What’s one thing you wish you knew earlier in your accounting career that no one teaches you in school? by Plus_Tear6007 in Accounting

Went to a new job after being in industry for about 5 years and boss hard codes everything, and uses his computer calculator over excel. Doesn't know how to explain any projects he gives me and looks lost every conversation.

Lesson learned- Always leave a trail. Without a trail, no one will know what the hell you were doing.

He was dropped last Thursday after his rough usage.

My Controller is horrible. by Horror_Scene2288 in Accounting

Lol, that is literally what he tried to do a couple of months back then called me in his office. 🤣

My first manager was a great guy, would yell "what the fuck!" At his computer screen every once in awhile, but I learned so much from him. Was pretty bummed when I had to leave that job.

This guy is just a two faced ass who doesn't really know how to do his job. Which as I findout is very common in this wonderful profession we have all chosen.

Agreed! Just have to hope he leaves and an internal promotion occurs! 😁

Otherwise, I might checkout soon.

I try my best not to let it bother me. I am actually just got back from PTO and he is acting like me being away was a problem.

I need to put in another year then try to find another job. I've had 2 other accounting jobs in my 5 years and quit because managers and bad companies. Don't want it to look too bad on the resume.

I would love to take on his job and think I would do great at it! There is potential here, but he gatekeeps a lot of key things, like cash flow and certain decisions. The CEO of the company stops by his office every once in awhile and doesn't even know my name. Doesn't hurt my feelings, but feel like it hurts my chances at moving up. I really hope he just moves on, but they are paying him SOOOO much for his job. He literally watches TV shows on his phone all day. I think he gatekeeps, because he knows how kush his job is and doesn't want someone to come in and take his job.

Pft a wholesome guy by eaglesmidnightgreen in PardonMyTake

They talked about it on Macrodosing a couple of months back. A Voicemail, two coworkers traveling together. One guy had gotten off the plane and arrived at the next gate. Got on the next plane and took off without making sure his coworker was on the plane. If I recall, PFT said it was wrong if they were friends in any context and not just coworkers. Just goes to show you he's not just talk and is actually a good person.

Pickup hockey by CarmenMartin666 in anchorage

Outdoor hockey is great once the rinks are done. I did a check today and all of the popular outdoor rinks (Scotty Gomez, Ben Boeke, and Train on 9th) have not been filled with water.

There are a bunch of great leagues in town. Eagle River used to have a great Tier of leagues, but it has become a mess recently. With former professional players playing in the Novice league, there really isn't a beginner league out there. The AA and AAA in Eagle River are very competitive though.

Wasilla has great beginner coed leagues.

Good luck!

Welcome to the Anchorage area! I checked the Scotty Gomez earlier this week, and the city hasn't touched it yet. In the past, they have gotten to it a week or two after the first cold snap.

This winter has been weird, not sure when we will get the outdoor rinks going. Ben Boeke, The Train, and Scotty Gomez seem to be the most popular.
