i feel like its got a common law marriage vibe to it. If something is in my house for long enough it just becomes mine.

when Uber bought Postmates and I decided to leave and never work there, I returned all my Postmates equipment, including the unopened Uber laptop they had sent me via a printed label they had emailed. They then proceeded to keep sending me extra empty laptop shipping boxes for weeks. The first two I thought were just errors because I had sent them two laptops in original boxes and I assumed it was automatic, but by the time they sent the third box I was no longer in possession of anything and my accounts were disabled so I had to ask friends who still worked there for the private support addresses to which I sent email hoping it would open tickets where they'd know to please not send me laptop boxes anymore, which ultimately worked.

a lot of places have both equipment and salaries handled by different departments, possibly different contracting companies, and may not have the coordination required to do that.

Gnossiennes posted:anyway his ~concern~ comment was because i wear headphones to concentrate on work, because we are surrounded on all sides by ee labs in an open office and the fans are extremely loud So I grabbed a decibel meter, measured the thing, and reply-all'd asking where I could find my OSHA-required ear protection during work hours as I'm concerned about the company's potential liability It got immediately moved and that was the last I heard of it

lol today it was revealed that the galaxy brain return to office is pushed from global management and i guess that explains all the blitzkrieg of new rules and technically accepting feedback but ignoring it which also is a nice reality check into a c level mind, so congrats

being in central time working with lots of eastern time people leads to central time people scheduling something at 11 AM central to get it done right before lunch, eastern time people scheduling something at 1 PM eastern to get on it right after lunch, and me having meetings all through lunch lol

I just say "this is after hours" and refuse the meeting. Not my problem at that point. I'll sometimes extend it if it's something very important and time-sensitive, but it's a rare thing.

we use Clockwise for a lot of meetings, where you define the big chunk of times you'd like free and your working hours, and then you give it permission to re-schedule a bunch of poo poo and it will automatically try to shuffle the schedules of all allowed meetings for all allowed participants to bin pack everyone's meetings into as few blocks as possible. It works pretty well and now I have a bunch of "meeting afternoons" where all meetings go and a bunch of free hours put together at other times. E: https://www.getclockwise.com/

i won my last office trivia thing which had a $50 gift certificate prize, and so I asked for one to costco lmao. it's been this 4 month saga though because a gift certificate to costco is counted as cash for government contractors (where as one to denny's wouldn't be lol) so i had to give it back and some weird bonus handling company had to send me just a check for $50 instead so that it was legal.

Yeah "global" workforce. oldjob had 6am vtcs all the god drat time because apparently it was against the law in japan for that office to come in early or something plus all the east coast managers were geriatrics who woke up at 4am and were in bed by 8 every night. i'm a night owl so it was grueling.
