I mean, addressing internal IP space on public ranges isn't terrible, just as long as you never ever have to communicate with the ranges you've addressed, because they will all resolve to the internal network. That and all the security tools in the world will constantly say you're getting DDOSd by Egypt. No reason to start a war over that.

I'm pretty sure he's just fine getting paid to sit at home and do nothing as he is to sit in the car and drive here to do nothing so I don't see the point. They just put in a ticket for him to have access to the ERP system so he can enter his timesheet. My response was "  what the gently caress has he been doing for the last 4 years? not getting paid?""No, his supervisor has just been doing it for him, and didn't know that he didn't have permissions to do it himself."

For a while I heard about a few companies cutting people off if they had accessed their product from a Iran IP. I was worried that the local IPs would show up in some log and we would get banned from Slack or Adobe or whatever. If that ever happens, I'll be sure to post here, because it won't be my problem to fix.

I have to author a joyous email tomorrow to my former dotted line boss. For context, if you hadn't guessed, I dont like her. She was the kind of boss that did no work, apart from demanding I do whatever she needed or whatever her deputy thought I ought to be doing... with no consideration to what my priorities might be at the time (she is an FM boss, my "proper" IT boss is regional) She was also the kind of boss that would habitually gossip - for example, one of the PAs found out about one of my staffs ailments because boss-lady just has no concept of medical in confidence and tells everyone every reason that anyone goes off sick, whilst passive aggressively criticising your dedication to the department etc etc. Anyway, we needed to mobilise a contract so she became the regional boss of FM, so thankfully, I dont see her any more- but, I'm still her go to IT guy. I receive an email from her saying when can I get my laptop upgrade? To which, I considered this request and given the dangers of travel currently I probably ought to work to rule. And the rules are: we are mid way through a windows 10 rollout- weve done all our desktop (80% of users) and we ordered all the laptops just as the world went into lockdown. That meant all company laptop orders were withheld so they could be allocated on a prioritised basis. We got a certain amount per site to enable home workers - so they were not to go to w7 laptop dudes for upgrades as those people can already WFH. C-levels to agree with us who needs to WFH until this whole thing passes so the limited stock can be allocated appropriately. So tomorrow, I am going to say technically, the project is on hold because the risk of getting you regional dudes to travel is too great so no laptop for you... I am sure her response will be along the lines of "erm I'm Important and i know you can sort this out" (because I saw someone on the aforementioned mobilisation post on Facebook that they are getting their upgrade) However that upgrade is not via me so I'm still going to say no stock sorry! Thinking about medical in confidence, this user and facebook... she emailed into our site to snitch on people who are talking on Facebook about other peoples positive covid tests... they are posting the text message screenshots themselves so it's really a minor issue... this is clearly someone who has no work to do. I'm probably being petty. I have stock, I could give her a w10 laptop and use her w7 device as stock to give to someone to work from home. This would also get me ahead in my project as she is going to need one at some point anyway... it will also ensure when the project is finished and we disable all the w7 devices, these temporary WFH people dont try and cling on to laptops...but do I care? Not one bit, this is karma as far as I'm concerned. It's the little things.

Some of the workers will have their supervisor do their time for them because they'll punch in when they come in the gate, but when it's time to leave there's hundreds of people waiting for the horn to blow and they want to leave so most of them don't even bother to punch out. Instead of punishing the people who do this, they just push it back on their team lead to fix it for them because "I'm computer illiterate  "Like, just tap your badge and it works drat.

Due to some testing we are doing on remote work solutions we have been running a lot of reports on usage to define who within the business needs to be move to which solution. We have found TONS of folks who simply aren't working by any analytics measure we can define. We are talking about people who aren't checking their email, using vpn, or otherwise touching any systems in any way. To put things in perspective, we have a "Lead Developer" who hasn't checked his email since 3/9 of this year. The list goes on and on. I am by no means a hard rear end worrying about how much work people do in a given day, but some of this stuff is just bold as gently caress. Worse is the leaders who aren't checking in with their reports. You should know if someone on your team hasn't worked in 45 days.

Just need to find/make the time to learn PowerShell, then build a script to cover all our special little poo poo, then test it on my own time and hardware since I don't have access to a test AD environment at work because I'm a lowly student assistant on the helpdesk. All while still doing the work I get assigned. So there's a few hurdles to clear.
