I hate

Unaligned plies on TP.

Work thinking I would use my personal phone for work related matters.

Was sent an anti-money laundering guff, with a QR code at the end to do a "quiz" which the result from will be uploaded to my HR records as proof of compliance.

I questioned how to access and was told to use my camera on my phone.
I refused.
Reckon I am being labelled as petty, especially as I am working my notice period at the moment.

I had this, including having my personal phone number shared with all my colleagues via a work WhatsApp group withoutmy consent. I have now left that job.

Ironic if your phone isn't being managed by your company MDM and compliance policies

Your inner ply has become your outer ply. Take the one that's on the outside and unwrap it one full turn from the roll so that it's now the inner one. That should sort it.

I think we’re getting into negative shim territory here. The sheets often remain misaligned for half the roll (outer halfway over the inner, like shingles) so I don’t see how unwinding once around would fix things.
Thanks anyway : )

Didn't understand your statement initially but @ffm is correct, try it. Only unwind one ply.

Well, I’ll give it a try next time, this place has never steered me wrong yet.

Take the thinnest possible sheet of bog-roll, unwind it approx a turn until satisfaction. Reminds me of Penrose v Kimberly-Clark.

It's 100% that, someone else is probably breaking it and fixing it for you between your shits. I thought this was pretty basic bog knowledge.

Had similar at work for our annual feedback thing, used to be an anonymous form . Now expect us to scan a QR code. Told them I don't scan random stuff .

Completely normal here in Portugal in every job I've ever had. But if a call or text comes after 6pm I just ignore it.

My favourite story is in a previous job I had, this guy that worked for one of our clients kept calling me at about 8pm, me at home in my pajamas, and it turns out he wanted me to get our Ford Transit and deliver a roll of duct tape to him about 5km away because all the shops nearby were closed. Absolutely surreal.

I really hated this guy, weirdest person I've ever met by far. Looking back I think he might be slightly autistic but at the time I just thought he was purposely trying to be the biggest asshole in the world.

File under "completely ignore this".

What can I say, I was raised by wolves.

Hate this. The test environment for a project I'm working on has mobile 2fa, and as I haven't been given a work phone I'd have to use my personal phone for the verification etc. I've just not signed up for access.

I can't log in to my work laptop without using an authenticator app on my (personal) mobile, no choice in the matter. It's not cool.

One good thing about MDM is it wipes your SD/internal memory and encrypts it, which means nobody is going to do that just to be able to use company apps. So if you want me to have Outlook on my phone, give me a business phone 💁

I’m genuinely amazed any company lets you use personal phones for work, I’d have a word with anyone doing it.
I’ve just made the management check their phones for any employee personal numbers left from the interview/induction process and delete them. They have had to gain permission from the employee to keep any.
Using personal equipment is a HR/Compliance/GDPR minefield.

No it doesn't?

I'm sympathetic for people not wanting work stuff on their personal phones, but just having an authenticator app on your phone doesn't give your company access to anything, unless your work are cunts.

I've had decades of having a work phone but currently don't. I don't mind too much as carrying and charging two phones is a hassle.

Work email is Google so that lives in a work profile and can be easily turned off when I want and also allows work to remotely wipe that and only that.

I wasn't talking about MFA auth, I was talking about MDM

MDM doesn't encrypt your phone, especially for byod type policies.

What we used to have didn't. I think your device had to be already encrpyted and have some form of lock but that was it (there was also the ability to remotely wipe).

Although we don't have email access any more which I find quite nice. There's a bit of MFA but given it uses the MFA app I already have I don't really care. Far preferable to a work mobile which people would expect you to answer.

My boss does like a bit of WhatsApping though. I just didn't respond to messages for hours and told him that the best way to get me when I'm working is Teams as I'm sat in front of it.

Yes, authenticator apps are hardly a problem (IMHO). I already had them for 2FA access for non-work related things.

Obviously if you want a complete separation from work then anything on your personal phone is going to be a problem.

I also do on-call shifts so having Slack/Gmail on my phone is useful (it stops me having to check via my laptop which is far bulkier to carry around), but there's zero expectation of me to look at it when not on-call. No-one at work uses mobiles to talk, nor Whatsapp/Signal/etc for work conversations so there's no "risk" of being called out of hours unless it really truly was urgent and specific to me.

Not sure what I/work would have done if I said I didn't have a mobile, or wasn't prepared to have work stuff on my personal mobile. I guess it would be £100 for a second hand phone and £100/year on a minimal phone contract.

Having had to carry two phones before in my previous job I would have probably gladly paid £100/year not to have to carry the extra one.

I used to sell stuff around BYOD. It was a tough sell especially when the customer asked “what do you use?”
The answer was “fuck no are you mad? Never BYOD”
