When building your company wide reputation with people outside of your direct management structure, the appearance of work is far more valuable than actual work.

May not apply to where you live but if it's in the US try looking up your state's unpaid wages claim form, you likely don't need a lawyer. I had to go through this in 2021 after missing 2 consecutive paychecks. The process was very effortless for me. I literally just had to type a paragraph about not receiving wages for two pay periods and the state industrial commission did the rest, I got checks in the mail a month or two later. Of course the job market is so poo poo these days that it took me 3 years to find a new job that wasn't absolute dog poo poo  but I have a very blessed job now.

Question to goons in manufacturing/chemical companies. I do interpretation for several clients in the smelting industry, I'm usually involved in a very specific project, or an unspecific overview. Every factory I've talked with (Japan, Indonesia, Canada)has an Engineering division and a Technology division. Please help me understand how these are different roles because it's not obvious to me as a casual visitor.

New guy to our group likes sending out work anniversary and birthday wishes. And while a nice gesture, those are two things I really don't care about. All his emails will do is make me mark all his emails as useless. He also has grandiose plans to help our process. I can't wait til the crushing realization, that we are forever attached to our respective product and the team is just a management game, comes crashing down on him. Those are always fun days. I continue to post my daily work log as haiku's and no one has said anything.

My last job had a new Director of Project Management quit after 3 months when he realized that the owner is a horrible micro manager and things would never change. His replacement joined the week after I left, and its been two months. I hear from former colleagues that the light is starting to leave his eyes and hes starting to come to the same realization. Its like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

in a hilarious new development, the music venue has a new assistant manager. external hire, of course. even though me and multiple other people all have management experience and for some even small business owning experience, it's easier to hire someone outside who doesn't know the industry at all than to replace what in most cases is a grunt or grunt+ position. her New Manager Establishing Dominance move was to create a "Spring Cleaning Program." nothing wrong with that on it's face. i offered to stay an hour after my shift to help out. she refused, saying i should clean as much as possible during my downtime. the issues with this are 1; most of my "downtime" is talking to my coworkers to coordinate what needs to be done to pick up after management and keep everything running at least vaguely smoothly, and getting prepped up for the next big rush 2; my MSDS and WHMIS are expired, i legally can't be just slopping cleaning chemicals wherever, and i was never asked to be able to do this when i was hired, and 3; i can't just leave my station to do impromptu janitorial. at any time a patron could approach with any number of needs or questions which obviously i have to be able to take care off, and there would just be unattended cash there. so you want to put me in a situation where the business could at best have some really unhappy customers, and at worst either me or the whole establishment would get in a ton of poo poo. you know, just stuff someone with previous management experience in the industry would actually know and be able to identify as extremely shortsighted. e: if she let me stay the hour, and get paid for it obvs, just to sweep up and do some rearranging and misc trash clearing and whatnot, i would have done it no questions. she wanted me to get a pail of industrial mystery cleaner and wipe down whatever i could while patrons were in the building, something that is not safe and i don't feel comfortable doing for a million reasons. we even have porters who are trained and certed in dealing with that stuff, they absolutely don't do it during active hours. maybe just hire a cleaning crew if it's so bad?

So, if you were announcing that you were letting someone go and it was an emotional thing for them, would you choose to do it at the beginning of a showcase meeting they'll be presenting at? My bosses just made a guy say his last goodbyes and then later in the meeting had him spend 20 minutes telling us about his latest good works for the company.

Tech usually refers to servers and the devices that will interact with them (to an extent but I'm trying to be inclusive enough to capture things like desktops/laptops/and simple devices such as RF guns) while engineering as it relates to crossover (so not a chemical engineer) would refer to complex mechanical systems and/or individual devices like robots on a factory floor.

While technology could either mean IT, or it could mean scientists who work on the actual chemicals and related manufacturing processes. But this is closest if you are talking about companies who are not silently dropping the "information" of their technology. Technology divisions are usually working on selecting, developing, and specifying manufacturing technologies to the engineering division who will incorporate them in their processing or production schemes. Anyone confusing them with IT will be forgiven because they usually report into an IT management schlub much more often than an engineering department who can usually luck into operations report structures.

Definitions are very unclear on Tech vs Engineering. And also influenced by translation and regional or industry usage. I mainly see Engineering being the people designing/producing the stuff that gets sold, and Technology making stuff for use by the company. So, I have seen chem-e or mech-e people getting called Technology guys by Software guys.

I mainly put information into a computer system that’s supposed to be smart enough to give clients benefits they need. This was supposed to be so easy you didn’t need to know anything but to slap the keys like a monkey and the computer would do the rest. To nobodies surprise my actual job is knowing policy well enough to do work arounds to get the dumb as poo poo system to do what I want. gently caress it I’m an engineer too.

Biplane posted:That's hosed up. TehRedWheelbarrow posted:oh my god. Squiggle posted:Wild. Absolute psycho poo poo. Yeah it's sitting really really badly with me even hours later. The worst part is there's an underlying implication with all of this that there was probably more going on at higher levels and this guy + a few others were scapegoated and sent packing. So no one is saying anything about it because everyone is basically relieved it wasn't them our company was acquired by a large corp last year, who was itself then also acquired by an even larger corp a few months later. the merger on top of a merger thing is an absolute clusterfuck and a lot of people are just being culled because the higher-ups can't figure out how to make everything fit together. There's pretty clear culture differences between the three companies that have been leading to clashes, and it looks like the shittiest, worst corp culture is going to be winning out.
