I work in the biopharma packaging industry and holy poo poo is this ever a bad idea. Sterilization and septic connections are critical throughout the process and a single gently caress up can ruin a whole batch. There is no way to practically downscale the operation for home use like brewing beer or whatever.

Honestly, one of the big cost drivers in biopharm is lack of standardization. Every company does things their own way and require custom products with custom port locations, connector types, filters, etc. Some trade groups are starting to spring up to try and address this but there is a long way to go. A huge portion of my job is to make variations of single-use bags for a single customer with the hope that they will order maybe 100 a year.

Relating to the public school branding from a few pages back, I play basketball at a local middle school after hours and noticed at all the room/programs are sponsored by brands. I thought it was weird seeing "photography club brought to you by instagram" but never would have guessed how pervasive that was. Ugh.

Lambert posted:It's a great thing balloon manufacturers were lobbying the government to keep selling off the national helium reserve. I work in biopharma packaging and everyone wants leak testing to make sure there are no holes bigger than a handful of of microns. I'm struggling to convince them that extruded film doesn't have pinholes and any manufacturing defects will be big enough to detect using other methods but it's difficult.

Local Weather posted:I was hired at a foreign subsidiary of a major American corporation to build a specialized software system. During my project one of the other projects going on, one with substantially more attention from the top falls behind, like way behind. To try and fix this the company takes my entire development team and assigns them to the failing project. They then tell me that I have to present my project to corporate review as complete, we pass the review and are now in maintenance mode. The dev team I have been working with for two years proceed to all leave the company so not only does my project come to a screeching halt, the other project gets nothing from it. At my engineering job something happened a few months ago and now everything has to be scheduled down to the finest detail even when there are tons of unknowns and the leads times are total mysteries. Initially this lead to missing artificial deadlines which lead to wrist-slapping from upper management. So the next round we baked in a bunch of slack to account for unknowns the best we could. So we get accused of sandbagging and not working hard enough. Now we are being asked to document our hours worked on every individual thing down to the 15-minute block. There was a big team meeting today to inform us that "everything is critical and needs to move faster" and we are now expected to work from home, on weekends, and after hours. Oh, and none of these projects have actual customers identified yet. All this whip-cracking is totally self imposed and arbitrary.

I bought a $10 ring on Amazon the weekend before my wedding and only wore it that day. Now it sits on the trunk of a ceramic elephant on my mantle. I know a few other married guys that don't wear rings as well. Also I had no idea that a woman's engagement ring and wedding band were different things. She only has an engagement ring that I got at a small consignment shop.

Gorson posted:I made the point to HR and my GM that if the time entries are being fudged that the data gained from those time entries is meaningless and the entire thing should be scrapped, thus saving all those hours that go into time tracking and the gathering of data from it. Robo-HR then doubled down by ignoring logic and stating that it was one of my job duties to track time. I then told her the last person in my position to quit did so in large part due to time tracking (to be clear, I am obviously ok with tracking billable time) and asked her straight up if they were willing to lose employees due to it and after a quick reboot she responded with "yes". I shook my head, couldn't believe they would just come out and say it. I finally got a position where I don't need to track time (I'm loving salaried) but before that I just had a candid conversation with my boss that my limiting factor on output isn't time, its my ability to give a poo poo, and he let me just scale everything by that metric and multiply the percentages by 40 every week. Hours allocation is always stupid. always.

Peanut President posted:wasn't there some study done that people who played lacrosse where like 10x more likely to be hired due to a fault in the "ai" program? Probably just uncontrolled variable correlation with them being white and rich. e: related, when I was a junior in college I got a call to interview with a company I don't recall even submitting a resume with. Two other guys in my class also got the call and one had a car so he drove. This dude was the biggest try-hard in class and wore a nice suit to the interview whereas I wore a polo and cargo pants. On the car ride home I got a call like 15 minutes into the hour-and-a-half drive and he did not. It was very awkward. Salvor_Hardin has issued a correction as of 22:58 on Apr 11, 2022 |

One good thing about untracked PTO is it fixes the blurring of sick days and vacation days. Since its not tracked if you are sick you just don't go in without stressing about using up your finite days. Also random things like needing to be home for a sewer line fix or to sign for a delivery is easier than having to figure out if leaving at 2:30 needs to be tracked as a half-PTO day or whatever. Of course, this is all contingent on your boss being cool.

Failed Imagineer posted:Also not true in practice, actual sterility testing will have limits of quantitation in terms of TOC or cfu/ml or something. TOC is total organic carbon and CFUs are colony forming units, a measure of bioburden. What you want is Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterility_assurance_level For context, we target SAL 10^-6 for our sterility validation for the biopharma packaging products I design.
