bickster Posted March 26, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2020 The female IT idiot at work has with most of the other staff just been furloughed We sent out a company wide email to the staff to make sure their contact details are up to date She's just had to email us... a change of address, a completely different email and a new mobile number (none of which has happened in the last three months at least) It was literally her job to keep this database up to date Another of the many ticks in her "useless and she's just had to advertise it to the world" column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 26, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2020 She's just compounded it by now asking us to add her work email to her contact details, completely missing the point that she won't have access go it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kurtsimonw Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Our financial director gave me a call this afternoon. It's one thing when HR calls to check up on you, but I really appreciated that someone high up, who really doesn't have to do this, made the effort to call. I'm also loving working at Aldi while I'm on leave from my main employer. The people are fantastic, and the job itself is pretty simple, but the time passes incredibly. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also a genuinely productive useful job right now (always was, but you know what I mean). Hopefully some long lasting respect for people with such ‘ordinary’ jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you are enjoying the new job mate. The Head of our business gave me a call the other day as well, he was just checking we were ok and thanking us for the huge amount of work we had done this week. It is a nice touch as you say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 This coming Tuesday I will turn 30, and my cousin will turn 40 as we share birthdays, and we get to celebrate these significant milestones (if you want to consider them that) in isolation. Australia has made it acceptable for weddings to have 5 people in attendance, and funerals to have 10 people in attendance. They didn't specify birthdays, but I think it safe to assume they don't qualify for a breach of the isolation measures we have in place. Anyway, we (my cousin and I) don't know each other all that well, but we have agreed to spend some time together on our birthday this year and just shoot the breeze over facetime or whatever app allows us to connect. So I am looking forward to this, I only ever see her at Christmas, and outside of that we have only ever really spoken when I reached out to her following the removal of both her breasts as a consequence of cancer. There was the time her father died too. We have a real knack for bumping meets during tough times. She is asthmatic and I can sense quite nervous about contracting this virus. I am beginning to understand what was meant when whoever said the greatest gift is giving. I would no doubt enjoy a celebration of my 30 years of some sort with my friends and acquaintances, and for the day to be about me. I am looking forward to speaking to my cousin, because I know she's not in the best space right now, and she says as much, and I get the feeling me instigating a dialogue and proposing a catchup has already lifted her mood. We are all we got man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Significant birthday in October. The good thing about being a consultant, people at work don't know shit about me and I don't share anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Have a Kellog's variety pack on standby in case of a food shortage, but couldn't resist the coco pops, the taste and the crackling popping noise they make in the milk cheered me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coco pops are the best thing about those variety packs. But seriously wtf are they playing at only putting one box of them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 There's two boxes of coco pops in the pack I've got, plus a box of frosties, cornflakes, rice krispies and Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes. Am hopefully going to save the second box for when the pandemic is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
