PostNouveau posted:lol you should have kept that job instead of going to college I considered it, but the postal service was dying then and even more so now, and because I don't live in the shithole country that is USA, I am student debt free, overpaid and even own a home. Going to college was a ridiculously good deal.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Almost all the mopping I did at different jobs either had to be done RIGHT THEN or was the absolute last thing that had to be done at the end of a long tiring day before going home. If you've got time and space to mop, and the floor isn't that dirty, and you're not utterly exhausted, yeah, mopping can be very zen. I loved mopping in the military for just this reason. the only downside was every rear end in a top hat who will give you their opinion about the best way to do it. the real zen therefore comes not with mopping where you can hear those assholes but with running the buffer. As a bonus you can see a beautiful shine at the end but really it’s that you look busy and it’s too loud for people to interrupt. in hindsight, I would have signed a four year enlistment to just mop wax and buff floors and then collect the GI bill afterward.

It's weird to me that that hasn't been completely outsourced to some custodial company belonging to some congressman's kid or whatever

I work in pretty skilled stagecraft, but when the show is over, struck, and loaded out, you can be sure as poo poo that all of us, even our local union-loving-president, are ready with a broom or a mop so we can all go the hell home. It's not that mopping is specifically the litmus test, but the willingness to do the shittiest work your colleagues also have to do, so that it can be less lovely for everyone, can be. I guess it helps that I work for a union and not directly for a for-profit company.

I have this friend of a friend who is a mechanical engineer. His company sent him to India to train the offshoring company how to make some widgets. Some things happened and now he has that same company slapping a label on candles they make oem for about 17 other companies that his wife was able to get into retailers using some contacts. He is now a multimillionaire thanks to telling one company to send stuff to another company.

A lot of managers work the exact same way. Hire someone with specific qualifications, experience and knowledge to do something, then for some idiotic reason try to tell them how to do their job rather than letting them do it.

I used to work at our largest customer and got some very nasty looks from my (then) new bosses when I tried to tell them "Here, the customer is literally literally always wrong, about everything. Never sell them what they ask for". They all learned sooner or later. (They learned very quickly that I wasn't lying when I said "Everything will get stolen if possible". On the very first day the product manager went for a smoke around the back, and left the door unlocked. Someone went and nicked his chair.)

God I feel that painfully deeply. I'm in IT and we were doing software installs by hand using a USB key for years and I've had to fight for getting an actual deployment system for a year and a half because we're already stretched thin supporting users; it literally would cost us nothing, but my boss is a. A perfect example of dunning-kruger and B. Refuses to learn anything in computing since 2005 and has decided that if she doesn't understand it I must not either. Since of course she's been ossifying her skill set for decades. The only real side benefit is that I'm doing the work of a sysadmin every day now and can hopefully put it on my resume to skip a few job titles between what I have and what should have.

Customer service propaganda has poisoned every industry. I’ve been a 911 medic for almost 15yrs now and the pervasive pressure to provide “exceptional customer service” is hilarious to me considering that our services should basically be reserved for people who are dying. I’m not saying it’s ok to be a dick, but maybe if you’re super concerned about your medic being friendly to you, you may not be sick enough to call 911.
