It seems like that with the exception of me and the new head of team brought in for my team the company hires kids and tells them they're getting "training" and keeps hammering home how lucky they are to even have jobs. We're a small company so losing two people is literally half the development team gone, and if they lost two from my team that's a 50% drop in revenue off the bat. It's legitimately depressing and I have made a huge mistake moving here. Enjoy your mountain of New Grad frankencode to maintain.

Well, microwaving fish officially doesn’t matter because a colleague broke out some Durian and has been eating it in the little two table break room. I wish I was making this up. Smell 2/10 would not consume.

Whenever I really start questioning why I hang around year after year, I make it to bonus season and they write me a check for approximately $Texas. Then I truck along happily for another 9 months or so until it starts to hurt again.  This year was $88,500ish. I really need a :goldenhandcuffs: emoticon or something.

: retrogames : is a fabulous name for that tag. Still a little sad that my grandmother threw out my "tiny television" I'd put in a box in the attic when I went off to college. It was a motherfucking VECTREX. Sundae fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Also I piled some work onto a reportee and the response from others has been "oh great!" Because it'll mean that they're not just doing everything, except for one who said "is he ok taking this on?" which threw me as a question because I nearly said "well he doesn't have a choice so..." and had to try and stumble something a bit more diplomatic. As best as I can tell, they seem to think that this is outside his area and I guess they think everyone should just be doing the one thing they do and that's it? I have no idea. This is the guy that doesn't seem to do much so it's not like he didn't have capacity.

A Manufacturing line went down today because methheads stole the power lines feeding the building. Meanwhile I've had to spend the day with our senior vp of sales and he can't figure out why our extremely talented and promising new hire left after he canceled raises, bonuses, training, and Christmas for the year.

Sundae posted:Did something happen involving chairs that I missed? Just reverted back to the prior thread title, cus yah, on second thought that was too drat dark. Even for me. It's from this post, where priznat was talking about his office converting cubes to a much denser standing desk layout. With piss partitions or something in between to make it somewhat bearable. priznat posted:lol no there will be partitions!

dense desk update: there are no piss partitions, but they are not sit/stand, only sit. However they do have fantastic views as they're facing out on a curved window section. They're actually pretty good for hotel type desks! Chairs are still for closers though

Brookfield Place Tower 1 used to* have great views from the urinals. You didn't actually face outwards, but the whole side wall of the mens' room (and presumably ladies', but not quite such a treat for them) was glass. * they frosted the glass after a few years. Not sure why, I would love to get someone from FM drunk one day and get the story.

Forget if I mentioned this here but the urinals at my work are possibly the worst I have ever encountered. Way too low with a flat base that makes it almost impossible to use without getting splashback all over the place. I just go into a stall instead. Not the one closest to the urinals as the splashback on those is so bad I heard that some folks got their shoes sprayed while sitting on that toilet, eww.

Forgot who it was but didn't someone ITT have toilet stalls with huge windows in the sides so you can see your colleague grimacing? Why bother even having walls at that point, just go full USMC.

At my old job the (brand new!) building was kitted out with toilets where the lid covered the flush so you had to put it down to flush them. This creates the nightmare scenario of entering the cubicle and having to lift the lid like a Pandora's box of poo poo.priznat posted:That is a human rights violation!! You can't cut back on toilets!

I put an hour and a half of focus time on my calendar that means I'll get to focus for an hour right? Right? nope instead you get 3 different high priority issues coming your way you need to help the team solve.

Eric the Mauve posted:If you don't think you can get away with an actual Unicomp, here you go: https://www.amazon.com/TECWARE-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Excellent/dp/B076YHBQYJ Holy crap this thing is so much better than the twice-the-price corsair. I'd go with the unicomp but they're super backordered and I really wanted backlight on this one because of where it's at/how it gets used. Eric the Mauve posted:I'm kinda curious how bad it will be so I'll take you up on that if no one else does. If someone likelier to actually use it a lot than I am wants it though it's all theirs. Yeah, drop me a PM if you're still interested. It really is garbage if you don't type perfectly hovered over all keys without touhing them especially the space bar. It's not clear why the keys have any travel at all, since it's just not required to activate them with the switches up that high and zero mechanical or audible feedback to indicate you have.
