Thanks for the kind words. They will probably end up not filling the position because it leaves one less person to pull from their bonus pool. That way they can still show a healthy bottom line, and the pay-out to them is higher without impacting cost. I love what I do as it is a skill that I can use anywhere. And I like the people that report to me as they are competent and try to improve things when they can. I protect those guys pretty fiercely as when something goes wrong here...it's second nature to blame the equipment. Unfortunately the President is one who can be presented all the information, and he will get onto the people responsible and tell them it has to change.....but he is so busy he rarely has time to follow up to see if anything was done aside from the next monthly meeting...and then it's like we do the same thing over again. A lot of it is my fault. I personally invest myself too much into things to a point to where I even carry it home. So there is work that needs toi be done on my end as well.

The office renovation rose from our conference room being our emergency storm shelter, but not having enough square footage to encompass all of our employees. Therefore, they decided to cut the office, that I am currently already sharing with another person, in half and make the conference room larger. Considering my position, what I know about the requirements of the office space, points of egress, etc. I threw multiple options out that would solve our problem of limited space. In short, the plant manager has Napoleon Syndrome and is the type of person that is too busy explaining how smart he is and how right he is rather than listen to reason. He gets an idea in his head and runs with it, regardless of how it affects anyone else or suggestions that have been made by his subordinates. He is also the type of manager that hides around corners and eves drops on people's conversations so that he inject himself into the conversation to feel like his opinion is needed. He's a very odd little man that obviously has some self esteem issues. Last edited by King Rudi; 09-24-2019 at 08:11 AM.. |

I'm less than productive this week. End of last week I was informed by our FACILITIES department that upper management has decided to invest $xx,000 to do a 5 year strategic IT plan.
Did I mention my title is IT Manager? I almost walked out that day. The Facilities director distracted me with questions about a camera project and the lack of internet access at the proposed location. |

Thanks. It really want about money other than just being treated fairly. Most of that raise will go into retirement funds anyway as we budget on what my salary was almost 15 years ago.

last thing i need is to be sent daily texts (when i'm the only one on the exec board that gets these) about reminders that doesn't create value for me, or my team. brought it up on our e-board meeting, was silenced, today after the text i said no and dropped it. we're a college organization. we think we're hot shit, but we aren't a full time job. everyone involved does this as an extracurricular. we don't need to be putting in OKRs, nor should we be doing "exit interviews". at least for the guy who was in charge of event logistics. all this bureaucracy was not here when i joined, and it only was set in place so that our VP can suck up to a startup by implementing their methods. |

Still trying that Weapons of Ass Destruction venture? Are you thinking of just destroying the bathroom or an all out protein fart assault? I'd also be interested in your rates. |

Yeah, you're probably right. We should just go on about our day then.
Jesus man, you're worse than those pathetic women who make passive facebook posts such as: "You know who you are. Just wait....." thus inviting everyone's curiosity. Act like a man. Either spill the confession or don't; but either way, shut up. edit: this was my 1234 post |

I also hear those lighthouse keepers can be really crazy too. Island living, cooking food, drinking whiskey, tending the bulb and whatnot....utter madness I tell you. We all guard our lives, it is hands down the most important thing to any one of us. I'm guessing if a person were to go after someone's kin this would mean relatives of said individual would be affected, this would indeed be mafia-like. Sir, your antics grow tiresome. I'm going to have to ask you to exit the confessional with this bullshit. Next.... |
