Well, I get to yet again exercise our backup system to restore a cert I stupidly deleted thinking my tests at validation were accurate before. Turns out.. nope! Nuked the wrong thing.
Luckily it was test this time, and I was deliberately experimenting there because I knew it wouldn't affect anyone.
Fixed it, and now I'm wondering WTF I did in the past to break things like this. Was there a reason I used 2 certs with identical contents and different names?
Effective November 16, 2022, your pay will increase by 2.3% to $29.159
Not nothing, it's about 90 extra bucks a month.
But also, that's the 2nd market adjustment they made this year. Back in February the district said "whoa, we're way underpaying your position in comparison to the area market. Here's a 7.93% increase" then in August they gave flat 3.9% COL adjustment to all non-union people making under ~$80,000/yr. So from August 2021 until now I've seen a ~13.8% increase in salary.
Possibly this is because I haven't had a performance based raise since 2018. I got promoted into my current position and department in 2019 following some...contentious negotiations with the teacher's union, and while they got paid more, it came with a freeze on merit raises for most of us and it's been only ~2% cost of living increases (usually just under, like 1.8%) for any non-union employees since then.
tl;dr: In 2019 I was getting paid $23.50/hr to do this job. As of a month ago I'm getting paid $29.16/hr and only found that out.

I've been having some jaw issues and it's probably not helped by the fact that I've been grinding my teeth. It's healing up. I can chew right now without any difficulty. But god my mandible is sore.

Only about 10% of my problems is my team doing stupid s***. The other 90% is suppliers making me sweat over getting materials in on time and managers from other stores treating us like the problem child my store has historically been.

Which makes it the longest job I've ever had. In a lot of ways it's still my dream job, as frustrating and annoying as it has been recently, but yea...huh. That and it being the anniversary of Repeal Day and I think I'm going to go make myself a hell of a cocktail. Cheers.
Finally had my performance check in after it getting bumped again and getting an email to do someone else’s work that they sent off from their phone for me to handle instead of talking to the guy that should have been doing it.
It was recommended to me not to dwell on the past mistakes of the team. I fired back that if those mistakes kept happening then we weren’t moving forward and they were going to burn out the people that are already doing other people’s work.
Lots of praise for me saving the day. Which will result in nothing. Lots of talk about “holding people accountable” when their last day is next week.
most of the other managers think the CEO has done fucked up
Seems likely! I think CEOs get bonuses based on how often they fuck things up for managers. Which really interferes with our managerial bonuses for fucking things up things for people doing the actual work.
Anyway, it's always nice to be missed on the way out. Like a Tom Sawyer funeral.
I talked with my supervisor yesterday, about the new job/promotion that he's working on "for me."
He has not gotten a salary range from HR yet, but he's going to call them today. The position will remain as an hourly wage, rather than salary , which is great.
Definitely the latter. I mean. It feels like they're trying to give the team more ownership. But I've played that game before, and it always ends up being bullshit. So I'm guessing that's what set off my bs meter
This is late, but if you couch it as "hey, we know this exercise isn't the most sincere thing corporate could do" and riff from there its usually well received.
When I was in the military I was the young officer stuckee doing our wellness briefings where we had to wax on about the core values for part of it. I was not a flag waving kool aid drinker, so it was a fun exercise.
I just tried to go beyond the platitudes to what they actually say. Like one value was have integrity. Just don't be a lying piece of shit and be accountable to each other. If you phrase it in down to earth language people use in the real world its waaayyy better.
Turn "Integrity First!" into "look, the minimum is being honest and accountable, its really not a big deal". I also sort of 'downplayed' the values. All they are is the baseline! Its so we have some mutual baseline to work from, so everyone understands the expectations. Turn the values away from something sacred into something functional. People usually respect and understand that. My commander actually loved that angle.
Adjacently, the values can be treated like de facto laws. Like, theft is illegal, but people still do it. Its not like you throw your hands up and make theft legal because people do it anyways. Its so when theft happens you can point to something that says not to do it. In this case, if someone acts without integrity you can go, bro, it was the bare minimum you clown
Now I like talking about this stuff because I like being different than all other kool aid drinkers and their stupid speeches filled with empty rhetoric.

I need a food processor because I can smell my blender's motor after making hummus. 2 cans was too thick for it.

We have two food processors, and a vitamix.
And the worlds tiiiiiiiiiiiiiniest kitchen.
