    Exactly. This isn't a big site, very few people (like, 3 in the entire plant some days).

    Only reason I even knew was I was on OT coverage on the other shift so I saw him get the email.

    Since I don't really care and he literally got the email 1 hour before we were due to end the day, I wouldn't give him much grief, but I did suggest checking the rules out because I knew he may be working OT with an older coworker the next day and that's a dick move if he got them sick (he is NOT covid positive, but his girlfriend is, how they can play tonsil hockey and only one has covid I have no idea, but whatever).

    Goes to show his character I guess.

    It also goes to show the character of people that stand by and let things happen too, if they feel strongly enough about it but won't act on it.

    Generally speaking, people don't want to rock the boat.

    I think that's called "Social Loafing" in Psych and it is so incredibly dominant, you could call it epidemic.
    Be that guy and get ready to have others follow you as a Leader, but it's incredibly difficult to seize the opportunity even though it technically isn't difficult.

    Did I strike a soft spot there?

    Obviously you don't care enough to actually do anything about it.

    I was more so pointing out another view, not particularly singling you out. If you feel attacked, maybe it's important enough that you'd like to say something but won't.

    That sounds more reasonable.

    I've seen it so often I have to wonder if it's some sort of trending thing on social media.

    When you suggest to someone at work that something should be done, and ask if they are interested ( it’s of no value to me personally ) and that it’s not a big deal while I’m in the weeds. They insist no they don’t need it.

    Then they come back to you a month later after you have moved on a put a bow on everything, asking you to do exactly what you suggested earlier. Except now I need to drop everything else I was doing to do it.

    I’m tempted to do it and send it over at 8AM on Saturday.

    When you log onto beyond and get excited because you have a positive rep (is there any other kind?), and instead it's just a lowly mention by @rage2 ... Which you won't even see because you have him set to ignore.

    You can’t ignore admins, but you can continue to ignore you’re wrong in the F1 thread.

    @Buster just so you can see this and pretend you didn’t.

    When you are having a conversation about performance at work, and nobody around the table knows what the job description is for the individual in question. Or their own.

    When a department that has never once hit a deadline in their existence say that we can solution something in house vs an already existing product that does everything perfectly for a very reasonable cost that can be implemented tomorrow
