Listen to this clown: “We’ve heard from Googlers that those who spend at least three days a week in the office feel more connected to other Googlers, and that this effect is magnified when teammates work from the same location,” Cicconi said in the memo. “Of course, not everyone believes in ‘magical hallway conversations,’ but there’s no question that working together in the same room makes a positive difference.”
Surrounded by police and armed security. We’re out here making the best of it on the 3rd shift rotation.
A little rant. Based in NYC. Everyone in the office at my job has remote flexibility. About half stay home always and the rest come in 1-2x a week. I do not have this. I am an assistant and expected to be in the office in case someone needs me to look at a file, scan mail, etc. very old school non profit. I don’t even have a laptop in the event there’s a crisis and I can’t come in/need to wfh like if Covid randomly restarted. My supervisors usually come in a few times a week. Not sure if you’ve read in the news, but nyc is experiencing the worst air quality in its history. Our average is 30 micro particles and it’s been in the 300s. Everyone who’s hybrid and my supervisors opted to stay home all week due to the air but I have to schlep through…
My boss wants me to do his project for his Blue Belt course. For those unfamiliar, Blue Belt is part of Lean 6 Sigma. I am familiar with it, but I don’t even have a yellow certification. My direct manager assigned me to do a project revolving around high scrap, and it turns out the scrap was coming from crew members just straight up not doing their work. There’s 6+ months worth of video footage of them destroying product, parts of the machine, or just in the parking lot slacking off. Whatever, doesn’t matter. Today he pulled me aside and gave me a notebook and a Blue Belt workbook. He instructed me to write it as him (putting his name on the project) and to not tell anyone what I was doing, including the plant director. I have a gut feeling that I shouldn’t be doing this project, especially since…
It’s likely after 6/28 my time would be up there, but I don’t know for sure if they’d extend my contract. Issue is I’m flying to a concert on 7/7 to NYC. Ideally I’d fly down Thursday afternoon and return Saturday evening. The issue is the company only lets you take off like 2-3 days every six months. Should I just quit end of June? I don’t see how it could be feasible. Also, booking flights late Thursday and early Saturday try and make work is too expensive and a runaround. Context: this is a minimum wage temporary gig before I get back on my feet.
I am severely overworked and underpaid. I work remotely and we are very short staffed. I am doing most of my bosses work to the point where I'm wondering wtf she even does. I put my foot down and she just gave the work load to my only true friend at the company. (Now she's considering quitting.) Every time my boss hops on a call SHE'S TANNING outside. Are you fucking serious? At least try to act like you're doing something. Everyone on my team is an idiot except for my friend. Anyways… I've been causally applying to jobs since December and then April I got serious about it. I literally have been applying to 10+ PER DAY. Doing about 2-3 interviews per week. I am constantly analyzing my resume and improving it. Working on certifications to beef up my resume. I'll get to the 2nd or 3rd interview then…
From a local business owner who pays their employees like crap and cannot retain staff, and who conveniently grew up wealthy. Hilariously, they also posted new photos after this of their tropical vacation.
I work in a restaurant. A few months ago, I was talking with my boss(es) about going into more of a leadership/managerial role. We never planned anything out, they just told me I could start training in a few months. Never heard anything since. Fast forward to present day, I come into work and see my coworker being trained for the position we talked about! I work extremely hard, and even won “employee of the month” last month. I feel I go the extra mile every day, and do more than a lot of my coworkers. So tbh, I felt bitter when I saw they’d given my promotion to someone else. Should I bring this up with my manager(s) or let it go?
