My preliminary stance is I would consider calling a doctor that I know fairly well "doc" and doctors that I don't know well "doctor"

imo

I also don't have a lot reverence for my fellow man...we're all just humans...not too many people are "better" than others, doctors, professors, people that lead churches whatever they're called, priests, ministers, whatever...you're just some guy...some guys get called "doc"...

Not often I agree with a mikey take, but this one is

Sucks there's no money in working at breweries. Both Fatheads and Platform are hiring heads of their quality departments. I doubt the salaries they're looking to give are much more than half what I make now.

Take both jobs. Ez, ur welcome.

If you can match you're current pay and do what you like that's worth it. Also, you have an incentive to do better doing something you like.

Probably around 80-90k for the QC lab manager.

You'd think so, but that's not what they pay in the beer world.

Jury Duty today.

Jealous?

I was just asked if my team supports door badge readers (we don't), because a manager wants to install one in a conference room to confirm who was in attendance. This sounds like micro management to the nth degree, but who knows.

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:24 am

I thought so, too. I've never heard of any company ever doing this.

Oof, that's a tough look...I hate being surveilled to that degree though...

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:33 am

I feel bad for whoever works for that manager. And I doubt my company will be willing to spend money on something like that.

Tell him to show up at the meetings so he can see who is there.

Postby **meow** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:44 am

A sheet of paper and a pen also accomplishes the same thing if you really need to see who is in a meeting

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:47 am

Paper and pen? What is this, 1984?

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:51 am

In other news, I'm working with a vendor and am having an issues with one of the workflows that we need to validate. They say it's possible, so I ask them to send me the configuration settings. Instead, they ask me to send them my current configuration settings. They want us to purchase their product, but they're wasting a lot of my time just getting this **** working.

Real business is done on paper, okay? Write that down

no, that's why we're passing on the badge surveillance

For our company wide training sessions, we have a sign in sheet for our training log to be filled out. The same can be done for a meeting if need be.

Btw, how big are these meetings that they can't just look around the room and know who is there and who isn't?

Postby **nocera** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:13 am

But also who doesn't trust their staff enough to know that they'll either attend the meeting if necessary or at the very least gather the information they need in order to be able to do their job after the fact?

and if you tailgate in behind someone or go to swipe and it doesn't register, then their theory goes to crap.
