Yeah sorry I was confused on that. At the federal level under FLSA, your rate of pay is part of the equation for whether or not you are exempt as a "computer professional". But it's not sufficient by itself. You have to also meet several other criteria related to your job function. They're kind of hilariously broad, though. It sounds like this also varies incredibly by state so a general nationwide discussion is almost meaningless. http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/fairpay/fs17e_computer.htm e: fixed link Docjowles fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Apr 28, 2015 |

They won't reveal who has gained compliance but say it's been done before. I don't care to argue. If it can be done cool. It's probably easier to do it in house or on bare metal.

Vulture Culture posted:That regulator should probably be familiar with this entire document from the PCI SSC on DSS compliance in the cloud: If you get hosed by the on site motherfucker, you'll get a cease and desist published well before you begin to appeal the finding. By then, it doesn't matter, because you're completely hosed. Now you understand the behavior of IT managers in mid sized banks. Thanks for playing.

crunk dork posted:Yeah they forward the help desk to my cell number too. Your time frame seems more reasonable, our SLA is 1 hour but they are expecting me to do this from 5am Saturday to 5am Monday (my actual shift starts at 5am on Monday). This has a $100 stipend, but given what they are asking it doesn't seem like much. I figured on call meant if emergency happens then you work, not monitor the queue and field calls your entire weekend. Seems to me they need to hire someone to work weekends or at least adjust shifts to cover it and give someone a couple weekdays off. I work in healthcare IT where poo poo might actually be a real emergency one of these days and even our on-call is not nearly that brutal. gently caress man.

Not quite sure if this is the thread to ask but here goes : I'm doing a lot of day-to-day tasks on Server 2008 & 2012 at work, but my boss has ignored my requests for any proper training or courses so I'm thinking of buying/building a server for home and playing around. Should I: - Buy an actual server (Poweredge T20 / T110 etc) - any actual benefit and if so what to look for (I'm still quite new to all server stuff) - Are there genuine training versions of Server 2012 available anywhere/somehow cheap/free? - Use virtualbox or something else?

Another CTB-Locker infection this month, this time from a user forwarding a suspicious email to someone in IT and then the recipient opening the attachment. There are defs from Sophos but it looks like they didn't come down until after the infection started. Oh well, more backups to pull, lessons to learn.

I got really aggressive with my email filtering in O365 and deleted any message with an attachment with an executable extension, or that is actually executable. For a company of about 800 that does a LOT of 3rd party messaging (customers and vendors) I get 30-40 deleted messages a day. That has stopped a lot of the virus from email propagation we were having.

SSH IT ZOMBIE posted:Labor laws are specific state by state...what state is there that has a "salary threshold"? It is common for employers to incorrectly classify employees. Unless your work is primarily administrative this exemption would not apply. You would still need to meet all the other criteria if this was applicable. Executive exemption requires having two direct reports and the ability to hire and fire. Overtime wages are the default and required unless there is a lawful exemption.

Prescription Combs posted:Woop woop finally gettin' promoted. Congrats, man. I was pretty excited when I managed to get only a 5% raise last summer, especially considering my company isn't exactly raking in the dough (we lost a MAJOR client...as in, almost 50% of all our profit major, so lay-offs and slashes all around, but I shifted positions from the entirely removed QA department to the MSP team and have been flourishing.) I'd kill just to get another 5% this year, but I don't see it happening...over 10% is like the fevered dream of a madman!

I was talking to one of our folks who sits in an office, and it turns out that he's going to be the remote PM for another project out at Langley, VA, and he wanted to know if I might be interested in relocating there to take the just-recently vacated Virtualization Admin position (since I was studying for my VCP5 in preparation of taking the test in 2 weeks). He didn't have a salary range off the top of his head, but he was going to do some calling and would let me know. Told him I was definitely interested. Now I'm trying to figure just how much a Virtualization Admin in Langley, VA should be charging, especially since it's at least a 10-15% cost of living increase. I'm thinking maybe $75-85k, but I might be way off.

Just got access to AD at my t1 helpdesk job. My boss told me not to do tutorials because she doesn't want me to overstep our scope. Yeah, I think I'm just going to ignore that. AD is the first real skill I'm learning here that will give me leverage to move up to an admin position. Because I'm not staying at this job past the end of the contract unless we start getting a lot more in-depth.

Had a phone interview with a group of 3 on speaker phone today. Well okay that kinda sucks trying to understand someone over speaker phone but oh they are asian with stereotypical accents and speech?  Doesn't really matter I suppose because I bombed the gently caress out of some softball technical questions. I cant even be mad at that awful interview but drat are language barriers a pain in the rear end sometimes. George H.W. Cunt fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Apr 29, 2015 |
