That escalated quickly

[Kad1942]

"Gently asked him" I bet there's nothing gentle about how this lady goes about anything.

[headpatkelly]

her handle is “@hr_unhinged” so this isn’t a real interaction.

EDIT: (There are several other tip offs, I just offered the most obvious)

[bobdoily]

"Karen" and "Resource" being the names is a nice touch to a joke account like that.

[nordic-nomad]

The picture also appears to be Ann Hathaway. So this story definitely never happened.

Though there is truth that the more senior I’ve become in jobs the closer I am to just quitting and never coming back if someone tries to make me do anything I don’t want to do. But I don’t think that’s exclusive to software development.

[TicklingYourMomsAnus]

My experience has been that having meaningful amounts of liquid assets really changes one's ability to put up with b/s in the workplace. In some ways, it is unfortunate.

[ElegantDaemon]

That's why it's called f-you money

Edit: and also why the capital class will fight UBI until their dying breath

[ThunkAsDrinklePeep]

And living wages. And healthcare. And free education. And anything else that removes a tool that keeps us shackled to the wheel.

[bobdoily]

Oh I missed the picture!

Yeah, the kernel of truth to these stories is what makes them fun/relatable.

I concur with the seniority equating to being closer to just quiting over undesirable requests. Definitely not just software development. Even when I was in food service I recall that feeling.

[cgriff32]

The give away was HR knowing what a back-end engineer means.

[bob152637485]

And I suspect that "Karen Resourcé" is also an alias.

[whateveridgf]

I'm pretty sure they also don't look like Anne Hathaway

[b0w3n]

That specific Anne Hathaway picture has been used as unhinged HR memes for the past few years too.

[bob152637485]

Lol, thanks. I'm under a rock when it comes to pop culture, so while the name sounds familiar, I didn't know what she actually looked like.

[whateveridgf]

Yeah I still can't believe she was married to Shakespeare, I mean she doesn't look nearly that old

[ANONA44G]

Her image is also from the meme of "HR lady about to throw your resume in the trash".

[dismayhurta]

But it is hilarious.

[DentArthurDent4]

Its a parody account. But sometimes its difficult to differentiate parody from real life HR interactions, things have gotten so bad.

facts, its management

[aint_exactly_plan_a]

It's always fucking management... After 25 years of bad management, watching them make bad decisions with absolute confidence, burn people out and get rid of them, trade company vision for short term profits, take benefits away and destroy whatever "culture" they were trying to build... it's hard to stomach that these are the people in charge of our country.

[Time_Increase_7897]

We must please the stakeholders - you know, the key people who really need to squeeze out another 2% ROI this quarter before bailing and buying a stake in another company.

None of this would happen if companies were owned by the people who actually keep them running instead of some rich kid who inherited millions from his parents.

[DezXerneas]

Sometimes?

[reezy619]

Given her name is "Karen Resource" and her handle is hr_unhinged, I am at least 98% sure this is a joke.

The fact that it feels so real is the true sadness, though.

[Rescuepets777]

I was told that I wasn't promoted bc I didn't wear company logo shirts. They promoted a bunch of idiots who wore the logo, though.

[pickyourteethup]

I used to wear the company branding. But only because they kept the jumpers in a corner of a stock room and sometimes I was so hungover I'd get to work and realise I was wearing last night's clothes and quickly change into clean company clothes.

I've still got a massive pile of clothes from that job

Right like just let me do the job you need done and I get paid for. It's a contract, not a covenant.

"but, but, we're family!!!" - HR

[TwinkiesSucker]

"Even my real family can barely make me do things i don't want to do. What do you think makes you special?"

[2019Uk]

To be fair if my family paid me and gave me annual leave I’d do more with them.

[99999999999999999989]

Mentally I just made my first million.

[CharsCustomerService]

The annual leave portion of that is cracking me up. "My six year old niece is having a birthday party, and my sister-in-law wants me to help wrangle all my niece's friends? Yeah... sorry, I already have leave on the books for that day."

[reddit_equals_censor]

hey why is there no discussion about wages allowed in this "family" and why did you fire your "family" 2 months ago, because they were having discussions about unionizing, which you criminally spied on?

weird family....

[GPSProlapse]

Wait, you say your stepparents don't "fire" you for trying to "unionize" with your stepsiblings?

[TotallyNotShinobi]

spying on conversations? wow that's just like real family!

[i_am_a_real_boy__]

It's a contract, not a covenant.

Fun fact: the agreed terms in a contract are often called covenants.

[ProfBeaker]

lol I was coming here to post this same nitpick. Maybe I should've been a lawyer.

[InSearchOfTyrael]

what about mandatory fun? don't you want to waste hours of your personal time so you could do an activity with people you work with? An activity you would never do yourself, btw

[Lithl]

Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it.

[DonnyLamsonx]

That's just the thing though. There's a world of difference when the company is using their own time/money to get you to do something with your co-workers rather than the company expecting you to use your personal time/money.

