Work & Life

[Grafter]

I personally jus don't want to be expected to work from home jus cos someone else does when they have a cold.

[Grafter]

>>>>>Being the sole point of contact for something

I'm technical lead (the only one) for Apple Macs at the Uni. They sent me away on a course to do Windows SCCM training and some ungrateful c*nt has kicked off at work. The head of ops and the security manager were emailing me until midnight about stuff cos the director is hassling them. Now they talking about pulling me off the course.

I told them I needed someone else I can train up but they refused.

Are u a permanent staff member?

Member of ur union?

Spoken to hr?

[The King]

Ye I'm permanent.

They do have the power to pull me off the course but the issue is that I'm the only person in the whole of IT who manages the Macs so when I'm not there, they're stuck.

If you're ill its not like the work that you had to do for that day goes away, it piles up and you have to catch up.

Worst thing when you're the only guy on a project. 

[Grafter]

Yh but thats not how a good job is suppposed to be. There should be contingency. Thats how u know ur understaffed and under trained.

Dont jus accept this kind of life.

I know certain people love bein the only one who knows something cos it makes u indispensable but u can end up messin ur self up.

I'm no slave. I do my hours. I tale my sick leave. Fuck it

In my last job if I was ill essential work was covered by my colleagues an the rest would pile up. But why am I getting stressed about the pile up?. I do what I can. If I work while sick it takes me longer to recover. Just because the work isnt physical doesn't mean it doesn't take a physical toll.

People need to understand that work isnt always life. If ur are employed then u need to know what fair employment is

[Grafter]

This is the problem in this depression. 2 sometimes 3 people job wrapped up into one role.

Its a chief and its not right

Again in my last role I never used to moan but when things got unmanageable I spoke up. Laid out my work load an just stopped takin on new tasks. I didn't have visibility of my counterparts workload so I put my foot down

They then recruited 2 more people doubling the resource

[JOHN DOE]

You have a point 

 

i suppose the pressures in life mean you feel you have to work to avoid the long term pain afterwards.

[Heero Yuy]

 

People fought for our right to sick leave. Use it

 

Would rather use those when I'm really ill.

Not about feeling a bit sh*t and bringing it to the office.

 

 

 

 

This is my absolute pet hate, if you're sick keep it at home. If I was an employer my office would be a sick free zone (within reason). Rather 1 guy off sick for 2 weeks, than 5 people off for 3/4 days.

Seen this too many times - especially at crunch.

You can see the gradual wave of people who have to go off sick spread throughout the studio because one hero brought his germs in.

[JOHN DOE]

If I was an employee I'd come into work when sick and save my sick days for when I want an extra holiday.

exactly 

this is what i do 

 

im currently doing it 

 

it shows you are not a skiver 

[Grafter]

Its wrong! And you make it worse for people who need to take the time off.

Anytime anyone is sick in my office people always assume they are skiving

Are you the one bringing ur germs in john doe?

[Yoshie]

Fuck that, if I'm ill I'm taking the day off.

Or working form home - that doesn't count as an ill day.

Taken 6 days off ill this year already, chuck in a few work from homes too, gotta make the most of it.

Plus my company is shit with holiday, start with 20 days and each year you work you get another year, gtfo

[Supermalt]

If im ill im off

I cant hack it. Sick days are there, use them.

Used a couple for hols still

He's got Ebola, caught it sipping from someone else's bottle.

[JOHN DOE]

LOL said noone

[Sole]

sorry idris.

[Grafter]

What kind of care?

[Guest eights]

Would rather work in river island

[Supermalt]

So many fuck ups in one day, i aint admiting nothing. Come at me.

[Niall Ferguson]

I reccommend that field of work for anyone looking for work and not sure wat they wanna do. U just need to do a course not a long 1 and u get a qualification then it is quite easy to get hired. It's not for everyone but it's much better than somethin like retail imo

Good on you mate.

[Grafter]

How can you not kno how to sort a column a to z in excel?

How do you get through education an work as an economist?

Cant get my head around it...I've come to the team thinking im on a back foot...

/

Championing work life balance as I always do an everyone was acting like "life? Lolwut?"

[Fresh]

How does anyone find out you didn't know, given that we have google

[Grafter]

Dude asked me to come over to his desk. He asked for help with it

Messed up my data validation cos he didn't understand how it worked.

I am shocked he didn't jus Google

Weird cos he comes across as really clever but my eyes are opening to this level of incompetence
