We have a building that went for a bunch of LEEDs certifications, so every office has the top outlets controlled by a light switch. First day of people in, people were constantly shutting off their laptops/monitors. Pretty sure we lost a printer to that.

apparently someone was looking to get big 10 network on their Roku but they couldn't find it because, apparently, it is ONLY searchable under "B1G+" matching the uhhh cute logo someone came up with where the 1G also kind of makes the 10? roku unfuck your search big 10 pull your head out of your rear end (challenge level impossible)

The worst app experience I had was trying to use Vimeo on a Fire TV, it didn't seem to support search so I have no idea how you were meant to use it.

What kind of role in IT security is responsible for this kind of nonsense happening to email subject lines? RE: [EXTERNAL]RE: [EXTERNAL]RE: [EXTERNAL]RE: [EXTERNAL]RE: RE: [EXTERNAL]RE: [EXTERNAL]<emailSubject>

Unless you disable the foreign domain tagging, you will get that identifier in the object and, if you use third party clients, you will get that mess (outlook will remove it and put a classification on the mail item instead).

Had a ticket to set up a desk yesterday for someone who was supposed to start at 7 this AM. We'd been trying to recruit this guy for awhile, and the desk requirements were very specific and high-end. Curved 43" monitor flanked by two 32"s. Ergonomic wireless keyboard. Trackball, also wireless. While we were there, Facilities was assembling one of those $1000 chairs. It was a thing of beauty. Cable routed to within an inch of its life. Custom little wooden hut for the laptop. As you may see coming, this morning I walked by and : The monitors have been replaced by a 27" and a 24", the latter with a visible two-inch-long scratch on the screen, and only one power cable and no data cable. The keyboard has been replaced by a normal wireless keyboard with dead batteries, no dongle, and enough chip crumbs to feed a family of roaches. The trackball has been replaced by a wired mouse that was not even hooked up to anything, the cable just dropped down behind the desk, and with shiny-button syndrome. All the cable routing, of course, has been torn apart. And -- most insulting of all -- the wooden laptop house is gone. Locusts. I work with a bunch of loving locusts.

Yeah, I'd personally be running that up some escalation chains, especially if it was all special request hardware to close a difficult recruitment. That's the sort of thing that can have some sticky reputational damage.

Every single person that took something off that desk needs at the very least to be yelled at and made to give it back. gently caress's sake.

If it were in a public sector office in europe, whoever acquired the kit that was purchased for a specific grant/project might be on the hook for corruption/embezzlement. Not jail time but nasty fines and HR fun talks.

Update: the big monitor and the trackball have not been found. The side monitors were "reallocated" by management who thought it unfair the new guy got fancy gear while they didn't, and basically were powertripping, and the keyboard was found in the urinal in the nearest men's room. My management is taking a very haha-boys-will-be-boys attitude, which possibly pisses me off more.

At my old job, after an angry customer had shown up in the lobby (this wasn't a business where customers would ever show up in person) they decided to install a panic button at the front desk, which would make a light flash in the I.T. area. They never said what they expected us to do if the light started flashing.

What in the name of god lmao Do you guys employ high school boys? This is so beyond the pale I don't even know where to begin Does management just... not care at all about theft?

Update to the update. I misheard, the keyboard was found ON the urinal, not IN it. A brave volunteer, using two layers of gloves, reports it is still functioning. Security camera footage is being pulled and HR is involved. People are going to get a come-to-Jesus meeting or two... EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention. The new hire's travel plans got snarled and he'll be here on the 29th. Fortunately for all concerned. sfwarlock fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Feb 27, 2024 |
