I think I posted it before (maybe in another thread?) But at my old job the new CTO send an entire company IT division wide email as CC, then sent it again because he missed the translation . Way to inspire confidence in your technical leadership. It was amazing that nobody sent a "please remove me from this mailing list" but I guess everyone in IT has some sense of self preservation.

No employee is a Person, intire of it selfe; every employee is a peece of the Departmente, a part of the maine; if a Meeting be washed away by the Sea, the Companie would be the lesse, as well as if EBITDA were, as well as if an Executive Bonuse of your Directore or of your C-Suite were; any Asse not in its Chaire diminishes me, because I am involved in the Companie; and therefore never send to know for whom the Teams notification dings; it dings for thee. (apologies to John Donne) Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Oct 13, 2023 |

Currently working on a project with one of those guys who responds to every chat message with “call me please” and it’s driving me insane. He also likes to call unsolicited/without any heads up. My dude, this is not how the world works anymore.

Lol Also seeing "employee" has made me mildly triggered about when I recently asked HR a tax question, and the reply forwarded back referred to me just as "EE" throughout. So loving dehumanising.

Real interesting to see global companies navigate their responses to world politics right now. My company has set up a pretty good donation match that includes both Israeli and Palestinian charities. I’m pleasantly surprised.

We have a branch in Israel so it's kind of a wash over here. It's not surprising we're taking sides when we have employees in Tel Aviv.

My company's donation portal gave me a "you are not eligible to access this page" message, presumably because I'm a filthy contractor.

I may be overly cynical with no trust remaining in my fellow humans, but I really think most of the people who insist on "just call me" are trying to ensure there is no record of what was agreed on. I worked at a place where the rear end in a top hat managers went on a big "stop emailing, just pick up the phone and get poo poo done" kick, and it went badly for the non-assholes. Ask them to send a summary before you act. Or at a minimum you send a summary "as we agreed on the phone, I'm going to do xyz".

The summary is critical - unless you both don't want to have a record of what was agreed on, which can definitely be useful to both parties at times.

They would always call asking for crazy things and never wanted a written record of their demands. Eventually I just stopped answering the phone when I saw it their caller ID and instead I would send them an IM saying, "Hi, I saw you called but I'm very busy at the moment, can you send me an email with your request?" I never got an email from them. They did eventually start calling my boss to try to force me to call them back, but my boss knew what they were up to and also just politely ask them to send an email.

Started my week by finding out that Big Corp is asking my manager to reduce the size of our team (we are contractors) and specifically mentioned me (because I was the last one to join). What a kick in the nuts, lol. In theory I would be assigned to another client but gonna start out sending CVs anyway, I think.

 E: Fun with matrix assessments: Many companies perform matrix risk assessments based on Severity x Occurrence Rate x Detectability. Given how many times I've injured myself playing soccer compared to the other two, I'd bet good money that the final matrix scores would put soccer at either the same or higher risk level than dangerous chemicals.
