Two months ago: Terminate Joe Schmuck -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Two weeks ago: Reactivate Joe Schmuck's account Me: "Was he rehired?" His boss: "No, we need to log into his computer as him because blah blah processes and blah blah operations so we need to log into his computer as him." Me: "We don't want to have processes and operations tied to a departed employee. Let me help you transfer those over." His boss: "We need to log into his computer as him. He left us the password." Me: "Let me figure out how to do this with your account." His boss, cc: my boss: "We need to log into his computer as him. He left us the password. THIS IS AFFECTING REVENUE." My boss: "Do whatever they say to get things going." Me: (I hate my life) "His account is reactivated, here's the new password." His boss: "You lying liar, you did not reactivate his account, the password he gave us Letm3in! didn't work." Me: (Ihml) "As per previous email, I reset the password to something he wouldn't know." His boss, cc: my boss: "Why are you being so difficult? Reset the password to Letm3in! and do it now! We need this to work!" Me: (contemplating breaking strength of 5th-floor window) "Who should I tie the 2FA to? I need to set up the authenticator app on someone's phone." His boss, cc: my boss, cc: my grandboss: "That won't work. Everyone needs to access the account. Now just do it, I'm tired of jumping through these hoops." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This morning. 6 am. *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring* Caller: "We've been hacked! All the email is gone!" Me: "Wha? Huh? All what email?" Caller: "All of Joe Schmuck's email! " Me: (a couple hours later) "Well. It looks like someone logged in on Saturday... from an IP that traces to the city government, meaning probably the library... and deleted all the emails in the account. Gosh, I wonder who would have had the motive - and the password - to do that?" Boss: cc: my boss, my grandboss, several other important people, and HR: "IT is supposed to protect us from that sort of thing!" Me: "IT has protected you, I'm restoring the email back to the Saturday morning snapshot. Now would you please change the password?"

I've identified the problem and it's that your boss isn't performing their task of stopping you catching poo poo all the time

I'd love to be in the after-action of that and basically provide the options for future prevention as either bosses automatically agree that sfwarlock is correct in all cases, or sfwarlock can ignore bosses at any time.

Everyone else in this story is a moron but you might help yourself by saying, explicitly, something like "If you make me do this, he will be able to log in and do xyz. I can just give you the password I set it to and then you won't have this problem." I get that this is obvious if you have a prefrontal cortex but you gotta spell this stuff out sometimes.

If the same dipshit is causing the problem then it may be time to go scorched earth and sit on unemployment while you sue for constructive dismissal after you explained how he was going to gently caress the company and then he did.

I consider myself a good manager, and couldn't fathom actively putting my team members in a job-threatening situation like that because I'm too busy enjoying the taste of boot. I'm sorry you've been put in that position, warlock 🫂

you ate my cat posted:Seriously, I'm not even a very good manager and would do a better job than this guy. Yeah, what the gently caress. I'm not even a manager, I'm just a senior/principal engineer in my field, and I have gone to bat for other engineers when they've been treated like this. Sometimes having a third party go "hey dipshit, this isn't acceptable" works wonders. Of course I live somewhere that has worker protection laws, so that plays into it, but a bully with a VP title is still just a bully, they can be dealt with accordingly.

Maybe now that FW has a new job, I can finally land one. I'm still gainfully employed, but I'm very unhappy. Have been for years. I've put in 438 applications and had 43 interviews over the last two years, no offers. The tech world is rough af right now.

poo poo is wild at the moment. Last year was amazing for pentesters and now I'm seeing the same places hunting unicorns for six months straight. I've had to shake up my job-hunt mid-way through due to a family illness at home, and I'm seeing roles advertised as "hybrid in Dublin" but the office location is in Singapore

A ticket came in...Director posted:Hello, TK69 posted:Hi (director), who needs forwarding turned off? Now at this point I figured (director) was referring to a former employee whose mailbox was forwarding and didn't need to any more. But nope, (director) answered my question with... quote:Potentially (partner). Trying to get them out of the habit and rather starting fresh emails. We had a good chuckle. Made me wonder if it's possible though - if the Forward button could be disabled at the user level, so too could the Reply All...

Well, the toolbars in Outlook on desktop, at least the real version, can be customized, so you might be able to make GPO or something else install a customization that removes (hides) the buttons. It won't disable it, but will make it inconvenient.

I am going to lobby that everyone in my role remove every entitlement from our customer service portfolio except “Customer will engage more” I swear to Christ. My current customer’s favorite phrase must be “yeah, let’s do it (but we’ll refuse to do our part of the work for any of it).” The entire account team is sitting around waiting for a callback while customer spends $millions on enterprise support. Good news is that playing Skyrim as a stealth archer is actually pretty fun.

Dandywalken posted:Got a "kys" reply working helpdesk today. Wasnt easy to not reply "lol" What the gently caress? Are you public facing? This is psychotic behaviour even if you are, but I seriously hope your company takes this poo poo seriously and fires/bans the customer as appropriate. Nobody should have to put up with this behaviour and if your org won’t protect you from this poo poo you should find an organization that respects you.
