That video is great. I need to forget about it before I start sending it to colleagues.

dpkg chopra posted:The company sends a monthly “recognitions” email. Literally all of them are “So and so routinely stays after hours or logs in on weekends to make sure we meet quota. What a team player!”. Every time I see one of these I just feel bad for the people being recognized. Especially when they sprinkle in language about how "Soandso does this willingly without any complaints." Like lol and lmao.

They have contributed 50.75 hours as overtime which is great. By achieving this goal, the team became more profitable, resulting in the opportunity to deliver more.” Most of these are from the India service so maybe it’s just a cultural thing.

One of my direct reports is a go-getter to a fault. He's regularly volunteering for work "extracurriculars" - employee satisfaction committees, DE&I clubs, moderating an ERG panels, etc. This has certainly gotten him lots of high-level exposure, but it has also puts a ton on his plate, so I've been coaching him on how to assess these opportunities against his workload before volunteering. Because the last thing I need is for him to get burnt out due to his own eagerness. Today, we were on an org meeting, and the Director was asking for volunteers for some BS committee and specifically called on my report by name (because people know that he's historically loved that poo poo). My report replied "I'll need to look at my upcoming workload and get back to you if I have bandwidth." Saying no without saying no. I'm so proud.

A Tale of Two Companies Company my wife is joining: onboarding portal for things like background check and policy training, she picked her preferred laptop a few weeks back in it, when she got a shipping email it was accompanied by instructions to not turn it on when received and to wait for a Zoom call to ensure all IT prerequisites were done, came with a company backpack Company my wife is leaving: she gave two weeks notice but apparently her boss didn’t actually flag she was leaving to HR until a week later. She asked about returning her laptop and they said she would probably get something about it. It’s been just over two weeks since her last day and she still has the laptop and has gotten no return information.

Cael posted:A Tale of Two Companies I've been in this employers shoes before where I sent someone a $1000-when-new laptop, they used it for a year and are now leaving: As long as I can remotely lock it I don't care about the (now) $600 asset she's holding. Returning it means $300 in IT team work to receive, track, unpack, wipe and install our image to ready it for the next person so that $300 savings from returning ranks roughly bottom on the priority list.

In that case it's worth having a way to remotely wipe it and tell them to enjoy their free laptop.

When I got laid off with 20% of my last company, they let us keep the laptop in addition to the rest of the severance. Pretty good real for me given it was a M1 Max with 64gb of memory. Turns out it retails for four grand! But like CFP said, dealing with that many laptops coming back to an office probably wasn’t worth it for them. Nice machine and really good at playing Balatro.
