Do you think that since Shinra is such a massive company, does SOLDIER have to deal with office buraucracies? I wonder how Sephiroth would fare against endless forms hell

Oh SOLDIER is buried in bureaucratic nonsense just like everyone else. There are at least ten forms to fill out, five meetings to attend, and three "approval processes" standing between you and basic necessities. Some notable mentions include:

• Angeal once requested a new desk after his old one broke. HR demanded visual evidence that the desk was no longer functional. Instead of sending a photo of the broken desk, he sent a picture of Sephiroth sitting cross-legged on the floor, attempting to fill out reports with a clipboard. Approval was immediate.

• The bureaucracy is so profound that Genesis had to fill out three forms to request a form that would allow him to request permission to submit a complaint about there being too many forms.

• Sephiroth was reprimanded for "recklessly abandoning office duties" after taking a walk around Sector 0 to clear his head. HR made him fill out a Behavioral Justification Form, which included the question: "Would you do it again?" Sephiroth, fed up, wrote "Next time, I'll be shirtless, drunk, and loudly negotiating rates with the nearest sex worker." The form was mysteriously approved with a note: "Do not."

• Zack submitted a vacation request to visit home. The system flagged "Gongaga" as an unrecognized destination and required him to submit a "Geographical Verification of Existence" form. When he pointed out that there's literally a reactor in Gongaga, they wrote back and told him that Gongaga doesn't exist. Zack had a nervous breakdown and had to be sedated.

• Angeal had to submit a Proof of Sword Ownership form before being allowed to requisition maintenance supplies for the Buster Sword. When he pointed out that he's literally the only person in the building with a sword that large, he was asked to provide a sworn affidavit from at least two witnesses. Genesis and Sephiroth were the two unhelpful witnesses, and respectively wrote "His sword is big~" and "Give the man his oil."

• Genesis tried to requisition a coffee machine for the SOLDIER lounge but was told he needed to prove "sufficient caffeine demand." In response, he submitted a video of Zack beating the energy drink vending machine with a crowbar when it was broken.

• Speak of the vending machine, Genesis once wrote "Banora White juice" under the refreshment preferences requisition form. This triggered a four-week investigation into whether Banora White products posed a "brand conflict" with Shinra's drinks. Genesis was fined for "improper beverage selection." He then showed up to HR with a pipe bomb the next morning and was consequentially banned from the floor.

• Genesis (this is after he was banned) once had to provide official proof of his own existence to be approved for a company ID renewal. He submitted all his paperwork and was denied. He then threw a can of Banora White juice through the glass doors of the entrance, shattered it, and was banned from filling out forms.

• Sephiroth tried to get the broken lights in the training room fixed. Maintenance requested "Proof of Insufficient Illumination." He sent them a pitch-black photo with the note: In photo: Myself doing "thumbs up" gesture.

• God forbid you need something urgent. Zack needed a first-aid kit for training injuries, and they made him submit a "Medical Incident Form" to prove people actually get hurt during combat simulations. Angeal wasn't having it, so they malicious compliance-d their way out of it by carrying Sephiroth, pretending to be on the brink of death, up to the HR office to show them.

• Sephiroth requested blackout curtains for his quarters to block the constant glare of Shinra floodlights. They asked for proof of "adverse effects caused by lighting." He sent them a picture of himself, showcasing his dark circles and an expression so deranged that they sent him the curtains, along with a wellness check request.

dude yesterday was a fucking trip

so there's this guy at work on the other side (a branch of the lab that i don't directly work with), hardcore trumper, total control freak self-righteous asshole kind of person who brags about how many guns he has, like a real piece of work

and he bought, on black friday, a pair of meta smart glasses, and, supposedly, wore them to work

now, i heard about this tuesday, and my instant thought was "oh my GOD the hipaa violations there" because we see so much phi, like, constantly, like everything that we see is phi

and the person who was telling me about this was like "i don't think they're going to do anything about his behavior"

but i was like "okay but hipaa. like. HIPAA."

