Fk days in leiu... I take the monies

lol my GM offered me some weekend work saying I could get time in lieu for it...but my direct manager (below GM) is a stickler for that kind of extra curricular work just being an extension of your professionalism; i.e. you should do it just out of passion for work. I've attended trade shows on weekend etc. and this often comes without so much as a thanks.

Direct manager is somewhat of a bully who often tries to overrule the GM himself.

We have no HR manager or Patrick.

What do VWL?

Reply in email to DM stating that as per GM request you would like to take up the weekend work in exchange for TIL

my next weekend that I'm not working is after christmas.....

no cash, no TIL

All just part of being a professional at times.

I'm only one pay grade off that life again.

Next role will be no TIL no OT :/

All comes down to having clear goals at start of year. If the weekend work enables you to achieve your KPI/goals then its a tough situation as it can be used towards/against you at your performance review.

Weekend work tends to be classed as 'development opportunity' or as evidence in showing the right behaviours towards the business. (which again could be a factor in your performance review)

My boss told me from the beginning that if you want to achieve an "above expectations" ranking you would need to work on breaks if required. Days in lieu offered though.

The many differences & challenges between a job & a 'career'...

Ther eis that, when I was on a much lower salary then yes OT/TIL was always offered.

and I chased those Public holdiay/OT hard core for some extra $$

but yeah once to get to a point it kinda expected to be included.

I might not get TIL but I get to work from home often so when we not busy I'm avalible if needed but I can have a nice cruisy lunch with Katie, or work on the car so long as I answer phone if something crops up.

so it all works itself out over time.

Actually getting the TIL isn't so much an issue for me as taking the TIL and giving my DM the perception that I'm unpassionate / not a team player / unprofessional / not willing to put in the hard yards. A colleague in the same department as me concurred something similar and knocked back the work from the GM - he's scared to ask for sick leave let alone TIL, because our DM has these expectations that unless you're dying you should be working, you should arrive at work before the expected start time and stay long after the expected home time etc. and that your weekends should be spent thinking about work.

We really need an HR - there's not one person who has anything nice to say about my DM and most of these people do not work directly for him like we do. Company wide reputation as a bully.

I think once you reach a certain level of pay or role within your company then the title and remuneration fairly compensates all the extra work you put in and this is expected by both employee and employer - all part of that wonderful word "salary", unless you're a tradie...

But my DM is on about 150k a year and I'm quite far from that - if I was on his salary I'd fill my weekends with work no problems. But I'm not, so I have all the downsides of the professional career and hardly any of the perks (work from home, bonusesand reviews based on exceeding KPIs etc.). Staying until 5:30/6 most nights and that not being recognised if I'm 5 minutes late on one day doesn't sit well with me either.

actually from that I would be interviewing and moving on.

hostile environment plus that nah bugger that.

either that or knock off your DM and get his job (and ask for a pay raise over him)

could be worse. you could be chef again.

though by now you'd probably have a tv show.

my experience with HR is they provide f**k all. its a place to lodge complaints and handball situations, knowing they will never be resolved. and also good for subtle threatening for people who are not acting professionally.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
