Wow I can’t believe a CIO is a whiny little baby. Also LMAO at your CIO directly emailing an individual contributor to complain that he actually has to do some work. Lol gently caress that guy

Just absolutely useless people that get paid a ton of money to not know anything at all I guess if your company is a startup or its gonna acquire/merge with another then I guess their experience and industry connections can potentially have value, but outside of that then they mostly do jack and poo poo

this guy LOVES getting on calls and asking specific technical questions and commanding various things too, because He Started As A DBA. it's always about "At my previous company this worked, why doesn't it work here? Are you guys not using the technology properly?" after saddling us with systems specially built for companies with 1000x as much data per table as we have in our entire system combined

Or, the CIO could lean back in their chair, look up at the ceiling, then look out their window to the skyline, chuckle, mutter under their breath, "This kid's got moxy!", roll up their sleeves, and pour out a finger of scotch, and search Bing for "sick burns to send to insubordinates" and "that goaty picture."

Sales is considered like, a thousand times more important than IT to our company (which, hey, it's a manufacturing company). the business partner I told has nearly as much power as the CIO at this point, he's like Sales' wunderkind. and the guy he told is the C suite equivalent of Sales. and the issue i was describing would have made Sales data worse for no reason (the real reason being CIO optics). so i'm not that worried here - if he tried to fire me over this it would almost certainly end his career here

Just say, “it worked because you were a user, the content of the page did nothing but fill the page, and it failed to work in a real world environment because it initiated fraudulent contradictions with the owner of the page. Access does not equal ownership or authorship.” It’s the equivalent of throwing a bag of tools at the horizon and expecting a house to be built.

Lol I've been on "are you not using it properly" calls before. The gently caress you want for an answer? "No we're not"? If you get that, are you gonna fly your happy rear end over here and deign to show us exactly HOW we should, Captain Technology who forgets his password every other week?

I decided to make deviled eggs in addition to the pot roast for no particular reason. I can't stop cooking since I've started learning it's kind of ridiculous.

Others may disagree, perhaps vehemently, but I firmly believe poached is the best way to have an egg

So usually it's either a couple of pictures of species, or they'll have some leaves/flowers laid out to ID. Practical stuff has been things like replacing a chainsaw chain, roleplaying an engagement event or, my personal favourite, attaching a tractor trailer and PTO Not stuff you can do over zoom, unfortunately  There'll be a relatively normal interview along side these assessments too