so i sent an email to a couple of the people over there saying, basically, hey, i heard about this, i think they're not really looking at this from a hipaa perspective, because like it's more than just a violation of your privacy, it's a violation of patient privacy, here's a link to the policy i think he's violated, i believe it should be reported to institutional compliance (who is above hr) and action needs to be taken but since i didn't directly see it, i'm not going to jump the gun on this unless you ask me to

and somehow

somehow

he saw the email

best guess is that one of two people i sent it to walked away from the computer with her email up, he saw his name in the subject line, and he read it, and assumed that i had reported him to hr

and he fucking exploded

the next morning he sent this rambling, raging email to both me and the girl who told me about this, calling her a pathological liar and sarcastically saying shit about how i think i'm the purveyor of truth and how if i think i'm such a great patient advocate then i should report all these other incidents (of human error, which even in his email admitted to being fixed before they could affect patient care) by all these other people, that could have cost the hospital millions of dollars (incidents, i should note, that he did nothing about) and basically all-around just being completely unhinged and, frankly, scary

and he fucking cc-ed our manager, his boss, and the medical director

he was so convinced that he was in the right, that he fucking cc-ed his own management with his ranting

the manager replied with something to the effect of "i understand that you're upset but this is not the way we talk to coworkers" and quietly cc-ed an hr representative on the email

the manager and the medical director both came up independently to ask if i was okay, the manager assured me that, yes, i did everything exactly right, and that hr was absolutely going to address it, and he commented that it was kind of good that this came out this way

because i mean. nobody caught him with the glasses. all the complaints about him are hearsay. he can wriggle out of anything... except this over the top rant at someone who was following red-letter company policy, which hr has now seen in all its fucking glory, in his own written words

so yeah. we got to watch someone absolutely implode and (hopefully) destroy their career all in real time

(i showed the email to a friend who is also in the field, who said that she was about to text her boss - who knows all the hiring managers in the area, it's a small field- to blacklist this guy. i sent her the email so that she can show her boss exactly what he said, and explain the situation in-depth. so yeah. fucking nuked his career.)

...but of course that leads to the tertiary concern, that this dude has guns. like, multiple guns. i told the medical director that me and the other girl in the email were legitimately afraid because of that and how he'd talked about them, and he said jesus in a tone of, like, oh this is gonna need the police to escort this dude out and get a fucking restraining order holy shit

haven't heard anything today, but uh. that's what's going on in my world right now.

[naritaren]

Oh so day 2 of working under the new director went far better. Yesterday she sent me a pretty accusatory email that had the executive director and HR cc'd on because she thought I didn't do any work. I responded with a long email last night explaining every single thing I did. My tone probably could have been better so I was a bit worried about that but it got "addressed" today in the morning meeting.

She basically went "thank you for that email. It helped me see what you are doing all day"

And then I fully explained the thing that she got mixed up and her exact words were "why are you doing the DMs job?" Which is something I have been trying to talk to HR about. They basically took me out of the DM position but kept having me do parts of the job. Which was confusing to her because I'm supposed to be helping with compliance issues and I wasn't doing any of that because of this shit.

Anyway. I don't need to do that shit anymore. She legit went "no. Don't do that. I'll talk to HR"

By the way? This is the most supervision I've had since late May. So yeah

Today's Strike in Aotearoa

Today (Tuesday 10 September), thousands of Woolworths employees will walk off the job between 12-14h in protest. For those overseas, Woolworths is a major supermarket chain in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, one of the most profitable businesses in the country.

In August the union bargained with Woolworths for nine days on the topic of a living wage and understaffing issues, who dismissed the issues while claiming it had brought a strong offer to the table. A week of early strike efforts followed; non-compliance with media and social media policies, workers wore stickers reading "underpaid, undervalued, understaffed" on their uniforms, and 10 stores gave out flyers in the style of a receipt.

"This is a case of one of the largest and most profitable businesses in New Zealand deciding that their workers no longer deserve a fair deal and must accept whatever they put on the table - it just doesn't work that way," FIRST Union national organiser for retail food Ross Lampert said. "Our members are seeking a living wage, safe staffing minimum standards and fair compensation for giving up family and leisure time to work understaffed night and weekend shifts."

Woolworths managing director Spencer Sonn said that the supermarket already pays top of the market, but this is simply untrue. The Woolworths starting rate is $24.93/hr, while Costoco's and Foodstuffs' are $27/hr and $26/hr respectively. Minimum wage is $23.15 and the living wage is $27.80. (Obviously, the currency here is NZD) If the pay was as good as Sonn says it is, then why is a Woolworths duty manager unable to shop there, even despite her staff discount?

