Something like Bitlocker would give you offline disk encryption with TPM, which is usable just fine on a DC as it's decrypted while running. But the AD database would be kept in memory while running anyways, not encrypted. If it's a low security site, consider an RODC?

I'm getting a taste of my first salaried position. We are having a major software upgrade to our system tonight that has been in the works for weeks. Worked 12 hours then came home. Will be on the phone for another 2 hours doing testing, then working 14 hours for the next two nights doing support. Edit: Turns out, the upgrade started an hour late. And Lotus Notes decided to crash, hospital wide, so no emails or sametime chat to coordinate this.

Why do people assume salary means "get hosed and work a ton of hours for no extra pay?" By all means, stay late when you need to. Go in when you need to. But also leave early when it's slow and you've worked a lot. But a planned issue shouldn't mean an extra, uncomped 20 hours.

I have no problem putting in the work. However, once this project is finished, we won't have anything big on our plate for a while. I plan on getting in a little late, leaving a little early to balance things out. I'm not the type to break my back only to get shat on.

My team has a designated on call week for each person and they get the next Friday off. If I get called during my on call week and it disturbs my sleep schedule enough I'm allowed to come in late the next day to compensate. E: this working to finish is maintenance or downed systems. I can't just bolt if something goes bad at 5. Gotta fix it. jaegerx fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Pfft my boss told me last week he doesn't expect us to 'work' a full 40 hours. He's all "I check Facebook and look at stuff online during work hours, I don't expect you all to work a solid 8 hours a day" I do mostly project based work. As long as the projects get done, he doesn't give a crap what I do or when I do it. Stroll in around 10AM? No problem. Duck out for a couple hours for an appointment, no worries. I'm beyond loving spoiled at this point.

If I put in a bunch of extra hours to meet a deadline or because on-call was a clusterfuck, it's a given that I can take a comp day off for that. My company is pretty cool. Sadly that is not even remotely the norm in  CLAM DOWN posted:How is that legal?! It's explicitly called out in our labor laws that IT work is exempt from overtime pay, in fact!

That's hosed up. There's a few "exempt" groups here, employees who will have very unusual hours and shift work like police, firefighters, forestry workers, taxi drivers, etc. But their regulations tend to be more beneficial and specifically catered to their job, as opposed to worse-off. Anyways that sucks. Sorry

What's even better, even if we don't have the need to work extra time, some managers use that as the sole way to evaluate our performance. An old boss of mine was one; in response to my request for a raise, he informed me that I was "doing the bare minimum." That is to say, I was working 40 hours per week. Of course, he disregarded the fact that my colleagues at the time, some of them 25 year veterans of the industry, had given input to said boss that I did more and better work during that forty hours than most other people they had seen at my level of experience and education. "Bare minimum." It's funny how much less work I got done after that. Guess I hadn't actually been doing the bare minimum after all. Not until that point, anyway.

I honestly feel bad for most of the salaried people here. I'm salaried, but if I do overtime I get paid at an hourly rate. Good thing too, I would not work 32 hour weekends without it. (site installations are awful when they go wrong, by the way. Thanks for asking)
