This arm would not come out of the mold. I don't remember the last time I got that mad at one of these things. I broke off two fingers pulling it out, and just threw that poo poo out of my office.

Jesus. This company can't figure out sales at all. They just fixate on getting one hype beer place to buy a keg. They don't seem to understand the need to build a loving foundation to work from. Like having a sales website and/or responding to sales inquiries in a timely fashion.

About to meet with my bosses to try and convince them that suddenly firing and trying to replace a long-standing employee will do more harm than good. Wish me luck. |

Hi work thread. I have a new job now, and it still has that new job shine. It's going pretty well so far, and I feel like even after the new wears off, it's going to continue to go well. The last job was going well, too, if I'm being honest. This seemed like a good move to make for my career, and like it would remove some of the barriers preventing me from being effective, since what I do is more of a priority for new job than it was for old job. It sort of sucks having to join a whole new team of co-workers when I'm almost 50 years old, but everybody I worked with at old job had left, so the prospect of fomenting new relationships was looming over my head in either case. I'm sorry I didn't organize those thoughts better. But the main point is I like my new job, thanks for listening. |

DaChurl posted:I genuinely never knew there was a term for it. Boy am I glad I read back a page, because hello, this is me, too. I never realized this feeling was linked to ADD (I was also told I didn't have the H, and I still believe that). I managed to turn that intense fear of being disliked into a professional strength, though, so I dunno. At some point having a name for a set of personality traits stops feeling helpful, and is more a curiosity. Not to diminish anybody else's struggle here, but for me personally, the ritalin allowed me to understand what "normal" was like, so that when I got off it, I was able to scrap together coping mechanisms that were a close enough approximation that things have been okay. Having lots of support at home and school probably played a big role, too. |

We have a job opening! Because we fired someone! No one wants to apply? Why??? It can't be because it's working directly for the guy that has complained and gotten the last 4 people fired! Those folks all filled wrongful term suits and the company settled out of court for an enormous amount of money. So.

It's wild how this company keeps repeating the (very bad) strategy of "All we need is one hit beer"/"all we need is to get a popular beer place to buy a keg from us"/"all we need is to get popular on Instagram"/etc., having it never work out because they just sort of expect it to happen without any actual effort, then repeating the cycle. The restaurant manager was telling me how he'll have more time to do this now. Fuckin' great. Let's just keep not getting anything done while getting in the way of sticking to anything resembling a production schedule. Now he keeps bringing up me "helping" him clean the filthy cold room. So sick of wiping his rear end.

Man, I thought the management at the brewpub I worked at was bad. At least your place wants good beer, though. Mine had glycol cooled beer lines that hadn't been properly cleaned in years and years when I got in there (cold caustic, no recirc pump just running chemical through from corny kegs, etc.). By that time, they needed replacement even if they'd been maintained correctly. Unfortunately, these lines were run under the floor and up through brick pillars to three cobraheads around the bar, so replacement would have cost about 15k, which they would not do. So no matter what I did, we had funky off flavors from the taps unless it got real busy and a lot of beer was flowing. On top of that, they wouldn't even let me buy new pressure gauges for the fermenters or bright tanks, so carbonation took a lot of careful guesswork, and if I got it wrong I had to force carbonate or try to de-carbonate 15 to 30 bbls of beer before serving... Then one day the owners asked me to pull 50 lbs of pale malt from every recipe for the same volume of beer, and said I couldn't make a new batch of barleywine. "We don't want to use up that much in ingredients for 5 bbls of beer," they said. I showed them the profit margin on that beer, and explained that we had people driving sometimes up to 2 hours to come get growlers of it, but they wouldn't budge. Sure enough, they ended up closing their doors within a few months due to having the rent on the space doubled (a whole other long story), and only let employees know a week prior. I could go on and on about all the dumb stuff they did. Hopefully in your place you have creative control over recipes and get to use high quality ingredients at least! |

Yeah. It could absolutely be worse. They give me a lot of free reign. Sometimes I have to make things they want, but it's not my place so I don't mind so long as I get to make the recipe and take care of everything in the brewery. It's just sort of frustrating to see them poop out just short of the finish line like every time.