The strike actions were followed by interference, bullying, attempted intimidation, and outright lies from company managers. This includes hiding strike stickers, telling staff that wearing stickers breaks the law (it doesn't), and threatening disciplinary action for striking (that's illegal).

"The cost of living is so high and it’s really hard to imagine surviving on the pay offer that Woolworths are talking about - it’s less than the rate of inflation and basically a pay cut for everyone."

But after the aforementioned efforts and even more fruitless bargaining, the union is still miles away from reaching a deal. Which brings us to today, where a central rally will take place in Auckland, and thousands more Woolworths workers around the country will be walking out as well. This will be the country's first ever national walkout by supermarket staff!

an examination of echo chamber amplification

el gato malo

Oct 24, 2024

for some time now it’s been pretty obvious that there are multiple realities trying to occupy the same physical landmass in america.

we’ve grown entirely apart and lost and and all common ground and agreement on anything resembling a consensus material plane.

everyone’s own opinions seem to come complete with their own set of facts and this fact seems FAR more prevalent on the left who are increasingly furious with not just the right and the center but seemingly with the fabric of reality itself from physics and biology on down.

possibly not since the french revolution has an aristocracy been this far out of touch and more and more it seems to me that the leaders of this trend are inhabiting entirely hallucinatory realms.

hateful realms that they pitch as “joy.”

it’s positively soviet.

i have some theories on this.

let’s look.

i have an honest question: “why do these people hate men so much?”

and how are they this staggeringly unselfaware about and entitled in this hatred?

how can they not see it for what it is?

how do you get to here?

i mean, it does not take chops as the world’s keenest observer of the human condition to suss out that:

people in therapy who think everyone needs therapy are perhaps not the best yardsticks for “who is in crisis” but likely rather for “projection”

that this is astonishing self-delusion and self-deception

that the truly great irony is that basically no women actually respect or desire the sorts of men these pundits purport to support

this is not about making strong, happy men or preserving or validating any vestige of chivalry. it’s about shunting them out of the way to be hall monitored into compliance by the HR department. this is real, actual hate, vilification, and marginalization as the “lived experience of men” is denied and made female (and a broken female at that).

what’s even more astonishing is this this tribe thinks that it is about joy and that this is somehow “healthy.”

how does a subgroup get like this?

just how much of this “joy” is anyone supposed to take?

[obsessivedilettante]

I could technically leave work early today but I have grocery pickup scheduled at a time that I would normally be leaving, so what’s the point.

Anyway, I am officially a month (!) into this new job and I am learning that when I sold myself as a “well-rounded office person” they apparently took me seriously.

I can’t begin to tell you how many conversations and discoveries I have made so far just by asking what I think are simple things, like:

“Hey, where do you keep those documents?” We don’t actually have those documents, much less keep them.

(On being asked a simple office question my second week) “Hmm, I don’t know, what has your policy previously been?” There hasn’t been a policy, at least not officially.

I mean, I’m literally creating the office stuff from scratch. You can’t imagine how long my task list is already, just from me going, “Oh, okay, well that’s something that will need to happen.” And it will only happen because of me!

To be fair, this is literally why I was hired — the ED is too overworked to take care of the nuts and bolts of running the place. I’m here to bring everyone into compliance and get them organized and sail them smoothly into HR and accounting waters.

Which cracks me up because I see who I really am, an ADHD disorganized disaster who struggles with basic bureaucracy (I never went to the doctor the last couple years because I couldn’t figure out my new job’s insurance) and would prefer to daydream the day away if she could.

But for other people, I am an organizational genius who makes sure every detail is accurate when making sure we’re compliant with all the policies.

People sometimes think that this a job I seek out, that I enjoy, that I’m some sort of type-A perfectionist. When really it’s just what I could put on the resume due to random bits’bobs of experience, and here we are. The Office Genius.

I am quite fond of pens and sticky notes, though. Always have been.

Anyway, so this is me, bewildered at the path life has taken, but realizing that my basic experiences during my “just trying to get by” struggle years, now make me the kind of person who can fix a fractured and disorganized office.

