CitizenKain posted:I think we paid as much or more for an outside company to confirm wages weren't up to par then it would have cost to just give everyone a raise. Sounds about right. People at my company complained in an independent survey about compensation being less than ideal. The response was to change a few benefits that are only helpful in specific uncommon situations. I think they calculated out what the cheapest thing they could do that seemed useful was.

hihifellow posted:Speaking of management systems, I wish people would stop logging in to my servers, opening a management console, and then never signing their session off. Found one of my Citrix controllers throwing high memory utilization warnings because two people with sessions with weeks of idle time were taking up almost a GB of memory. They do this with the file servers too. We get that last one a good bit. Had one guy a while back who'd been logged into some random server for more than a year, for some reason he only started having lockout issues recently. It's amazing how many people say "No." when you ask them if there are any servers they could be logged into, or if there are any servers that they've ever at any point remoted into. Even when they'd only done it a few weeks or a month ago.

Had a memory stick go bad, ran MS's mem check util all night with no errors, ran memtest86+ all day with no errors. Finally decide to start pulling the sticks, find the bad one. (home computer btw) The manufacturer no longer sells single modules of that size, not going to give them my money for a whole new kit, so I bought a whole new set from another brand. It lasted four years, which isn't too bad. The rest of the components (sans GPU) are all about seven years old.

Our Sick/PTO policy is changing the beginning of next year. We currently have a combined pool, you use the days for either. Next year they're pulling four days from our PTO time and adding 7 sick days in. If you're sick, you have to use all the PTO time before the you can use any of the sick days. I'm rarely sick so the change kind of sucks for me. I think my manager might be okay with me being "sick", but those seven days would probably have to be used intermittently instead of using them for a trip. I'm willing to bet more people will start coming in sick now so maybe I can use the sick days legitimately after all.

The biggest BS is that rule only applies to the salaried employees. The hourly people can use sick time whenever. Additionally the hourly people didn't lose any pto days, they already only got that many. So this is all a much better deal for them. PBS fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Dec 10, 2016 |

flosofl posted:Yeah, we have that too. When they moved to pooling it, they basically just adjusted everyone's accrual rate for PTO so the net result is the same number of days as PTO+sick, but now if you're not sick often you get extra PTO days. Yeah, that's what we're moving from. I liked that much better.
