adding "hola" to the beginning of your emails isn't cute and doesn't make you any less annoying

almost as bad as ending an email with "cheers"

5/30/2013 11:09:30 AM

i once worked for a company with a branch in the UK and they ended their emails with cheers

the worst offender is ciao

I end my emails with:

I can't imagine an 82 degree office. Yikes. Our building A/C has been down all week but they brought in a giant semi trailer full of chillers and a giant semi-trailer generator to run the chillers. I'm sure they're paying an arm and a leg, but it's nice and cool despite the 90 degree day outside.


Today's (and every day's) annoyance: Internet Explorer 8. We can't run IE9 or IE10 because most of the enterprise is still running XP. We can't run Firefox or Chrome because the security team forbids it. So...Fail.

I'd slit my wrists if I had to use IE full time.
99% of my dev is done on chrome and I just let the contractors deal with browser issues.
The last one I had was due to nested i-frames.
I don't know how the fuck they work fine with chrome but break in the browser than invented the damn things.

5/31/2013 2:14:23 PM

IE10 is nice

Don't put that bullshit little THANKS COMMA FIRST NAME in your goddamn signature. I know you didn't type that shit. It's not even the same color or font as the rest of your message.

Even worse when it's THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS, and we are co-workers. Motherfucker, that is some cynical shit. That is contemptuous of clients. Do you really presume they're stupid enough to mistake your dumb signature for a sincere expression of appreciation for their business?

5/31/2013 3:06:17 PM

Thanks,

I'm the recycling coordinator for my school, was recognized at the school board meeting recently for having a top program, and have made recycling an integral part of our daily routine at school. I have very strong feelings about the issue and am a strong supporter of treating waste as a resource when economically feasible.

Well, this morning I hear an announcement that they are collecting all of the recycling bins to store for the summer. WTF. First I have heard about it, I emailed the teacher collecting them (special ed teacher using the self-contained kids to do so) and the administrator with my concern, and got canned responses just that "we are storing the recycling bins for the summer."

I'm not so much pissed that they didn't involve me in the decision, but teachers generate a METRIC SHIT TON of recycling once exams are over and rooms are cleaned out. now they have no place to store it while they are cleaning/sorting, so most of it is going to be thrown away.

I would pitch more of a fit, but i've learned that the best way to handle things sometimes is to keep your head down, bitch about it on the internet, and get over it.

Every few days I go to take a piss (we have those no flush urinals) and it's covered in pubes. Today they were inside it, on top of it, and even on the walls around/on top of it. how in the fuck does this happen in a legit job/workplace?

Our trash company puts recycling and trash in the same truck and claims it's sorted when they get it to the dump. I'm sure that actually happens.

meetings that are directed at everyone 'being team players' during a transition, when the one giving the meeting is new, and is fucking with the staff the old guard has cultivated, the way we do things on a daily basis, all while handing out list after list of new shit we now have to do in order to 'make the team a success'. shove that corporate mantra bullshit up your ass, I ain't buying it. you want me to work more, I suggest you pay me more.

1. Required to print out attendance records which are already stored on the school grading system that can be accessed at any time, just for them to sit in a file drawer somewhere.

of course the system that we use is TERRIBLE, and we can't just print out an attendance report... we have to go class by class, month by month, and the damn system is so slow it takes at least a couple of minutes per month.


2. Using a laptop that is terribly slow and out of date already, but the system is set up to require a damn full virus scan EVERY DAY in the middle of the work day. it makes the computer that already struggles to run word processing software grind to a complete halt.

Ugh, working with a bunch of females is bull: I feel like I am in a sorority with women making everything about them and bitching about every little thing. So your microscope light was left on one time. That doesn't mean I was the one who did it and it doesn't give you the right to send an email (to me with CC to our supervisor and director) containing offensive language like "I am tired of this shit..." And why haven't you been fired for misconduct yet? Oh yeah, cause you're too busy "flirting" with the doctors, trash talking me and planning your next thrift shopping event with the staff.

How about I am tired of your crap! Me doing yours and my work while you're on vacation every other week and working every weekend and holiday because if you have to work, you'll cry about it to the doctors and them feeling sorry for you. And then you complain that I am doing your work.

You're a lazy sack of crap that can't handle a little work and competition.

sorry

^ ironically, I'm a lady too But good, I am glad to hear that not all workplaces have this kind of issue.

And ironically, she is kind of a big girl. But that ship has sailed... I lost my job because of her Cause I "wasn't a good fit." But I wont let it bother me too much because I'll collect EI and enjoy my pregnancy (which I found out two days after I was let go) .

I worked pretty hard and long hours and progressed very well. My supervisor was pretty upset I was let go, which goes to show you how political workplaces can be. I am disappointed in the lack of tact and professionalism in this place, and how one-sided upper management was.

SO if anyone in a lab knows of someone hiring, let me know :-) k thanks

6/6/2013 11:59:28 AM

where do you live^ I know a few labs in RTP area that are possibly still hiring

People not doing their fucking jobs and then ignoring emails calling them out.

It makes it more difficult given that the biggest offender works a schedule completely opposite of mine.
