Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

[MrsEddieBetts]

Straight sized seems a really odd label to me. I get it’s a response to plus sized but really can’t we just all be “sized”.

don't ask me I dunno

taking your hurt feelings to the news happens way too much these days

How often does it happen, though?

This is nothing - you should see some of the stuff that comes in on my email with a bunch of journalists CC'd.

Journalists have the option NOT to write about stuff.

a girly pop is a silly way of saying girl/gal pal etc
straight sized is anything not plus sized, e.g. sizes up to 10 (12 - 14 are now considered mid sized I THINK)

Hey I don't go to the big guy section at Target anymore, that means I'm straight sized!

Seeing who the journalist is makes you realise straight away why she choose to write the article

What's she done in the past?

 

[Anzacday]

I had to do an online Sexual Harassment in the Workplace seminar this morning.

I work from home 4/5 days.

Now I can't even enjoy my own company.

Sure you can.
Just need to establish consent has been given first.

to be nice and to use a term in the article, she isn't a straight sized girl

But most of her articles are about nepo babies, tik tok viral stuff. Topics that someone born before 2000 probably dont have much interest/knowledge in

 

[Gralin]

Possibly but the facts it's news worthy highlights a bigger societal issue.

I mean you could technically be a smoker or an alcoholic and be healthy. A doctor telling someone to not drink so much or not to smoke is fine, but telling them to watch what they eat is not? Strange times

stop reading news.com.au and you'll find that this sort of thing isn't actually news worth anywhere else*







*also don't read the daily mail

that is a very legit point you make

This year's Big Freeze beanie isn't as good a fit for me.

Fortunately I handle our HR compliance so if I raise a complaint its to myself

(isn't that ironic)

Senior managers that can't actually manage so find small vices to try & control so they feel important...

"you were checking basketball scores, save it for lunch. It isn't a good look"

GFY, we have colleagues doing puzzles in the common area or going out for a smoke every hour. BTW, have you actually read the brief you were sent about decommissioning a system?

"not yet. Reminds me your WFH is being wound back, we want people back in the office more"

Convenient you've glossed over the actual concrete work and focusing on nothing issues.

seek.com.au - for when people are too stupid to deal with. Should be their slogan!

Solid leap of a segue that one.

Easy to segue to what you want when you ignore anything coming back I guess

Such poor management just shits me no end.

The exact opposite of our director. He called me into his office to watch a bit from a Cheech and Chong movie the other week ha ha. He's very good at his job but he also frequently does shit like this.

He has some of those tendencies ha ha, I've thought this myself. But he's very good at what he does and switches on when is necessary, I don't think Kayooger had that ability.

I had a boss who used to drag me out on Friday's to go the pub and put footy tips in. He was legitimately good at his job, they relied on him for heaps of extra stuff but he also kind of didn't give a monkeys. The fact he was intelligent and a real manager, people listened when he asked for something

These idiots that just manage small vices to look busy, surely no one respects them but how did they even get the job? In my experience the most relaxed managers are the ones who are actually good at their job and the stress heads always busy saying shit like 'oh its 230 already, where does the time go?' are the morons

I dont think we're far off a story of Loper sleeping under his desk either (after a few cans). This picture checks out

Probably the key with our director actually. Another thing is I've had bosses who talk a big game to me about how they speak to upper management but when I'm there they'll bow the head and "good idea boss". He's the exact same in front of the big wigs, should be the case always but is rare in my experience.

I vowed to do this a while back when listing problems was viewed as a negative by management at the time. Just 'play the game' for your own prospects, results be damned kind of thinking

But gee this place is too stupid, I could have nipped a few problems earlier or saved myself re-work had I argued in a few meetings haha

I have done this in previous roles where dissent is less accepted by management for sure. In my current situation we have robust and healthy debates and end up with a way better outcome, because I'm being honest with him.
