Yeah, we have some people like that...it's not a problem, but I know that some people just assume the cleaning service will get it...but the cleaning service only takes out the trash, it appears as if they don't do anything else...

I decided to check my work emails last night so I wouldn't be overwhelmed when I came back from vacation this morning. I had an email from the president of our company with like six action items that he wanted all to be done by lunchtime on Monday. Several of them said something to the effect of "the things you've researched over the last week and a half"...I'm genuinely not sure if he knew I was on vacation, but he should have.
He apparently has also been assigning a ton of work to my new boss...who doesn't start until next Monday.

An extremely high-up (read: top) member of my employer has now reported twice that he/she could not access a door that he/she should be able to.
I find this to be hilarious. Amazing how a little LED can stymie years of education and experience.

I'm laughing at both that story and the fact that you spoilered it.

They prefer the use of "they" rather than he/she...or so HR tells me.

Getting close to leaving the gubermint. A couple senior management positions I applied and interviewed for, with more interviews/2nd interviews scheduled. Though I won’t leave for just anything, two of these positions come just short of an annual salary with a 2 followed by 5 zeros. Not sure I could turn that down.

With all that extra cash, I hope it means you will have less time to spend on this here websiteGetting close to leaving the gubermint.

Depends on where the job is located. A 200k salary in Pittsburgh means living high on the hog. A 200k salary in San Francisco means eating ramen noodles while you live in a cardboard box.2,000.00 isn't that high.

I’m pretty sure that my boss is close to leaving, which would really, really suck for the entire department. He has picked up the slack of two other managers, one who was fired for generally being useless, yet faces continual and unfounded criticism from our new, incompetent, and mentally unstable CTO.
This woman is batshit crazy, and has already driven three highly skilled employees to resign. She went postal on him the other day because she saw non-standard hardware in our cubes, and wanted to know who the hell approved any of it. My boss had to remind this cretin that our team is responsible for all of the hardware in the entire organization, and that hardware was our test gear for our next line of standards. Because, you know, actually testing what we want to spend millions of dollars on is probably a good idea. To most people, apparently.
We were then forwarded a spreadsheet from Miss Batshit and asked to fill out our major projects/initiatives. Inside that document were her own notes, allowing us to see that she doesn’t even know who two people on another team are, even though they directly reported to her for over four years. You can’t make this kind of crazy up.
We also found out that this contractor that she hired to review our upgrade plan, who is in over his head, and was paid $30k, is a personal friend of hers. I’m not sure if there are rules against this, but I’m looking into it. She is also apparently hiring another friend of hers for a senior director position that is about as qualified for the job as I am for to be a nuclear physicist. Zero IT experience, yet will be a senior director in the group.

Got notified of my first pay increase today (wasn't permanent in time to have a review last year, and pay increases hit at the end of September). Nice little bump, and more than the 1.5% minimum that most get.
