klosterdev posted:- Office move I've had much worse... A little over 10 years ago, one of our locations was in the midst of a remodel and part of this required moving the front register "island" to a different spot. At this store all the power and Ethernet cables came in into the "island" from conduits in the concrete floor. In the new island location we where going to be dropping the lines down from the ceiling. The move was planned, but it wasn't supposed to happen for at least another month or more. From what I remember, the electricians finished early. This prompted the store manager at the time to take it upon himself to move the register island. But he didn't tell anyone at corporate he was doing this. I got a panicked phone call one day that none of the registers, printers, PIN pads, or phones at the new island location where working. Why where they not working? Because there where no cat5 lines dropped at the new location yet. And they had already tore out the old island and cut the lines off flush with the floor ready for them to be covered over. In a pinch I ended up having to setup a bridge between the "island" switch and the rest of the LAN with a pair of Ubiquiti Nanostations until we got some new Cat5e lines dropped a few days later. It was a gently caress up of massive proportions. And played a large part in said manager being fired a few weeks later.

I brought my Focusrite scarlett 2i2, Sampson large diaphragm condenser mic and boom stand, and an array of headphones to work. I think I might get better results out of an x-y setup. At least then my voice will have the soundstage it deserves.

GreenNight posted:Say the liability word and HR will find out you were 5 minutes late 3 times and can your rear end. Then you get a lawyer, during discovery they find that everyone else has been late that many times at least and still has a job, the judge roasts them over an open flame. Selective enforcement is not a good look if the company is trying to prove they’re not discriminating. I saw a video about a company that fired employees who were organizing a union for offenses that were found to be commonplace and either unpunished or punished much less severely. Also a My Cousin Vinny style “you did 45 minutes of driving and work in 15 minutes?” situation. I could dig it up if anyone is interested. The company lost. E: also BCC your personal email on every email to HR. If they fire you immediately after you bring it up, they’re already going to be on the defense when it comes to proving that was a complete coincidence, honestly. That’s what I did when setting up FMLA last year, even though I knew my boss, as many issues as I had with him, was too honest to be involved with that kind of thing. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Thanatosian posted:This is a joke, right? Like, just something you're posting as hyperbole? I wish. I don't work there anymore, but yeah, they wanted me to get telecom and everything set up in less than 4 days. At least it was built out with CAT-5e in the walls and a network rack, tho it was located above the door and I'm not a tall lady, so that was OSHA.txt as all hell. They made do with a mifi and cell phones until the telecom and ISP showed up. Turns out the guy we hired to work out of that office had been doing the same thing with his own business, so he didn't care.

Teams being incapable of copy-pasting images from a web browser makes it unusable for its main purpose (posting memes). Also it's slow as poo poo Also nobody in the world but me seems to understand threaded conversations At least it's not Sfb though.

I never really bothered how to figure out how to properly share images in Teams because I didn't want to look like a fool. I would always use the snipping tool, copy that grab to the clipboard, then paste it into chat.

User: Hi, do you have a moment to discuss your 3DSMax deployment script? Me: In terms of rolling it out to your machine as organised by the visualisation lead? User: In terms of adding extra pathing elements, plugins, and customising license installs for render farms and configuring them automatically so I don't have to login and do it. Me: You will have to discuss that within your team and have it escalated to IT by your team leader because it's outside the scope of work that has previously been communicated to me. User: Ok because my team lead asked me to organise this because I know more about this. Me: That might be the case but the process is he has to communicate that with IT. Just write down what you require to be done and send it to him - he doesn't need to do anything other than forward it to us, but that's the process he asked us to enforce. ~two weeks later~ A ticket comes in to customise the 3DSMax deployments. ~ten minutes later missed call from User~ User: Hi, can I call you to discuss further changes to the 3DSMax deployments.

One of the things which mildly annoys me about Teams is that the "recent" tab is only like five or six items worth of history, but there's space for a good 15 or so on the tab. It's just some  GUI design that never bothered me until I started talking to that many people + 1 at the current client's location.

We had our monthly call with our Microsoft TAM today, he informed us that all meetings going forward will now be Teams meetings so he's sending a new calendar invite. Teams is happening folks, don't fight it.

I like the part where having ever at any time installed that garbage means it'll automatically reinstall if you want it or not whenever you visit a malicious site. Literally like malware does. And much like malware, requires going out of your way to remove that

Though this is like 10x worse, having a hidden local webserver that can execute arbitrary commands.

The web server was specifically to get around something in Safari, from what I've been reading. More teams garbage: otherwise idle 2017 15" MBP with i7, 16gb and 512gb NVMe, took 25 sec to start Teams.
