xdice posted:I struggle with this one at times. I chalk it up to the difference between doing something tangible, as opposed to the intangible nature of a lot of IT work. Cooking, making coffee, things like that, there's a certain satisfaction in doing that task well. For me, if I build a hundred vm's perfectly, it's still an intangible thing to my brain and doesn't bring the same satisfaction as say, cooking a perfect grilled cheese sandwich. If your job is to monitor track 3 of the cup making machine's output line for defects then where's the feedback? There isn't any. So it's very important that you get regular, direct, positive feedback on your work in other ways. And no a monthly pizza party in lieu of a wage increase with a generic "good job everybody" banner does not count.

A company doesn't collapse like that because Carol the Company Carrier is earning 30% more than Steve the Seat Warmer. It collapses because Steve the Seat Warmer is earning 30% more than Carol the Company Carrier oh and also Steve is the boss's useless nephew. The budget for new hires expecting the new hires to be paid more is both extremely common and was the absolute death knell. Saying the problem was knowing each other's salaries is like saying the problem with Theranos was those damned whistleblowers. e: Atopian posted:It's not the transparency that's the problem, it's the loving.

Tex Avery posted:No, they absolutely are not. HR is there to mitigate circumstances that might allow an employee or former employee to sue the company. HR is not your friend. While they can do good things, they are no substitute for a union. HR will not negotiate a new contract to establish working conditions; they will merely enact a new contract without having to get input. The fact that this can happen is why you need union representation.

Animal-Mother posted:We get to have a big department meeting to address our communication problem. There is no communication problem, but we can't say that to the boss or he'll get mad he spent weeks of emotional energy on a non-existent problem. So we have to pretend to have this problem and then pretend we are solving it. This is a waste of time, but at least it makes me laugh.

Escape From Noise posted:The issues had practical fixes that people who liked it wouldn't have noticed. For example: using canned fruits in brewing is a bad idea because the fruit is in a syrup made from cane sugar. Cane sugar added to secondary, or at too high of a percentage in the boil has a very negative impact on the flavor, leading to a harsh, acetic sourness similar to white vinegar as well as an astringent bitterness. On top of that, the processing was running several cans of peaches through a lovely home use blender, slowly filling buckets, until it was done, then putting it in the tank, which risked contamination on top of the flavor stability concerns. The use of canned peaches in a different beer ruined the flavor so badly we had to dump it. I told them we needed puree but they'd convinced themselves otherwise. It's not my brewery and I get you have to slop the pigs, but there's a way to do things as safely as possible, mitigating contamination and flavor stability risks. I kept asking to change to puree so he told me to contact another brewer at a larger brewery and he'd contact another. Both said we should absolutely use puree. I think he was convinced they'd say it was fine.

Samuel L. Hacksaw posted:Why are business people so averse to talking about bad things with appropriate language? "Our company has dozens of opportunities" implies the status quo is good. Doing nothing is fine and taking advantage of an easily progressed glaring opportunity is a green mark on your sheet come bonus time.

Come to find out, someone had come in to check out the Halon system in the server room and hit the button. The Halon system released the gas, and immediately cut the power to the servers. That guy was not invited back into the building.

evilpicard posted:Question for someone in a big company - why do suppliers refuse to create work orders without a PO number? Is this just a computer thing? With PO number: Automated invoice comes in from supplier saying "10 widgets PO 12345 please pay $10". Some middle manager or entry level employee that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this but is for some reason involved in this process: "What's this? I'll look up the PO in our system, oh it exists OK I press money button" (please note this is an idealised scenario) Without PO number: Automated invoice comes in from supplier saying "10 widgets ordered by NAME from DEPARTMENT on DATE please pay $10". Some middle manager or entry level employee that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this but is for some reason involved in this process: "I don't know what this is or what it's for so I will deny payment and not ask or tell anyone about this ever" Everyone actually involved in raising the PO: "Why has our supplier stopped returning our calls" Splicer fucked around with this message at 01:08 on May 19, 2022 |

Batterypowered7 posted:Work is now implementing some sort of hybrid seating where you don't get a dedicated cube if you're not in-office at least three days a week. Instead, areas are going to be sectioned off for each director in the company and workers just pick a station to work at for the day or two they are in the office (no idea what this setup looks like). The thing is, the company owns the buildings we work at, so I'm not quite sure what this accomplishes. Like, if we were renting two buildings and decided that eliminating dedicated workspaces for each employee meant we could downsize to only renting one building, then that would make sense. I'm just not sure what the goal is here ultimately. My wife thinks maybe the company's gonna rent out the empty space to smaller companies, but I don't know. From a "somewhat real cost efficiency" perspective there may be some way for the company to get government money or save on insurance if they can mark a floor as "unoccupied", or there may be a reduction in OSHA or regulatory requirements. From a "complete bullshit cost efficiency" perspective they might be able to do weird accounting like marking them as "underutilised rental facilities" and oh look now they're a potential profit generator and the company's paper value just jumped 10% at the next stockholder meeting bonuses all around! e: the other benefit of an empty floor is you can refurbish the building with minimal disruption by refurbishing the empty floor then shoving everyone from the next floor into it Splicer fucked around with this message at 15:16 on May 22, 2022 |
