So my previous employer at the airport is making it really hard to contact HR about sending my W2 to my current mailing address, Im giving them a week before I contact the IRS. I super dont miss working for them, they really loved trying to schedule me for 6 days of 14 hour workdays. gently caress them.

I hate those loving "personality test" things every employer thinks people dont just lie on, the worst ones repeat the same like 4 questions just worded differently to try and catch you out somehow.

I've seen what Oracle charges for Opera and I almost might not blame them if I also didn't know how much money hotels make.

I actually like Opera for the most part, but yeah given what I know about the greed of hotel owners I can believe it. Those fuckers would rather have a high front desk turnover than spend money on getting the desk like good equipment.

Welp just got my first "final notice warning", which reads like the front office maggot being a whiny marshmallo and complaining Im "unnaproachable and offputting". Oh and apprently theres all these complaints in the customer serveys that I have, even though zero of them mention me by name at all. Sounds like its time for me to gtfo before these fuckers shitcan me. Amusingly I have only been written up like once before for equally bullshit reasons.

It does give you the option of reporting whatever opinions about beer you decide they should have.

When I used to work in a theaterpub, I found that "volunteering" to sweep out the walk-in fridges/freezers or organizing the keg room was a good way to avoid actual work.
