Tundras live: A Bunch of Idiots And A Bunch of BS- Resume discussion group

Not the same at all. Getting fired means you can't go there anymore. Getting banned means you have to stay away.

so good to know I am amongst decent folk.

as I am of the same caliber of person that will bump the social media zombie.

 

Classic millennial move. Also ❤️

 

if a company is firing a lot....then I start firing the idiots in HR.

they feed the pipe.

 

Teams is the sole method we use (and I'm GenX) for off-boarding. It's better than a text, but not much. It does give the recipient the opportunity to mute themselves and scream obscenities at me, which I appreciate for the folks that get caught in a layoff versus getting fired. I hate RIFs and telling good people they can't stay even though they're doing a good job.

 

It's not. One is identifying the meaning of the words, and the other is defining them.

 

This is for all you dog owners out there. How often are you vacuuming for the ungodly amount of dog hair. At least once a day in our house and I still find hair everywhere. I wipe the counters every time I'm starting food prep and still see hair floating up in the zone. And we have trained our dogs to stay out of the kitchen.

If a company/department is firing a lot, management needs to be examined. EVERY hire can't be the problem. Management is usually the answer for high churn.

 

I'm in the technology industry. With Co**d, we experienced a huge spike in sales because everyone was gearing up to work from home. That drove the need to put people on. Fast forward three years and our sales (along with the rest of the industry) slumped. So we have to reduce expenses to keep EFO in good order, to keep the 10k in good order, to keep the stock price in good order, to make the shareholders happy. We have our share of executive leadership problems, but (at least most of) the recent RIF wasn't due to them.

 

Uncommon sense cont...
Just 2 days ago.

We're the first car at a traffic light. My wife is driving and we notice a woman walking up the sidewalk that would pass in front of the 2 lanes waiting for green. As she arrives at the corner where she should push the crosswalk button or maybe even look around before setting foot into the street we get the green. Both the car next to us and ourselves have to wait, as we all three watch in disbelief as she keeps walking along in front of us and into the way of traffic. Lucky for me, I installed a train horn on the wife's rig a while ago. As the walker gets in front of our rig my wife smiles at me and blasts her with the horn. It scares the shit out of the zombie and she drops her phone and jumps back. She had no clue that she was walking into a crosswalk against the flow of traffic because she had been staring at her phone the whole time while walking up. Guy next to us gives a thumbs up and we all share a hearty laugh as the woman scurries to get her phone.

 

Truth. Gotta look at the whole equation. The hiring squad is part of it.

 

Hell yes!!! I'm waiting for Vitamin Shoppe to have a sale on them again. I bought a couple of cases of Ryse Grape Kool-aid on one of their Black Friday sales. They are good but that Ghost Welches is the shit.

 

My daughter struggles with this but she's 4...

 

Tis the shedding season.
Maverick sheds his undercoat in the fall and his outercoat in the spring.
Milo doesn't shed much, but he still sheds.

If you don't have these 2 items, look into it.
I'll ask Maverick if he wants to brush and he runs to the back door.
He then goes to the grass and sits down waiting for me to start..
Milo isn't into it, but he wants whatever Mav has so he'll let me brush him sometimes.

I use this for the undercoat on Mav and year around on Milo.
I remove the collar and thoroughly go over their neck, hindquarters, and tail.
Lots of loose hair there..

Full pass for anyone 14 and younger. But if you are old enough to drive then elevator skills are critical

 

Hawt…

 

Preparing for my annual review tomorrow. One of my “goals” this year was mandated for everyone on my broader team (200+ people) is honesty 100% not applicable to my job. The other goals are all pretty much “overcome by events”.

Thinking the best way to close out this year is just say “Let’s be honest. You don’t know about my job nor do you care. I accept that; so move along”.

 

What if they have to poop?! EVERYBODY knows that management keeps the softest toilet paper on the upper floors...

 

Hopefully they don't use goals as a measure of value and ding you at merit. That and forcing managers to assign values to individuals as 'best' or 'worst' (I have 6 rock stars who are all 'best' on my team) burns me pretty deeply.

 

Rookie move to be headed to mgmt floor having a Code Brown moment (movement?). Gotta stroll the floor like you are there for an important meeting. Not doing the one-arm-monkey-run for the bathroom.

 

Going back to bed. Hope to catch a couple more hours before going on nights.
