I think it's a race to see if she can get you to leave before the contract ends so she can claim a victory of some kind.

Do you have to stay until the end of the contract, or can you fart around at home? Because you can't pierce without a potable water source...

Sit tight for a second, accounts payable is setting up a new account to book your hours too but there's a two hour meeting scheduled tomorrow with some VP's to determine if it's a pit or a hole. Can't name the account until then, so just remember how much time you spent in it till then.

NFT/Crypto/AI enthusiast boss posted his tepid review of the "man-hating" Barbie movie in our Teams Movie & Music chat. The lack of any reacts in our react-happy team is pretty telling. You don't have to like the movie, but it read like a copy/paste of a Muskman's Twitter screed.

The agency that I work for talks a big game on diversity and inclusion and our team is mostly millennial or younger women, so hopefully this is a paver on his path outta here.

God drat I hate scheduling meetings with people.

People declining a recurring meeting because they have one conflict.
People declining because "they are busy during this time" but their calendar is completely open.
People not sending a cancelation when they were supposed to present.

Oh well. I guess this meeting can now be dozens of email chains instead.

Great, now people for some reason are working ahead and finalizing their work now instead of waiting two weeks for test results to come in. Some reason: everyone not in the meeting are sending vague emails to each other and not following the plan from the meeting.

Somewhat related: Quite a few years back we were consolidating floors because we had started telecommuting and also post-2008 had lost an assload of positions to attrition. In addition they wanted to remodel some of the empty space. We were told "we'll let you know when this is going to happen." I come in on my office day, and the floor is entirely empty. Not a single chair or desk. I don't have anyone's number to call - in fact I think back then I didn't even have a cell phone. I think I finally ended up going to our admin floor and asking where the hell my team was. Turned out they just decided to move everyone spur of the moment, didn't send an email and didn't think to let anyone know where we'd moved to. Nor did anyone on my goddamn team think to pass the info along.

I was really tempted to just sit on the floor and do nothing and then when asked where I was that day say "up on 12 since nobody decided it was important to let those of us who weren't in the office know wtf was going on."

Head as far south as you can. Try and avoid Israeli missiles and bombs. Wait for further instructions from the State Department or your own Goverment if not a US citizen.


Alternatively, if you are in Ukraine, surrender to the nearest Ukrainian Armed Forces drone.

I am going to be moved off my program once I get back from vacation because I have maybe another couple weeks of work to get this thing where it needs to be. My boss has been going to various purchasing groups to get someone to take this over full time and every one has rejected it, which is understandable. I may be coming back to a new job and a bunch of handoff work or business as usual. I'm very much done with this thing, so it probably means back to the cluster headaches when someone asks the word Operation be inserted in place of OP on an order.

So after the general Headcount cut across the company the clearly predictable aftershock s of people leaving 2 months later have started. Because without a clear economic reason or other hard evidence many people will know you did it to pad cashflow and are lying liars.
It has only hit near me (our payroll group) but with a strong result from two jobs I have in the running (one of them id from my old director is is a catagorically smart and good manager) it is clear I will be one of them as well out the door and it is going to do worse than cripple my department. I cannot care anymore.

Conversation with boss about "Did they plan for this inevitablitiy?" Nope. She is aghast at this fact of no planning.
But
Same boss in a general meeting with her boss, our untrustworthy regional head talked about "Come to us with issues, we are flexible"

Payroll person mentioned above was in South America and the new "3 in office, 2-out" that was shoved down our throats with "If you do not like it leave" was being killed by terrible public transport times and schedules. So saying you will be flexible after a companywide "Eat poo poo" message is incredible bullshit.

My exit interview if any will be so cathartic. Not a single swear said but the venom will be in buckets.
I'd love to just get fired but even with my ex-director pushing me to get hired elsewhere is not a slam dunk. ANYTHING can go wrong in my experience.

Just a week, week and a half for 2 interviews to get schedulled and done and I am in. Almost feeling happy again.


Only thing I have to avoid is any possible "This is a anti-semite decision leaving at this time" getting stamped on me since the company is Israeli owned. Rationally it should not be remotely an issue (Because I am not) but given the linkedIn postings from upper managers on the current war.....hoo boy it is a real possibility.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

Dumb poo poo my work does: remind my coworker-turned-manager that he's supposed to have biweekly meetings with all his team members about how they're doing mentally, physically and work-wise. This poor guy is already overworking himself to the point of insomnia, and the exhaustion really showed in his message that he will now be spending 30min with me and two other people, every two weeks, to ask us how we're doing.

This guy is 10 younger than me and I can in no way relate to him.
