I mean, it's true that at that point you're extremely unlikely to spread or get covid. Still, what a stupid loving policy. Not everyone you see will instantly understand that you've been vaccinated. Masks until the whole workplace is vaccinated (assuming customers or others aren't coming through your workspace) would make a lot more sense.

Apparently, reporting lines are sooo last century.

We are forbidden from talking about who we report to or mentioning reporting lines. I am not making this up.

My sister is a video editor. She sent this screenshot with a caption like: "This is what you get when teenagers try to keep track of the versions!"

No clue how any of this worked. Different parts of the hospital overbilling other parts of the hospital for their services is weird.

So from the outside perspective, the government had dropped a contractor it was unhappy with and hired a new contractor to replace them. In real terms, nothing had changed except but a sign on the door and one new manager at the intermediary.

This is the economy lol.

Dumb poo poo from a previous job: I once negotiated for a pay rise. I was getting under market value and asked for about 12% I think, plus offered to take on some more responsibility. Their counteroffer was; you can have 6% but noone else in your department will get a pay rise this year.

Every month I have to manually message three people in the right order to unlock access to a database that I can’t do my job without. The access expires silently so once a month someone asks me to do something urgently and I suddenly can’t. In an effort to improve this, they made a Jira system to request access. Now I have to make a ticket AND manually message three people.

No matter how they insist to the contrary I always assume that those kind of "anonymous" employee surveys:

1) Are not anonymous and in fact carefully tracked

Finally got to actually implement a software solution to automate an hour or two of work done multiple times daily today and holy poo poo, let me tell you what a relief it is to make SOME progress on it, even if it isn't for me (for another coworker who's been doing manual Excel work). Actual improvement to a process.

... We find out Monday if she gets to keep it as a tool or not. Odds are she'll keep using it even if it gets shot down, because why the hell wouldn't you? The fact it's even a question is telling though. Meanwhile I just have to figure out how the VBA tools in Excel handle the UI so I can make it more user friendly at some point (instead of "run this script from the VBA editor").

I mean, dude still needed to do X.
If I were the dude, and assuming that X was a legitimate requirement of my position, I'd probably just hotkey up something to automatically open a ticket about it with a single keypress, then hit the button whenever I came up against that problem in the course of my work.

I've noticed something about the company I'm working for now. We have this whole thing where we are all (company name)-ians and collectively we're the (Company Name) Nation. In the past I would have looked upon such a thing with derision and scorn and in fact when I started with this organization the first time I ever heard it I was like "get a load of this" but after a while, once I decided that I actually liked working here I started to like the whole Nation and -ians thing.

At my last company I would have told them to shove it.

However, the largest contributor to our low hygiene score is that we don't disinfect our hands before dealing with patients, which again is a difficult thing to do because we don't deal with patients.

FYI youre supposed to make a criminally low bid without taking into account all sorts of stupid scenarios* outlined in the 'Assumptions' fine text. Once you have the job submit dozens of cost variations due to unforeseen circumstances.

* Poor weather
* Increasing base material costs
* Tuesdays
* Staff capacity issues
* Site access impediments
* Cows
* Fridays
* Other circumstances beyond our control

my email is now hidden behind two party authentication. to check emails i have to request they text my boss and wait for my boss to get back to me with the pass code to log in.
and i can't send emails now.
he blames me for "clicking emails".
the last time something hosed up he took away my administrative privileges so i can't even update my computer let alone download something.
i have no idea who he gets computer advice from but the only thing i can do on the computer now is surf online.
