This is going to lead to some horrific legislation where employers can search your tax returns or some shit.
Quite a few companies already report your salaries / employment history to credit unions. That gets covered in background checks.
I don't understand why people tell on themselves like this. If I did found out how to successfully do something like this, I wouldn't be broadcasting it over the internet...anonymously or not.
Dude in a meeting today: I think it’s just a fiction of his imagination Me: A what? Dude: A fiction of his imagination…like made up Me: Ironic Dude: What? Me: Nevermind
I am a great boss. I throw a pizza party for them every time I have the team work overtime on a holiday.
Feedback feedback feedback feedback A PM just said ‘feedback’ 40 times in an hourlong meeting Thanks for the feedback Do you have any feedback I’m looking for feedback How much feedback is expected
I hope someone said something along the lines of, Am I the only one on the line who's hearing some feedback?
I almost never get on LinkedIn anymore, but I was having lunch with a good friend/former coworker who is now a consultant. He mentioned that he knew I was in a big strategy meeting a few days ago because someone posted a picture of themselves presenting at said meeting and I was in the background. I went on a mini-rant about how dumb it is that people make posts like “so proud to present at my company’s meeting” like it’s the work version of posting pics of your kid’s trip to the pumpkin patch on Facebook and he got a weird look on his face like if slapped him or something. After the lunch I checked his LinkedIn and he has at least one post a week of him presenting in meetings. Oops
LI is fucking Instagram for people like that, as well as FB-esqie stuff like "this is what a working mom/dad looks like!"
Gallup Pulse Survey results on employee engagement and accountability was released to people leaders today. It’s an amazing bloodbath and people are freaking out.
Lately I've been torn between making fun of influencers and beginning to realize that if i post content in niche, ill get better job offers / consulting opportunities
My job is pretty flexible and I always have a lot of work to do in a vacuum (i.e. the schedule doesn’t matter and I’m working alone). My favorite part of still wfh is waking up at 4am, not being able to go back to sleep, and knocking out a half day of work by 8am. I’ll take a shower soon then probably nap for a few hours. Hit my kids thanksgiving feast at his school and finish the day by 4pm.
My sleep is forever fucked up from kids. The past 7 years have been waking up multiple times per night to deal with one thing or another.
Second week working somewhere very corporate. I feel like I'm in meetings 90% of the time...how does anyone get anything done? Actually I know just keep delegating down the chain and you never actually have to do anything.
I’m very fortunate. I’d say I work about 8 hours per week. There’s about two months a year where that gets bumped up 25, but smooth sailing otherwise.
I probably do 40 real work and another 20 thinking about ways to do more work so mentally working but I’m on a short break right now and also earlier when posting on TMB and checking my FF lineups
Having a little bit of a rough time in my current role. It’s easy and I know the systems and stuff well, but I’m not suited to it. Background: I left my last job on this same industry due to burnout. Got a few months on and needed something, so I jumped into a role at a large financial services firm who offers ancillary services. They license the software platform that I used to work (one job prior, left 3 years ago) at and was a manager. I know the process and product very well. This place is more concerned with following process (saving checklists, email return SLA, other admin functions) moreso than providing a better experience. Which is fine. I’m just terrible at organization and stuff. I knew I shouldn’t have dipped back into the industry, but I chose security. About to hit the search again after my 1x1 just went exactly how I’d expect. Clients are generally happy, the builds and offerings are great, but internally I’m missing what I see as arbitrary markers. /rant
Form over substance approaches always irk me. I get it man. No sense in staying if you think you can get on with someone else.
If the work is just repeatable process/checklist of work--could you offload the work to a digital assistant without telling the company? Sounds like you could handoff or automate a lot of that work and go get a 2nd job like people were promoting in this thread earlier?
Been off work for two weeks. I’m still laying in bed with the scaries…not from drinking…but from the thought of “hey do you have a minute for a quick Teams call” starting up again.
I don’t hate my job at all, I’d just much rather not have to work and two weeks off reminds me of that.
That’s the boomer “butts in seats” management style. Three years into 100% wfh, there are still some holdouts in my org who go from 6 to midnight when mentions of return to office are made. They’d rather make their own lives worse as long as it means they get to police the cube farms like the boss from Office Space again.
Old job my boss (and coworkers) would video me without any notice. That was fucking hell. New job no one ever turns their video on and unless there is an emergency that is already popping off in the chat there are no spontaneous calls.