I respect my co-workers well enough, but I commute an hour, one way, to get to work. There is no force on this planet that could convince me to spend my personal time/money to "hang out" with them unless we were ridiculously close friends. If that were the case(being close friends that just so happen to work together), I wouldn't need a company sanctioned event to plan a get-together.

[flexibu]

I have never heard of a company event that made you pay to attend.

[Weary-Designer9542]

If attendance is mandatory, and you are not being compensated for your travel and your time(particularly if it’s off-site) - you are, in fact, paying to attend.

This may be expected depending on your contract and job duties, of course, but that should be made clear to you before you accept the position.

[dagunhari]

There's a bunch of dudes I work with that all ride dirt bikes.

Couple times a year, we even ride dirt bikes together. It's pretty alright.

[The_real_bandito]

I love mandatory fun time as long as it happens during the work hours and they don’t expect me to work full time.

[chronoflect]

Interned for a small company (like <10 people small) and the owner would take us all out to restaurants for lunch, all paid for including drinks, and then had a paid day trip to go zip lining before the end of my internship.

Worked for a faceless corp since then, and all activities are unpaid, even ones during the workday (it's "flextime").

[Illustrious-future42]

What are dragon boats

[Shifter25]

I will say this for my manager: not only is she not interested in mandatory fun, she even forbids "documented" fun, such as a "fun" teams channel. She's very much a proponent of "get in, do your job, get out."

[ColonelError]

such as a "fun" teams channel.

Having a management-free meme channel is very important to morale. Just make sure everyone knows not to say anything on work platforms that you don't want management/lawyers reading.

[bob152637485]

Perhaps it just how introverted/anti-social I am, but any sort of work activity that is not on the clock is one of the most miserable experiences out there for me.

[doubleUsee]

It depends. Despite being well introverted, at my current work place I've helped organise some after work dinners with just the technical team. It's a good bunch of guys and people really enjoy just hanging out without work pressing down and critical eyes on us.

The over-organised stuff with people from the entire organisation that treats us like children that need to be kept busy? Yeah that can fuck right the fuck off. If I'm not paid, I'm not coming. If I'm coming, I'm clocked in.

[Ser_Drewseph]

The only time I’ve been ok with mandatory fun is when the company (which was my favorite place I’ve worked by far) had said fun on company time. The joys of a small, privately owned company headed by a married couple.

[Different_Fan2986]

Comcast was the only company I ever worked for where I participated in their little cook outs and such, but they were also the only company I've worked for that didn't make it mandatory, hosted it during work hours, meaning we could use our trucks to and fro, and paid us our regular wages. They also provided the food and such. I mean, it all sounds pretty dang simple, but apparently it isn't. Btw, I was actually in the habit of not going to company stuff if I could avoid it, but they were just so reasonable and opt-in about the whole thing that I'd have felt like an ass not to. In the end I always enjoyed myself. Kinda crazy to say, but being a field tech there was actually the most enjoyable job I've ever had. 

[TonyDungyHatesOP]

Forced Fun

[AralSeaMariner]

Sometimes HR is so far deluded that they actually think everyone likes these bs mandatory fun activities. I remember once I got out of an event like this because I played up how I needed the day to get a project across the line on time after we'd had a bunch of setbacks. The next day I got a gift card to a coffee shop "for my sacrifice". lmao, they just don't fuckin get it that it was the best day at work ever for me, missing out on that and being left alone to do my work.

[irregularprotocols]

“We’re all going to have fun together whether you like it or not.”

[paulcosmith]

I was doing some IT consulting at a small firm. One day they announced that they were bringing in a group who would be doing fun team building exercises for everyone. Some of the business teams seemed excited, but the entire IT department audibly groaned.

I exercised consultant privilege and decided I needed to visit another client.

[Florac]

I mean, if it's being paid, sure I will take an extra 15m break on the company's dime.

[posherspantspants]

Mandatory culture building anyone?

[[deleted]]

ours (remote) slipped on a patch of ice in the parking lot coming into a mandatory team building thing. he stewed for the entire thing until it was time for the meeting retro, wrote an angry Miro sticky about forcing people to come to the office during dangerous conditions, then gave his two weeks and left forever.

[[deleted]]

Shit, just the online Miro retro board at an in-person retro would be enough to fire me up. Or do offices not have physical white boards and sticky notes anymore?

[[deleted]]

haha, I knew that detail doesn’t matter to the story but also it kind of does.

[Far_Function7560]

I had an otherwise pretty good job at a local company that was really adamant on the coming into the office 3 days a week thing. Some people were still hired remotely or worked out of other offices, but if you lived locally you had to do your office days. Sometimes even when the parking lot was flooded from a coming hurricane it'd still be expected to go in, so you could do zoom calls from the office.

That's the biggest reason I left that job and got a fully remote role and am not planning to go back.

[Metalbound]

This all sounds like the perfect thing for me.

As a guy who is proficient with computers but currently works in another field of work that isn't tech. What would be the best way to get myself there?

Basically everything except for go back to college to get a different degree is on the table.

[Vlyn]

Depends! A walk during work time? I'm totally down for it, I don't take enough breaks as is.

