 Please help us design a data warehouse that can accept between ten and several billion rows of data nightly as cheap as possible. Well designing a data warehouse that can accept ten rows a night is a little different than designing a warehouse that can accept billions nightly. Do you think you can tighten up this figure a little bit? Why should we do that? The cloud scales, right? What's the difference between ten and billions of rows? Scale.*sigh*

Surely a data warehouse that can accept billions of rows nightly can also accept 10 nightly. They didn't specify a a budget so screw 'em.

Whatever you do, design it so that it can not and will not accept less than ten rows of data nightly.

Hey buddy. Remember when one of your employees made an unreasonable and illogical request last month? I put all the reasons for denying it in the change request - AND even went outside of that and wrote you a nice personal - direct note explaining the situation. You probably ignored it. So, buddy, I don't really appreciate your strongly worded email to me, copying all of management, telling me that it's my fault that poo poo isn't getting done on your poorly managed project. Yes, I am good at documenting my records, the justification for not doing this, and chain of communication with you and your employee - and yes, I am going to call you out and copy everyone you tried to copy when trying to make me look bad. Thanks for being a dick and making yourself look incompetent all at once.

As in, in response to me? "Thanks Walked for reminding me of the technical limitations of Windows. I will have to revisit this with my team" Yes, yes you will. I have no idea why you're insisting your team of 4 do software development via Remote Desktop. There is literally no reason for this poo poo. (For the record we told them this is not a justified situation to purchase RDS CALs and setting up licensing and that it's truly not a good approach to loving Remote Desktop in to a server for [daily, by all developers] development. This is why they were issued laptops. A server is not a collaborative work platform, it is to host whatever poo poo you guys manage to churn out so it stays sandboxed from the rest of the network. Jesus gently caress this poo poo makes me angry)

How ethical is this? An employee signs-up for a contract position from x to y date. As the contract is coming up for expiration replacements are hired but they're can't be any overlap so the previous contractors are let go 2-3 months early.

Tab8715 posted:How ethical is this? In a vaccuum, it's dumb and unless the company is paying out the 2-3 months to the contractors, the company would probably stand to lose more than that fiddling amount of contractor pay in legal fees alone for a pretty slam-dunk case. In reality, I assume the company either: 1. Has some loophole they're invoking in the contract language 2. Is paying out the contractors but can't have the overlap of them actually being physically present at whatever location for some sort of security reason, 3. Is dumb as bricks and/or gambling that the contractors can't afford to take them to court over it

Erwin posted:Did they get paid for the rest of the contract? If not, what is the legal reasoning given by the company to not fulfill their side? The contract is at-will employment and you have even less rights as a full-time employee. The contract also specifies paid as completed. As for the actual case, it's due to overlap with new replacements. As you're paying double but you want candidates now before the old ones are gone. Completely legal but telling a prospective employee their contract extends from date X and ends on date Y but to later thrown in that it's ending early because they're filling it in isn't exactly ethical.

Woah, that's not the contact employment I've had. Here the contract is for a fixed length of time. If they end it early they're paying you out, because that was the deal. Otherwise why would you take a contract?

I don't think I've ever heard of a contract that doesn't have an early termination clause. Contracts are written to be favorable to the employers, not the employees. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

FFS. You're bad with computers. It takes you 20 minutes to register an account on a website because you can't seem to wrap your head around the idea that there might be more of the page below the bottom of the screen. If you have a text box to fill in and a giant button saying "click to continue" then try filling in the text box and then clicking the button. Don't stare at the screen for five minutes before calling me over to tell you exactly where you have to click. No it's not too complicated! No your gmail password does not magically let you log in to every other site so don't lie to me and say it does! This is going to be a long day

I was surprised with how much they described the job in straight up terrible terms. At one point, they mentioned the migration from 600 AIX or Unix servers to all RHEL, and that hey were doing it in by end of year. They jokingly said "ah, we are all going to have awful holidays this year, hahahahah!" But there were was such sadness in their eyes. Sure I want to inherit this team of Unix neck beards, and be the only RHEL guy because no one else is crazy enough to take this.

I don't see anything wrong with contract employment, nor do I think that companies which hire contractors are lovely. That's the conversation which has been done to death. Some people here have worked as contractors and had good experiences. Some haven't, and believe that contracting is arbitrarily worse. You can't reason somebody out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
