I sent a Teams message to my partner and my boss letting them know a certain report was done.

My partner accidently used the same chat window to ask me a one on one question about our schedule for two weeks from now and I made a dismissively pessimistic remark thinking it was our private chat :gonk:

One day I'm just going to let the empty kegs that the bartenders refuse to move pile up, and then when it's time to do our next transfer or racking out just shrug and say, "I dunno, nobody put any empties outside so I guess we don't have any empties, so I guess we can't brew!"

I mean, I won't do that because I give a poo poo, but it's nice to think about.

One of the few non-dumb things my company has done recently - They apparently adjusted their drug testing policy so the lab work they order omits weed. Though they haven't actually announced it.

So I guess I can :2bong: if I want.

Yeah, I think testing for weed should be largely outmoded by now. Here's a question, when they check for alcohol in a drug test, would it have to be to the point where you've been drunk in the last day or does it go back further than that?

Uusally they test at 0.5 or 03, unless you're hosed up drunk you can usually blow clean within 24 hours, usually the following day.

Yeah, generally speaking HR's job is to prevent lawsuits, not create them.

The most recent place i worked has a policy where if you have to use the restroom outside of scheduled breaks, you request a medical accommodation and HR will allow you to have an extra, unpaid break. I learned from this very thread that it is illegal to dock wages due to bathroom breaks, but they found a way around it.

At another job, after a very aggressive HR rep gave me some metaphor about how the corporation is a machine and I am a cog, I had to file a report with the ethics board to get the team lead and manager to do one of the jobs they are supposed to do. ‘Cause nobody was doing it and it meant people were not receiving necessary health care services.

Yeah it decided has it's own logic to it, you just have to actively not give a gently caress about the impact it might have on your colleagues as well

And they don't give a gently caress about that, so I guess it's all gravy v:smith:v

600 degrees celsius is different from 400 degrees celsius. If you understand this, you know better than day shift.

Now CVDs aren’t designed to sit at that temp for hours at a time, and as it’s sloooooowly cooling down a bunch of specialists are lined up to figure out how bad it is.

Part of the problem is that the software just stopped displaying temps above 405. Why? Who knows! It still tracked the temps in the configs, it seems the software wasn’t designed to handle being 50% above maximum operating temperature.

It’s loving bad, people are asking why it’s even possible for a CVD to get that high. It seems some alarm settings were altered to allow it to get so hot.

Edit: I should specify, this CVD doesn’t get that hot, we have ones that do, which is probably why you can set the temperature that high in the first place.

Just be aware of your poo poo and don't sell yourself short . A long time ago I ended up looking for a job in IT and only applied for a Sr job because a friend talked me into it because I barely met the requirements. I applied for an entry level one at the same time and ended up first on both lists. Don't sell yourself short. Apply for the job even if you don't think you might qualify. Then go crush that loving practical and interview. A lot of people are better then they think they are.

Jesus it’s so much worse than I thought. There’s a software coefficient to convert current through the heater to temperature, and dayshift entered it wrong. It was off by a factor of 133. The machine was trying to reach a temp of 53,200 celsius. Yesterday we had an all hands meeting because a clipped zip tie fell under the observation window before a high temp process, I can’t imagine what will happen when dayshift gets here.

Blame will slide off them and onto someone else as its not possibly their fault to gently caress up so bad. The tool was broke. The process is wrong. The papers were crumpled and illegible. Math is more of a suggestion than a rule. Someone on some other shift stole the good pen. They cant actually be expected to follow the procedure in its entirety thats absurd.
