Lol this is gold. Fucking HR people are the new Real estate agents. All the bullshit they put in a fucking job advertisement. Friendly and fun environment, Learning and development with opportunity to grow lol.
“Friendly and fun” = we force you to celebrate everyone’s birthdays, engagements, baby haverings, etc and so forth with cake and mandatory card signage and possibly gift/money givery.
“Learning and development” = you’ll be forced to participate in mind numbingly stupid seminars, self directed online courses, and/or online presentations.
“With opportunity to grow” = grow mold as you fester in the wretched job.
There’s two options here 1 I have met a fellow Italian 2 you are a master chef (I don’t believe anybody else outside Italy could match the right pasta with the right sauce )
what, you don’t eat spaghetti with every meal? there is a culture, and sometimes even a practical reason, for certain culinary traditions? Lasagna is a meat dish instead of a pasta dish?
Nice so … let this be constructive for both ends … Yeah we eat pasta really often like really often most of us at least once a day if not twice but we make it like 200 times more healthy than (as I heard) u probably did for instance we don’t use ketchup on the pasta we use tomato sauce and there’s so much difference it scientifically proved one Italian out of two will have a stroke discovering how you do it … 😉 We usually eat around 80grams (yeah yeah go have fun doing the conversion ) of pasta plus some meat and veggies… And that’s brings me straight to the point how the heck can u fill a dinner without some kind of pasta … What did u eat? Meat and meat ? 🤷 About your second question I will skip it u probably don’t really care and I will talk for like ages about stuff I somehow know because it’s instinctive that objectively aren’t so obvious… Aaaaand no lasagna would probably still be considered a pasta disch yes it has some meet but it doesn’t metter … Spaghetti con le polpettine (meatball spaghetti) also have meat but they remain pasta plus somewhere in remote regions of Italy we call the lasagna pasta al forno witch means oven baked pasta
you falsely assume I am America, also while pasta al forno is close to Lasagna, it’s not really the same thing (who would have thunk that different regions of Italy have different food cultures)
My bad I shoot for the highest probably optionand I missed … Yeah we gave the pasta al forno name to the lasagna and call that dish you probably refer as pasta pasticciata…
What they sometimes mean by “fast paced” is “we are going to have you doing many things that are not in your job description.” Basically, you’ll be doing the jobs of 3-4 people and some of those jobs will pose a significant risk to your health and safety.
I get that for most people, this is a nightmare. But for me, having lots of varied tasks is fun.
It’s why I took a job at a tiny city with 11 employees in City Hall. Nominally, I’m a permit processor, but I oversee the permitting process, GIS, coordinating third-party services, and more. Yesterday I made a map for the police, processed permits, drove across town to fix a manhole cover that came loose (we don’t actually have a public work department), took pictures for the city attorney of a mansion being illegally built and screwing up city utilities, and fixed a broken printer.
Yes, I’m stupid busy, but I enjoy the variety. I’m also paid more than double what most permit techs are, and have my hands in development, public works, finance, administration, and more. All of which will be useful later in my career when I want to move into city management at a larger town.
As someone who works in the edge networking side of things you are not being paranoid. Logging all web activity is extremely common. Some industries require it even if the powers that be in the company don’t want it, and it might surprise you on which verticals require it (education providers are a good example).
Oh I am confident they log everything as well but I don’t know if they would do anything about some Lemmy traffic once in a while. I don’t think they can afford to check everything if its not flagged or something like that but seems too risky especially when you can just use mobile data.
I’m starting at new office with that policy. I’m already scoping out the single desks. It’s kind of nice being able to ask people questions, but I’d rather just use webx these days.
For my last open-office gig, it was 100% necessary because every salesperson worked with a junior, and you had to listen to them all the time to teach them.
At least that open office has carpet. I’ve seen open offices with concrete or tile floors and walls. Those kind of offices are hell to be in. If a small group starts talking that sounds bounces around the room and then everyone has to talk louder because they can’t hear each other. And managers are surprised that everyone wears headphones or don’t want to be in the office at all.
It was designed to pack more people into an office plan. The open workspace has been proven to be ineffective, but it makes people more money, therefore it’s everywhere
That looks quiet and positively spacious compared to the last open office environment I did time in.
Imagine that same space but 4 people between the column and the window instead of just 2. Then make the space 3x as long. Then reduce the space between the backs of the chairs by 50%.
Even though everyone in the space was doing individual programming / sysadmin work, the space was extremely loud just from a few spontaneous conversations between people working on the same thing together. Everyone wore headphones nearly all the time, only taking them off if they needed to talk / shout to the people near them about something. Often, if you needed to talk with someone sitting 4 desks away, the easiest way to do it was over IM.
Nope, just a massively overcrowded office building. The ventilation system could barely keep up. But, management made it clear to us that the reason for the open office layout was to encourage collaboration and foster creativity!
Where I worked, it was just six wooden tables with computers on them. It was awful. They didn’t have room for cubicles, so it was pretty much the only option, but that didn’t make it any less awful.
How anyone gets any work done at all with a single monitor is beyond me, actually no, I know the answer is they don’t.
I’m an IT manager and have advocated for at least dual monitor at every workstation for a decade. Every time we’ve transitioned a department to dual we’ve seen significant productivity jumps well worth the $100 per station it costs.
I have no idea. I barely prefer working from home be the office because my desk at home has 3x 24" 1080 and a 32" 4k. Vs driving 100miles one way to the office to sit at 2 monitors, I can get so much more done at home
Let’s also remember that Willy Wonka fired all his workers and replaced them with slaves, in the original draft of the book they were people taken from Africa, so pretty much resembles slavery verbatim.
I’m not going to go too in depth with this because there’s a whole video already breaking it down in entirety (you can find it here.
I once had a salad with what I thought was feta cheese on it, but it was actually blue cheese. The shock almost killed me. As did the awful taste of the blue cheese.
