What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[SBJ]

I don't know if I should be bothered or not, but I am.  Last day at work - been here 9.5 years.  Only 2 people have said goodbye.  Last person to leave was here for 3 months and was thrown a huge party with cake and ice cream.  For me:  nothing.   

That would definitely bother me.

Have you given the impression that you don't want a big shebang? A few people at my office know that, when I leave, I don't want a party or anything.

Not that I know of.  I am over it.  3 more hours and I am out of here.  Wish it was an easy day, but the last 2 weeks have been super busy.  Took tomorrow off, and start at the new place on Monday.   

Best of luck with your new job! I hope they treat you better than the place you're currently at.

This place has been ok.  I was just surprised about the lack of anything for the last day.

How are some of my supervisors less educated and experienced than I am yet get paid 6 figures? How did they got those jobs they very clearly do not understand how to do?

There is a TON of incompetence as you go up the chain - it's absolutely baffling. I seriously cannot understand how some of these people got hired. Does anyone work in HR for a tech company and want to shed some light on the hiring or job app review process? It's to the point where I will describe a basic function or straight forward test case and just get a blank stare back with zero input. Then an email 2 hours later asking me to detail what I just said step by step - and after all that they still cannot do their job properly. Who ****ing hired them?!? It makes me super salty knowing they make so much more and don't even seem to understand why they are there.

They knew somebody and had the proper connections.

Hahahaha..

It's not their job to mind the details..

It's YOUR job to know what THEY WANT YOU TO DO... You are on the detail..



There is a great deal of misconception about the corporate hierarchy.

Managers need to know how to Manage,  if they come from a technical background, even better..

But their PRIMARY concern is managing the PEOPLE that do the actual-work.


As for who gets paid more... haha... His job is NOT your job,  his job is just as difficult as your job..

You are the Grunt doing much grunt work, yes,  but the manager's job is complex in other ways.. 

-- You will be able to fully compare how difficult any task is, However keep in mind that the time cost to any action regardless of difficulty is roughly the same --


Maybe he's responsible for Kissing alot of ass.. 


I assure you,  that job is soul crushing, and he drinks himself to sleep..


This happens often as you move up the ladder..


But this is the way the game is..



WHY is it so stupidly silly..  I can give you the answer but it's a very long one, and I'd have to teach you many things..

I'm not sure there's space for that here..

PM if interested..

Sounds like you've been there too. But honestly, I would EAT ass (not just kiss) with a smile if I got that kind of salary.

I assure you ,  the soul crushing is real... many of them end up very broken people...

It's a system that creates psychopaths.. hahahahahaha..



Also, being a psychopath is not a --good-- or --bad-- thing..

Certainly, you wouldn't like to live with one.



However, though selfish,  psychopaths make significantly more objective and predictable decisions..

In terms of a management role.. this is often more efficient..

ditto on the psychopath thing when they're selfish. It's kinda easy to spot who really is one -I know my friend from school is-, but then It makes me think about how it is in everyone's nature to act in self-interest, but the extent depends on morals/empathy/conscience. So I can really never know

Keep in mind,  psychopath is a LEANING..

There's no Established line which perfectly identifies a psychopath..


The majority of the DSM book would diagnose just about everyone having one disorder or another due to the imprecise language used in psychology.


Very concisely,  people are different,  and they each serve a different purpose in the grand scheme of -humanity..

A person may be a general bad guy,  but that does not mean this bad guy is useless..


For example,  let's say you need a spy or specialized-soldiers..    These guys have to be able to KILL efficiently,  they can't be mulling over emotions, or looking at puppy fotos on their ipads panasonic tough-book..


So, a borderline psychopathic murderer is perfectly suited for certain tasks.. as long as there is a community around him to keep checks in place..   Everyone regardless of their level of empathy can coexist and be useful.

Newegg customer care done ****ed up everything

I RMA'ed a display I just bought, dead pixel, nbd. But the item goes out of stock before they can fulfill the request. Ok fine, I call them, give me another option, I don't want the refund I need a display.

"Sorry, our system doesn't let us do that." to which I call bull****, any ecommerce/ERP solution can handle that, but ok fine w/e

I ask them to issue me a Newegg credit instead of refunding my PayPal, which will process faster

confirmation of completed refund comes in, still says it's refunding to PayPal, which will take 3-5 business days to process

the display I want to get as a replacement has a promo code that ends on 6/22, so I really need that credit ASAP, so I call them back

me: "stop the paypal refund and issue the credit like i asked not even 4 hours ago"

Newegg: "sorry, it has to be sent to accounting first, it won't be processed until tomorrow because they have different hours"

it's now tomorrow and I'm still waiting for that damn credit

**** off Newegg

I'm kinda getting used to 40% keyboard... still kinda slow with typing on these switches and I don't feel very efficient with the layers but idk...

Excessive consumption of cabbage may lead to increased intestinal gas which causes bloating and flatulence due to the trisaccharide raffinose, which the human small intestine cannot digest.
