Due to the lack of people in my company, I am pretty used to doing tasks outside of my job description. However, I am basically at my limit. Here is a little background of my situation for anyone who cares. We have an item that is required for our production, but it is in-need of repair from our supplier. Our purchasing team is supposed to send that item over to our supplier a month ago. However, they never did. Though I don't blame them, since they probably drowning in workload as well. Last week, this issue became the hottest thing. The VP of the company got involved, and demanded that this issue get resolved asap. He personally contact the supplier, and put me as the action owner. I am being ask to personally take the item to our supplier and get the issue resolved. This thing is, this is outside…

/The Conscience of a Hacker// by +++The Mentor+++ Written on January 8, 1986 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. “Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal”, “Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering”… Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world… Mine is a world that begins with school… I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me… Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. “No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head…”…

Had an accident in Australia. Nothing to do with work, traffic accident. Ended up in hospital with some fractures. Asked the doctor for a note for work. He gave one but had zero details about what happened or my condition, just that i cant work for a certain time period. I thought it was a mistake, so I asked him about it. He said “nah, all your work should know is that you're unfit to work. They have no legal right to know more. What if you were unfit to work because of something drugs or alcohol related, you wouldn't want them to know, right?” reread this and let it sink in dear Americans.

Make it make SENSE. Just like them wondering why we have less workers. Self employment! They all died because you killed them! MAKE IT MAKE SENSEEEEEE.

So my grandmother died a week ago. She lived several US states away from me so there was no way for me to make the funeral and I had to attend via zoom link while still clocked in at work Saturday. I emailed my boss saying effective immediately I was going to be taking my 3 paid days off. She texted me this morning and said that because it was such short notice, her boss was on PTO, and the other manager is taking the weekend off that said bereavement was denied. I'm so frustrated with this stupid company but specifically my boss. She fucks over our schedules, fucks over out PTO, let's one specific associate do just whatever the hell while the rest of us are held to an entirely different standard and now this. My grandmother and I were extremely close and I haven't been taking her death…
