Well, you see, Agile. Get me a kanban board and I can create a backlog of all the things you need to understand about owning a thing that is neither a product nor service nor even a well defined concept. You gotta Gemba walk before you can Gemba run son

Two miles is walking distance, maybe a bike if you don’t have the time. This is where you school me on the pedestrian and cyclist friendly nature of that journey and laugh at my naivety.

Thanks Ants posted:If you're going to be sending emails that turn themselves into a link and ask people to enter a password then that needs to come with a really clear UI, and whoever onboards people who are going to receive encrypted messages needs to explain the process to their recipients. They sent me a screenshot today, showing the password reset screen and there was a flash message of 'Invalid User' over the email address, so it go to thinking they aren't using the right one to sign in. I tried to get them to forward me the actual email they are receiving, telling them they have an encrypted message. You think they would send it? I go through our outgoing mail logs, and sure enough they aren't going to bobsmith@company.com, they are going to something like billingdepartment@somecompany.com So sure enough, I tell them to sign in using that email address, and they get in just fine. They email their rep on our side of the pond and say everything is great. Icing on the cake (from said email): Yes, we were able to open and have uploaded all the encrypted efaxes received till now. It was an browser issue, tech team has resolved it. Now was able to reset the password.

One of the least appreciated skills of customer service is not blaming the customer As far as I can tell I am the only person in my current (customer service oriented) sysadmin department, and its both sad and hilarious how bad they are at communicating with customers without causing an international incident(our business model targets governments and gaos). Otoh its hard for me to get used to being honest with the customer

If you hosed up, cop to it right away and it's a learning experience. Every junior admin I've trained I will always tell them they will invariably gently caress something up. It's okay, it's part of learning. Just be honest and we'll fix it. If I have to dumpster dive to prove an RCA, and this goes double if I can prove you actively tried to cover it up, I will crucify you for it.

We just got told by an Azure capacity manager person that our VM usage is unique because we have monthly surges of Batch and VM cores. We have around 1000 VMs in question, I think 16,000 cores total. They get powered on monthly for 36-48 hours, quarterly for 60-72 hours, then stopped and deallocated. Is this really abnormal or are we getting the runaround? I thought the whole purpose was that you could surge capacity even if it wasn't to reserved instances.

The pattern isn’t but the volume might be? I know I did some workloads like that at my last job, but at a couple of orders of magnitude smaller scale.

Yeah, we do some monthly batches, but not at 16k cores. Wasn't AWS created to scale for black friday? They talk about turbotax or whoever scaling up from Jan 1 and grow until April 15 and immediately drop.

I don't work with anything at scale, but I have heard of Azure having capacity issues that make me think they wouldn't be able to just turn on that many cores in a blink. I could see them wanting you to spread them out or start reserving them or some other such thing.

While I generally agree with you both in principle and practice, when one particular employee continually has problems with a process (because they keep skipping steps and/or trying to go from memory rather than documentation) for multiple processes, and no other workers have trouble with these processes, sometimes it is the individual.

Phoenix Project also had a lot of influence in that regard.

A ton of our processes are garbage and everyone fucks up, and then the one dude who made the process yells at everyone for loving up the process and it's SO SIMPLE* and it HAS TO BE THIS WAY** because REASONS***. So like I said, I agree with you in principle. It was just frustrating watching the one person continually gently caress up everything and complain that the processes were the problem when for those particular things, he was the only one loving up, and they were as straightforward as they could be. * - it's not ** - it doesn't *** - the reasons are bad

A client's new VOIP phones aren't working. In fact, their Internet service is down entirely. Well that explains why the VOIP phones are down. So why's the Internet down? Oh. Oh no. Somehow when their phone numbers were ported over from the local carrier to the SIP provider, no one at any step of the process noticed that one of those numbers was the one their DSL service was being provided on.

That's how passwords get stolen!" while simultaneously rolling out products that use SSO, but not seamlessly. Again, not always an easy problem to solve, but you're telling users not to do something while also expecting them to do that thing as a normal part of their work flow. don't log into sites with your company credentials!
