Corporate stand-up

2 Upvotes

Hi guys!

So the organisation has completed 5 years and for the off site celebration, I'm the chosen one for the standup:)

I don't talk to people and I'm not even that funny.

Please help me with some good jokes:)

GPT ain't helping and Claude is prepared to get me fired.

Counting Down the Workday

Upvotes
IN JUST ONE HOUR FROM NOWI'LL ONLY HAVE 4 HOURS LEFT UNTIL I HAVE TO WORK A MERE 3 HOURS.

How many total hours until the person's workday is completely finished (or how many total hours left in their shift from "now")?

  • Math Breakdown:
    • Time until the next milestone: 1 hour
    • Time after that milestone before starting the final chunk: 4 hours
    • Duration of the final work chunk: 3 hours
    • Total time: $1 + 4 + 3 = 8\text{ hours}$

How to handle no communication

1 Upvotes

Looking for HR or manager's input on this.

I got picked to help with a coworker who took a 2 month leave of absence. I was told I was the back up, as there are 2 of us helping out.

The primary help had a meeting with the supervisor of person who took the leave of absence. Didn't tell me any details of what we're doing, what we're supposed to do, etc. The supervisor didn't reach out to me either.

Primary help isn't doing their job to help out with those files.

I emailed the supervisor, same day the Primary help had the meeting with the supervisor, saying "I'm willing to help, let me know if you need anything". No response.

This goes south, how do I prove they didn't reach out, discuss what needs to be done by me, what files/tasks I need to do. Feels like it could turn into a their word vs my word situation (which I'd like to avoid).

When your manager takes credit for your work 💀

Me listening to my manager proudly explain all the work they’ve been doing… when I know I did most of it. 😭😂Just standing there like: Interesting… please continue. 👀💀

Have you ever seen someone take credit for work you actually did? 😭
