I had to do a whole AI training thing this month, including delivering a 10 minute video client pitch. You know what’s great for writing a pretty good 10 minute script in like 10 minutes? GenAI. GenAI is nowhere near good enough for most of what it’s being pitched for by people who don’t actually have to use it or care about the quality of the outcomes, but for use cases like this it’s awesome. I’m pretty sure the OOTB script I got was better than 90% of the speeches I heard in multiple years at Toastmasters, and with a bit of tweaking it was actually good (enough).

I brought in a bag of Easter chocolate and left it in the kitchen break room, was sitting there off to the side eating my breakfast this morning and I watched some guy walk in, walk up to bag and take 2 big fistfuls of Easter egg chocolates. Like… cmon dude.

I was on vacation with my family for spring break this past week and returned today. We were out of the country, and I made it a point to be as offline as possible (my phone worked, but I almost always left it in the room and never opened work apps). My out of office message was very clear about this: (paraphrased) "I am out of the country with no access to email/Teams. Please reach out to the following people for urgent matters: <list of backups>." I had also prepped the people I work with most often on this fact. The number of messages I came back to that started with "I know you're out of office, but could you take care of X / answer this question / etc." was astounding (but sadly, not surprising).

I’m sure the people who contacted you have now learned they could actually solve the problem without you and will not bother you in the future. Now to sit patiently and wait for that bridge I bought the other day.

I'm part of a 15 person team and it achieves my dream to be unremarkable and unnoticed. The number of messages that came directly to me and went unhandled because they never bothered hitting up the department as a whole during my bonding leave was staggering.

So I handed in my notice and hosed off on holidays for two weeks because that company is a major shitshow. I return to find out, via the grapevine, that everyone outside my direct team was told I was fired rather than my boss admitting that he couldn't unfuck the company and it's best for me to just bail rather than waste time hoping. This is very important because one week later the lead dev handed in their notice and shared the resignation letters with everyone. Owner decided to take the confidential "your CTO is a fuckwit who ruins everything" portion of it and pass it to the CTO so he could do his usual toxic bullshit about it. For bonus points the lead dev called the owner out on lying about how I left  . I am just laughing my rear end off here, happy to be unemployed rather than stuck in that clownshow.

I recall seeing your posts earlier while I was having some similar (though considerably less drastic) issues at my own new place. Good luck out there.

God how are people still dragging boxes around in PowerPoint to do a project timeline, have we not progressed beyond this as a species? Also it looks like poo poo and it's very important to make your "plan" look good so people don't look at the actual dates

In my rush to prepare for the trip I didn't post much here, but that was the week I discovered that the sales team was scheduling in work without bothering to get a contract signed. Pretty important thing to have when you are selling literally hacking poo poo. I got to defuse one situation with a customer where the worst case scenario was genuinely "the cops show up at previous team lead's house" because he went hog wild on their network with zero legal cover. Part of the things my new boss was sure he couldn't fix was "making sales actually produce their one deliverable". loving glorious shitshow.

According to a PowerPoint project timeline from a year ago, this April I am supposed to be fully spun up and running reports off our new ERP as the project team sunsets the old one. I’ve opened the new ERP exactly once, during a training where we didn’t do anything because no data was available for testing.

I mean it sounded like a bad place to work before you posted this. Presumably the interview question "why did you leave your last job" will result in a thousand yard stare and twitching.

I've been sticking to "the role was mis-sold to me, and what the job actually is does not match my desired career path". Awaiting an internal recruiter to return from his own holiday before I get an offer from his place already anyway, and TBH while it's a bigger more corporate multinational the benefits are insane.

And now we're speed running assay improvements and then re executing testing later this year. Good news, layouts most likely won't affect me or my team. Bad news, competing companies will probably gently caress us in the long run. As always, dusting off my resume now.

Having got the desktop version installed and somehow working despite allegedly needing to request a separate license, I check the pricing and lol, yes. There's an 365 online version that does basic Gantt stuff but not a timeline/roadmap. That's a separate online component called "roadmap", nice nickel and diming ms  also we dont have it.Anyway, now that I think about it I have *never* seen a project/change management function actually use a tool to do this and they've always just used "drag and drop poo poo around in PowerPoint".
