I encountered a user a couple days ago that had no idea how to use a trackpad on a laptop, he looked at it as if it were a steaming turd that he was afraid to touch. He is, of course, in a supervisory role.

Shouldn't you hit yourself in the head with a hammer when "gently caress it, I'll just stop here" crosses your mind ?

FTPS is "FTP over SSL". scp is run through sshd anyway, and sftp will be as well. ftps is the "other ball of wax", though 99% of people get these confused.

^ Yup. Ended up saying gently caress it and using FTP. Every time a commit is done, it will dump the config to a directory for that specific device/stack.

Doesn't Windows just support SCP stuff out of the box? I'm pretty sure I SCP'd some stuff of my "lab" Catalyst to my computer through Putty without having to really set anything else up.

PuTTY isn't out of the box, but neither is openssh on some distros so whatever. PuTTY does not do sshd, for that you'd need something like http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, but I'm saying that outside of installing Putty I don't remember having to set anything else up to SCP stuff from either my switch or maybe the really old PC I tried to setup CentOS on. But who knows maybe I did have to setup some kind of server and I just don't remember at all. Unless you're saying the SCP support came through Putty.

Putty is an SCP client, you can't make a connect from another computer to Putty. So if you remember logging onto a device and making an SCP connection to your computer running Putty, you're misremembering. You can use Putty to connect to an SCP server and pull the data over, but you can't make an SCP connect to Putty and push the data.

Nothing kills that warm feeling for your employer like being asked to work over a weekend so that a client can get an environment that it absolutely must have on Tuesday... ... and have it not turned over to said client until Friday. ...and THEN being informed that your overtime was retroactively denied because said client didn't pay for the expedite, it was just PM's poorly managing a project. As wonderful as the last nearly six years have been, I'm beginning to see the writing on the wall and it might be time to YOTJ.

Is your manager (not your PM) reasonable, someone you can talk to about problems? Ask him to schedule a short 1 on 1 with you and tell him how you feel wronged by the situation. They basically just used you like a tissue and then told you that your sacrifice not only will result in no thanks, but they also have no respect for you by not delivering the product by the supposed hard deadline. Ask him what he thinks that does to your motivation? I know what it does to mine: kills it. Be a team player and get kicked in the nuts for it, I don't want to be a team player anymore. Ask him what he thinks he can do to restore the trust that has been broken here. You don't have to be aggressive or threatening about this, just, make it clear that this has severely damaged your relationship. Also, as an employee working for a company, I don't give a flying poo poo gently caress who pays when and how much. My employer asked me to go above and beyond, and I did, with the understanding that they would reciprocate. My time is gone. Now it's time to pony up, or watch my output drop to barely minimal levels. This is not something I do consciously; my motivation simply dies if I know my work and time is neither appreciated nor respected.

Agreed with the above - why is the end client's willingness to pay linked to your overtime? You don't get paid more if sales manage to get more money for certain contracts, so why should you suffer when the opposite happens?

I guess I just doesn't register it anymore, but the situations where something had to be done for yesterday when client would see it, hmm, a month after taught me that deadlines don't exist. Oh, the client requested an import of products after the weekend? No worries, I'll just spend the weekend doing that. Oh, the products aren't the ones that he wanted and that really wasn't a necessity? And he'll deliver new products tommorow? But he doesn't expect, or does he? Just please tell me when it has to be done! This is me 3 months ago - right now I've taken the approach of "this is not my problem". While it's selfish, or maybe not responsible (in my book it's not being a team player), why the gently caress should I waste my life on other people being brainless.

I worked over the weekend to help rewrite a API for a week of regression testing to deliver by yesterday. They pushed the date back a week so we could do more regression testing.

My manager is reasonable, but the fuckedupedness goes beyond his power to be reasonable. I spoke with him about it earlier today, and we're getting paid regardless. (my company has a history of legal issues in regards to overtime, so they wont gently caress around on this.) I just find the whole exercise silly, even if I know it'll get resolved in the end.

nitrogen posted:My manager is reasonable, but the fuckedupedness goes beyond his power to be reasonable. Our boss is adamant that we don't get penalty rates (double time, etc), we get our standard rate. Now this creates another issue where if I hit that 'sweet spot' of overtime hours (after my regular 40 hour week) I will actually enter the new tax bracket, and end up with LESS money than if I wasn't dedicated to the cause etc. This causes people to not really want to work that extra. If we had the correct legal rates we wouldn't be in this situation and would gladly work more hours.  update: I travel somewhat frequently for my current job but through this whole process of applying to new company I have been lucky not to be away. So now OF COURSE it's the week I will be given my medical test appointment and I am due to be away. For two weeks.Also weighing on my head is my grandmother whose cancer treatment isn't going to well. I really want to go see her while getting treatment (4 hours flight)  (I refuse to use flying to grandma as an excuse to stay in town for medical - that's just not cool) Humphreys fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Oct 27, 2013 |

Technically, it *CAN* happen on a single or a few paychecks under the right conditions, and those conditions are based on poor calculations and assumptions on the payroll processor's end. You still end up getting the money back at the end of the year, but the paycheck can be lower. Again, this is because of poo poo processing algorithms.

Humphreys posted:I'll find some of the payslips. In a progressive taxation system, once you go over a "threshold", money earned above that point is taxed at the higher rate. The money below that threshold is taxed at the original rate. It's pretty basic stuff. Having ALL your money taxed at a higher rate just because you earnt more would be ridiculous.

There are issues if you rely on subsidies and benefits, it's possible for you to actually earn less, due to them disappearing at certain thresholds. That said, it's probably not what you're talking about.

Just someone's personal laptop connecting to a share that they have permissions for and then those files getting wiped out by Cryptolocker. Forcing those BYOD laptops to RDP into a virtual desktop which is locked down and not allowing the network they are on to access the file shares would have gone a long way to helping prevent the issues. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
