I assume scorched, because a job like that has to bump mains power at some point to really be completed

Do they actually check that the panels are patched correctly?

No but the person doing such a rough job with the patch panels isn't suddenly going to be competent when it comes to running cable through plenum spaces, maintaining fire breaks etc.

He just kinda shrugged and said "I'm sure it's alright." I asked if the cabling had been certified and he assured me it had been. I asked the wiring guy and he said he'd need to Google how to certify cabling. Tomorrow is gonna be a poo poo SHOW lol

Years and years ago, one of our divisions is getting some recabling done. Most of it was adding new drops, and also extending fiber between buildings. One of my coworkers was on site to do voice stuff. He said he was in the network room watching one of the contractors finish punching down a panel. The guy would punch every cable down, pull out a tester, remove some wires, swap them around, and re-test. Turns out, that guy was color blind. Thankfully he was just finishing up a few drops, someone else did the majority of it. Then when they go to plug the switches in, the fiber isn't working. Reseating the sfp doesn't help, or swapping the cord. Coworker opens the fiber bulkhead, sees that all those are in the right colors. Goes to the other building, and none of them line up to the other side. He gets the guy who was doing that, and he seems surprised that it matters.

My dad tells the story of not being accepted onto the British Aerospace apprentice scheme because one of the tests was joining up a wiring loom and colour blindness meant an instant fail.

lol the inspection passed but he found out he was supposed to schedule like two other inspections and a certification of those inspections and he hasn't so he doesn't know when he can open. Oops. In other news, I found out this morning that I was supposed to be making marketing material for a VoIP proposal this afternoon and uh... why? How am I suddenly responsible for making a pdf and script for a proposal meeting for a VoIP sale? Why not our marketing guy? Or our vCIO? Why me? I have all the charisma and artistry of a boot. My job is to handle the migration and rollout. Not to sell the loving product. I handed the task back to my supervisor with a firm "no thank you"

I'm guessing this inspection is about "is this installation a fire hazard" and not "does this installation work."

My insurance ends next week after I got laid off and my doctor being a bro increasing my anti anxiety dosage, and gave me 90 days with 3 refills saying to get them all now just in case. He also gave me his personal email and said to email him if I have any medical questions if I'm not insured.

When it happens, I just hope I snap for real this time. I had a, um, bad spell in my 20s, and it mostly just manifested itself in a couple months of bad behavior toward people who had been my friends.

its amazing, but I bet my anxiety would clear up if they would pay me a decent salary and I wasn't always stressed over that. not bringing on trans hate groups as clients would be a plus too

Pretty sure my anxiety is why I was laid off. I was told that upper management thought it was unprofessional previously. It gave them a reason to get rid of folks.

I got laid off the day I returned from my short term disability, which I took because of a massive mental breakdown. So now I've got a couple months of severance pay and whatever unemployment pays out, while I try and find a new job.

All the recruiters I've talked to since I got laid off has said the market has drastically changed in 3 weeks. The market is now flooded with IT people looking for work. Frustrating.

There are still more tech jobs (as a whole) than there are applicants, but the difference has slimmed down, massively.