Yeah, I’d rather be doing something more enriching. But I like bringing beauty and order from the chaos and nothingness.

Even if it’s just an Employee Handbook.

[burritosandpeppermint]

I feel like every little thing with my job sets me off now, so I'm sorry if you're tired of me ranting about it and then continuing to work here. I'll keep this "below the fold" so you can move on if you're not interested. I really won't be offended and I have no true way of knowing which of the dozen or so of you will read this anyway. Also, it's me so I'm not looking for sympathy but I'm also trying to learn not to push away other people's affection so...do what you want?

Also, if you feel like this is something that could be part of some larger conversation about work and capitalism or whatever, then please feel free to reblog it. I don't really think this will be enough to explode my career, and if it does, then it was on shaky enough ground anyway.

The company I work for got acquired by another, much larger and more famous company (and a rather infamous one here on Tumblr) about five years ago. Eh, why am I being cagey? I work in email compliance and privacy for Marketo and we got acquired by Adobe.

Anyway, I'd been through a couple of acquisitions before but this one was pretty cool. A big name Silicon Valley company! A cool campus to tour in San Jose! A new office space in the same city I lived in, and with only a 45 minute walk from home to office! Really, pretty cool.

Over time the excitement on my part and Adobe's part seemed to wane a bit. There were new acquisitions and we were no longer in the spotlight. That's alright, things happen, time moves on, and ultimately I just kept working, because abuse never stops and companies keep buying lists.

But after my mentor left for another company we got a new manager, and he's great, but he's been with Adobe for a while, and most of his focus is on the Adobe part of the business that he manages, and he cares about us and fights for us when he can, but we're definitely not his primary focus. Also, in the past couple of years the workload that myself and my one coworker/colleague do has steadily increased. To make things worse this year they finally implemented a huge change in what CRM we're using and it's causing all kinds of havoc because most of us who are directly working with customers now have to manage two portals or figure out which customer matches with which or educate yet another person on where to go to accomplish what they need. We also started getting direct feedback loop (FBL) reports from a new company that seems to only send them in a new-ish format that has been accepted across the industry but is honestly not really used by it, but our system can't parse it so we have to process every single one manually rather than feed it to a bot that can automatically process it, further increasing our workload. We've also been told that there's a team who can help us to automate certain aspects of our work, so we submitted examples of what we need help with and they said it seemed doable and since then...nothing. To top it off, during a recent "town hall" quarterly all-hands I asked a question in the chat that was basically "In light of the strong performance we've done can we hire more people to support our customers and colleagues?" and the answer is "No, because we don't want to have to lay people off if there's any kind of downturn."

Okay, so...not great.

So now, today, the day before Thanksgiving, the week after Open Enrollment closed, the day after I accepted the Year End Check In on my calendar - which will be grueling because, as noted above, we've been over worked and under staffed so I haven't been able to get to any of the projects that I was hoping to get to this year - I saw an email from Adobe that looked like it was part of the corporate spam we get every freaking day, and it was from the HR company/portal we use, so I clicked on it and

OOPS

Looks like you clicked on an Adobe Phishing Test Link

Read here to see how you could have prevented this...

And I'm incensed right before a holiday, and I just hate it.

Because as much as I hate to admit it I really bought into the corporate capitalism of America from a young age, bought into the shiny toys and apps and promises of "helping" people ("And if we happen to turn a profit, that's great, too!") to the point that my dissolution with capitalism has been a long, slow, denial-ridden journey.

And that's because it can be all too easy to regard those earning the joke that is minimum wage as being the only victims of capitalism and wage theft, but if we're being honest just about anyone who isn't making millions of dollars a year to tell the world and their subordinates how great their company is is really just sitting in a pot of water that is slowly getting hotter.

We're all being paid the least amount of money that companies believe they can get away with while trying to extract the most work out of us they can legally get away with, and they're probably getting even more than that if we're being honest.

So to get regular emails about how this organization put us on a list of the best places to work for or another invitation to another seminar about how I can work on being more efficient or less sad because, you know, that's apparently 100% my doing, and then get an email that I don't bother to really scan because, like I said, given everything it seems pretty legitimate, to be told "Well, you fucked up" was just the one more thing that I didn't need this year.

