nexus6 posted:Does anyone know what Zscaler is and if it's gonna report that I spend time on dead gay comedy forums during work hours? We resell this at my company, it’s a cloud based proxy that can be used for content filtering, blocking dodgy links or IPs, and while they’re probably not using it to spy on you, the option is there for them to get reports on what you do on the internet. It can be used to provide an always-on VPN, but most of our clients just use the SSL VPN provided with their Sophos firewalls and just use Zscaler for security and monitoring. Unless they’ve blocked this particular dead gay comedy forum you should be fine, the way the admin dashboard is laid out by default makes it more useful for identifying bandwidth hogs.

Barudak posted:Many companies, especially those in asia, use bonus structures as the standard method of payment. I know this is from a few pages back but I used to work for the Australian arm of a Malaysian conglomerate, and they used to give very generous bonuses because it was easier to justify bonuses to the parent corporation than salary increases. Of course, the moment the company hit “hard times” ie. it was still very profitable but not making the absurd amounts of money the management was used to seeing, the bonuses disappeared. Two thirds of the staff left the following month.

These brewery stories make it real clear why Germany has the Reinheitsgebot.

JUST MAKING CHILI posted:Like, poo poo - if I had a phone number to call I could have gotten that answer instead of taking five business days of back and forth for an (incorrect) answer. I usually hate making phone calls but but if a five minute call can head off a never ending parade of “as per my last email” yeah I’m picking up the phone.

I’ve learned a lot about the brewing industry just from lurking this thread. I didn’t know Japan had much of a craft brewing scene, all I’m familiar with are macro brews like Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo, etc.

Escape From Noise posted:One of the CEOs is now apparently making GBS threads out ideas for beers now. His big idea? A margherita pizza beer with tomato, basil, and wheat. Yeah. Cool. Non brewer owner ideas are always the worst. How on gods flat earth does he think those flavours will even work in a beer? Maybe sweet basil in a hoppy ale, but even that seems like it’s pushing it.

At my last job we had a warehouse guy who refused to use the ERP system and hacked together his own godawful inventory management system with Excel, VBA and Dropbox, all because he didn’t like the ERP system’s mobile app. It wouldn’t have bothered me so much if he hadn’t gotten pissy with me because I refused to support it. I try to put a stop to shadow IT wherever I see it but if you insist on rolling your own tools, support becomes your problem. Why yes he’s still working for them why do you ask Bargearse fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Nov 16, 2022 |

Chewbecca posted:Question for everyone: What is the best job you ever had, and what made it the best? Was it a good job objectively or just tolerable in ways you could stand? This is from like ten pages back but here goes anyway. Current job, IT help desk for a huge global law firm. Management is reasonable and easy to work with. It’s a 100% office-based role, no remote work but it’s a REALLY nice office and easy to get to via public transport. They expect you to get onto things right away but the actual workload is fairly light. There’s even a staff cafe with full time baristas. Also they almost always promote internally where possible. It’s the kind of place where people can comfortably spend their entire careers. The only real drawback is that there’s mandatory on-call and overtime to support our global operations but you get paid $$$ BIG CASH MONEY $$$ for it.

kashbrok posted:I just found out the most asinine poo poo I've ever heard. The family of companies is being destroyed on sites like Glassdoor because it's devolved into an overall bad and sad place to work after some changes to senior management. Instead of doing anything to address the issues, which are clearly stated in writing, they are suing to obtain user records so the complainers can be found and dealt with. When a company hits the “punish the malcontents” phase of the downward spiral, it’s not long for this world.

The exit interview at my last job felt kind of like they were a lovely partner trying to convince me not to leave a toxic relationship, only without the empty promises to change. In my experience, exit interviews are just an opportunity for your boss to get a in one last parting shot before you go.

One of the other guys at my last job told me that at his last job, someone complained in the exit interview that management had enough money for pointless luxuries like coffee machines and a pool table for the break room but kept saying they couldn't afford to give raises. Apparently management's response was to get rid of all the break room amenities. I have no idea what they thought that would accomplish besides pissing everyone off even more.

Deki posted:Break room amenities are a hell of a lot cheaper than substantive raises. True enough, I didn’t get any other stories out of him but apparently it was the kind of petty passive-aggressive poo poo management did all the time. When a company enters the “punish the malcontents” phase of the downward spiral, they don’t usually have long to go.
