My job just blasts people's fullz in a Teams chat when people need ID verification done for phone number changes (only a few leads have access to lexisnexis), and it's insane to me, watching people just post someone's name, DOB and SSN in a teams chat with like 150 other people.

Previous job, it was policy to immediately lock your PC if you stepped away due to us working with sensitive info. If you didn't, there were a few people around who would catch it and then change your wallpaper and cursor and icons to unicorns before you got back. One guy carried around a USB drive he'd plug in that would basically change everything on your PC into unicorns in an instant. The CEO even noticed me forgetting it once and I got back to my PC being vandalized and he thought it was the funniest thing. It was a dumb, silly company punishment practice that we all found comical, me included, but it was still somewhat annoying to come back to your desk after getting a cup of water and having to de-unicorn everything.

I liked being more subtle, I'd just google a giant image of a lock and then lock the PC.

We did Rick James, Lisa Frank, or a unicorn with the words "Thug Life" tattooed on it. Most laugh and change it back. Except for one guy who decided to keep the Thug Life unicorn for about a year.

The standard at my old job (I am now officially redundant as of Dec 31 lol) was a company-wide email professing your undying love of the CEO and your wish to have his children. HR found it hilarious (she was drunk most of the time apparently).

I've had that job too.  it was all good fun. At another job, they had standard desktop builds or something where the "rotate desktop 90 degrees" keyboard shortcut for certain gfx cards worked on all of them. So then you'd come back to an upside-down desktop after forgetting to lock your pc. 🙃

I should clarify again so I don’t get too much undeserved sympathy, I’m not on Hangzhou, she’s one of our sister ships in class on this particular run. The intensely stupid thing about this situation is not only did Maersk and Maersk alone decide to restart Red Sea transits and provoke a response from the Houthis wanting to send a message, they chose to start by sending a loving H-class. The H-class ships are all on looping runs from China to the Adriatic with, up until the current conflict, a port call in Haifa. So not only did these clods decide to paint a target on our ships they decided to do it by sending in the ships who are only behind literally Israeli owned vessels on the big huge poo poo list of Iranian/Houthi grievances. Regarding high risk/warlike areas (which are treated differently) the last guidance which hasn’t been updated is that 20nm off Yemen is considered a warlike area except if you’re in the security transit corridor which doesn’t count. You can see exactly how secure it is. It’s currently the source of near mutiny amongst our crews because a lot of our rights regarding refusal and obligatory repatriation upon request are dependent on the warlike area classification. As for extra money you get double pay in a warlike area for the days you’re in it so you know, lol lmao definitely worth getting bombed and shot. Currently barrelling towards the same location on the other H-boat which I won’t name while the office fucks around with a “48hr pause”, all of the officers and crew are in full mutiny mode including the captain and I really don’t think Maersk understands how close they are to full blown rebellion on this one if they choose to keep ordering ships in after this colossal gently caress up. H-classes are bloody cursed enough as it is, you might remember the Honam which I’ve also done my time onboard after the name change which they did to try and memory hole the other time they got a bunch of people killed with stupidity.

OK, so this got me to google that because I've been on a little bit of a marine disaster kick as of late. First off, that sounds like a clusterfuck, and like it was totally due to them improperly securing/storing some nasty chemicals if I'm reading it right? Second: quote:To recover costs, the ship's owner declared general average, a long-held principle where cargo owners are expected to pay a fraction of their shipment's value to compensate salvage efforts. The value decided by an adjustor amounted to a salvage security of 42.5% of cargo value in addition to an 11.5% deposit, meaning owners of the remaining cargo had to pay a total of 54% of their cargo's value before being able to take possession of it LMAO they can loving do that?!? Their ship burns down so they hold the charred remains of your cargo - that you were paying them to move - hostage to defray the cost?

I'm assuming from context that the nm here is "nautical miles" but I gotta tell you, on first read I thought you have the worlds most precise guidance on whats considered a warlike area.

Now look up how damages are calculated if the company fucks up and the crew dies. The total compensation pool is capped at the current value of the ship, which is the scrap value since it's on the bottom of the ocean.

It's stupid on both sides. I once had a ship drop off radar in the Pacific. Not like anything bad happened, it was just going slow and hadn't pinged in a few days so tracking just dropped off and was ????? For ETA. I update our sales and ops teams just in case it spins out into something severe. The God drat sales VP goes "what can we do about this?". My boss gave me a talking to after I replied with "Unless you've got your helicopter license, not much. And if you do, I think search and rescue takes precedence over your missing dollar store greeblies." So it's loving stupid on both ends.

One thing I know everyone in my branch of the company had to absolutely love is that there was a new owner company, new managers, new team reconfigurations every few months. Oh we're switching to Lean Six Sigma now? <4 months later when the new managers arrive> Ok, Lean Six Sigma is now banned here and now that guy who has a habit of picking his nose all day across from you is the new supervisor. Ok no, that guy is fired and now we're using "Tshirt sizes" for all projects. No, wait, scrap that. We have a new manager and they want to integrate agile with fruit categorizations of projects. Yes, fruit. Like a "grape" project was easy but a "coconut" project would be difficult. No wait, scrap that. The new manager this month wants to go back to waterfall instead of agile. Hey, anyone know why there's so little productivity here? Again, the same company I've mentioned here where one of the most recent Glassdoor reviews says to "run. don't walk away"
