Document, document, document. Labor offices love nothing more than being handed a stack of papers meticulously detailing violations, less work for them! Then enjoy your pay day after you do eventually find a new job!

I'm doing the CCNAX v3 class. I'm going to be so burnt out by the end of the class but it'll be worth it. I also have the ICND01 and ICND02 books from Cisco but I haven't had much time to look through them yet. They'll be for more after the class.

If you're going to try to invoke some sort of legal poo poo, talk to a lawyer first. The school has a lawyer, and they'll know the rules better than you do. Going into the arena unarmed is a good way to lose.

Correct, when I was on a WFM project, we handled the labor laws for roughly 35 states, and all of them required at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted break time, but it's State mandated in all cases.

That's federal law, not state law. New York state, for example, requires shifts 6 hours or longer to have a 30 minute break. This is like saying the age of consent in Japan is 14.

Yeah, less than half of states have mandatory lunch/break laws. Here in Indiana there's nothing of that sort at all (well, unless you're under 18.)

Goon 1's main point was that federal law blah blah, Goon 2 pointed out that federal law doesn't blah blah. You could have just posted "My bad, I was thinking of state law," but welp, here we are

Also, he's in Mississippi, right? Or is it Missouri? Regardless, neither state requires breaks at all, so he's hosed there too.

I see you all arguing over taking a lunch, when his statement is more the fact that apparently nobody was AWARE he was on lunch. In a school, if a student goes down to the IT office and waits around all class period because there's nobody there to tell them nobody will help them, or there's no sign on the door or whatever, then that's a problem.

"Why aren't you in your office?"
"I just left for lunch."
|
Honestly all that should need to be done is to hire someone to fill the open position formerly occupied by Larches' useless ex-subordinate. Then there would be someone from IT on hand at all times as they would take lunch at different times. Given that this is the public school system this position will probably just sit empty though because it will save costs.

 I was wondering why our phones were so quiet this afternoon. can't really complain, though, since this is the first outage we've had since starting with them a year ago http://vonagebusiness.force.com/trust quote:Access to the administration portal (my.vonagebusiness.com) remains not available. Also explains why my VoIP softphone wouldn't even let me log in, since it uses the same credentials.

Two newbies came in. I ended up taking them under my wing. Both of them think of me as the cool office dude and keep asking me for life advice as they think i'm 31. I haven't got the heart to tell them that i'm not actually in my 30's and the stress + beard just makes me look like that. They're nice people though

Well yeah of course your employer can, but at the kind of lovely job where you have to start looking at the MOL site in the first place, the employer probably isn't giving you those things in the first place.

Yesterday a ticket came in, we had to change the cpu/memory settings on like 100 vms. It got split up into a bunch of groups for 10 different engineers to work on. I volunteered to do all of them. I'm drinking a beer while the script runs. They all think I'm working hard. If you're working in Windows, learn Powershell yah doofs.

Quick question that's probably been answered before: Does anyone know of a decent free online product that I could use to set up a problem/solution database for my first level techs? There's a shitload of simple issues they have to deal with that would be made way more efficient with some easy online site where they could just search keywords and find an explanation/solution. e: it would be useful if each of them could log in as themselves to make edits
