The office manager's new passive-aggressive bullshit tactic is refusing give me my mail. Since they fired the person who used to collect and distribute the mail the task has fallen to him, and that's spelled the end of getting mail or packages. I have to go down to the building mailroom and dig around in the pile of "lost" mail to find my stuff and that's no small task when you work in a skyscraper. What a ratfucker.

He goes down to the mailroom to pick up mail, grabs his (and presumably anybody higher than his position's) mail, and throws the rest into a pile of lost mail? Sounds like a great recipe to sink the company.

I just got an offer for a long term contract job, 3 years, with the change to change to permanent. It's about 35k more, in a field I'm familiar with. I'm really inclined to look into it. It's not like I'd start at a job more than three years anyways. The contracting company benefit package is better than what I get now, too, which equates to another couple grand in my pocket. The contracting company is Pinnacle, anyone have experience with them? Is there any downsides to this? Any pro-tips?

I've got a bunch of Fortigate boxes, I've had one issue to date that was fixed really fast. They're the best thing out there in the affordable UTM market. Cisco ASA is crap/slow and expensive, sonicwall is just  , Miraki blows, Sophos is worse than Sonicwall and Junniper, the only one worth a poo poo is so expensive no one uses them.

Mother. Fucker. "Unfortunately we will not be able to deliver this circuit this week. We are still waiting for Frontier to repair their conduit before we can complete our part of the construction. We are targeting to complete w/in the next few weeks. We apologize for the delay and will continue to follow up w/ Frontier and keep you informed. "

Nothing will happen about it. Then when the inevitable happens you have leverage for a fatter severance package.

No one here cares about this and legal remedies for common workplace bullshit are a fantasy. Even if it somehow crossed the line, like Bill taking a swing at me I'd assume my boss and the CEO would just get a raft of witness statements to support him. My only option as usual is to decide how much crap I'm willing to put up with before hitting the eject button. Right now I'm well within the range of what I can withstand, and I want to stick it out until they axe me so this time I can at least get unemployment.

This is you giving into them out of fear. This is you assuming defeat, thereby letting these assholes win. Cut it out.

As much as these forums tote suing the pants off your boss as option #1 for any workplace conflict, it will happen maybe 1 out of 10,000 times. And that one time will be settled out of court for way less than anybody expects. Also, nothing has actually happened to him besides petty manchild bullshit. This happens daily to millions of office workers, and there is no defeating them beyond not letting it affect you.

Every time someone stays 15 minutes late on salary without coming in 15 minutes late the next day everyone tells the person to lawyer up and sue. I understand the sentiment but it's not even remotely feasible or practical. Sorry Dick, one day you'll land in a good place. That or you'll have some massive stress induced heart attack and get put into some crap hospital only to have the room dividing curtain pulled to reveal Tony in the bed next to yours.

I should read this thread more often. It would make me feel better about taking three emails to explain to a lawyer (one in his forties) how to download and save a file, or having to explain why we don't want to use the 11-year-old SBS 2003 server that we finally decommissioned as "extra storage."

Send yourself a bunch of empty small boxes to that either the lost pile becomes unreasonably huge and makes him look bad or he is forced to give you your mail.

The help desk at my job irritates me. They will gladly open 10 tickets for the same issue instead of using even 1 brain cell to think "huh this seems familiar did I already open 6 of these tickets? Well better keep opening them" It helps their numbers I guess but it really bothers me. Obviously why caring about raw ticket numbers over actually helping people is a problem. When performance reviews (and bonus/raises/etc) depend on numbers, give them numbers I guess. Another funny thing is nobody here gives a gently caress about ticket times, they only care if a ticket escalates. They only escalate if you don't respond in a certain amount of time. In theory there's an sla for closing times, but for whatever reason nobody cares about it at all.
