Zero VGS posted:Yeah, I'm looking into those now. The only thing that gives me pause is that the biggest models they have still only do like 3000 watts, and my PoE switches have the potential to go way over that. Which is why it's extra terrifying they're running from daisy chained dollar store strips right now. get on my level

I picked up trash at the mountain yesterday, too, but it was voluntary and they gave us all pizza for helping out. Keeps the Forestry Service happy, and I didn't have to answer any tickets for 4 hours.

flosofl posted:Some work is more valuable than other work. That's why some roles have higher salaries or hourly rates than others. I'm not making value judgements on a person when I say that a systems engineer's work is more valuable than someone's who stocks toilet paper in the bathroom. Hi, market value vs. value judgements was already covered. I meant "my work is more valuable than your work" in terms of a value judgement, not what the market will bear. Nobody's disagreeing that some work is worth a higher market rate.

Sometimes when it snows I shovel the sidewalks if the landscapers are not prompt enough. I find that while it is not the best value proposition for my company, the immediate need should be addressed anyway.

I've barely paid attention and don't even know what the conversation is about. I saw a guy say he cleaned up trash near aborigines and then a bunch of freaking out but I didn't really turn on my brain so I'm just kinda lost and glossing past it.

Cliff notes *Shows up to new job, first few days goes well, 4th day he is handed a rake and told to rake dirt and clean up trash in the back yard of the workplace for a few days. *Goons respond saying that blows and having an IT person rake dirt is probably a red flag. *Goons respond with debate about being made janitors and lawn care people and someone tries to turn it into class-ism. *I tell that person to go back to loving tumbler. *Original poster responds back with a picture of said trash he picked up.

jaegerx posted:E: and never be DAF Days late (catching up from vacation), but a while back I saw a huge, tricked-out truck with the license plate "ITBUCKS". I immediately thought of DAF  This is even funnier now that I'm fully caught up on the post quoted at the bottom...On a more serious note, I'm definitely in the imposter syndrome club. Hell, even just in this thread there are several people who are around my age or younger, who are waaaaay more knowledgeable than me in areas I care deeply about (Linux, cloud computing, ~~DevOps~~, running an Ops organization), and it makes me want to reevaluate my position in the nerd pecking order. Recognizing that imposter syndrome is A Thing, and that you're doing it, goes a long way toward helping deal with it. Also, in all seriousness, I tell myself this pretty much verbatim when I catch myself thinking I'm not good enough to get paid well to do this poo poo: NZAmoeba posted:Also think about the lovely co-workers people complain about in this thread. They still have jobs. And finally: CLAM DOWN posted:Well

Daylen Drazzi posted:Had the phone interview today and the position is not quite as high as I thought it would be. I'd be working as part of a team of 20 or so people, monitoring and maintaining a virtual environment with about 120 servers across 10 locations. Would be lots of OTJ experience with SANs, fibre channel, updates, installs, etc. Didn't discuss pay, but my gut is telling me they might (and this is just a spitball guess on my part) go as high as $75-80k. I interviewed for my previous job with a hardass asking technical questions, who had a similar bluntness. This person was my manager at the job and the major reason why I left it. If the guy asking the questions would be your manager, don't do it. The other guy at my interview was the department director, who was a really wonderful guy, but not the one I interacted with on a normal basis to do my job. You do not want a Peter Principle'd engineer as your manager unless they have a wonderful people streak. Someone who happily rattles off your non-qualifications without remorse is the living example of a Peter Principle'd engineer. Methanar posted:"Help! HELP! I'm stuck in a well!!!"

I was interviewed and work closely with the head of our Infrastructure department. He's a foul mouthed sexist who loudly dominates every meeting to the point where I don't invite him to about half of the meetings I schedule because nothing I need to get done will get done because he will very loudly talk about whatever agenda he thinks is appropriate versus what has to get done. He's really competent on the tech side but he's basically a symptom of bad manager: he got where he is not because he's a great manager or super organized but because he volunteered for everything and anything, he never stopped asking questions about anything that ever came up to look invested, and anytime, literally anytime you'd send him an email he would respond with a dozen options and questions because ~he cares just so much about the job~. He says he has a family and personal life but considering the hours he's available and working (all of them, all hours) I kind of doubt it. He's the guy who is actively participating on a conference call when he's taken PTO because of sickness. He's the one thing I actively dislike about my otherwise great job and has driven me to job sites a few times when he's gotten in a bad mood and taken in out on me. Something about a guy who when in a bad mood will go from 'good job with all of this poo poo you've been handling' to "you're so loving incompetent I don't know why we keep you around, you'll be gone within the year if I have my way' is frustrating. tldr gently caress IT managers
