shower thought: i've personally buried at leeeeast 300 people and arranged the burials of like triple that and then probably sold double that many graves weird lol cruft posted:I mean, it's kind of the thread's premise, innit. I try to toss in "actually things are going okay" stories once in a while, but it feels kind of tone deaf to do that in this sea of misery. yeah but work, or maybe coworkers, or some aspect of something vaguely related to work can still be funny and stuff so just post regardless

rear end-penny posted:I mean, it sounds like formatting this document is going to be a massive productivity sink anyway, I understand not wanting to write out contracts, especially if the language has already been approved. It absolutely was. One of the signature pages, which, of course, are the last page of each section, had four "continuous section" breaks between different rows of the table they had created. WHY. It turned out to be impossible to correct, so I had to make that page its own section and hope there isn't any nonsense from the reviewers about it. Both my boss and I were seething - me, because it kept me from important work plus my hands were aching, her, because she already was dealing with multiple contracts AND the people who wrote this stupid contract were sending whiney messages asking when they were going to get it back for signatures. Frankly amazed my boss didn't drive over there with a stout and thorny stick. This contractor keeps finding new ways to infuriate us both; it almost impressive.

Aww, I was looking forward to almost no emails for a week. Although I guess our clients could've panicked and just went more emails about the shutdown to compensate for the lack of emails from various govt agencies. Ah, whatever. The last couple times we had a shutdown it was mostly just boring but my bosses keep freaking out about new ones anyway. At least now they won't be so on edge. |

Getting older loving sucks like that. Not so long ago I had to take a day off of work because my back hurts too much. I think it was from lifting kegs at an angle?

JFC. Doing inventory and the restaurant manager left a cleaning keg full of water and caustic on a shelf. Not only is that loving dangerous as hell, cold caustic is pretty ineffective at cleaning.

It'd be great if these chucklefucks could at least loving comprehend just a little bit what a goddamn production schedule is, why it's important to set up and follow as closely as is reasonably possible, the prep required to get everything in order, and that the vast majority of beers take a little over four weeks at minimum! It'd also be rad if we could do anything to address the lack of cold storage space and kegs, but we're operating in the red and the company doesn't want to spend more money until we turn a profit. Good thing we're limited to like two beers a month though. We'll definitely become profitable that way. Any scheduling I try and put together constantly falls apart because of the company's loving special projects they spring on me with zero notice,.gently caress up the rest of the schedule by getting in the way of any beers already in the tanks, and take up space and kegs I don't have. But don't worry! It won't take up any of our walk-in space! They'll store it at the restaurant I'm making the beer for! Spoiler: This will not happen. I'll always have to store the majority of the beer here as they pick up a few kegs every week or so. I'm in a catch 22. I need to make the brewery profitable in order to get the company to invest in more kegs and cold room space but that's not going to happen with such limited basic resources like lack of kegs and cold storage. They are incapable of promoting the beer in house and won't get rid of the macro safety blanket. Meanwhile there's nobody taking care of sales. Even if there were nobody is buying from us after the piss poor customer service we've given. Also we don't have nearly enough kegs for regular larger volume outside sales. TLDR: gently caress A JOB!

Management's inability to follow production schedules I lay out with a grid by tank is going to give me a loving aneurysm. Today it was suggested I lay out my monthly production schedule IN SENTENCES! WHAT THE ACTUAL gently caress??? That's so much harder to follow and so much more work for something they routinely ignore immediately after viewing!

I took the last couple days off and I'm here now and a lot of stuff has moved around. I think they want to move production into the main area so that they can supervise via a security camera. it's lame and I am going to quit as soon as I can |

Farecoal posted:Sorry but we need it in the form of a sonnet Haha. At least it was just a suggestion from the restaurant as a way to get management to remember the schedule. It won't though and I'm absolutely not doing that. It's extra work in a far more difficult to understand format.

For a long, long time, I thought "losing sleep over X" was just a saying. A few weeks ago I realized that when I wake up in the middle of the night agitated about something, or when I can't get to sleep because I'm trembling from anger and stress, that is literally losing sleep over something. Anyway, I'm losing sleep over this lovely situation at work. I'm being stabbed in the back by two people I hired and mentored, and it feels really bad. They appear to have forced me out of the program I created from scratch 12 years ago and have been building ever since. Ironically, the program is about bringing people together to collaborate on shared goals. Not sure how this survives a hostile leadership takeover. Maybe they're not thinking that far ahead. I'll be fine. I actually have some bigger stuff coming my way: I would have had to hand over the reins on this thing anyhow. They don't know this, though. They're just being power-hungry assholes. It sucks to be betrayed by somebody you spent so much time and energy trying to elevate, and I'm losing sleep over it. I wish I could focus on the fact that this all kind of works out and I have exciting things to look forward to, but all I can think about is how hurt I feel. |

I thought you started a new job this year, was I way wrong about that? anyway, if you made it this long thinking that was a figure I'd speech I'd say you're doing pretty good. I'm up at night stressing about all kinds of dumb poo poo. sorry your people are shitheads but I meet lovely people all of the time, people are not good.

In reality, they probably don't think they're being assholes. Maybe they think I'm the rear end in a top hat. I have a hard time understanding what's motivating this behavior, I would never do this to someone. But I have to assume they're not rubbing their hands together and cackling in a dark room. |

It's been 4 months and I'm still glad I switched jobs, despite all the bullshit fallout. Today I appear to have officially landed the new program.  I've been working out of the car most of the day, in the parking lot of a library next to a rose garden. Ruby's in the back seat taking a nap. We're waiting for ms cruft to be done with class for the day, then we'll check into her rental. It's not the best work setup, but it's a pleasant change for today. |
