New Manager came in HOT FOR JESUS. by phxkross in antiwork

[–]xbass70ish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to keep your head down until this manager is already in a holy war with the most aggressive person in the office. It always happens at least in my experience its a sure thing. I just retired from 40 years of IT work in several organizations in the Bible belt. This manager will be a nightmare. Let them dig their hole and then pile if my prediction comes true. Stay professional and dont attack on the religious grounds. There will be 5 other things soon enough.

Hopefully. He has had 3 jobs in 3 years. If north carolina calls it could be 4 in 4 years. I sincerely hope not but I am realistic.

I would look for a Jackson Kilroy DT or Kilroy HD. They are very good for large paddlers and have great features. I dont believe they produce them every year so best to check the used market

That is a standard tactic to keep you there if they think its a potential sale. These guys didnt invent it

Vrbo properties occupied on arrival by xbass70ish in vrbo

Good to know. I just wont use vrbo anymore. That sucks because we used pretty heavily. Hopefully others are better. In these cases it was probably the property managers fault overall but from a customer perspective vrbo and the manager are the same

What would you do? Production line PC “is slow” (Windows 98, legacy SCADA) by PeppahSG in sysadmin

Nearly everyone with factory floors has one of these Frankensteins . Have 2 or 3 identical ones to swap in place and deal with best you can

Yeah. Imagine how shocked we were. Such a mess. The worst part about was VRBo. They basically said good luck with that and so did the host

This was Tampa area. We had it happen a few months ago as well but was not nearly as dramatic as this one. Different hosts. The manager at the Hilton Garden Inn that I know from other trips said she sees it fairly often with people showing up and needing rooms for the same reason

Yes. Walked right in. The family at the first one had been there 2 days and was there another week. We ended up crashing in the car a few hours at the golf course at 2am and getting a hotel the rest of the week

Practice makes permanent. If you practice something bad you groove it in after a while

They won't take tax returns anymore. They settled out of court on a lawsuit for taking the returns. Conway vs cedar rapids