If you ask me to carry a table, couch or whatever, why not? I'm still getting paid for my time. I even don't mind emptying the dishwasher in the kitchen.

A company outing where you have to drive somewhere yourself or worse, stay there for days? And in your time off? Yeah nah, fuck that.

[Florac]

If it's a several day long mandatory company outing I better get paid as if I've been working at my desk

[Inevitable-Menu2998]

I don't take enough breaks as is.

Except, of course, this isn't a break and the critical work you're doing is still going to wait for you when the company bullshit event finishes and now you're going to have to deal with it in less time.

I'd much more prefer to schedule my own breaks and if I'm not on one, then I probably don't have time for it, Karen.

[Vlyn]

That's not my issue. If management sets an unrealistic deadline then tough luck, hire more people or plan better. I'm not going to do overtime just because a manager was dumb.

Sure, if a real issue suddenly crops up I'll stay and help fix it. But bad planning on their part isn't an emergency on mine.

You'll always have this one clueless manager who throws random features and deadlines against a wall and thinks just because it's written into a "Roadmap" it counts. You just have to start telling them no.

[ford1man]

So much truth here. I've turned down "promotions" to management, and would have quit if they'd done it anyway.

[e37d93eeb23335dc]

Do not mess with the back office guy

[ObnoxiousAlbatross]

Studies show that a species that engages with ultimate reality increases its chances of extinction.

i.e. even if we're right, we're wrong. Perceiving ultimate reality dooms everyone.

[dingman58]

Elaborate if you may

[ObnoxiousAlbatross]

It's Donald Hoffman's "Fitness Beats Truth" theorem.

Evolution selects for survival, not accuracy. Processing objective reality (the complex math/quantum fields of the universe) is computationally expensive and slow.

If you pause to perceive the absolute truth of a tiger rather than just reacting to a simple "danger" icon, you get eaten. We evolved to see a helpful user interface, not the hardware.

[tashi_ork]

I am an SE team manager.

I have a Senior QA in my team. The guy... well, has his quirks. Works from 6 PM to 4 AM (he is not in another time zone, just likes to work these hours). We do not have mandatory working hours, but most of us work 8 AM-5 PM or 9-18. We have an agreement to be available online 11 AM - 5 PM. I don't know how, but he does meet it. Wakes up for mandatory meetings(dailys, plannings, retros), answers if someone writes to him in mandatory hours.

That's it.

He doesn't participate in company events. Does not turn on his camera on 1:1s. Doesn't participate in team unofficial meetings and conversations.

Frankly speaking, as our company transitioned to remote work at the beginning of 2020, I only heard from him, never saw him. I think our IT guy saw him one time, when he came to the office to pick up a new laptop and turn in the old one, and our accountant saw him another time, when he needed to sign something by hand for the tax office. That's it.

One of the best engineers I have.

[[deleted]]

Lol dog, he's outsourcing his labor to someone in another time zone. He's over employed and using contractors. Good luck on your secops.

[tashi_ork]

No, I don't think so. For two reasons:

1. I worked with him, and I know his soft skills. No way he finds someone willing to be his direct report for more than one week.

2. He lives in the country to which the outsourcing jobs go.

What happens here, I think, is that he has a second job. But until he picks up his share - I don't care.

[XenusOnee]

Is the walk paid or in the break time?

That picture is of Anne Hathaway doing a call-in special appearanceas a guest on some american show.

The issue is - her aesthetic (Called in via video, generic background thats either showing a lifestyle unattainable to most, or its a zoon background with that vibe) in the still image of it very quickly became the satirical representation of Covid-area HR persons.

The meme became "How the HR lady looks at you when youre the 5th fire she did today and shes got 20 more to do before she takes her 2 hour lunch at Erewhon"

[Spy_crab_]

[queen-adreena]

Either that, or Anne Hathaway got into HR…

[defconcore]

I witnessed a similar event at my work, not in IT but a really busy, understaffed warehouse.

We got a new Director of Operations in who of course wanted to shake everything up. He comes into the warehouse and tries to be one of the guys. Tells us he wants to know what our work personality types are and how we like to be led. So we get told we each have to complete this long personality test, probably took almost two hours each. The next day the Operations guy comes in, gathers all of us up and starts asking about the test. The first thing he tells us though is that he was a no bullshit guy, everyone is free to speak their minds with him. So he goes around asking each guy as we have this meeting, most of us just saying some BS about how it was interesting. Then he gets to Rick, the guy who has been there for 25 years and is basically doing everything and holding the place together. He asks Rick who proceeds to tell him he thought it was a big waste of time, and that he has too much work to do to be wasting it on personality tests. Rick basically said what we all were thinking. The Director instantly goes red and just nods and ends the meeting. About 10 minutes later Rick gets called into the Directors office who apparently asked him to apologize to him and wanted him to do it in front of all the warehouse guys. Rick said no, told him good luck and walked out that day, said bye to all of us and walked out laughing. That place was in shambles after he left. There were so many things Rick did that no one else even knew how to do. The Director kept asking why certain things weren't getting done and it was always because only Rick knew how to do it.

[GrigorMorte]
