Three weeks ago, I hired a new direct report.
He's called in sick twice, no called no showed twice, and I haven't heard from him today. He's missed 5.5/12 days so far. WTF

i have 3 screens in my cube at work (2 monitors + laptop screen) and there is a spreadsheet on every single one.
I see. This is an order but only 4 week lead time. I was not expecting that. I may do some ultra something again. I could be convinced to do something out that way.
Ordered the low spec model since I’ll probably change every thing on it anyway.
Impressive and admirable. Might want to rethink his employment status.
I've had a few go through three weeks of initial training and call me on the first day of actual work to quit.
I'm already laying the groundwork for what happens next. Contacted my boss and working on contacting HR. I'm a slacker but I'd never consider no-showing on my third day of work
POW POW POWERPOINT@jonKranked, Somehow I always knew you were a freak in the sheets.
I mean, I give 1/3 of a fuck on my best days, and even I think that behavior is egregious.
how many asses do you usually put in?
I had someone coming in for an in person interview yesterday, from the phone interview they were basically going to get the job and the in person was to check they weren't a complete freak.
They no showed...
They no showed...
Probably had another offer in hand and were like "fuck it". I had somebody interview, was well liked, and confessed that they had already accepted and basically interviewed out of guilt. Thanks for wasting our time!
A phone call or email takes literally 30 seconds. "I appreciate you considering me for the role. However, I have been presented with and accepted another opportunity. As a professional courtesy I wanted to let you know as soon as possible so that you could move forward with other candidates".
I'll never understand people that can't do this.
Repeatedly. I still have hope however. Thinking about it now, it sounds like I'm the one with the issue.
Shit if I know, I normally just draw the parts and leave the machine voodoo to the machinists, but this was apparently too complex for them. I assume linear ways as the greasing system is a Haas OEM contraption. Not sure why they switched to oil from grease, but this is our last 2015 machine and only one that still had the old greasing system. Hopefully the production side can get their shit together so we R&D folk can quit fucking around with production and sell this turd to buy something cooler with more 5-axis-ness.
I try to be a good boss- I really want people who are sick to stay home and take care of themselves, and I don't expect people in a family emergency to visit the office...but I also would like to know before 12 that you aren't coming in for the day, especially when we are planning on working together.
but whatever...
We hired a gal, in the first 90 days she had used 2 weeks vacation, 1 week sick time, and 1 week personal time. And then she quit because we were flexible enough for her with her 3 kids. And she showed up to work at 9:30 or so everyday (doors open at 8).

Yeah, I get it. And I commend you for wanting employees to stay home for sick/emergency reasons. People being crappy humans seems to be becoming the norm, and it sucks. Or maybe I'm just noticing it more.
We have extreme flexibility here...it's awesome. I sometimes take advantage of it and feel bad, but then i look around and I think I might the most productive member on the team so I don't really know what that means. Hopefully my dude can get his shit together because another team just yeeted a young woman out the door because she fucked around and then found out.We hired a gal, in the first 90 days she had used 2 weeks vacation, 1 week sick time, and 1 week personal time.

In today's episode of stupid human tricks,
This unknown RV'er decided it would be fine to drive his toad for the day with his full coverage tow apron on. He is still currently sitting next to the dumpster for a tow truck because it overheated and won't restart.

my boss has flat out told me he doesn't care what hours i work as long as i meet my deliverables and am not just skipping meetings.
When you're on OT is 1/8 of an ass right?
Surely 3/8's of an ass if it's time and a half?
Not his fault they didn't schedule a second shift, 1/10 ass tops, 1/12 if it's catching up on deferred maintenance
You know damn well why. 'Merica.
