Our tab is supposed to make it nomihodai, but this guy was ordering 25 year old whiskys so this year I also have to be the bad guy and enforce a regular nomihodai at our event. I'll just try to get the vendor to host it at a nicer caliber joint for the team. The worst part is as senior boss man I have to chose what activity all 15 of us will do and now I understand how you always end up at like, Bowling for these as a junior person. I will take recomendations unless you say soaplands

poo poo dude, I dunno. I'm poo poo at organizing stuff. I'm guessing you're in Tokyo? I'll let you know if I think of something. Edit: most of my bonenkais were when I was a teacher in rural Nara. So I guess it was usually karaoke. Escape From Noise fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Nov 18, 2021 |

I was talking to my cousin today about a job at a law firm they left when it became increasingly apparent that the owner/boss was laundering money. This guy would get his e-mails printed out and then try to "click" the hyperlinks on the printed sheets of paper and would start going apeshit when nothing happened, slamming the "link" on the page over and over. Thought people itt might appreciate that story.

Honestly, as long as the after-party isn't enforced or whatever, I think it'll be fine. I think most people are going to have pretty realistic expectations. It's mostly about having a few drinks and dicking around imho.

The CEO came up from Florida to "show his gratitude" for the IT team working through the pandemic. This gratitude took the firm of a backpack, a couple shirts, a couple water bottles, and two $25 gift cards for each of us. I feel so special. Just like I do when I get the annual birthday email "from" him that's a single sentence, doesn't mention me by name in the body, and ends with a period.

Our work uses men's day as a way to bring up men's health issues, loneliness and isolation, and the support they can offer for single male parents and carers. It's quite nice.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I have a work station right smack in the middle of my lab (not my actual office), from which I can see every one of my reports at their various spots. I kind of inherited the spot from a previous employee who's responsibilities I took on. I used to joke and call it the command center because of the guy's personality and now I have become the very thing that I used to get irate about. I stack a bunch of poo poo up around me and keep my headphones on and don't look up much so my reports don't feel surveilled. Also if I need to speak with any of them I have a hard rule with myself about never calling them to come to my work station, I always go to them. At the call center I used to work at, it was literally just called the command center, which was an admittedly generous term for "literal elevated lookout nest run by a clique of adult hall monitors." Apropos of nothing, I find the fact that this thread went from "stupid rules about Zoom calls resulting from clueless management bumbling through the transition to work-from-home" to a bunch of deranged anti-vax morons bringing their idiot beliefs into the workplace

My old company just told everyone to wear blue and then at lunch (which the department head mandated be taken at a very specific time for everyone) the executive assistant would try to convince anyone wearing blue to be in a department Men's Day picture. No one gave a gently caress and it was like the same five people every year.

Enfys posted:people are faking vaccine cards and getting caught as well as scammed i could of hallucinated, but I think I saw an article where a legit doctor would issue you a 'fake' card, if you just get a shot of this saline. and of course they got the real stuff. i can't google anything, so I may have dreamt it.

Wendigee posted:absolutely amazing... i hope they got to keep the bribes. I mean, all the paperwork has been filled out, including any disclaimers. There'd have to be actual video of the doctor taking cash or check from the anti-vaxxer, likely with both of them clearly saying for the video "This is a bribe for a fake shot", for it to be legally actionable. And even then I wouldn't be surprised that getting that far opens up the anti-vaxxer to potential trouble, socially and/or with their employer at the very least if not legally. Article says the police declined to follow up on the complaints, and mainly they were relying on inspectors going "Don't do this, you can get in trouble if you're somehow caught and it can cause image problems for doctors all over the place."

There's several buildings of ours that have an extra office that isn't used because no one wants to use them when their windows are covered like they're supposed to be We're multinational, so god bless the German Worker's Councils. We can't automatically collect any data on computer usage that can be used for disciplinary purposes. Not is. Not will be. Can. That slow rolled a global rollout of a very useful monitoring and troubleshooting by a few months. And as an SME they made sure I was extremely clear on what data I can and cannot release to a manager - not very loving much.

Apparently at Saturday night's open bar I managed 25% of the total for sixty people with top shelf Scotch. The CFO tried to give me a hard time, but I just looked him in he eye and asked if they ever figured out how spa security's golf cart ended up in the pool. Yeah, I didn't think so.
