Ah, the inevitable point in the ‘streamline meetings’ initiative where someone feels there was not sufficient communication of an impending event. “Why were we not informed the numbers would look like this?” Well you cancelled the meetings where we had time to highlight that stuff and must have missed the bold/underlined section of our monthly/weekly analysis packets that specifically called it out.

Today all of HR got booked into an emergency meeting at lunchtime to further discuss the organisational restructure. Guess whose team now reports directly to the COO?

HR sent out an email this morning that there is a new, exciting partnership between my company and a local museum. From this partnership, we have a new employee benefit of "significantly discounted" tickets to the museum. Instead of $22 tickets, we can get them for $19. What can't I do with that significant $3 savings? The world is my oyster now.

Company I’m at was the big sponsor for a new baseball park for a little regional team, and all summer it was constant reminders to show up and go to games. No discount or anything.

I will sometimes start typing something and either realize I can resolve it myself or that I would rather suffer through it than talk to you. In either case, it’s always better to not receive a message than to receive it.

Literally my first day of moving to The Big City I was on a bus and a guy started shooting up on the seat next to me. It was quite the eye opener. Now if I take the train there are usually several around the station and it is nbd. Very few sex crimes though!

Goddamn. wow! Nice post/username combo too. Since it sounds like you are a manager and are going to need to rely on HR now and then.... maybe develop some sort of decent relationship with one of the non-local HR people. If this person hasn't already trashed the absolute poo poo out of you to everyone.

Volmarias posted:Paid? I have no idea why or how but it seems to be possible to be a mid level permanent employee and still be on an hourly/timesheet based pay scale if you're based in the US, this is at a US corp so idk if this is a common thing or not. Only way to do that here at a corp in socialist Europe is to be a contractor and even then you'd be on a day rate and wouldn't ever do overtime. My boss was like "the fact that he's on that scale means this problem is even more ridiculous than we thought". Powerful Two-Hander fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Dec 16, 2023 |

I'm sure this is an indictment of capitalism in some way but The fact that your ticket savings is more than the original price of a ticket here tells me you live in a major metropolitan area with diamond-encrusted T-rex bones, and not a mid-size midwestern city with the bones of a sparrow found on the road like myself.

It is not an IC position and my department is so lean it doesn’t exist in our structure, and honestly would have no functional purpose if it did. If it was created and I got it I would be sentencing myself to middle-management.

I'm an IT middle manager. 8 hours of videos + a hands on quiz for each section. I think an hour or two of introduction would be reasonable. Kind of like the intro I got when I started here.
