I figure there’s someone who would get what an awful mistake I made here. So I went from hardware engineering QA to web QA. I have been asked to implement a QA standard similar to where I worked for. The developers do not speak English and the senior QA and developer don’t either and regularly have back channel conversations in Malayam which I find out when the users ping me directly and ask me why something is broken, or try to submit a feature request under the guise it’s a big. The owner treats all these as high priority and directly asks me why I can’t find all the bugs in the software with no documentation ever. Their plan is to do manual testing on everything for every release* to be defined by the development head behind this poo poo who I report to Never do web QA.

Barudak posted:Wait, yalls companies have fridges and microwaves for employees to use??? A big fancy company with premium office space that I gig at recently relented and put microwaves on every floor. (Previously the kitchenette on every floor had fridges and coffee machines only - all hot food was to be eaten on the fancy lunchroom floor only.) Of course, they bought commercial microwaves that have an incredibly loud, obnoxious series of beeps when they finish the cycle!

This instead of booze is several half empty 2 liter coca-cola bottles. We also got fridge thieves and I was told that once it got so bad that someone tried to catch the thief by spiking a coke bottle with one of the many printing chemicals we got around. It worked. The thief drank nearly the whole bottle and ended up in the hospital. I dunno if this also counts as OSHA violation or attempted murder.

Usually people just add laxatives or very spicy peppers to their lunch to catch the thieves. Adding poisonous materials sure steps it up.

The nice thing about working in vending repair is that we have to have refrigerator models and freezer models for the boards to be tested in. There’s no possible way for any higher ups to remove them. We had a coffee machine as well but then they moved coffee to its own department, our broke and no one ever fixed it. Fortunately the head of boards had just gotten a new Keurig so he brought in his old one. There’s still a machine over in the kiosk department, but  .

We have small kitchen areas in our workplace. No running water, but there is a large breakroom/lunchroom on every floor as well if you need to wash out your cup or dish. The building provides large, rather nice fridges and we have several coffeemakers plugged in - Keurig and then regular drip. The setup is great but for about the past 3 weeks something has been festering in the fridge and every time I open the door to get the half and half for my coffee  Cleaning the fridge is the responsibility of whoever is in the area. I may bite the bullet depending on how busy I am even though I don't use the fridge for anything else. We share the kitchen with our attorneys, so it's 100% one of them and they'll never clean up because...attorneys.

There was some kind of fruit jam all in the keys. We aren't even in the south or anything. Getting ants here means you really hosed up. We vacuumed up as many ants as we could, cleaned it up and it worked again.

At least once they were bedbugs and we had to have our area fumigated or something (I wasn't there that day thankfully). The dude who brought it in got fired because this was apparently at least the fifth time he'd brought in bedbugs. So now my co-worker keeps a gym bag with a change of clothes in the office and we also have a "Bug Oven" - an insulated tent with a heater that cooks anything in the tent to around 140 Fahrenheit, so we haven't had another infestation incident, but we do have to dump the bug corpses on occasion because the people who work in this company are nasty as gently caress, apparently.

Yeah, it just has 10 buttons arranged vertically that run incrementally longer programmes. (because I'm a busybody I looked up the service manual for the model and tried to disable the chime, but it wouldn't work)

But it is a generally nice office with a low chud/high nerd ratio, which might be the key. I'm sorry but this is insanely funny - the one person that steals food is still nice enough to return the containers, cleaned too. What a lad. silicone thrills posted:Gross Attorney story: I used to work in an IT helpdesk and one day one of the attorneys dropped off his laptop bag via his assistant with no information other than "there's something wrong with it" This on the other hand, is not funny.

I watched a judge receive an affidavit declaring the defendant the inheritor of the decedent's estate, stare at it, stare at the defense attorney, stare at the prosecutor, and then ask if the prosecutor had any objections to this last minute "gotcha" filing. The prosecutor read it over, and said it was fine. Once it was admitted and given an exhibit ID the prosecutor said "I don't know what value this has as the defendant's mother is still alive." The defense attorney pretended he didn't hear anything. The judge looked like he was trying to figure out how to call the defense attorney a loving moron without just saying that. That judge might be the only one I've liked for more than 20 seconds. I mean he's a judge so he's probably still garbage, but watching trash humiliate an even trashier person is vastly entertaining.
