Have only just noticed that the image of Santa on this has been mirrored, so as well as wishing me a !ƨɒmɈƨiɿʜƆ γɿɿǝM, Santa is loudly exclaiming “!OH !OH !OH”

Wish this proper lemonade stand stuff didn’t annoy me so much but it really does.

I usually just try to keep an eye on myself at work and make sure I’m doing the best I can do but there’s one guy at work who is just so bad at the job. The other day he was quite late and kept leaving the kitchen to take phone calls [I wouldn’t mind if we weren’t busy] which meant everyone else got swamped. Today he kept asking me what he should do next and basically did nothing in the last 20 minutes of his shift because “there’s no point starting anything if I’m leaving soon”.

Imagine you work at a technology company that makes things. You are aware that the production line itself is quite sensitive from a secrecy perspective, due to the signs everywhere, due to things like trade secrets, industrial espionage, and various scary sounding legal issues. You also see the signs saying no photography or recording equipment allowed, and are very aware of the rigorous security screening that goes on for anyone entering or exiting the site.

You’ve got a mate who’s a journalist at the local paper. They call you up and say “can we do a site tour and report on it? We’d want photos for the online edition.”

Do you say:

  • Yeah sure mate, bring your photographer too, the more the merrier, don’t think we need to clear that with anyone or have the photos checked internally before publication
  • LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF ALL OF THAT YOU CHICKEN FUCKING NUGGET

Some higher up has deactivated everyone’s access to the tracking software we use.

I mean we’re only running a transport operation, not like we need to know where our trucks are or anything like that :man_shrugging:

Our branch has been told we’re spending too much on labour so now I have to do about 6 things at once

Stop with the political donations already.

Windows + L has stopped working on my work PC. This is slowing my ability to slope off from my desk for vape breaks. If I wanted to use a mouse to lock my screen I’d be a cat.

That’s stopped working too. I kind of feel like a computer where Ctrl + Alt + Del doesn’t work is like a gun without a safety catch.

These fuckers here have taken away the ability to sleep your computer.

I wonder why professional networkers are the hardest people to like. I’m sitting opposite a woman who won networker of the year or something - has never asked me a question, barely looked at me, and just talks in stupid phrases that don’t mean anything. Couldn’t think of anyone I’d like to network with less.

My boss is a pretty good analyst, an absolutely atrocious manager and a fantastic networker. I mean he just schmoozes absolutely everyone. It has its benefits, but on balance doesn’t really compensate for him being really shit at his actual job.

Just seems a bit like American Psycho to me, to have a people person sort of job but then to blank the people who have no influence over your job role. Surely you’re a networker because you like meeting people.

I’m so confused by all these rude people at your work ignoring you. If we worked together I’d definitely want to be your friend xxx

She sounds terrible though anyway
(this is more in reference to other posts you’ve made about ppl at your work btw, apologies if it comes across as a bit random)

No, it’s because you like using meeting people who you think will help your career

I used to work with someone who kept a “networking spreadsheet” where he kept track of all his networking contacts. Never got to see it, wonder if he kept a note of how they liked their coffee and stuff?

There was a guy on Catfish once that had a spreadsheet of all the details from the several hundred women he was catfishing.

Totally normal thing to do in both cases.
