If my argument, which is only to say that everyone has options, is stupid then your argument is that everyone doesn't have options? Come on. Sheep mentality. Hey man, cheer up, stop being so negative. Maybe if you quit your lovely job you wouldn't be so upset.

One of our professionals just paid for a webinar, and got this email:quote:2. Attached is the handout for today’s webinar. To open the handout, you must have APPLICATIONNAME READER downloaded on your computer (you will likely need to contact your IT department to insure you can access APPLICATIONNAME and/or WebEx). The application is some "stop people from copying your IP!" thing, but... we can just print it and scan it if we want to and the application that they sent to my user made trend/officescan freak out.

I just had a job interview that sounded awesome for what is basically Senior CurrentJob, and I was all excited until I found out that the position pays substantially less than I currently make, requires more work hours, and increases my commute from 10 minutes to 90 minutes each way. Glad I figured out what the pay scale was before wasting a day off, I guess.

mllaneza posted:if you haven't already, tell them you're making that now and that you expect a substantial increase for a senior position. But they probably already balked when you laughed at their first offer. Which you should have done. I found the salary in a second posting for the same position (not the one I saw when I applied for it) that I found after the phone interview. I'm going to just send it to them and tell them that I was expecting roughly 50% more for the position, and thanks but no thanks, since I honestly like my job and am paid fine but I'm just starting to stagnate.

You're absolutely doing yourself a huge disservice if you tell them your salary range first. Why would you do that? If they have a range that is not negotiable, they can tell you and you can reject it, but they're not going to do that either because they don't want to give you an advantage in negotiation.e

I'm tired of places that don't say what the salary range for a position is (and finding out later it pays half what I currently make), so I just ask them when doing the interview-planning exchange now.quote:Salary is based on years of relevant experience and certifications. If you give let us know the range you are looking for, then I could verify that it is within our range as well. For gently caress's sake just tell me, broadly, what the job pays.

Someone just changed the certificate on the Exchange server at work, replacing it with a certificate for a different domain (which we own, so it's someone I work with). This has also broken activesync, so no lawyers are going to receive email on their mobile devices until someone fixes this. I took the day off because it's my birthday, so I'm not going to do a drat thing about it.

americanzero4128 posted:Today I'm hating on Java. After pushing version 7 update 51 to our server department, the guys that are monitoring SiteScope all of the sudden can't view any of the alerts, and if they try to log in, it just errs out. Ok, I tell them for the short term to change the security level on the Configure Java to medium until they can check if SiteScope came out with an update for this, since they've never had to adjust that before. The other program it broke was Screenr. Again, adding the website to the Exception site list in Java isn't hard, but that wasn't needed before. Why now? On the 15th, Screenr says their engineers are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. No update since then. It also broke your Cisco ASDM console and most HP switch consoles. Hooray!

I used the words "management policy" to explain something about the way that a proxy (which uses those literal exact words to describe the same thing) is set up to a partner in my firm and they basically tried to get me fired because they thought I was telling them they couldn't watch youtubes at work. I will be so glad when the new hire is up to date and I can abandon IT forever.

We just don't give a poo poo unless someone is being a problem employee, at which point we might pull the logs to see if they're first scanning to get into a door 2 hours after their shift is intended to start every day or something. Same as the web monitoring. I mean, we have logs of everything, but I've never once pulled them or looked at them because solving a managerial problem with a technical solution is dumb.

Given it's Win8 codebase, I'm not surprised the UI is 'modern', I'm just surprised it was installed by whoever set the server up. This is right, you're supposed to give it a core install (which has no GUI) and manage it remotely.

) and a way to run server setup scripts. They don't do any config management. Source control is treated as a roadblock, not an assistance. Code reviews are nonexistent, pull requests are auto-approved because no one has time to read the diff in Stash and understand that the commit would gently caress up performance or fill up a disk when it actually ran. Testing is done on crusty old VMs, almost no one does a fresh VM setup as a test. I'm personally all about that stuff you said. I think Volmarias hit it on the head. I just haven't run into an company that actually does any of those cool things, but they sure call what they do "devops" and that's what people think of when they hear it.
