wilderthanmild posted:Not him unless he completely changed appearance, name, and accent. I was actually really shocked to find out how common this whole "digital nomad" thing is either as a fantasy or a reality. You can make it work, and you can make it work well. The same way you can go to Japan to teach english, or go to Korea to do whatever ex-pat bullshit they have a lock on. Or go to Thailand for....reasons. You can get a 40 hour a week lovely IT job paying $40k with no benefits and live fairly well in a lot of the lower cost of living areas. All you need is a laptop, internet, and the willingness to either work from 11 PM to 8 am every day, or finding a job that lets you do your computer janitoring/code touching after normal business hours. But like most of those people who post about going to Japan to teach english, they learn it sucks, it's not for them, and they quit and go back home.

TotalLossBrain posted:At a previous job, we had "sales engineers". They didn't have the best reputation amongst other engineering staff. Really all depends on the engineer. A good one is able to reign in the rear end in a top hat sales guy who will promise a from-scratch CRM in 4 months, despite the fact that your company's product is IoT hog feed dispensers. A bad one just nods along with whatever, then fucks off to play golf or sleep in his car.

Remulak posted:No corkage fees? I loved it when some rich dude brought in e.g. some magnum or jeroboam (e.g. https://shopsk.com/products/perrier...8saAiUjEALw_wcB) then that's a $100+ corkage fee straight to the service staff. Corkage is a very common thing is most restaurants, where for $25 or whatever they'll take the wine you brought, pop the top and put it in a wine decanter for you. It's a hell of a deal if you have a bottle of something you know you like that you get for $40 at Costco, but it's $130/bottle at the restaurant. It would be odd not to have it as an option, but I could see a few reasons why a location wouldn't want outside food or drink, full stop. Like insurance or licensing reasons.

Aramoro posted:Everyone in our company has to take anti-bribery and corruption training which is all multiple choice. C, depending on the current negotiation, legal framework in your country of business, and ongoing drama, it might be a sound management decision to take the bribe in a way that's recorded and use it to extort better terms out of them. Best to ask management if a business ratfucking can be facilitated. Also be sure to ask in writing, so if they decide to push you under the bus if there is blowback, you can state that you did so under orders.

WonkyBob posted:You're a better person than I. I'd email the HR heads direct report (CCing them in) and say "including HR in this report is three additional days of work. As it is non-essential I will require it to be correctly formatted when sent to me or, going forward, it will not be included as it is costing the company X amount of money". His place of work sounds like the kind of place where the head of HR would take a look at that, blow his loving stack, then twist it to be an attack on his Boss's Boss's competence, and sic some C-level pettiness on him. The only way to get that to stop would be to fail miserably and abjectly to get the report done on time, then shove every bit of HR's bullshit at everyone in an attempt to shove HR under the bus, which depending on a ton of corporate culture and propensity towards ratfucking each other, could blow back way harder on Cyrano than on the HR dipshit. Sadly, bitching about it here and enjoying a beer is probably about the most productive thing he can do in the immediate term.

I'll do what I'm asked, but with something like an imperial stout that's so much time and effort, I'd like to make something less crazy. Cheese Danish Stout Orange Marshmallow Peep Stout Smoked Pulled Pork Stout Septuple Hopped IPA Zero Carb Pilsner Salmon Doppelbock And I dunno, the usual boring/cheap/easy beers everyone always buys 4 pitchers of on game night.

goatsestretchgoals posted:If poo poo broke on Monday at 7am, we would have a band aid before noon. IDK what that band aid looks like but it’s probably ugly as poo poo. The band-aid is a big piece of grease stained duct tape, with the faded word 'gently caress' written on it in sharpie. It's been there for years, you're pretty sure the other pieces of tape are covering up other words, and nobody has the time, money or give a poo poo to carefully peel it all off and fix what originally broke.

Outrail posted:Removing any of the bandaids causes the system to shut down. Nobody understands why except an 89 year old living in southern Guatamala, who can only be contacted three days a month via passenger pigeon delivered messages. The correct days in which to contact him can only be determined via a complex system of auguries, horoscopes, and Zodiac Killer cryptograms. If the pigeon is dispatched on an incorrect day, it's is ritualistically fed to the dark creatures responsible for continued uptime, and you are invoiced for 'emergency response to trouble ticket'.

Outrail posted:After factoring in the cost of de-extinctifying passanger pigeons the CEO still thinks this is better than actually paying for an updated system. Nah, the legal team was able to determine that 'passenger pigeon' was an ambiguous statement, and was not intended to be a specific breed of pigeon, only that it was a pigeon that was a passenger on some other method of transportation. The Arbitrators sided with the people who bribed them the most, so now all communications are poorly scanned printouts of faxes, taped to a random park pigeon they catch, and are delivered via bicycle messenger. The CEO looked at the expense of the other option, but determined that legal fuckery and torturing the english language and contract law to get what he wanted was less risky than the more traditional crimes against god and ethical boundaries found in revivifying the dead.

Fixed bonuses only cause people to work juuust hard enough to maybe possibly get them, depending on if leadership is halfway trustworthy.

RocketMermaid posted:Oh, hello my two years doing litigation support for a Chicago law firm. Love to get reprimanded for my PCs having "too much uptime" by the IT manager because my Pentium 3 workstations were all chugging away at 250,000 pages of OCR that the lawyers were too cheap to shop out to a legit ediscovery place, and being told to grow the department when the IT manager wouldn't even expand our server space when our database drive was down to SINGLE-DIGIT MEGABYTES. To be entirely fair, 99% of the screwy poo poo I see in my day to day job can be traced back to 'computer has been on for a week/month/fiscal quarter, and REALLY wants a reboot'. It was even worse in the bad old days where a P3 might conceivably been still in actual use in an office environment.

Marmaduke! posted:Yeah I really struggle to understand the concept that the company gives me the credit card and then I have to pay it off and then they pay me back... like why not just get the expense confirmed and then have them pay off the credit card directly? It's specifically so you're spending your money, and you're on the hook for everything the card is used for, and if by some chance they feel generous enough to pay you for something you put on it, there is a process wherein they waste your time for a month before paying you. If you had a company card tied to the company account, and you went and bought snacks with it, they can't deduct the snacks from your paycheck, they'd have to ask YOU for THEIR money back, and they refuse to allow that to happen.

Tarkus posted:They may need to get oversize (but still in size) taps or tap drill to max of standard. Or they could be using the wrong cutting geometry for the taps. High Nickel alloys like Inconel like to shrink around a tap because the tap is only pushing the material away from it, not cutting it completely. Emuge makes excellent taps for exactly that purpose and are worth the extra price. I do wonder over what timeframe the holes shrink back up, or if some later part of the process does enough thermally or mechanically to stress relieve the threads and cause them to grow slightly. Or they do the hole pattern, then hog the poo poo out of something nearby and the holes go slightly oval due to cutting forces.
