I’ve been sending out resumes and applying for stuff, not out of desperation but just looking around. Holy gently caress what happened to all the job sites? It feels like it’s all just an info harvester for spam now.

They're all terrible. The quality of search returned on any of the large generic ones is borderline unusable.

I love it when our project management service makes unannounced and undocumented changes to their API that break multiple reports that are supposed to be updated daily.

Roses are red Violets are blue I was laid off It's affecting me more than I would like to admit because much of my self image and much of my social interaction was tied to my job and I'm having trouble adjusting without a reason to even wake up in the morning

Leave a voicemail at 8:40 AM, email me at 9:04 AM, then email my boss at 9:08 AM saying “just makin chili is unresponsive, I need help ASAP” is a real good way for me to never give a poo poo about helping you ever again. My (mostly good) boss’s response when I told him the timeline of that interaction “wow what a bunch of BS”.

I brought my lunch and ate early since someone scheduled a teams meeting during lunch hour. Probably best not to skip this one based on the attendees. Joined the teams meeting, no one's there. Someone IMs me to say "the monthly meeting is running over." OK so I'll wait. And wait. And wait. And eventually someone comes by my office, "oh hey that meeting invite was for lunch in the cafeteria."

Cyrano4747 posted:*taps thread title* I'd fallen way behind in the thread but that title was too good to pass up. As a side-note, as a general PSA, if anyone sees a good thread title change then reporting it is a good way to get it seen. I had just happened to decide to catch up on the thread and caught that one, but it could have languished even longer if I hadn't randomly popped in. No guarantee that it will be acted on, but more often than not it's a good way to get thread titles changed.

Welp looks like at least half of the front desk staff, including myself, are all looking for other jobs. Id say front desk morale is pretty low, I dont think management is really noticing.

They won't notice or care until the green box in the spreadsheet for ticket resolution times turns red, and only care long enough to harass the few remaining employees to 'get those numbers down'.

As predicted, my promotion was postponed until next month so I can be used in my capacity of backup to the backup on workflow and audit reporting this week. I'm horrible and clunky on this on a good day, mostly because I handle it maybe 2X a year. I'm extra horrible and clunky on it when it's been replaced with an upgraded, web based system that broke all the macros, hides cases that need to be worked, and takes twice as long to do basic allocations. It also drops one out of every 100 cases for.. reasons. As a result, a group that sends us between 120-140 cases a day are freaking out and sending me 10 emails a day about the one case a day the system drops. I answer why, let them know that it has been escalated, and copy in my manager who is way more on it than me and deals directly with the vendor. They respond by asking the same question and replying to everyone but my manager. I can't wait to move on. I also got to talk to who will be my manager starting next month. The recruiter told me I would have to go to the office 3X a week for the first 3 months. However, this manager sees zero point in me doing so as I am the only person doing the new job in my location, so I get to stay full remote!

So old manager of about 2 years moved on up to the Transport team as a manager there in January. Mid-February we got a new manager transferred from another department. New manager finds new job and her last shift/pizza party was on the 16th. Normally I'd make sarcastic jokes about pizza parties but I'm totally fine with a "Hey, I'm OUT! Thank you for not burning down the building in the month I was responsible for you, and I have an allowance for pizza parties I need to spend anyways!" Meanwhile Indeed finally figured out I'm interested in jobs that actually pay more than Amazon. As much as I'd like to finally escape the box factory it's kind of hard when I'm making 20-25% more than most of the jobs I keep getting offers for. Especially after I found a job that's basically "Hide in the corner and make sure management doesn't hear the very important squeaky wheel squeaking."

Volmarias posted:Have they tried having a pizza party yet? They should try having a pizza party. I have a meeting Monday to discuss the Fun Committee's food budget for the year. It's complicated because catering, travel, and training are in the same bucket this year and we want to spend as little as possible... while keeping morale up and putting the right people in the same room as possible. This might not actually suck.

Oh God. I just remembered the after work meetings we used to have at the last brewery I worked at with cold cheap lovely fried food from the restaurant and stale beer the owner had gotten as samples. Usually it was so old it had noticable off flavors. We never drank our own beer which is fine since he was pushing out product after less than two weeks in the tank so all our beers had really bad diacetyl issues.

Basically there were regulations put in place after scandals about My TAX DOLLARS paying for a few senior people to hold a ten minute meeting over a weekend in Vegas, and as a result the office workers in the Fed Paperwork Factory need to all chip in out of their own pockets if they want a two pizzas in the lunchroom Christmas party.

We’re posting a job for my group and I may be able to successfully convince manager to remove the requirement that applicants have a year of experience in our larger dept. As the last time it was posted, this limited our candidate pool by making 98% of the company ineligible and we only got one applicant, and no one in the existing team had been in the larger dept before joining.

Are they going to hire external applicants with no experience in your larger dept if they can't fill the position internally?

Oh man I hope not, one time they vetoed an internal candidate I liked who was hardworking and knew our systems for unclear reasons, and brought in an external hire for a technical position who didn’t know how to use a desk telephone. Not that this person needed info on how to place external calls, it was “pick up receiver, ignore buttons on phone, begin pressing numbers on keyboard and get mad it isn’t working.”
