Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...

It's actually a bit better because you can be doing other stuff rather than wait in a line in a physical DMV.
yeah that's a pretty big oversight tbh. they should make the website play "hold" music and add some "timeout" popups you have to keep clicking
Sounds like the unemployment insurance website here in Florida. I had to use it during covid and it was one of the singularly worst experiences of my life.
That's the goal. Make government not work, then complain it doesn't work, let's either get rid of the whole thing or let some big strong man "fix" everything.
Or privatize it using a friend's company.
You’re giving me flashbacks to the online training my work makes me do every year.
I almost failed the first of 7 courses because I made the mistake of trying to do actual work while listening to the training, and didn’t realize there was a 5 minute timer for inactivity on the video player. And no, there was no additional time provided to complete the training. It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.
In the US, if you are an hourly non-exempt employee, that is overt wage theft in all 50 states. If a task is made mandatory by an employer, they must pay you for the time you spent on it.
I know this doesn't help you now, of course, but it's good to know in case you run into it again and feel like pushing back with a report to the Dept of Labor.
Fuck that, training and any kind of policy testing should absolutely be on company time. I always throw shit like that in a general/admin bucket in my time card.
You make me do it, you pay me to do it.
Stop giving them ideas!
