On second shift there was an expectation to key over 20 orders a night. On first shift they maybe get 10 done. I don't know what the gently caress they do because it's the same job just different work window but they're every bit as bad at it as we assumed they were and it's acceptable and okay.

Unfortunately this also means one day you'll show up and the door will be barricaded and your stuff along with the copper wire will be already sold off.

Crazypoops posted:It's seriously just shooting the poo poo until you can go home. Lucky that gets strongly worded emails sent in my office. God forbid you talk and actually enjoy your day. And somehow they think taking us from full cubicles to smaller ones with a whole 14 inch wall separating each other is going to make us quieter? I don't get it. For a capitalism.txt, the hydraulic that keeps my desk chair up at a comfortable level started to go out this time last year. I was told "request one an we will order it" well time passes and I never got a chair. Eventually the thing went out entirely and if I sat down it would go straight to the ground. Stand up and it would sit there for about 10 seconds before popping up with a loud sound effect. This was when I looked into fixing it myself. There were a lot of failed attempts before I gave up and bought a piece of PVC pipe. I sawed the piped in half, glued it together around the chair, taped over it for extra support and my chairs been the right height ever since. Apparently the issue in the office now is it creaks and grinds and moans which irritates everyone in the place. But the management refuse to order a new one because "we're getting remodeled soon and everyone will get new chairs." The remodel was supposed to happen at the beginning of the summer so I don't expect a new chair anytime soon.

Jon Joe posted:How is the company not underwater already? They very well could be, he was born rich and treated the business like a personal hobby, something he did to feel like he was a real actual businessman. They operated on a subscription model and only sold to large businesses though, so even if they didn't get many new sales coming in the sustained revenue from subscriptions (which ran from $50k per year right up to like $900k a year) was pretty reliable. However I'm sure he was dumping a lot of personal cash into the place too. The company also "owned" a building on a street corner in a prime part of town that must have been worth a ton, which he intentionally left forever vacant, because it used to be a bar he ran that he loved very much but after shutting it down to renovate the city insisted that he pay to install an elevator for disabled patrons so he just threw up his hands and shuttered the place, but kept paying taxes and utilities and poo poo for literally decades, just so he didn't have to let go of the place since he had lots of fond memories of it. That bar is also where a lot of employees came from, like the lead developer for years was... the bartender. He had no formal training, his code was always a garbage fire and we finally had to fire him after he completely stopped working whatsoever and instead just got drunk at work all the time. (Last I heard he checked into rehab and was doing better though  )

I think he just really really wanted friends because of how much his wealth had seriously isolated him tbh. We'd have "teambuilding" events that were literally just things like "go over to his house and drink beers and hang out with him, or take a ride on his  speedboats." Guy was really... something.

SplitSoul posted:Worked at a company once that quietly got a dude to quit without fuss because he literally hadn't done a day's work in nine months and nobody had noticed. there was an amazing story I read years ago—it may have been a thread on here or it may not have been, I don’t remember—but it was a story of a guy whose company went through a restructuring that included a new HR system and assigning number codes to everybody’s job. he was supposed to be made redundant in the restructuring but somebody had instead accidentally changed his job code to “office safety officer”, except that job only existed on paper, and he was still getting paid, but no longer had anyone to report to. so he kept showing up to work and getting paychecks automatically sent to him and disappeared into the faceless ant-nest of a large corporation for literal years because no one notices one guy and nobody was his boss anymore. I think in the end he actually just quit out of boredom edit: I found it https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/ second edit: reading this again reminds me this is at least partly stdh.txt but w/e Pirate Radar has issued a correction as of 09:05 on Oct 5, 2018 |

No he's totally correct. For example you could probably liquidate almost the entire tech industry and nobody would notice the difference as long as most of the cuts weren't in IT and other maintenance stuff.
