Sounds like someone's trying to 'innovate'. Watch out, Ravus, we got ourselves a Stockton Rush here.

Warranty had gotten some equipment sent back here to HQ for analysis. Customer is having erratic, intermittent problems. Warranty guy had a vendor field support guy come in to look at it. They spent all day yesterday trying to duplicate the issue and couldn't. Oh well, it happens with these intermittent issues. Then a different guy from the vendor, someone from corporate, starts looking at it trying to prove it's not their system. And by looking at it I mean taking things apart, ignoring me when I'm trying to get him to stop, trying to misdirect me when I ask him if he knows how to put it back together. So I call the warranty guy to get him involved. Now the warranty guy is mad at me for pulling him away from his desk. drat dude, sorry, next time I'll just let this guy tear your poo poo into a million little pieces and you can send it back to the customer in a box. Not my loving problem. I'm not the one who has to deal with the angry customer.

So the owners took the "ask for forgiveness, not permission" idea and forgot about the part where eventually you can't do that because that's how you accidentally a while fraud with a side of embezzlement as a treat. The $100+ on bras on the corp card are totes legit. Salami Surgeon posted:
Sounds like he voided the warranty if he's not authorized to inspect or make changes. Even if he is part of the company. Good luck on your double broken product.

If it’s not your problem and it’ll never be your problem then gently caress it just sit back and watch it fall over Only intervene if it saves you a headache down the line

I would personally care only enough to let the one guy know the other one is taking the equipment apart and maybe creating a headache for him. He can do what he wants with that info though, idgaf if he ignores the warning or not.

It’s hot. We’re an un-air-conditioned manufacturing plant with huge ovens so it’s about 115 on the floor. Also our uniforms are long sleeved. So yesterday the plant manager got the idea to get popsicles for everybody and called a meeting that started 15 minutes after management is supposed to go home. The discussion of popsicle logistics lasted close to an hour. It boiled down to Person A buy a chest freezer, person B buy popsicles before work tomorrow. But we took an hour to get there. Long discussions on popsicle types, what times to leave them out (I had to talk them out of their “don’t give third shift popsicles” plan), how often to do this. I have to say the popsicle distribution has been a success. But at what cost (over an hour of my free time)?

We don't have a trash compactor Margaret, and even if we did why do you think that upending your bowl into the sink, rinsing it off, and leaving it in the dish rack is acceptable? Why is there toilet paper on the ceiling in the bathroom, wht don't you loving animals FLUSH THE TOILET??????

Also my boss and one other co-worker have smokers, so one dish is almost always pulled pork or brisket chili

My least favourite department keeps trying to gently caress with my team by blaming us for things that are easily and irrefutably proven to be poo poo that they did. They’re mad that they got some buttons taken away because they kept loving things up with them, they got so salty and pissy about it that eventually my boss relented and gave the buttons back, and now they’re on a mission to prove they never should have been taken away except every time they flag something as wrong the audit trail inevitably shows it was one of their own dipshits that did it. Hopefully I get the green light to just switch their poo poo off again soon!

Arsenic Lupin posted:Re recruiting. I once flunked a job interview because my choice of hamburger toppings wasn't adventurous enough. Told me by the old friend who recommended me for the job. I've been in work lunches where I saw people pull lettuce off their burgs or pick out and push to the side vegetables in a stir fry or such and I wish a hiring manager had screened them for it cause they were exactly the kind of inflexible person you'd imagine would do such a thing in public.

There is absolutely zero correlation between not liking lettuce and being hard to work with that is an insane management brain ‘one weird trick to rank your employees teamwork tendencies’ take I work with a dude who is fussy as gently caress to the point that I hate having to go to work lunches with him because it’s painful watching him put the wait staff through hell with his bespoke order and he’s also one of the most easy breezy no problem co-workers I’ve ever had

I was being a bit tongue in cheek there but the coworkers I was referencing were quite childlike and fussy in their work interactions too. I could somewhat see the argument both ways, like you shouldn't have to put up with stuff you don't want to but if I had to make a venn diagram of "people I like to work with" and "people who turn a celebration work lunch into a logistical nightmare" there wouldn't be a lot of overlap. Flexibility is a nice trait among peers.

The last dude I worked with who would get all pissy when he got lettuce and tomat on his burger and would scream "I said NO SALAD" at the waitstaff ALSO was a massive racist, a piece of poo poo to work with, had to leave work early because he poo poo his pants on a regular basis, and had full-blown crying and screaming temper tantrums well into adulthood. So that system checks out to me, yeah.

you don't have an issue with his food pickiness, you have an issue with how much of a little bitch he was about it. I physically gag when I sense pieces of tomato in my food, I literally cannot stop it, and so I have to pick tomatoes off my food all the time even though I order everything with no tomatoes because 'no tomatoes' is apparently some strange phrase that every restaurant in the world somehow thinks means "please put tomatoes on what I ordered". but when it happens I just pick the tomatoes off, maybe roll my eyes, move on. if someone has a huge meltdown over something stupid and tiny like that then hell yeah i wouldnt want to work with them

It's mostly an excuse to tell a funny story about an adult man routinely making GBS threads his pants, and not an actual value judgment on anyone with food sensory issues.

My job in January: "We terminated the janitorial contract, take out your own trash" My job in July: "Why do we have so many fruit flies?" My dudes, we're all engineers, we don't clean up after ourselves. It's one of the big stereotypes about engineers.

I apologize for being insensitive about it, I was trying to riff off someone who got job screened for lack of topping adventurousness which is obviously a ridiculous situation I found humorous and wanted to relate it to my own experience with picky eat colleagues but I failed to consider it was a legitimate sore spot for some and that's on me.
