done in an hour once.

I just had to take a 3 hour class in the middle of the day cause they couldn’t schedule a night shift one for 4 months. It primarily covered travel, work from home and expensing purchases. Which are all useless since I can’t travel, all my work is on the machines in the cleanroom, I can’t work from home since all my work is on the machines in the cleanroom, and I don’t expense anything since there’s nothing I can purchase. Also there seems to be a software glitch on our test terminals because sometimes when I enter my login info I get logged in as a different user. And it’s not even a different user with a similar login, its a radically different ID.
