Pissing me off: Delta's lovely, horrible loving webpage. Changing the login location from the top-left to the bottom-left randomly is bad enough. Using a lovely 4-digit PIN is bad enough. But then to utterly fail to allow a user to login after watching little fields pop out to enter your last name, is just loving horrible. Username Password (that's more than 4 digits) Why isn't it that simple? For more fun, I tested on Firefox (with and without NoScript), IE11 (with and without compatibility views), and Chrome: Delta's site is hosed up on all of them.

Looks like he has one of those Dell docking stations with the built in monitor stand, the ones you then have to screw your monitor to. With those you end up with your primary monitor at a height that an identical monitor with the stock stand can never reach. It's annoying as gently caress to not have two identical side-by-side monitors line up like that. (I used manuals for VB 5 and 6 from the bosses "don't throw anything away" cupboard)

HalloKitty posted:Isn't that really a problem for US employment law, though? Because there's no enforcement for paid sick day amounts, I believe. I don't know a huge amount about US employment law, but from the scraps I have seen, it's bloody awful. My current job gives me ~10ish sick days a year, my last one... I had to use vacation which was bullshit. As a general rule if I'm sick I try to gently caress off, but this year I ran out of sick days (I had a really long and nasty flu at the beginning of the year) so came to work sick. I didn't do poo poo while I was here those days, because I couldn't breath and my head was spinning. But hey I sure held that chair down so it wouldn't take off.

I currently have... 42.75 sick days. They never expire and I don't get sick much so they just sit there accumulating. I should really be sick more, because if I get a promotion they all just vanish.

dogstile posted:so, you get to take a full third of your year off to be ill? I can't imagine why anyone would go in if they even had a suspicion that they're contagious. I bet that gets abused like hell. Not really, no, but that may be due to the accumulated 2.08 vacation days you earn/save each month. (minimum, set by law) For a full year you'll save ~25 vacation days (PTO). Of course your employer will mark you for termination if you take every Monday off, or generally call in sick "just because", but they can't outright fire you because of your sick days until you get above 120 days. they'll think of some other excuse that won't let you sue them or get the union on their back - like kicking you out because the workload is slowing 0.5%, or because the tractor you usually drive has to be sold, or you aren't a team player, etc. In short it's not as easy to fire people as in the US, but far easier than in France.

My old place would lump in sick days and vacation in one pool, so it worked well. My new place gives me 1 free "wellness" day for every 6 months I don't use more than 10 hours of sick time. This isn't terrible either.

My current place doesn't track sick days (or vacations, actually; they leave that up to the managers). I've only been here a year and a half, though, so I've only had to call in sick for one day so far. Actually, I'm getting over being sick right now, but it was just a pathetic little head cold, so I just worked from home for a couple days to avoid passing it to my coworkers. Either the other teams in my building frown on taking any sick time at all, though, or everyone is trying to be the guy who never ever calls in sick or works from home, because half the building is constantly hacking, sneezing, or coughing up various internal organs for most of the year.

I think if I accumulate something like 400 hours then for every hour of sick time I earn, a quarter of it goes to vacation and 3/4 goes to sick. Then I think at 600 it's half and half, and at 800 3/4 of each sick hour go to vacation and only 1/4 goes to sick.

I probably only ever actually take a couple sick days a year, for when I'm incapable of doing much but curling up in bed and wishing for death. The rest of the time it's "I feel fine, but my nose is dripping, so working from home" At one point I was working from home for like two weeks because the coughing just wouldn't stop. But the end of that period clashed with a team go-karting event. I went anyway but wore a face mask at all times, at my manager's suggestion.

Symantec backup exec 2012 sucks cocks because even if you have the debug client open you don't have a loving clue if anything is going right and the stupid interface can take literally hours to update. I pray to Thor that we never, ever have to restore off our tape backups.

Lol nope. I let Be2012 verify it after it's all put to tape. Our tape backups are in the realm of 200TB each so there isn't time to do test restore unless our CTO springs for a second tape library.

I am currently sick 4 weeks for an operation. Last year I had constantly reoccuring issues that were related to my cheese intake ( yep, sudden cheese allergy...) and was probably sick a total of 30 days. HR spoke to me, I told them I was sick no matter how much he pryed and thats that. We have to visit the doc immediately, but in turn I can just do that. My employer has no right to know more than that I was sick.

I need a highly automated way to track laptops in and out and who are using them that I can present to my boss. One of our divisions wants to know how many laptops IT has given them, how many they have returned to us, temporary loaner laptops that have been used, how many laptops each user has had through their employment, who has been using a laptop through its lifespan etc. IF I CAN'T PRESENT A GOOD SOLUTION, HE WILL MAKE ME REGISTER ALL OF THIS IN EXCEL!! Edit: I have PDQ Inventory and Deploy free versions, I tried to push for a Lansweeper license, but no go, so I can enjoy three weeks of knowing what's actually going on. evobatman fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Jan 10, 2014 |

I use Filemaker for my inventory. I have a table for employees that includes position and location, and entries tagged with their name appear in that table. So I can look at a piece of hardware (Laptop, cellphone, etc.) and see in the notes who used it, or look at an employee and see what's assigned to them. Makes it easier to generate reports based on user, location, hardware type, account number and so on.

just catching up on this thread, so only just read the workwear stuff ... At a previous company everyone had to dress 'smart' i.e. no jeans or trainers etc, but the IT dept could wear whatever, which was nice  Occasionally there would be dress down days, but as we already dressed down, we used to dress up instead - full on suit time. It used to scare people shitless when we'd walk around the office to fix stuff, we'd go in pairs and walk up to a desk and it would take a second for them to recognise us, with usual replies of 'loving hell Phil, I thought I was about to be escorted out the building or something' good times

In  the first sick day you don't get paid for. The following days you get 80% pay (minimum, collective bargaining agreement can set this higher) from your employer, day 2-14. Though after day 8 the employer doesn't have to pay though if the employee can't produce a statement from a doctor that they can't work. After 15 days the state pays your sick pay.At work, our dress code is agreed to be "no tank tops". Previous mandated employees to wear work-provided ESD sandals if they entered the lab, I miss those.

I'm tired of places that don't say what the salary range for a position is (and finding out later it pays half what I currently make), so I just ask them when doing the interview-planning exchange now.quote:Salary is based on years of relevant experience and certifications. If you give let us know the range you are looking for, then I could verify that it is within our range as well. For gently caress's sake just tell me, broadly, what the job pays.

I just had a recruiter let me know about a position but after asking him a few questions I was able to figure out that it was not something I wanted so i told him I was not interested. I guess it helps that I like my current place except for the pay. But I can be picky on where I go from here because I don't have to leave where I am currently.

Yeah holy gently caress the endless back and forth of "no you go first" is ridiculous. If you want to waste your time interviewing people who will just say no then don't bother putting the salary in the job listing, but once you've identified someone as suitable just loving tell them.