I really hate to sound like the middle-aged white man that I am, but I'm just tired of not being respected for the working professional that I am. I've been in this role for eight years. I know how to talk to customers about the actions they've taken that have caused harm to their reputation, or what abuse has been foisted upon them by malicious actors; I know how to engage with Support and customer managers and run Compliance Team meetings that focus on what's important; I know what blocklists are important and actually affect our customers; I know, engage with, and am friends with people who run the email servers at companies you know and might actually use; I'm one of two people who manage thousands of IPs and domains for thousands of customers, trying to protect the network's reputation and safety from the customer's own actions and also outside actions of people who would do nothing but abuse our systems all day if they could.

And what am I told by my company?

"We can't help you because it would make us sad if we had to let people go! :("

"Have you considered not having the feelings you're experiencing during work time and just working more instead?"

"Uh, oh! We send you so much spam that you fell for our trick! This is all your fault."

What does the company value? Is it me and my time?

No surprise, AI is the buzzword of 2023 in the tech world, and email is seen as more of a forgotten backbone that I think people believe is 100% automated. Meanwhile the valiant few of us are knee deep in water in the bottom of the boat with duct tape and Gatorade.

When I've complained about work or my career in the past it's felt more like angry grunts; this is kind of the most articulate that I can really be about it.

I'll be 46 next year when I take my sabbatical. If something doesn't really change at all I might have to make some tough choices.

I'm afraid of trying to change careers or companies (if I even can; people much more experienced than I am are being laid off right now).

I'm afraid of trying to go back to school while I'm working because I just don't think I'll have the bandwidth for it, and I don't know what I'd go to school for, or if it would pay what I'm earning now.

I'm afraid of staying where I am.

I know I earn okay. I know I have benefits and that I can work from home in my pajamas.

But I also know that the good times I have with work are less and less these days, and opening my laptop is more of an invitation to an assault on my confidence and self-worth than ever before. And that's just not sustainable.

Lmao I feel that so much. There's been two jobs I've had, retail and hospitality that I just fucking walked out of and never looked back. One made me have a breakdown, the other I was old enough to know that "I'm not fucking paid enough for any of this, the regulars are miserable to be around and unhelpful, they are going to fulfil exactly zero of what was agreed upon during interview. Week two? Bye. Quitting through e-mail. Get fucked." Never regretted it.

I have also walked out on two jobs.

One of them was a desk job. I worked as the head of legal compliance for a shady loan company. A debtor emailed in and begged for mercy, basically, because his life had gotten so far out of control that he didn't know what to do anymore. It was a whole long thing that I didn't really care about, but he caught my attention when he mentioned that he keeps thinking about how his revolver still has two shots loaded into it from the last time he went shooting.

As someone who's been suicidal before, I looked at the exact verbiage he used and knew that he wasn't joking or trying to play on my sympathies. He spoke in a very matter-of-fact way that I easily recognized as genuine. I waived his interest and told him to just pay back what he'd taken out and gave him the phone number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline.

My direct superior (who hated me) took that as a good opportunity/excuse to write me up and demote me from my position. She said that I had "violated company policy" by "acting emotionally" and giving out the phone number for an "external business." Both she and the head of HR berated me for this for about twenty minutes.

I refused to sign the write-up, walked out, and never went back.

My boss's boss (the director of office operations) ripped her such a huge new asshole over this (because he and I were tight) because she did this without getting the okay from him first, and now that place had to try to scramble to function without me. It was apparently so bad that she fired six other people in retaliation.

The second job I walked out of was when I left that cult. So, that wasn't a desk job...

but it was a cult. So.

Control Structured Data with Intelligent Archiving

Control Structured Data with Intelligent Archiving

You thought you had your data under control. Spreadsheets, databases, documents all neatly organized in folders and subfolders on the company server. Then the calls started coming in. Where are the 2015 sales figures for the Western region? Do we have the specs for the prototype from two years ago? What was the exact wording of that contract with the supplier who went out of business? Your neatly organized data has turned into a chaotic mess of fragmented information strewn across shared drives, email, file cabinets and the cloud. Before you drown in a sea of unstructured data, it’s time to consider an intelligent archiving solution. A system that can automatically organize, classify and retain your information so you can find what you need when you need it. Say goodbye to frantic searches and inefficiency and hello to the control and confidence of structured data.

