Its very hard to keep some embezzlement scheme going if someone else has to do your job for a while.00 Was that introduced after Nick Leeson brought down Barings Bank?

deep dish peat moss posted:That's when I finally got frustrated enough to quit on the spot. I've asked them three times how/where I can send back my company laptop (they've closed the office I worked in since switching to WFH) and each time they say they'll send me something in the mail and then never do, so now I'm stuck lugging this lovely macbook around forever in case they suddenly decide they want it back one day. Set them a fixed date at which they must have provided you the means to return their property. Charge them for storage if they don't comply.

Most of our management staff have been gleefully wandering around mask-free since last week, and apparently now some of the sub-managers have a floating-desk policy. Got to spend most of the day near one of them, and he's not only ecstatic about breathing all over the place, he's the kind of dudebro who hears that someone doesn't listen to Joe Rogan and listens twice as hard to make up for them.

CaptainSarcastic posted:My personal game was to apologize but never hang up. "I understand. I'm terribly sorry." Things along those lines while they worked themselves up further and further. It was glorious. Like, if you're mad that I called you why won't you hang up the phone? I'd just keep apologizing until they became incoherent and slammed the phone done, and my day would be improved. My personal game is to hold the phone up to my smoke detector and let it beep a few times before hanging up. Just because I don’t have anything louder and more obnoxious.

Escape From Noise posted:So, from my understanding it's a relatively new tradition in Berlin to serve Berliner weisse (wheat beer soured pre boil with lactobacillus) with flavored syrups (like the ones you'd use for Italian sodas). I'd imagine it kind of works because Berliner weisse has a semi sweet, tart flavor similar to fresh squeezed lemonade. You also see this with cheaper flavored lambics sometimes where young lambic beers are flavored with fruit syrup at bottling. New tradition? I sometimes drank Weisse mit Schuss as a kid, nearly half a century ago, and it wasn't new back then.

MrQwerty posted:lol I got a history degree and ended up making drugs in a cleanroom afterward because I didn't want to be a teacher; then got a job doing microsoldering on accident after throwing out random applications flat broke, because I learned to solder from my grandpa making intricate stained glass. That reminds me of, when I was into electronics as a kid, my grandpa once tried to give me a couple of soldering irons and some solder. The copper kind of soldering "iron" that you heat up with a blowtorch. And sticks of solder that probably weighed half a kilo each, looked half melted already, and which I’m fairly sure were more than 50% lead. I'm sure they would have been fine for plumbing work…

Barudak posted:I promise it is a normal industry and that I have never directly killed anyone. When we got bought by a Japanese competitor, the most noticeable change in the mandatory yearly anti-bribery training was the specific inclusion of an item about not making payments to "anti-social organisations" and not buying "literature" from them. That latter is apparently how protection money is being disguised.
