My boss obviously thought very little of his team, because he would constantly diagram poo poo out on a whiteboard as he talked. Like simple things such as "speaking to your coworker about an issue" or "how to field a helpdesk call". The best one though was when he drew a circle, with an arrow pointing to a triangle, and told us "this is what I asked for" *points to the circle* "and this is what you gave me" *points to triangle*. !!!

Congratulations. I’m considering trying to  but there’s not much in my area. There’s one I think I would have a chance at, but I don’t really want to work in the oil industry. Also apparently their 401(k) match (10%) takes 5 years to vest, which is a long time in general, let alone the energy industry.

Yeah, it’s just really volatile right now. With oil prices going all over the place and wind/solar prices plummeting to try to get ahead of the government incentives ending.

Somebody ran a script in prod that renamed every single host to the same name. The incident page listed affected systems as "all databases". lol Happy Friday!

Has anyone heard of a site called "On the Hub"? We just got a student request for access to it. It seems to be some kind of site with academic discounts. Supposedly our staff have access, but I've never heard of it or heard it mentioned. Looked at it and it's hitting my scam alarms personally, but I can't find anything negative online about it or the company behind it besides the glassdoor reviews complaining about salaries.

On the hub is legit. I got basically everything MS and VMware ever published for free through my school with it.

IBM specifically targeted “grey hairs” for layoffs and terminations. I know that Corporations are evil, bad, etc. but goddamn this is just extremely unethical. Even from a business side, I could see how it makes sense to try and get younger people in the company but if someone’s doing a good job she shouldn’t matter.

Sorry for the double post, but yeah, I've used that as a student. I think they had free copies of most MS software for IT students before we just got switched to their own thing - dreamspark or whatever. It's lovely to navigate but not a scam afaict. If it is, my school got scammed but I wouldn't be shocked by that.

I like how the prevailing IT business practice is basically mass hiring a bunch of cheap college grads and them burning them out with 60+ hour work weeks.

They had everything back up in <30min, but goddamn. Then there was some arguing about why Nagios didn't alert certain application owners that poo poo was broken. Turns out email don't work so good when your mail servers get renamed.

A bit of a step down for some of you folks - I'm a desktop guy - but I just got a ticket for flickering and discoloration on a laptop display. With a screenshot. He even helpfully circled a bit of the screenshot that looks exactly the same as every other part. As you might expect, he's on the Sales team.Tab8715 posted:IBM specifically targeted “grey hairs” for layoffs and terminations. As a tech worker who is now 48, this scares the ever living poo poo out of me. It basically says that no matter what I learn or how current I keep my skills, simply being old is reason to not hire.
