Lord Dudeguy posted:Friendly reminder for you Yes, they do. I get a report every morning that says who posted/changed their resume on Dice/CB/etc. Any recruiter that's any good is proactively looking for those candidates as opposed to just doing reactive searches for skill sets. Which is not to say that any recruiter that calls you is good or more on top of their game. The first to call is not always necessarily going to give you the best competitive advantage. As always, figure out who is going to best represent you, hopefully by meeting with them and learning more about them and their company/clients/culture and how it aligns with your needs.

Does the same thing happen for those who don't notify their network of changes? (Just curious, I'm definitely not looking)

Doing a Windows 10 kiosk machine for the first time and I'm quickly noticing how much easier this would be if I could utilize Assigned Access, but we're running LTSB here, which means no Store apps. This is definitely not me complaining about using Windows 10 LTSB, just an observation. Now I get to learn Shell Launcher instead! I could reformat and do install "regular" Windows 10, but this looks more interesting.

I have no idea why they did this. Then again, this was months ago that I tried this. Maybe things have changed?

Super Slash posted:Granted we go through a provider rather than Xerox direct, but we ran out of staple cartridges even though we have monitor stuff to auto order supplies. Xerox said they can bill us using account codes when we signed the contract. Like specifically told us they can bill us PER USER if they use account codes. Come to find out, they "can't see the account codes because they're internal to each machine and therefore can't bill us by internal account codes." Well how the gently caress am I supposed to bill the right departments for overages? We're sitting on about 6 months of unpaid bills right now because we have literally no idea how the gently caress to divide these up between department's cost centers. They just sent us a single piece of paper with one number for the total cost of all 15 of our copiers, and their overages. This is their invoice" quote:XEROX BILLING INVOICE

There is no information about billing in the contract whatsoever. In fact, there's really not much specific information about anything in this contract at all beyond "per VITA the printers will be delivered within 30 days of contract being signed." It still took them 3 months to deliver the copiers. I've been talking directly to them for about 5 months now trying to get this sorted out. I think I've met with more different people at Xerox, than even work in my building.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:There is no information about billing in the contract whatsoever. Take two lessons from this: 1) Careful when dealing with "behemoths" like Xerox, AT&T, Microsoft, etc. They do not care about your company, they do not care about making you happy, they do not care about losing you. The only care that their gears of bureaucracy continue to grind, ever slowly. Consider doing business with smaller companys that care about their customers. 2) Always get expectations regarding projects or contracts in writing. "This is what we expect, here is the scope of what we need to get this deal done." And leave nothing out. It won't avoid problems like this, but at least you can say you tried. For what it's worth I have fought with Xerox for years over billing issues. They never actually got it right. It went to collections and I told them to go gently caress themselves.

It sounds like a reasonable request. There's this culture of celebrating working late / skipping lunches that needs to go away. If you can't do all the work that is presented to you in an 8 hour work day, there is a problem. I agree that documenting your workload, if it's not documented already, is a good idea. It's possible he doesn't understand the workload you're presented with. For us, if we skip lunch, we leave early. If we handle a 3am outage, we come in late. It should not be expected, or normal to do those things.

Anybody here work with Cisco or HP 'hyperconverged' environments? Our vendor still can't figure out a way to get us out of our poo poo HP blade chassis and is now throwing this out as the end-all be-all solution. From what I can tell it's a mini chassis containing compute blades with 1 rack server containing compute, management, and storage, which doesn't seem all that spectacular. It also requires us to dump our 1 year old Nimble so obviously we're all pissed that this is our vendor's best solution. Judge Schnoopy fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Mar 18, 2016 |

Hyper-convergence (hyperconvergence) is a type of infrastructure system with a software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources and other technologies from scratch in a commodity hardware box supported by a single vendor.

Good or bad it's only a nice thing to have a work journal. If it's good, then you just gave your boss a log of why they are understaffed so they can go higher up to hire more people. If it's bad, you've got some great CYA. Win-win.

Lord Dudeguy posted:Friendly reminder for you A recruiter for a major video game firm reached out to me about a job that pays 30k more and actually has room to grow  The only thing that concerns me is the fact the role is specifically for executive support. The recruiter said that like half the time I'll be doing desktop/network stuff since the execs don't need constant care, but I'm worried that getting that much face time with C-suite is hazardous to my contiuned employment. I deal with C-suite and VPs at my current gig and never had a problem, but that's only because I could deliver and they aren't quite as big time as these guys will be. If I get a tough ticket and can't make good, who knows what'll happen. Anybody in an executive support role have experiences they want to share? Insights on how the job would work?

You'll probably get a lot of responses like "they are demanding and 24/7 and terrible" but like all things, it depends on the people. I support 20+ staff who I class as "executive" and some of them are demanding as poo poo, some of them are super chill and would never pull rank. Interview with them, meet them, ask them what their expectations are. It's the only way you'll get an even moderately accurate idea.
