Nuclearmonkee posted:Seems like a great plan. Go WFH so there's less immediate supervision and cut coffee to ensure remaining office employees are as resentful and non-productive as possible. We still have to have one person on-site per shift (but we're limited to only one person) so there's still someone here who could be drinking the loving coffee, just not a manager so "into the trash it goes" (as the kids say these days). It was a loving k-cup machine too so it's not like there was waste (of coffee, I mean, k-cups is still real real bad).

I just spent 3 days trying to figure out why an external load balancer wouldn't pass traffic to the nodes on a GKE cluster because everyone kept assuring me the network tag on the node doesn't meant a firewall will block it. Guess what? Firewall rules blocked it. Also GCP support was entirely useless I need a drink Sepist fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Aug 7, 2020 |

I can't imagine the clusterfuck that would occur if someone tried to get a coffee machine put in somewhere, much less taxpayer-funded coffee. Now I'm trying to figure out how we'd do the bidding for the coffee filter contract and ... just no.

They had a wonderful WMF machine that would grind on demand, Illy beans, milk foamer, the works. Of course they would shut that off at the end of the normal working hours and run the cleaning cycle and then start it up at 8am for 9-5ers, leaving us with lovely instant coffee machines for the night shift.

I got written up once for using "non standard" pods in the coffee machine at my old job. Turns out they take the recycling thing really seriously and the pods I was bringing in "didn't conform" to their standards and that was a good reason for me to get an actual honest to god write-up from HR.

I went into the building yesterday for the first time since March to pick up some personal effects. It was weird. Like a "this place is designed for people and yet there are no people" weird. Lights were on, and two service folks were cleaning a bathroom, but there was no one home. edit: coffee area was fully stocked, though Agrikk fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Aug 7, 2020 |

After they found out they were spending $30-50 on k-cups each month, they made us buy them at 50 cents each.

The Fool posted:oh man, ansible + terraform is like having a super power I'm a few pages behind because I have a coding exercise as homework for an interview that asked for an ansible+[vagrant or terraform] implementation to POC some open source thing that has an Ansible module. I know none of those. It's a testament to how loving simple Terraform is that even though I freaked the gently caress out, I could stand up an EC2/VPC based AWS environment in only a few hours, and most of that was learning the syntax. I'm still freaked out at Ansible and the POC tech, though 😕 I have until Monday. I'm a windows/powershell guy for fucks sake.

Nuclearmonkee posted:When they start cutting stuff like that you should be distributing resumes in earnest. I worked there for nearly 3 years as a contractor, my boss really wanted to just get me converted to an actual salary employee but bureaucracy. He said almost everyone through that department gets converted within 6 months. I didn't get a pay raise either and the company kept reducing people and eventually I got let go because they didn't want to renew my contract. So I spent almost every month wondering if I would even have a job after watching over 5k people get canned in that time. Now I'm with a company who has been doubling their revenue each of the last 4 years, bought a leading competitor and has been making great strides to make people the focus. Feels good to have a near limitless budget at your disposal and coworkers who work with hope rather than justification.

I work for an Italian company. In the Milan HQ they have several Nespresso Machines around the office, but they didn't provide the pods. People used to keep a bunch in their desk for their personal use. It was considered a sign of great respect to share your pods with coworkers. They were traded like cigarettes it was nuts. They moved offices and in the new office announced they were going to provide the pods, and the staff went nuts with applause.

Having free pods is a rarity, most Italian firms will have coffee vending machines at best and a handful of machines in the offices brought and left by employees to avoid wasting a shitload of cash on the vending machines/nearby bars.

Speaking of Outlook notifications, the only ones I get are when an email comes in, but the notification always references an entirely different email for some reason. Basically at this point Windows has trained me to disable/ignore notifications which is not super helpful.

I think we only have 12, but I'm also in legal. Two of those are iManage components, though, so they count double. We've had pretty good luck forcing the addins to be enabled via the resiliency registry settings in Outlook 2019, though. Better than in 2010 where they would disable themselves for any reason, regardless of what you set.
