Inspector_666 posted:I know practically nothing about the nuts and bolts of unions, but I don't see how an IT union could work given the vast differences between roles. I don't see how you cover field techs and sysadmins and engineers all together at all. How it would work is unless you are necessary hands/eyes, your job lands in Chennai or Bangalore. The company can hire three people for your role there and still save money. Then the work gets done via VPN and your choice of connection protocols.

Chalets the Baka posted:I would literally kill for an IT union. I agree with this poster, as I just today now work until 20:30 five days a week and 10% of my weekends. I get to start later, unless someone calls an 08:00 meeting, but really, how often does that happen? (answer: all the loving time.) An IT union still wouldn't survive for a lot of reasons.

I mistakenly shared a detailed log I was building of everything I'd touched in a day, and now my supervisor thinks it's a great idea for everyone in the team to send him one like it daily. I think he's lost control of his group and is grasping at ideas. No way I'm doing a minute-by-minute journal of every command I enter.

Maigius posted:I don't think the remote consultant I'm working with understands time zones. He scheduled a phone meeting with a third party, and when I asked if the meeting he could confirm that the meeting time given was for CST (written out fully in the email), he replied, "Yes eastern time". Really wish I knew for sure what time the meeting is set for. I was ready to blame this on E, C, and P all having similar sound on bad phones, until it got to email. Fully behind timezones sucking for coordination. I just cannot wait for another 8 months of users confused by daylight or standard.

Sickening posted:Your issues aren't dhcp or dns then. Without knowing your setup I would assume a vlan isn't being trunked or vlans in general are hosed. This sounds like something that happened in an environment I once worked with where the VMs were built on a different subnet with DHCP and then assigned to boot to their intended subnet next time, so it looked like networking was working initially except the farm didn't have the destination vlan piped to it.

Jerk McJerkface posted:Seriously. My kid had some fillings and due to a clerical error I got a bill for about $600. When I investigated, I found that the dentist actually charges like $99999999 for everything and the insurance company just says "nope we pay $100" so the dentist takes it. If you don't have insurance you end up having to pay $9999999 for no reason at all. It's madness. There's a Time Magazine article called "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills are Killing Us." It describes exactly this scenario. The role setting prices for a health system being called a chargemaster and how arbitrary it really is.

Khisanth Magus posted:It's a test. I wish I believed in testing like this. In my experience it's just people ignoring or being lazy about policy for sake of ease of tasks. I got paged into a conference call with a bunch of people, told it was about a training issue, and then asked to provide root passwords on production, customer-facing servers for some kind of product demo. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out a "no" to them before explaining how against policy it was to request access that way and how many red flags they were throwing.

Sirotan posted:Feeling kinda lovely for getting into a bit of a heated discussion with my boss over our role in reporting on employee internet browsing histories today. We got a request from a manager that her two employees were apartment hunting and visiting their bank's websites on work time and could we send her their browsing histories. Ticket closed, take this up with HR. 10min later the HR lady walks in and parrots the request. I verbally remind her of our policy that we don't provide this information unless there is a serious documented incident that warrants it. So she goes back to her office and submits another ticket with all the exact same information. Why is your web traffic not proxied or logged elsewhere than the desktop controlled by the user? Edit: also this: milk milk lemonade posted:I wouldn't even question it. You don't own that information, you're just supporting the business that needs it. Whether or not it's fair isn't for you to decide.

OTP on an app on their phones are no, tokens with a OTP are no, text messages with a code, no, phone call with a code, no. To be able to say "two factor" without making any changes at all?
