I have spent all goddamn day tracing down a database connection error in some third party software for a client and it RANDOMLY starts working right before I finally get a dev ticket submitted. Then the T3 I have on the phone just goes oh well works for now; make sure you do that upgrade we sent you that should arrive in the mail tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks; you gently caress.

Sending this link off to a few friends at the Blue Cross and University. But dear god. How does one simply /lose/ a physical drive? How does one not encrypt something like that?

Why was that drive even removed from the rack before it was dead and why wasn't it instantly destroyed if presumed dead? SO MANY QUESTIONS. It almost sounds like somebody just straight up walked into the datacenter, took the drive, and strolled off.

flosofl posted:(this is assuming you're not in dire straights and desperate for employment) This has been me the last couple jobs mostly due to lovely circumstance. I've taken it upon myself to make sure that does not happen again. I know to jump ship now if I feel like the bitch is going down and I can't stop it. To be fair I actually like my current job, I could probably stood to ask for more money when they hired me though.

ChickenWing posted:Hey, are application developers allowed in this thread or is it haraam for me to come in here and start talking about my Spring middletier and how vexing our backend guys are some times. I can't seem to find a "working in software development" megathread and i pine for a sense of community. Yay programmer buddy  I moved into Network and Systems administration when I realized I didn't want to code all day every day for somebody else. Now I just code/script for myself and it's much more fun (though my boss is trying to sweet talk me into being our SharePoint developer because of this). Also once I take the next step over in my career; coding is quite useful in the security world. Also the coding horrors thread is basically this but for coding. I lurk there frequently.

Walked posted:I posted this question as an edit to a post some time ago (so it was likely glossed over). Overnight response, as well as Vulture Culture already hit on my #1 recommendation. I also found Make A Difference: In the lives of those you love, live with, and lead by Dr. Larry Little to be useful in knowing how to deal with certain types of people. I usually don't look for management positions but inevitably I find myself in them sometimes due to technical ability and experience with particular project work.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:I was going to ask how you guys actually interview for positions in-person while you have full-time jobs, but I guess you'd just schedule it in advance and call in sick or something huh? Or schedule it during lunch or just after hours. Would consider scheduling at the very end of the day and clocking out 45mins early or something. Calling in is obviously the easy answer though.

I read all my work mail, but admittedly I get fair less than most of you due to having a dispatcher in the company receiving tickets and sending them out. Personal email is a hell. I don't do anything do it and just check it every couple days unless I'm waiting for something.

However, I am far from an expert on the subject; just tossing in some agreement on an outsider's perspective.
