Where even is the Send + Archive button in Gmail?

 Going from a general help desk position to a junior sysadmin position in a nearby local government organization. I'll have to move out of my parents' place and pay rent but a 60% raise (From $35k/yr to $55k/yr) and health insurance with no premium is nice. Plus, hopefully I won't be bored out of my loving mind at work all day now. Definitely glad I didn't take those contract jobs I was offered last month. This time in 2014, I was delivering pizza, so, I'm pretty happy. high six fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Apr 1, 2016 |

Hopefully I'll have a good bit to do because the head engineer was talking about a hopeful migration of some stuff to the butt. I've got plenty of time to study at my current job but I've kinda been struggling with existential angst because I have about 20 minutes of work to do every day (And it's just paperwork, not IT related) and am stagnating here. I'm hoping this will help me get some of my enthusiasm for the field back. On a related note, anyone know any good primers for VMware View stuff? I've worked with servers but never VMware remote desktops and that's what they use at this job so I wanna get a head start.

I applied for a job at a local hospital as a jr sys admin. Pay would be a 70-80% increase. But I really don't want to leave the place i'm at now. However i'm still an external worker at the place i'm currently at. There's this big plan this year to create room so I can get hired internally. But that gives me no security at all. What if their plan doesn't work. I'm just feeling so conflicted about this. I'd love to work here internally. I'd be loving ecstatic about that. Pay would increase about the same, so that's covered. I have the freedom to learn. I have fun projects to work with. But I really want to have a secure job. I want to buy a house.

If there is one thing that I've learned from occasionally rubbing elbows with corporate bigwigs its that if they really wanted you they would've already made it happen. No quarterly/yearly budget modifications to wait on, no waiting on HR bs, etc. If they really valued you that highly they would make the offer now and figure out the internal details later. EDIT: Just as a specific example of this I'm reminded of a sales vp my last company had that they really liked who was working as a contractor. He had another offer and put in his notice that he wouldn't be renewing and IT got his termination notice. Within a day we got the notice that he was being brought on as a full time permanent employee. BaseballPCHiker fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Apr 1, 2016 |

In a strange turn of events my boss came by my office, closed my door and gave me a $5k bonus check. She then said she wanted to schedule a meeting to "catch up" with my task list, the one we last met about 1 year ago. That check is the first and only job performance feedback I've had since I started here. It's bizarre. I made a reminder for Monday to dig up the list because I can barely remember what was on it. On the job search front I have a couple of recruiters asking to get updated resumes, including the guy that helped me get this job.

It's bizarre. realtalk they probably decided to replace you, went out interviewing, and found that no one competent would work for whatever salary they're paying you so they realized they needed to make you like them before you cottoned on and got the gently caress out. I guess it's the Bay Area in me talking but $5k one-time bonus is like "eh....great you paid my rent this month, that's nice I guess".

That isn't HR's purpose and it won't benefit you at all in most companies. HR purpose: 1. Set policies and standards to make suing the company harder. 2. Recruiting 3. Protecting the best interest of the company in general against employees. HR is rarely your friend in any situation. Hell, telling HR about another employee in power doing something illegal is more likely to get you fired while giving them a head-start in the litigation process. Edit* To be less cynical the level of success is going to vary mostly based on who the person that is in the wrong. Someone of the same level of lower might be worth bringing up. Someone above you or gasp, an exec, you should be talking to a lawyer before you talk to hr. Sickening fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Apr 2, 2016 |

Honestly HR best example is Toby from the office. He doesn't care. Got a complaint it goes in the complaint bucket. Unless it's racism or sexual harassment. Just bolt. Update the resume and move on. That vp won't get fired or change his ways until he's found to be inept and since it's only 200-300 employees I'm sure he's good old buddies with the rest of your leadership team. Or become the dick trauma and just suffer under it. Whatever it's your career.

Whatever it is, it isn't important enough for you to go to HR over. Make memos, CYA, let it go. You tried, someone else shot it down, collect your check and move on. 2. They won't fire you, not while it could cost them money. They will just passive-aggressively turn your work life into such hell that your performance will either nosedive so far they can fire you for cause and deny you unemployment; or wait until the misery drives you to quit, and then deny you unemployment.

I'm actually really glad Chickenwalker brought up his issue, because I have a similar one with a director level who I wouldn't put out if he was on fire. I mean we're talking "I have daydreamed about making it a condition of my employment that I do not have to interact with him" level of preoccupying hate. The conversation in the thread lets me know that I need to just suck it up and ignore him completely until I leave. Luckily in my situation he's not preventing me from doing my job, it's more "making the percentage of my job which overlaps with his duties a nightmare".Alder posted:Uh I'm working on my N+ if that counts?

I completely get what you're saying but would you think the same of someone still in college that has an expected graduation? I've seen plenty of resume advice mention to put expected graduation since it shows you are pursuing education in some manner so why not the same with certs? What would be worse to see? Expected MCSA completion or seeing MCP certified since that's only 1 exam completed?

I'm not lashing out at you, but you can expect this to be the prevailing attitude. Yes I understand completely hence my resume just has w/e I can pull together from work exp. Also I don't like mentioning in-progress certs I don't have since this is a good way to kill a interview.
