In the office for my last day today. General vibe is cold as ice towards me from upper management.
It’s a sign that I probably wasn’t wrong about this place being toxic. |

The party will start as soon as he walks out the door!
Not sure how people think their bosses should act when they are there the last day after QUITING! Should they all of a sudden be their best buddy? Should they suck up and kiss their ass because they will miss them so much? Should they walk around in cold silence because it is as awkward for them as the person leaving?

It isn't just any other day though. It is your last. They probably just don't know what to say. It is always awkward in the last day or so at an employer. Has happened about 80% of the time when I left a place. Even with people that were good work friends.

Random thought: what with all the supply chain disruptions due to the effects of the coronavirus on China in particular, does this validate the concept of diversification?
I mean, yes there's economies of scale to be had, and labour costs in China are cheaper than most (though not the cheapest), but putting all your eggs in one basket (particularly one as opaque and authoritarian as this one) seems like it was always a risk. I'm sure profits might be a bit lower if you also had a supply chain based out of another low-cost country, but wouldn't the risk-mitigation for an event like this be worthwhile? |

So far may plants are not effected by direct parts shortages but indirect materials such as gloves, safety glasses, drill inserts and a dozen other things made in China are starting to get hard to come by. These are products that are essential to operate but really only made in areas that are susceptible to this sort of incident.

My experience is they don't care much until you start winning, then they are all over your car.
Once a guy protested me because I had rims an inch too wide. I proved they came with the car, but they said they were not a factory option and the dealer probably put the wider rims on it. So I spend a bundle finding the factory narrower rims. Next race the guy that protested me shows up with wider rims. I shook my head and said whatever dude. I still beat him. |
