I had my yearly performance review today. Last year the entire department quit and a new department was hired in. I was hired in a month later as a senior tech. All the junior techs quit a month after that because they were offered better pay and better hours in other companies. I keep the company from burning down solo for 5 months with no handover and documentation that's over a year out of date and spread between four different storage systems, interview new techs, get overruled on my recommendations because they want to hire the least experienced people possible for the lowest pay, spend a month training in the new techs and also continue to keep the company from burning down, get a new boss (foreshadowing), take my first time off longer than 48 hours since I joined, come back, fix the impressive number of things the that broke or were broken and also continue to train in the new techs and also continue to keep the company from burning down, get the new techs up to a level where they can do a meaningful amount of work without coming to me every 30 minutes, begin offloading tasks to them, deal with multiple major incidents as the pigeons come home to roost on a bunch of hackwork from the previous previous team, get the new techs up to a level where they can do a meaningful amount of work without coming to me every two hours, begin offloading more tasks to them, finally have time to start into pro-active support, begin prioritizing the hackwork that needs to be resolved, begin offloading pro-active support tasks onto the new techs, fully root cause the previous major incidents and identify a major process gap in the largest, most critical flow in the company with "call the lawyers" level unreported breaches occurring back to over literal years, report it, resolve the root cause, remediate the breaches, complete a whole bunch of major business requested projects in tandem with all of the above, have yearly review. "I put you down as "developing" because you're still "developing" into the role of team lead." Splicer fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Aug 9, 2023 |

You should have quit when everyone underneath you quit. That's a company with toxic management and it deserves to die.

Sounds like when my supervisor told me I needed to show more intensity when I asked about going full time after working part time for 4 years. I showed so much intensity I got a different job 2 weeks later because of that bullshit. Congrats fuckhead you need to train another person.

The lesson is to bake in critical fail points that only you know about and can periodically maintain. But it sounds like the company built those in for you. All hands abandon ship.

Sometimes you have to create the sparks on your way out the door. But sometimes you just have to stop putting out all the little fires as they crop up. No need to put a target on your back or create potential problems later. Just walk away and let the place self immolate. And if the OP somehow managed to do a good enough job standing things up from the previous ashes that it doesn’t fall apart one week after leaving, then the OP should be able to leverage that into landing in a good enough job to not care what happens to the previous place.

If I walked out the door now without updating the massive backlog of documentation-I've-found-that-isn't-true I think the place would burn down in a month, and it's taken me a year to pull that up from a week.

And it's not your job to care about that. They decided to have a single load-bearing employee, and then they decided to treat her/him like crap. *Insert consequences of my own actions TikTok*

~Coxy posted:That does not apply to joining your phone to company wifi. It's been said, but to be clear: 1: if you join your device to a secured company wifi network but don't do anything else special, then they probably can sniff your stuff if they make an effort, but probably can't mess with VPN traffic. This is the 'good' option. 2: if you join your device to an unsecured company wifi network but don't do anything else special, you're not going to have a good time. Don't join unsecured networks. 3: if the process of joining your device to the network involves "letting IT set up your device" in some special way, assume that your device has been pwned.

I connect my phone to the work network - the wifi network run by his majesty's UK government - and use as I normally would. There ain't enough IT staff to make key systems work, they ain't checking what I'm shitposting about. And if they are? gently caress it. Hi guys.

Saw a piece of advice for office small talk that was like, just say the day of the week and you'll be able to get along with anyone. and it's true. If someone asks you how you are, instead of hi, instead of talking about what you've done with the weekend, you can just say 'ugh it's Monday' and they'll move along 'Tuesday, Boo' 'Wednesday, Hump Day!' 'Thursday, almost the end of the week!'

I work in interior design on the sales/design side and actually enjoy working with my customers. We are allowed absolutely no texting with them despite it being a very efficient way to communicate AND provides a written record. Also our meetings consist of talking about various issues regarding communication breakdowns with customers.

My first official day at my new job is next Monday but they've already sent me electronic forms to sign including, of course, my employment contract. Everything seems great about it! The benefits are, relatively, generous and everything seems to be a complete 180 from my previous employer. Awesome! Except, it states my employment is at-will. Not even for a probationary period, I can be fired at any time for any legal reason for the entirety of my time being employed there. When I asked HR about whether or not this was probationary they said it was not and that they do it because California "is an at-will state." Unless I am misinformed/ignorant here California ALLOWS you to do this lovely practice but there is nothing stopping you from NOT doing it, which feels like an important distinction. How people think this state is full of communists is wild we literally have some of the most regressive laws. Edit: Having done digging on glassdoor it appears the company doesn't have a particularly itchy trigger finger and is generally very good to their employees but the language just irked me a bit.

We love you and respect you and will always act in good faith. Also we explicitly reserve the right to treat you like subhuman trash without warning. This is totally normal don't think about it.

It sounds like she has untreated/unmanaged depression such that she can probably barely stand to get out of bed and her employer logs her keystrokes. That whole story loving sucks.

~170 hr month she didn't record a single keystroke for 140 hrs. Yikes.
