micromanaging? is that what they call it? :)

yeah totally. i am just not zen enough to put up with this shit and not be tempted to deliberately miss the deadline. in fact i haven't even started yet but i'm not obliged to start any earlier than necessary to make the deadline, so they should really try & MYOB. i'm going to tell the next person that in fact - "i haven't started yet. could you mind your own business?"

maybe i should follow prev web developer's lead and set up a wiki or basecamp or something so we can all track progress instead of thinking hey it's cool, let's just drop by someone's cube and interrupt them whenever to check up on progress which is not actually our business.

nobody trusts anybody to actually do their job around here. but then, why would they, given that the actual managers have tendency to over promise despite lack of resources & then not communicate promises to production staff

yeah i hate when my boss jumps the gun and freaks out over shit that is not due until next week.

― maybe you should start a solo act called jerkface (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

that shit happened to me all the time at my old job. especially since no one knew how to write stuff, so a paragraph of copy that was due in four days was like serious business. and magic, since they were baffled, BAFFLED, by my ability to copyedit entire pages in under an hour.

― blastcap master rapper (gbx), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

though truth be told i prefer a quick turnaround time to shit dragging on forever.

my boss in a meeting today offered to take us all out to dinner if we meet our 1st qtr goals, which is as much of an incentive as anything else going on for me to just sit here and blatantly do nothing!!

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

So let's get this straight.. dinner.. your reward for this is to get to spend MORE time doing work stuff, basically?

― dar1a g (dar1a g), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm with you on the quick turnaround -- i never understood why they didn't make my deadlines shorter

― blastcap master rapper (gbx), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

more time hanging out with a bunch of people who cannot get their heads out of their asses: yes, that is exactly what i want to do instead of just go out with my friends and drink or maybe even just go home and shoot myself in the face, thanks.

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe ask if you meet your 1st Q goals if they can just bankroll an DCILX happy hour.

― break machine (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

we don't want to bankrupt the company, though

― maybe you should start a solo act called jerkface (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

YES WE DO

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

The work things on this thread = exactly why I am incapable of working for anyone other than myself.

T/S poverty and happiness vs. other people.

― John Justen wheedly wheedly whee chugga chugga whee dunt dunt dunt (John Justen), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm pretty ready to go that route myself except i have nothing worthwhile to offer to the world

― gin and sonic (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

hah, tell me about it

― ZR (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been trying to find out a way to cut out the middle man and just get paid to drink, but no luck yet.

― John Justen wheedly wheedly whee chugga chugga whee dunt dunt dunt (John Justen), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe I should move "John Justen and Fluffy Bear will drink it" to a paysite.

― John Justen teh dipsomaniac elite. (John Justen), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

if i ever learn to be halfway competent at design, eventually i could go freelance. looking forward to that. then, i can fire clients. sorry dude, it's just money, and i don't want your money. you're fired.

― dar1a g (dar1a g), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Alex has it down to getting paid to say mean things about people on the internet, but I think that's the closest any of us is to making our job reflect our normal daily activities.

― break machine (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

John Justen and Fluffy Bear might have to do a lot more than drink it on a pay site.

― break machine (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

John Justen & Fluffy Bear, a habanero, a blender, a webcam and a dream.

― break machine (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

so about 20% of the non-admin staff of my firm has put in their notice in the last 2 months - time to go?

― break machine (Brian Miller), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

coincidence on the timing? no.

ship is sinking? maybe?

― maybe you should start a solo act called jerkface (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the Hunter brand is pretty well defined: alcohol, tobacco, firearms
