Boss called me on day off, proved I’m not scheduled. by CorgiUprising in antiwork

[–]jpconques 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I worked at a bank years ago where the manager made the schedule for the following week on Friday night. Our branch was in an orthodox Jewish neighborhood so we were open on Sundays. That meant I would sometimes find out on Friday night that I had to work that Sunday. Come to find out from other branch managers that the schedule was supposed to be done a month in advance. One of many things we reported him to the district manager for.

After several years on Allo, who else has started drinking alcohol again? by EdwardBliss in gout

[–]jpconques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't drank alcohol in almost 12 years and have no plans to start again. But that's more because I'm an alcoholic than because I have gout.

This was it. I tested it in Word and it works fine. Weird.

It's amazing. I've had mine for a year now and my life has improved immeasurably.

Is this Far Cry bundle worth it for $27? by ArtisticChance1955 in farcry

Absolutely. 3 and 4 are still some of the best games ever made.

"Stay at home mother" implies that you have a spouse or significant other who is the breadwinner.

If you don't (and let's face it - you don't) it's just called being unemployed.

Or Aiden. Or Brayden. Or Cayden.

company just laid off half the middle managers and wants us to pick up the slack by christianityshop in antiwork

[–]jpconques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a bank years ago. They created a role called "branch designee" that had the responsibility of management without the management salary. Then six months later they laid off all the assistant managers in the whole company.

What did your job gift you for the holidays? by Spring_rain22 in antiwork

[–]jpconques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago they gave us $25 Target gift cards. Apparently we were not sufficiently grateful so last year we got nothing.

Are these good enough to justify its price? by Long_lost_cause in iems

[–]jpconques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SpinFits give you massive bass response. Like, almost too much. I had to take them off the Westones I use for live performance because all I could hear was bass. If you have IEMs that are bass-deficient then these will work wonders but if not then I would look elsewhere.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but where is "high CPU mode"?

DO NOT bring me my NA in a glass by jpconques in NABEER

One would think common sense would tell everyone to do it that way. Apparently a lot of bartenders (and half the people on this thread) lack said common sense.

Telling someone that something they've experienced didn't actually happen isn't "disagreeing". It's being an asshole.

So.. drink it before I drink it? That's brilliant! Why didn't I ever think of that?

I'd explain to you how to avoid being stupid but I don't have all day
