I'm UK based so I get reasonable employment laws on my side, but I've still seen our UK people team tell outright lies to offboarding staff, to get them to relinquish / not pursue things that are their right under law (especially during redundancies / downsizing). Call that labor board whippet box, and feel zero remorse when doing so because the company feels zero remorse at your financial situation |

If this happens I will demand you post some chill stuff in the trashed thread as payment  The reason I am saying this is it sounds to me (an IT guy) like they have stuffed their timekeeping app 6 ways to Sunday while fixing this ransomware thingy, and have no idea what to pay anyone any more.

Mormon Nailer posted:Also: lol someone at oracle took a massive poo poo in Netsuite's framework today and it was dumping data left and right, so that was fun. I am glad we can restore from redundant backups and we were able to retrieve the single customer that wasn't backed up, but fuuuuuuck Oracle. My place has been using Oracle ERP for literal decades, and during that time we have always been at least 1 if not 5+ releases behind because upgrading immediately would basically break all our poo poo. We have a dedicated team of ERP devs whose sole job, as far as I can tell, is to fix Oracle's poo poo so we can upgrade without exploding Not even gonna mention requiring JRE for clients to connect because that should have been fixed years ago. To be fair Oracle do have an alternative now but lol at how long my place is taking to migrate to it The bigger the company, the dumber the decisions

empty whippet box posted:My button business is the closest I've ever come to truly enjoying work. I really like making buttons and it's rad to get paid to make silly meme stuff that makes people laugh. Political buttons are cool and all but there is something actually fun about pressing a bunch of stupid bullshit that's just there to make someone laugh onto buttons or magnets and sending it to people. I see myself doing it basically forever because why wouldn't I? I only get a couple orders a week typically these days but even just that gives me good brain feels. I get to put stupid extras in peoples orders just to make them smile when they get it, even more than they hopefully were already going to. If you could make a million bucks a year doing this it would be awesome Except it wouldn't, because when you hit the bigtime it slowly stops being fun and turns into the same tedious chore that all jobs are at heart Also one day you wake up and realise you've become Big Important Business Button Orb and you don't even recognise who you are any more What I'm basically saying is keep this as a hobby, because you will always love a hobby, and buttons are cool Also: gently caress a job |

I'd be tempted to put it as a dual role on the resumé, if you are performing both duties that is basically what it is. Also the potential to talk it up during interviews from a flexibility or diligence angle Definitely make sure your boss is aware that you are only good with it as a temp solution though, because I guarantee that if you just keep doing it they will let you, and they won't hire a replacement. Probably play up the "if I have to choose between my work and this other role I am obviously prioritising my work" since there has been no talk of title / comp changes based on the increased responsibility. As far as the actual title goes, I have no idea what either means (other than being finance based), and to be honest titles are mutable, it is the actual work duties and related skill sets that are important. |

IMO say it now to your boss, earlier the better, that you expect this to be temporary while they find a replacement, and that you'll be prioritising your own work first. Re-word as you see fit obvs (since I don't know your boss or what their triggers are) but the clearer you state your position, the less chance of them trying to fob it off on you permanently If you can cope with the extra work and neither that or your own work suffer, they will absolutely fob this off on you permanently, to save costs on a replacement employee. |

If you are an essential employee they would already have sorted out an enterprise level connection for you at home, and 100 other things (like wifi hotspot) to ensure you can keep working. Assuming they have done literally nothing about that, they obviously do not believe you require 100% uptime Unless the internet is actually down at your office in which case just fukken lol take the rest of the day off |

Big sticker on the box(es) saying "Advisory: this product is not load bearing". Also actually say this out loud to people when they ask to buy some Since the entire point of shelf brackets is that they are in fact load bearing, that should hopefully get the point across, and if people still want to purchase non-load bearing brackets then I guess you don't have a choice? |

Escape From Noise posted:Work has been pretty weird lately. I started brewing like a month ago. I had two brew days in one week. And that was basically it. I haven't had any other brew days. I've just been sitting around doing nothing with four empty tanks. I think it's because this is a very corporate company? It's the first time in my life I've ever really worked a fairly corporate job. I think we're waiting on a bunch of different approvals or something. I don't know. I have to go to the restaurant manager for basically everything, but he's busy with a new restaurant opening/being a restaurant manager so communication can be tough. Ok this is like the second time this manager has been secretly stewing over something they thought you hadn't delivered right? Sounds like you need to step up your notification game and ensure they are notified at least 2 separate ways you have now Done The Thing. I'm terrible at this as well, not trying to throw shade just saying that I found this to be an effective option in a similar situation (especially when I am world class at forgetting to hit Send on emails). If you get a face to face, see if you can bring the communication thing up and (tactfully) ask what their channel preferences are (email, instant messages, SMS, whatever the hell), so you can ensure they are kept up to date with progress on deliverables. NGL I once had to phone someone on their personal cell, because the previous emails and IMs were apparently ignored and they still thought I had not Done The Thing, to confirm it was actually done and talk them through getting to it The worst part is that I am also the perenially busy doofus myself, so I also resemble that remark lol |

Also one thing to consider is that they chose to stew quietly, instead of just asking you about it when it became relevant. Could be benign, but sounds to me like you are going to have to take the initiative regarding talking through things.

I moved from a small local place to a multinational around the turn of the century, and oh my word the extra beaurocracy is intense Budgets are better, if you have a good plan then you can get the right tools for the job, but only if you are prepared to drown in all the red tape Also everyone is convinced that everyone else is responsible for starting the conversation Survival involves ensuring you know what your deliverables are, delivering them, and making sure all stakeholders know that you have delivered. Take care of those 3 and the rest will sort itself out In your situation, I'd be thinking of getting a brewing schedule nailed down (even if the next batch is still weeks away because beaurocracy, this is likely your main deliverable), start the process to acquire any kit you are still missing, and start documenting the cool recipes you have percolating. Obvs change this up to suit your actual situation because I know nothing about japanese breweries I'm just guessing here Also regarding having nothing to do: as long as you are delivering what you need to they don't care. Use the time to reassess process, innovate new recipes, re-architect the production loop, anything that helps you deliver what you need to better / faster / more efficiently |

Yeah the actual brewing process itself you are the expert, but from a generic batch process perspective, time outside of the main batch is time available to improve for the next batch. If they agree a schedule that gives you a week between brewing batches, you get a week to iterate and improve for the next one (including updating / upgrading equipment). If you have input on the schedule (and you should, as the in-house expert) make sure you build that downtime in, because there will always be things you need to maintain / replace as they wear out |

Nov 4, 2021 15:37

Ok gonna show my ignorance here, but if the process itself is 3+weeks maybe try for a couple weeks downtime between, or have a schedule where you get 2+ weeks downtime every X batches. At some point you are gonna want to replace or add something that weighs a few tonnes, and that is not a 5 hour job lol |

Lol I am a computer toucher myself, but some of the stuff I deliver is done as scheduled batches so I guess it feels familiar. We do the same where after the end of a run we look for improvements, and design and implement them ready for the next run. As long as you have the time in the schedule where you can review and improve processes you should be good. And the other part where it's corporate, well as I mentioned before, know what you are supposed to deliver and work to deliver it, and the rest is just pointless red tape bullpoop that you'll eventually get the hang of. I feel your pain of it taking a month to get something ordered you can literally buy at a local store, this is endemic and not limited to just your workplace "Hey we want to use tool X and it'll cost $Y per seat, I can order it online and have it downloaded in 5 minutes" "Nope go through the proper ordering channels" 3 weeks later...