The Need for Intelligent Archiving of Structured Data

You’ve got customer info, sales data, HR records – basically anything that can be neatly filed away into rows and columns. At first, it seemed so organized. Now, your databases are overloaded, queries are slow, and finding anything is like searching for a needle in a haystack. An intelligent archiving system can help you regain control of your structured data sprawl. It works by automatically analyzing your data to determine what’s most important to keep active and what can be safely archived. Say goodbye to rigid retention policies and manual data management. This smart system learns your data access patterns and adapts archiving plans accordingly. With less active data clogging up your production systems, queries will run faster, costs will decrease, and your data analysts can actually get work done without waiting hours for results. You’ll also reduce infrastructure demands and risks associated with oversized databases. Compliance and governance are also made easier. An intelligent archiving solution tracks all data movement, providing a clear chain of custody for any information that needs to be retained or deleted to meet regulations. Maybe it’s time to stop treading water and start sailing your data seas with an intelligent archiving solution. Your databases, data analysts and CFO will thank you. Smooth seas ahead, captain!

How Intelligent Archiving Improves Data Management

Intelligent archiving is like a meticulous assistant that helps tame your data chaos. How, you ask? Let’s explore:

Automated file organization

Intelligent archiving software automatically organizes your files into a logical folder structure so you don’t have to spend hours sorting through documents. It’s like having your own personal librarian categorize everything for easy retrieval later.

Efficient storage

This software compresses and deduplicates your data to free up storage space. Duplicate files hog valuable storage, so deduplication removes redundant copies and replaces them with pointers to a single master copy. Your storage costs decrease while data accessibility remains the same.

Compliance made simple

For companies in regulated industries, intelligent archiving simplifies compliance by automatically applying retention policies as data is ingested. There’s no danger of mistakenly deleting information subject to “legal hold” and avoiding potential fines or sanctions. Let the software handle the rules so you can avoid data jail.

Searchability

With intelligent archiving, your data is indexed and searchable, even archived data. You can quickly find that invoice from five years ago or the contract you signed last month. No more digging through piles of folders and boxes. Search and find — it’s that easy. In summary, intelligent archiving brings order to the chaos of your data through automated organization, optimization, compliance enforcement, and searchability. Tame the data beast once and for all!

Implementing an Effective Data Archiving Strategy

So you have a mind-boggling amount of data accumulating and you’re starting to feel like you’re drowning in a sea of unstructured information. Before you decide to throw in the towel, take a deep breath and consider implementing an intelligent archiving strategy.

Get Ruthless

Go through your data and purge anything that’s obsolete or irrelevant. Be brutally honest—if it’s not useful now or in the foreseeable future, delete it. Free up storage space and clear your mind by ditching the digital detritus.

Establish a Filing System

Come up with a logical taxonomy to categorize your data. Group similar types of info together for easy searching and access later on. If you have trouble classifying certain data points, you probably don’t need them. Toss ‘em!

Automate and Delegate

Use tools that can automatically archive data for you based on your taxonomy. Many solutions employ machine learning to categorize and file data accurately without human input. Let technology shoulder the burden so you can focus on more important tasks, like figuring out what to have for lunch.

Review and Refine

Revisit your archiving strategy regularly to make sure it’s still working for your needs. Make adjustments as required to optimize how data is organized and accessed. Get feedback from other users and incorporate their suggestions. An effective archiving approach is always a work in progress. With an intelligent data archiving solution in place, you’ll gain control over your information overload and find the freedom that comes from a decluttered digital space. Tame the data deluge and reclaim your sanity!

Conclusion

So there you have it. The future of data management and control through intelligent archiving is here. No longer do you have to grapple with endless spreadsheets, documents, files and manually track the relationships between them.With AI-powered archiving tools, your data is automatically organized, categorized and connected for you. All that structured data chaos becomes a thing of the past. Your time is freed up to focus on more meaningful work. The possibilities for data-driven insights and optimization seem endless. What are you waiting for? Take back control of your data and unleash its potential with intelligent archiving. The future is now, so hop to it! There’s a whole new world of data-driven opportunity out there waiting for you.
