Aren't children like the number one usage of PTO/Sick Leave for people who have them?

If you're an hourly wage slave and your kid gets sick enjoy not getting paid. In my pre-IT life I was a line cook at a mediocre family restaurant and seeing how everyone (especially the tipped employees) got hosed over when it came to needing time off is great motivation to never want to be in that line of work.

You all can just bite my rear end. My wife and kids with infinitely more vacation time than I will ever have are going to the beach in September and I just noticed the unpaid time I had requested is now listed as 'tentative'. I can't even pay for a day off.

With two of them in preschool/daycare, one or both are basically always sick. My company and role are very accommodating of work from home, so when I'm sick myself I just do that unless it's actually a "too dead to crawl out of bed" situation. Also, we thankfully have sick and vacation in separate pools, cause otherwise I'd definitely end up burning all PTO on the kids.

The last boss that did this made me go to the “everything I do outisde of business hours has a 1 hour of work minimum” mode. Boss calls me 5 mins after I logged out to ask a 1 minute question -> 1 hour overtime. Vendor calls me to confirm something outside of business hours -> 1 hour overtime. Control room calls me without reading instructions and I tell them to do just that -> 1 hour overtime. Great job HR, making everyone take 15-30 minutes of PTO. I took home 10+ extra vacation days per year compensating all the bullshit calls/texts outside of business hours I’d normally not bother about.

The gently caress is “Enterasys”? I saw what looks like a new switch for sale, but all I’m seeing is a fraud case and being bought by Extreme. Are they garbage?

They got acquired by Extreme in 2013. If you’re being sold a “new” Enterasys device in TYOOL 2018 that seems suspect to me. Can you elaborate on what the deal is? e: Like, I don’t think you could buy such a thing. As far as I can tell Extreme bought the tech and killed the brand. If it has the Enterasys badge it may be hella old.

Looks like it’s new old stock for one from 2011, which would explain it. I’m trying to find a gigabit POE+ switch for cheap, which is really difficult without buying some no-name brand that I don’t want powering an Aruba that would be $600 to replace. Prime Day has nothing, basically Rakuten has something, but not sure how much shipping is. It’s for home use, it’s just you guys know more about enterprise brands than the home networking thread. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Jul 17, 2018 |

I only need like four ports max, if that. I’ve got another switch for Ethernet and I’m keeping Ethernet and WiFi on separate ports of the ER-L. I would just do one or two APs, but one is POE. The other option would be a 10+ port smart or managed switch to put them on different VLANs.

Yeah I just bought a bunch of Ubiquiti stuff and it turned out great. Edge Router, 8 port PoE switch, and an AP for under $400 CAD. Basically replaced all the junk I had lying around, from a DD-WRT Netgear to the poo poo tier D-Link AP Extender I got on sale for $10 and still overpaid for.

Just applied for a remote job for a Bay Area company. Same industry, working on the same kind of stuff, I even hit a lot of their nice to haves. Only thing is I have 1.5 years of experience instead of 2 years like they want. Wish me luck. Bay Area money would be fantastic, as would not having a commute.

What kind of money can an ERP admin expect there? I expect a lot, since as far as I can tell they’re well established and not a paid in equity and dreams startup. I don’t expect it, but it would be amazing if I went from a $16.5 per hour contract to BFC Guillotine money within two years.

You're overthinking your switch requirements. If you just need something PoE and a bit of management on it then this is fine https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833310431

What exact responsibilities will you have with this role? If you're just making sure that the ERP system turns on then you can probably expect something around Systems Admin money, but if you're responsible for ERP development/projects then significantly more.

One of the sys admins I hired doesn't like dynamic addressing for non-network devices as much as I do for our internal networks. He sure does like to argue about it though. I told him he has to come up with a list of all the beneficial reasons to statically assign and manually keep track of everything or shut up about it. I expect the list to be complete poo poo. I want my 10 minutes back.

DHCP is just the first step in his master plan to statically configure all the things ensuring he has plenty of mindless work to do forever.

Is there actually a good reason to not just let DNS handle your poo poo most of the time? Like we have some industrial equipment we assign static IPs to because the poo poo will go weird otherwise, but when I started here the guys above me were super serious about every time I spun up a VM it absolutely HAD to have a static IP and would get mad if I forgot/didn't bother to, and now that I'm running the poo poo I can't find a good reason to do so as a general practice.

At my previous job we had all of our servers using static IP addresses since they interfaced with with an old ERP system, however we transitioned to just using DHCP reservations since it was easier to manage. The rest of the end user pool got an IP address from a regular DHCP address pool.

The only things that have static addresses in my environment are network equipment and domain controllers. Literally everything else is done with lease reservations and dns.

My datacenter is entirely statically addressed and doesn't have dynamic DNS because I hate myself. Also OS installation is me asking someone onsite to grab a USB stick and crash cart.* Didn't know what I was doing at the time. Didn't have time to do it right. It was the right decision to do it manually at the time. If I ever build another datacenter I'll do it so, soooo differently. Just throwing everything on kubernetes is the easiest way to fix it now. *15k things have programmatically generated dhcp reservations and are not USB-installed.

It’s vague, but looks like there should end up being some development in the sense of working on implementing changes if not actually doing the coding. But maybe some coding? I don’t know. Definitely doing reporting though. How much is Bay Area system administrator pay? I’m in CO, so decently high but I don’t think anywhere close to Bay Area high. I picked up a factory refurbished unmanaged TP-Link 8 port that’s 802.3at compatible. We’ll see when it gets here. E: anyone here willing to give cover letter or resume advice? 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jul 17, 2018 |

Your cost of living may be higher so the salary would be higher accordingly.
