Azuth0667 posted:C-suite made all of the upper management go to a leadership retreat and one of the dumb activities we did was some myers-briggs inventory questionnaire.

We just got a very angry email about respecting the integrity of personal development and everyone is confused about it. I just needed to reiterate that this loving rules. It reminds me of when I had a job at a dog food factory that I'd completely stopped giving a poo poo about because it was a disorganized hellhole, and they gave out little anonymous surveys asking people to rate management on their performance on a 1-10 scale. I gave them -3 on communication. In retrospect it was probably not as anonymous as I thought because I got fired a week later, but at that point I was just glad to be done with it.

She wouldn't drive because she doesnt trust the car to last, is now trying to buy a van because "Maybe she can sleep in it"  I'm glad you're away from what sounds like a walking disaster.

Volmarias posted:... I don't even understand what you're supposed to do here. Are you supposed to hear about how you gaslit a customer and explain how you would NEVER, and-, or are you supposed to pretend to gaslight a customer, or... ok so the scenario is something like, a contractor wants to rent a piece of equipment and is getting quotes. They say they aren't ready to make a reservation yet and my mission, forced to accept it, is to give a spiel inflicting FOMO and trying to upsell other equipment. Like, hardcore gaslight into making the reservation. When I get calls like that I'll ask them what they're doing on the job site and generally be a pleasant person and most of the time they call me back wanting to make the reservation. If they are operating solely off cost concerns they will never go with us anyhow. This poo poo is extremely American-focused for American stores where people with my job title are in a call center style building and expected to only say "yes we have x machine!!!" and it's another department's headache to find it. I am actually in the branch at the front desk. I have to source a machine if we don't have it, organize a long haul to get to the branch, coordinate with the techs to make sure it's ok, hand hold our driver through delivering it. Meanwhile the phone is ringing off the hook and I have 4 people in a line in front of me. I do not have time to record some dipshit video to feed their algorithm Shoehead, grats on getting the gently caress out!! I'm cosigning with everyone saying to block that bitch everywhere you can. It feels like A Lot now but trust me the only regret you'll have is not having done it sooner

Was it that he eats rear end like he is a pussy or are his linguseses identical? e: Oh I'm not the only one wondering quote:Turns out her mother had to leave her father on his deathbed to go pick the boss up because she wouldn't drive home or get a taxi and her entire family were very very angry with her.

She told a heap of clients this story (why? you come off terribly in it!) and maybe forgot that she told us, the staff that she'd missed him dying, in the end, she'd been too late. Which means her mother wasn't there with him when he went because she was busy picking her up Shoehead fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Nov 11, 2023 |

Congrats ShoeHead!!! I hope you can really decompress and face a sunnier future! And as of Monday I will be finalizing a new job as well to find out when I can give notice. I ended up with a choice of two places weirdly enough after months of attempts and I feel I have picked the one I will excel at and get back my composure not working in a call center environment and having smoke blown up my rear end by management. My departure is going to actually cripple them. I was talking to my old director (who pushed one of my job options) and he said this may put their backs up against the wall and address issues. I disagreed, I feel another will leave under the pressure then its 55 hour week minimums to just get the work done. All the while the regional head will keep saying "We will get through this" without doing ANYTHING constructive. and the VP above him is a self-involved rear end, if the work gets done, no reason for raises right? It's not capitalism, it's the capitalists. I get to sit at an actual desk, do actual work (because I am building new accounting procedures) and see the customers and the management and the whole darn process. No more being a drat cog for the foreseeable future. And get a 15K bump.

Salami Surgeon posted:Open enrollment. HR resets the healthcare portal password every year. No 2FA. Now here's the real question: what happens at your company when you don't make an election? At my company they just renew whatever plan you already had... except for that one year when they changed it and if you didn't sign in and pick something you just didn't have health insurance that year. Whole lotta crying at work that winter.

wash bucket posted:Now here's the real question: what happens at your company when you don't make an election? It should auto enroll you into the same plan. No changes in plans this year, so everything should be OK. Sometimes it's not and oops no health insurance. I always need to up my HSA contributions each year so I am sure to go through the complete enrollment. At another company I worked for, one year they wouldn't let you select your plan and instead made you answer survey questions and it'd select the plan for you. Eventually HR gave in to everyone screaming at them and said, "OK, fine, just email us and we'll set your selection for the same thing you had last year."

Salami Surgeon posted:Open enrollment. HR resets the healthcare portal password every year. No 2FA. Three years in a row, third insurance provider. All use employee navigator. Each required a new username and password. You could not use the same email address if it was tied to the account made for the last provider. We finally have good insurance because they tried to cheap out last year and the owners husband got brain cancer and the insurance rep just stopped answering their calls when they asked why the chemo was covered but the anti nausea meds weren't. This year we have good poo poo and it's only pennies more than last year. So very much, leopards ate my face over here.

I'm back from a three week vacation and it sounds like things were mostly smooth while I was gone. I always have that concern that I'll come back and find out I had some weird house of cards in place and it came crashing down while I was away. This morning a guy I've never heard of or talked to before asked if I had quotes back for two operations on a part number I've also never seen before. At first I thought maybe he sent me a request while I was away, but no, nothing came up in the search on either the part number or this particular guy's name. So I checked with my backup person, he was also in the dark about this. When I didn't respond immediately the guy started IMing me asking the same questions he had emailed me about. When I admitted to some confusion over this whole thing he responded with "Oh, no, I released it yesterday. Do you not have the files?" He somehow expected me to know that he had finalized drawings and had them approved and that I needed to go find them and send them to vendors for quotes. Like an hour later I had multiple people sending me emails with "hey, I know you are just back from vacation, but we really need the quotes for those two operations!" as the major thrust of the messages. One of them was my boss, who asked if I needed some additional help to ease back into work because I hadn't done what these people were requesting. In talking with her about this it came up that multiple designers were blaming me for not getting quotes back to the engineering leads. The full story is that they were new to the group and are all part of the same contracting company, they have no clue how all this works. Each assumed that everyone on the massive team just got their drawings when they were completed. Now the engineering lead has set up a call for tomorrow to figure out just how many drawings/operation sheets have been issued in the last month that were never sent on for quotes because no one could answer that question once we realized the problem.

It's a known problem with these dongles. Perverts go around scooping them up for their own gratification. That's why there are usually more missing dongles than missing mice. For obvious reasons, the mice aren't much use to them. What's even more offensive is how uncooperative the general public can be when trying to recover one's dongle. I lost one of mine a couple of weeks back and the responses to my "have you seen my dongle?" posters were unbelievably rude and categorically unhelpful.

Dameius posted:The best thing about blaming the guy on vacation is that he can't prove you wrong. Limited time offer only. Speaking of blame, that reminds me of a project I had where the client was doing continuous 24-hour construction over several years. Needless to say, the neighbors were not happy about that, and there were ongoing lawsuits over the noise. The client came to me and said that worker morale was low, so they wanted to mount speakers 50 feet in the air and play music at night that would be audible over the entire construction site. They wanted to know what setting to use on the volume knob so it wouldn't disturb the neighbors. I said I have no idea because 1) that's not in my scope of work; 2) I know fuckall about stereo equipment; 3) I would have to check whether that would violate any local ordinances; and 4) there is no way that wouldn't piss off the neighbors who are already suing the project. They said, we don't want you to do any research or investigation, just sign off on it so we can play music all night for the next several years. I said I'm not about to open myself to that kind of liability, and they don't need me to sign off on it because that's not in my scope. So they told the construction workers that I was the reason they couldn't play music.
