Yeah, helping a coworker move some poo poo to their new apartment on the weekend in exchange for a six pack is one thing. Once you're into "need to take vacation days" you're firmly into "need to get loving paid like the mover you're replacing" territory.

Also, vacation days are vacation days. If someone wants to purchase them it's at least double your paid rate. Plus expenses. And pizza with a sixpack, obviously.

Let me put it this way: "Take three vacation days to help me move" would be a pretty huge ask of literal family. Family you actually like, not just people you feel vaguely obligated to. And even then I'd be deeply tempted to just cut a check for whatever movers would cost. edit: I just did a thought exercise for myself of who I would actually take time off to help move. My best friend in the world, a dude I would do pretty much anything for, is probably the best candidate. And even there I think I'd just hire movers and grab a case of beer so we could both sit on his porch and bullshit while watching them do the heavy lifting.

Yeah, in the moment I was “I’ll need to check my roster” because it seemed so ludicrous I kind of felt like I was missing some vital point in the conversation. With reflection it’s an incredibly optimistic request at best!

How does it take 3 days to move. I don't even care about the ask. I'm boggles by the thought process of yeah it's going to take three whole days of me and this other guy. It's a dick move to ask someone to help you move and not have everything boxed up and ready to throw in the truck/U-Haul. Shouldn't take 3 days.

Three days isn't nuts if it's only two people and you're counting literally every step. Boxing up all the poo poo for the move can easily take a day, even in a modest apartment. Maybe not if you're a college kid who owns three shirts and uses a folding table as a desk, but once you're an adult with some furniture, both work and casual clothes, etc. plus all your cooking poo poo and just misc. crap you've accumulated over the years? Yeah, packing that takes a while. For perspective, when I moved out of my first grad school apartment and into the new apartment I was moving into with my then-girlfriend (now wife) I probably had my poo poo packed to go in like two hours. I'd had to restrict myself to what I could fit in a single car when I drove cross-country for grad school, so it was all pretty limited. The last time we moved, 3 years ago? 1100sqft apartment, took us a loving solid weekend to box stuff up, and that was with tackling the small stuff here and there after work over the previous week. Then a full day to load the truck, move the truck, and unpack the truck. Again, been there done that. It takes a surprising amount of time to load boxes into a UHaul, and if you're not in your 20s any more it's hard, sweaty work that will make you feel like poo poo at the end. Being olds, in the move before our last move we loaded one day, drove and unloaded on another. At our last move we just hired some people who aren't in their 40s to load the truck, did the driving, and hired people on the other end. And if she expects help unpacking? Yeah, that's another day too. Moving loving sucks when you're not a college kid who's basically living out of a backpack and a few suitcases.

Or the idea is you will need to make multiple trips between old and new place because she didn't rent a truck or anything. If she's living with other people she may have stuff in storage. The possibilities for fuckery are endless. Outrail posted:That's awesome but can we talk about an engineer owner who knew how to let go? Can we clone this mf? Please, I'll take one. We just had an Engineering Manager decide to become both Operations and Supply Chain on a job that resulted in a dozen lost hours for both me and my Operations Lead. All we wanted to do was get a part cleaned at a vendor and this guy decided to do a bunch of the legwork personally, but he conveyed no information beyond "Company X can do the job" and thought that was enough for all of us to work with. Eventually we had to ask him for his point of contact and what he agreed to for us, only to find out that he never sent Company X any information beyond "ultrasonic cleaning for a part about This Big." We're all idiots in his mind because we didn't know what he agreed to for us and needed his help. When the part showed up at the vendor they asked our driver if he also brought operations sheets or a drawing or literally any information on how they were supposed to do this because they had none of that. Result: a unit that had to be ready to go to the customer on Friday is sitting idle at a vendor and I have to be in a call with my boss' boss on Monday morning to run him through what happened. At that point I will have been in this position for a week.

So I’m in a weird situation, and not sure what to do about it. I’m now FMLA on Wednesdays, due to depression that has recently gotten worse. The problem is I need a full 40 hours a week to handle everything that gets thrown at me. I was barely staying afloat for a while by going in for 4 hours on Saturday mornings, but now working Saturdays has been discontinued and replaced by doing ten hour work days Monday through Thursday. I can’t really handle 10 hour days. I tend to be 10 minutes late in the morning as it is, and I’m pretty exhausted by 5pm. Am I being an rear end in a top hat by keeping this job? I hate not doing anything properly that I’m being paid for, and my boss is a nice guy who doesn’t deserve to be screwed over. Should I resign with time to train a replacement?

The only reason to resign is because it's what you want or need to do. How nice or not nice your boss is doesn't factor into it. It might be a good idea to try and find a job that's more manageable for you, but that's something you do to your own timeframes.

take care of yourself first and gently caress the company imo do what you gotta do to stay afloat and consider looking for another job. Your boss may be nice but the company sure as poo poo isn't.

Echoing the above that gently caress no, you should only resign if you have something you feel you’d rather be doing lined up or if you think it would benefit you personally, don’t worry about how it impacts the company at all. Quitting a job out of some sense that you’re doing the company a favour is a terrible idea, it’s up to them to manage you out the door if they think you’re a detriment. Don’t let your depression drive that decision making by telling you you shouldn’t have your job.

My company is pulling plastic utensils from all the breaker rooms for Earth Day. They bought us all some super cheap* metal utensils in a little pouch. Cool! People keep finding metal shavings in them and cutting their mouths on the sharp edges so they're being recalled, lol. *I bought myself an $8.99 set on Amazon before I knew they were buying some for us, and while it's still a cheap set, and I had to sand the spoon to stop it from scraping the plastic off my yogurt containers, it's much, much higher quality than the stuff the company got us, for instance I could probably bend any piece into a circle with my bare hands with no discomfort.

My company implemented a directive that said we can't have single-use plastic cups, plates, or utensils at morning teas and such. Fine, good. Of course that actually meant that a huge stash of new/sealed plastic items was headed for the trash before I rescued it.

Companies don't give a poo poo about the earth so much as they do about a tax break for eliminating single use and not having to shell out for them. The next step is putting that in the same bucket as any other office investment, which is laughable. I guess just bring your own poo poo from home? That's what I had to do at one of my old jobs, because the scant amount of cutlery available was either in someone's drawer or poorly washed by whoever used it last.

I guess we’ve started making our own remote plasma sources, and I don’t trust them. Firstly we made them, and I know our build quality. Secondly they draw 50 less amps than the old, name brand ones, and I don’t trust that either.
