Thread for inlog fuckery and other workrelated complaints.

[(Anonymous)]

I tried to log onto my employer's website to log my hours, but of course my login info didn't work and it'll be too late tomorrow morning. It's not the first time I've had problems with that site, either... I miss oldtimey punchclocks so much.

I hate punch clocks period. :/ When I started where I work now, we didn't have them, it was just understood that you're an adult, if you're supposed to be here between x hour and y hour, then you're there.

Then some idiots ruined it for the rest of us and now we have to punch in and out every day. :|

Re: Thread for inlog fuckery and other workrelated complaints.

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, we have a punch clock at work. I quite like it. Logging onto a website seems like more hassle than it is worth.

You want to know why no one is applying to your job?

9$/hr for thirty body-taxing tasks and no insurance. America is really hellbent on going back to the past when comics were 20c and you could pay for college with a part time job making chump change.

I average 60 hours a week on a low-salary exempt job. I'm not an entry level employee per se, but they pay me basically entry level (it's a non-profit). I SHOULD have been eligible for a big raise on December 1st when the federal minimum wage for exempt employees was going to rise, but Republicans, the biggest assholes on the planet, blocked it. I literally live paycheck to paycheck and I don't know what to do. I'm to the point where I want to demand a raise at my end-of-year review but I'm still a relatively new employee and I don't know how demanding I can be. I should have negotiated a higher salary when I started, but I was so desperate for the job that I was afraid I'd lose the offer if I did. Ugh.

I wish a lot of the entitled older people at work would realize how good they have it. Working for a company with full health-dental-vision, fully vested retirement plans, three weeks of vacation time, where the CEO and partners' first method of cutting costs when business slows is cutting their own salaries in half and saving the useful entry level people by cleaning out redundant upper management is living the f'n dream in America.

But no, sitting at your comfortable white collar job for 8 hours a day with all us "entitled" millennials is just too hard.

Re: Thread for inlog fuckery and other workrelated complaints.

[(Anonymous)]

On the weekend I manage a small team of 2 to 5 other people, and I swear sometimes I feel like Coach Bombay in The Mighty Ducks when he's all "I say keep your heads up, you put your heads down! I say hustle, YOU WENT SLOWER! Why the hell won't you just listen to me?"

I don't say anything like that, because I don't think I'm as big a jerk, but I'm really tired of giving simple instructions and having them not be followed. And this was after talking to my supervisor who says I can sometimes be too complex and slow things down. Well, apparently when I try to simplify, it all goes on one ear and out the other.

I feel like such a shitty manager.

The biggest job that my company does is coming to a (temporary) end this mid-December. It picks up again in the first week or so of February. And my supervisor, who is awesome, is on the verge of quitting because the 'big boss' (who is only the bb of our branch) is a petty bitch who is doing her damnedest to make him want to quit because she doesn't like that he's 'taken ownership' of the job.

Which is what the *actual* 'big boss' (and owner) of the company and she decided the supervisors all had to do. They're also fucking with his schedule so he's not working half the days he was, and putting the utter idiot second supervisor in charge on more days. Where he gets flustered, bluffs with bs when he doesn't know the answer (often), brags about all the crap he's done in the past and is inappropriate with (often underage) employees.

There is shit-all do do in this town, and this is one of the very few good-paying/good hours job I can actually get. I'm so damn frustrated and i hate working with idiots, but if my awesome super quits, this job is going to suck goat piss. ARGH.

Political Musings

[(Anonymous)]

After the past month, I've been trying to figure out how we got where we are now and why by listening to conservatives on the online social spaces I frequent.

What is the most interesting part of my observations is that a lot of Trump supporters and/or alt-righters see themselves as oppressed and the "real" victims. After reading some of their stuff to try and understand how they think, I think they really mean it, too - a lot of their social media encourages and feeds this complex, and they can incubate themselves in FOX, Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, Infowars, etc. without any serious counterpoints. By the time they do encounter liberal arguments online or in the real world, they're armed with talking points and arguments from these sources and are sufficiently entrenched to reject the other side's arguments by principle rather than listen and engage. A lot of the ones I've talked to have basically plugged their ears when I bring up Trump's hypocrisies, his complete lack of relevant experience to such an important position, and the ample evidence that the "drain the swamp" stuff was BS.

(Not saying liberal echo chambers don't exist, and they don't have a similar effect, but they don't have the same political power, ability to mobilize voters, and success in getting chosen candidates elected that conservative ones do. All the same, I would argue that echo chambers as a whole are harmful to civil discussion because they tend to generalize and lead to seeing members of the other side as boogeymen rather than people, leading to increasingly extreme, divisive, toxic, and hostile discourse.)

They're on the whole socially if not economically privileged people. No one's going to pluck them off the streets, they won't be threatened or disenfranchised (and historically they haven't been), they can hold rallies, run for office, openly racist/Neo-Nazi organizations are legally allowed to recruit and operate, and they won't be jailed unless they commit crimes (even then they have the right to a fair trial, like everyone else). But I think they genuinely don't see it that way.

For example, when Milo got kicked off Twitter he carried on writing his stuff on Breitbart anyway, and banning him didn't really impede him, take away his audience, or seriously threaten his livelihood at all. He was never in any actual danger of losing life or limb - there are journalists in, say, China and Russia who are taking much bigger risks in fighting real authoritarianism. But acting against Milo (while Twitter was acting according to its legal rights, and from my understanding Milo had done things to deserve it) probably fed into the victim complex being discussed here.

(On the other hand, their tune often changes when they or their leadership is criticized or they even think they are - i.e, the Hamilton incident, the noises about boycotting Rogue One, all the flack the Dixie Chicks got back under Bush Junior. So a lot of them often aren't even consistent on that.)

Sex toy/tmi recs

[(Anonymous)]

Reposting from yesterday because I posted super late...

So I just paid property taxes and homeowner's insurance and to reward myself and make my poor bank account suffer a bit more I was thinking of buying a vibrator or a dildo or something. Up till now I've mostly made do with my hands when playing solo, but I get off better with penetration. Anyone have any recs?

China

[(Anonymous)]

Okay I'm just gonna confess my racism here.

I preferred China when it was a land full of dirt poor peasants. It really bugs me when I read an article about Chinese Millionaires and the Chinese Middle Class. I don't like that China has either of those, and it irrationally bugs me that we're getting poorer while China gets richer. That is not how it was supposed to go. That is not the world they promised me.

That is my racism, and I apologize for it. I'm working on trying to not let it show so much.

I hate my brain and body sometimes

[(Anonymous)]

Brain: *is finally onboard with working on final project which is due tomorrow, after weeks of "oh look, a bug!" distractibility, anxiety, depression, and procrastination par excellance.*. Is even contemplating taking short break from project that is due tomorrow to work a bit on final project that is due Tuesday, because even procrastination is finally schoolwork oriented.

Body: "Hey brain, I'm sore."
Brain: "No you're not, you're just trying to distract me."
Body: "No, my elbows and wrists and calves and neck and back all ache and my butt is going numb..."
Brain: "Shut up and work."
Body: "And my distraction is working, isn't it?"
Brain: "Fuck you."
