poo poo that pisses me off: A confusing lack of trust. I was once an IT manager for several offices around the country. Dealing with several 100k of equipment, purchasing, maintaining, storing, etc.. Kind of got burned out so when an opportunity to work a lower tier of support for more pay and basically sit at a desk all day I jumped at it. Now the company is limiting my access, specifically to the IT closet where we keep all the keyboards/mice, monitors, etc. Nothing super expensive, maybe some $800 replacement comps since the server closet is upstairs were we keep the big expensive stuff. Of course, they also gave me the job of managing the access cards and database. So while it's company policy and I was told to my face that I was not allowed access I can literally alter my card access at anytime, or anyone elses. Nice job guys, really thought that through huh? Don't trust me with getting a spare keyboard for an employee but they do trust me with all the card accesses for the entire building. smh

Just had a interview with a potential CTO for my company. It started getting pretty hilarious, and I was stifling a laugh, when every time there was something this guy didn't know he would just say "well I would toss it up to the cloud." Not "we'll use the cloud" or "lets find a cloud solution" it was always "tossing it to the cloud" like he was playing basketball with servers and databases. Still not as bad as the guy with the 6 page resume, with reference links to more pages. You know you have OCD when your resume has a glossary and table of contents.

64bit_Dophins posted:Yeah Phishing emails are getting disturbingly good these days. It's still obvious to me when I get one but to someone that isn't paid to look for that sort of thing I can imagine easily falling for one. Reminds me of a really convincing phishing email sent to our company. It was one of the QA guys (because of course) who figured out it was illegitimate because "Aug 25, 2018 isn't a Monday." Now I check everything.

PremiumSupport posted:I interviewed for a non-IT job when I was in school and needed income. The interview started out normal but that lasted all of two minutes. The interviewer noticed me glancing at the desktop background of her computer, which was a WoW screenshot. The next hour and a half was exclusively discussion of WoW guilds, raids, and boss-fight strategies. During my interview, I got my now current boss to talk about the WarMachine figurines he was painting at home (I don't even play myself). I knew I had the job locked in at that point.

Normal contracted technician is on PTO for surgery. We had an issue with a server managed by the contractor's company. I submitted a support ticket and they let me know they will contact another tech to take a look. Queue an hour later and the normal contractor gets online and starts working on our issue. JFC, the contact company actually rescinded his PTO to have him work on our issue (which wasn't that much of a deal). We've had complaints about this company for a while now, but making your workers go in directly after surgery really gets me as I too an a lowly desk warmer and worker rights are a joke. This isn't a mom and pop shop, it's a national company we are contracting with. But they never document anything unless we tell them to so when a problem pops up only one guy who knows the systems can work on it. They even told me "well the tech could already be working on the issue, we have no way of knowing." Like, you don't know what your techs are working on? "Well, no not unless they document it." They don't document their work? JFC, I'm pushing for us to find another vendor because shits not right.

I think the only time I've seen someone get out of probation is to transfer to another department. Essentially starting a new job just in the same building. All other times, it's the the axe.

I arranged to get her upgraded from her old HP brick laptop and it arrived today so I emailed her to let her know. "How big is the memory" she asked. "Oh it's big, like really big... 8 million kilobytes... that is a lot."

My favorite is the one by my company's lawyer... he is doing his best Ben Stein impression. I think we caught the last guy napping in the video room after about 20 minutes into the presentation.
