I’m cut out of the same cloth here. Are we brothers?
I tend to focus on my work and have as little as possible to do with orifice politics. Pay me well, and I’m happy, and will do my job, and I’m extremely loyal.
Unfortunately, being loyal has burnt me badly this time. Lesson learnt, I will remain loyal, first to my family, then to my paycheck/wallet. If paycheck goes below a certain amount, I’m going to ask for an increase. If that is promised, I’ll start looking for another work. However, if the employer is happy with me, and gives me a good increase, I’ll stay.
Lessons learnt.
Oh, and I’m picking up bits and bobs here (orifice politics) and the picture is NOT good… so glad I’m leaving.
It is now more than a month since I started querying the refill status of our CO2 extinguishers, and it seems this get passed on between two persons, one in Finances and the other in Procurement.
Like a ping pong ball.
Nothing is done, nothing get done, both of them gonna burn like nothing should something happen… Mr Murphy doesn’t have a schedule, he can strike any time he want.
You really should stop telling me that “I feel like I need to do something about this issue” so many times. I got it the first time and repeating it just makes me annoyed at you because I know you’ll forget all about the issue and your desire to “do something about it” in a couple of days.
A number given by a worker based on “how difficult/time consuming it is” is ambiguous at best and will never hold true representation of the time it takes to complete said task. Making decisions based on these numbers is an effort in futility.
Being told that you don’t know why I’m still working here is starting to degrade my performance. “I don’t know how you put up with this” may be a form of a compliment, but it gets me thinking how ick some of my job is.
What’re these little nubbins for on the balcony banister rail? I mean you see these in places like parking lots to stop skateboarders grinding on the rails, but this is an office building, and that banister rail is 30ish feet off the ground below. Nobody is going to grind this rail.
It saddens me to see that what was once a great company is now in a death spiral.
Software quality is not the same as what it once was. And clients are not happy with service delivery.
There are signs that our oldest and largest client may do a $DROP_DATABASE$ on the company, it seems as if management are high from kool-aid as nothing is done to prepare for that kind of disaster.
There is a whole section of my contract that explicitly bans sexual congress from all areas of the premises. However, it does not mention the transformer enclosure. So, technically, kinky sex stuff is permitted between the 10kV-to-480V transformer blocks
FFS, I know it’s a vb script, but you can still apply some good programming practices.
If it’s a File System Object, call it “FileSystemObject”, not “fs”.
If it’s a folder, call it “folder”, not "f"
If it’s a list of files inside that folder, call it “FileList”, not “fc”. WTF does fc even stand for? The f#^$% c&^ who wrote this abomination?
Edit: Apparently “filen” stands for file name, not file length. Can I please shoot the moron?
Your database people have no clue how to write proper SQL and every query and stored procedure should be audited by someone competent. I don’t know how this important new feature got past QA. Your core product people must do about as much testing as your services division, which is to say very little.
What I did say (write): This feature is broken because someone made a poor assumption about how SQL Server works. It was just luck that we saw the behavior we did. Here’s a patch for your code, open a ticket and make sure it gets fixed.
