CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette

[HaulCitgo]

Til the sweat drip down my balls

[The Sybian]

Snoop Syby Syb got a jobby job (offer). I'm expecting to accept it, but had final round interviews at a few other places that haven't made a decision yet. I preferred this one, and they offered the top of their salary range, so I can't imagine another offer dissuading me. One might pay bit more, but the hour+ commute a minimum of 3 days a week was daunting, and this job is fully remote with an office 30 minutes away when I do have to go in. Yet another California-based company (been working at CA based companies for the past 12 years), this time San Diego (sorry, SC!).

Well done. Congrats!

That's fantastic, Syb.

How long does your severance continue? Are you planning to start a new job right away, or take more time?

[The Sybian]

Severance is a few more weeks, and free COBRA goes until end of May, so I'm looking to start in May, so I don't need to pay COBRA or switch to my wife's plan. I'm going nuts, so I'm ready to get started ASAP. They floated June 3rd as the start date, but were able to move it up a week.

[Steve of phpBB]

You should see if you can start May 24.

[The Sybian]

You should see if you can start May 24.

When I started my government job, they had me start of December 31st. There were just a few people in, and none of them felt like working, so they all just hung out with the new guy. They announced we could leave early, either at 1:00 or 3:00, then I got a paid holiday. It was the greatest.

Great to hear man

[Giff]

Congrats Syb! Sounds like perfect timing.

[sancarlos]

[Johnny Carwash]

He's a real grinder.

He's a real grinder.

I think of myself as more of a hero.

He'll no longer be a po'boy.

[brian]

Your guys jokes are hoagie.

[rass]

Welcome to the sandwich pun club brian.

[A_B]

For the record...mine was an S&M joke that apparently had layers.

[Jerloma]

Congrats on the job, Syb.

You guys are on a roll!

[sancarlos]

All this wry humor.

[The Sybian]

For the record...mine was an S&M joke that apparently had layers.

NOW I see it! That's way funnier.

[DaveInSeattle]

These sandwich jokes have got a lotta mustard on them...

Really thought Rass was tracking with me.

Welcome to the sandwich pun club brian.

Did someone say sandwich???

[DSafetyGuy]

Ham Sandwich doing a nice job working both jokes.

A Chief Master Sergeant with 30 years in is retiring soon so, as is customary, a retirement ceremony invite was sent out to a segment of the base populace via email.

Well apparently that invite it also went to some civilian friends' emails and one dude hit reply all with the sentiment of "Fuck that two face piece of shit."

It prompted a return reply all from the full bird Colonel who's retiring the Chief. He left his personal phone number in the signature block.

Just gotta say, what a fucking Tuesday morning seeing that kind of correspondence on official channels.

[Giff]

What did the colonel say??

[Johnnie]

I was going to link the Facebook post, but it may have been deleted. I screenshot it.

[mister d]

Is "fukk" different than "fuck"?

[Nonlinear FC]

It's one "k" short?

I may have mentioned it before, but on one side of our floor has the C-suite offices. They always seem to have snacks and sodas even though we were cut off on this side of the door some time ago. No biggie, I can handle my own food, for all I know an individual buys it and brings it...I really don't know. But at any rate, it sometimes shows up in the kitchen on my side with a nice cheery "feel free!" note on it. And of course, they've been expired over a week this time. Which, somehow, seems even more disrespectful than just tossing the expired stuff.

Oh well, maybe I'm just on my grumpy bullshit again.

I am with disrespectful for that. It's got a very "we decided we didn't want this, you can have it now" feel to it.

[elflaco2]

due to some pending real estate changes, its highly likely that Giff and I will be within the same office space a couple of days every month or so....oh, the stories we'll tell!

Giff would be well to remember that snitches get stitches.

The idea that they get snacks and you don't is absolute bullshit. Like... gross.

[DaveInSeattle]

Totally out of nowhere...just got told I've been promoted to Senior Project Management, complete with an 8% raise.

Had no idea it was in the works...been on my yearly goals for the last couple of years.

[Johnny Carwash]

Congrats, Dave!

[sancarlos]

Congrats!

Hopefully that one dickhead you spoke of will no longer be your direct report.

[rass]

Congrats man.
