Feel like I'm missing all sorts of good stuff (Dick Trauma) by sticking to only this thread and not the others.

Judge Schnoopy posted:DT are you married? Do you have kids? Have you ever pissed on a native american grave? We need to know these things ahead of time to avoid last minute bombs on our success stories. Not married, no kids, but I'm a long-time blasphemer who can't so much as get a cup of coffee without taking the Lord's name in vain. Also my soul has been crushed down to a sodden black wad of misery. I was hoping all those years of pressure would've produced a diamond instead. My money's on getting axed before the end of the year to save them having to do a performance eval. Frankly it's been many years since I worked for anyone I wanted an eval from. I certainly don't need to hear this boss tell me what she thinks my deficiencies are.

spog posted:You really need a change of career. I disagree, none of his problems arise from the work he's doing. It's all from the people he interacts with. The career is fine, but working in small businesses is his downfall. DT, you need a giant corporation where you can slink back in to a chair, do some work, get paid, and leave it at that.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Guys, he doesn't care about the paternity test, it doesn't matter to him. He's already said he's determined to love and raise these kids, why does it matter if they resulted from his wrigglers or the other guys? Aside from the practical issues (divorce, support, medical history) Because that's easy to say in the moment. You don't think it'd eat at anyone? Not really knowing if my children are mine or the result of my wife's infidelity? Maybe larches is a superior evolved human, maybe he's just in shock trying to hold onto something.

Anyway, a store manual draft came in. Boss wants me to edit this for grammar and consistency. Here's the introduction, untouched (except to remove identifying information): quote:The motto of “Sunnyvale Trailer Park Computer Repair, LLC”: “Help the community and the money will come. It is our duty and privilege to help others as we would want someone to help us.”

Segmentation Fault posted:Where's the redpill poo poo? It's more that things were headed in that direction, with people responding like you can and should just bail on your kids if you can get away with it (as in those you raised, not necessarily genetically). I believe larches when he says he really loves his kids and that a paternity test or whatever wouldn't change that. And given what his relationship was like it does sound like this is probably the best possible direction for him to go in. I will say that IT and raising kids is rough, though, since I'm going through exactly that now. I could sort-of deal with the bullshit in my job when I could get up 10 minutes before I had to leave and could unwind as soon as I got home, but that's sure as gently caress no longer possible and after a little over a year it's taking a pretty serious toll on me, which I'm dealing with but it's certainly more challenging than I expected.

Also, gently caress any business that says "The money will come". Not if you don't go get it! A way better agenda is to "Provide value to the community" because that implies you'll get paid for the poo poo you do, that you're important, and you're still contributing to the better good of the customer base.

This is one reason I'm a little hesitant to go out and try to get a new job at a more interesting place. I know that once I get my CCNA I'll really start looking, but I'd like to just move into a different department here if possible. The stress level's almost non-existent here, compared to my last job, where I was basically having panic attacks on Sunday evenings. That was before I had a daughter and I don't want to think about trying to handle a job like that and not having the ~5 hours after work to do whatever I wanted like I did back then.

Yeah I don't think he should bail on his kids, but I can understand the impulse. Judge Schnoopy posted:I still have no idea what the company is supposed to do. His philosophy is essentially based on karma and faith, or in other words complete chance. I'm honestly baffled how this business has survived for 7 years, but it has. He's also a Moonie and a mason, so that's nice too. Right now his phone keeps going off every 5 minutes with this weird angelic hymn because he can't set his alarm to dismiss instead of snooze.

A shell script that makes coffee for you is one thing, but a shell script that is designed so that the coffee is made specifically for you and is set up so that it's ready the instant you arrive at the coffee machine is some next level poo poo.

I'm sure if you do this the bonus will come. its there own fault The owner is stupid, bigoted (the kind of bigot that pretends he's not but "doesn't approve of the lifestyle", funny story about that actually), arrogant, has serious anger issues he attempts to medicate with liberal application of Xanax, and has a knowledge base that's over a decade old and is built on cargo-cult instruction to begin with. He believes that all computers (no matter what they're used for) should run enterprise-level endpoint antivirus, that having over 3 gigabytes of data on the desktop causes crashes, that Steam was until recently a portal for viruses, spends way too much on "military-grade" motherboards but cheaps out on power supplies... When I first started working here we didn't have proper garbage disposal, and the owner's idea of a trash bin was a garbage bag clamped to his desk. I had to keep harassing him to get a proper trash bin, which he never got, and I had to end up ordering one from Newegg while we bought a bunch of parts.

Crowley posted:This. Let's do this. Ha, my last job had the opposite problem, and always in the winter - the heating system would randomly just break and stop working, but the fan stayed on so it would circulate freezing cold air through the entire floor. Since it was an office that we leased, it was a pain in the rear end having to call building management, who called HVAC techs, who usually didn't show up for hours while we were all huddled at our desks in full winter gear or pulling space heaters out. The coldest I think it got was down in the mid 30s inside, and outside was like 20 below and windy as gently caress. We dealt with that poo poo at least 5 times in less than 3 months, it was ridiculous. Funny thing about space heaters in that office - apparently the electrical couldn't handle having more than 2-3 heaters going at once. We found out the hard way when two ladies in the office turned on their heaters at the same time and killed power to half the office. This was in spring when temps were in the 60s and 70s, and the office was usually consistently around 72-74 in spring/summer. Then again, if they wore clothes that weren't as thin as loving Kleenex, or layered better, they wouldn't be so goddamn cold, but I digress.

I got quitcanned today. Basically I got pulled into a meeting over an issue that I'd requested escalation in for an onsite engineer but never received a response from on the appropriate team. It was approaching the end of my shift so I handed it off to the next shift coming in to pass off. Apparently they didn't pass it off or put it in, and the issue never got escalated and the client got mad because the ball was dropped. Basically their version of events was I never did anything for this person. Long story short, I did not back down and was fired for insubordination. gently caress this week.
