Sure, confidentiality and industry secrets and whatnot but unless you are going to pay me pension for adhering to a non-compete, how are you supposed to make a living? You move to California where non-competes are illegal, and at-will employment is not enforceable for anything you do legally outside of work hours, you get overtime for working more than 8 hours in a day, and computer workers need to make $100k a year to be salary exempt.

Got offered the program manager position I interviewed for. When I let my boss know he offered me basically the exact same role on the team I'm currently on. Going to take the position on my current team because the other one kinda seemed like a scape goat position if things went wrong. Also that team is full of old guys who think that code magically writes itself if they yell loud enough.

Maybe that's just me?

Looks like HR wrote it. The cert requirements don't make much sense outside of maybe somebody working at a VAR and needing them for partner status. Pretty cool that they want the network guy to do 1st line support and fix laptops.

I've accepted a counter a few times in my career. It's not weird after but you just need to be careful how you frame it. A little white lie of saying "my old boss/colleague reached out and offered x y money" is a pretty easy out and doesn't make it seem like you were actively trying to escape

They have a defined tier 1-3 system though, which says the IT department is a whole team. It seems more likely that they have well defined rolls, but don't have helpdesk staff so they expect everybody else to answer calls as an aside to their normal duties.

I've been holding this one for a while, taken at a 6 billion dollar ISP:   For some reason me, the random consultant, discovered the ceiling collapsed from a rain storm. One of our 7600's had powered down due to the water. I later asked the NOC manager why they didn't catch it first and I was told "we don't do hourly walk thru's"

One of my favorite stories from an old job is the time the roof leaked in the middle of the night, and the oncall SA found out about it when the NOC relayed a call from EMC, who in turn was telling us that the water sensors in our Symmetrix had triggered it to phone home.

I can only assume that the water sensors are in there as a service-denying tool.

All right, I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask, but here goes: I'm currently in the process of digitizing decades old archives for a small company of about 5 employees. I've looked into possible solutions and feel that having an onsite backup of the files on drives (SSD? HD? I've yet to dig into that question) and an offsite on a cloud would provide the best longevity for the data and allow the company to properly dispose of the paperwork, knowing they can print back the stuff if need be. The primary reason for digitizing is to free up space first, and have readily accessible files on computer second (instead of having to drudge through old boxes with tons of shittily placed stuff). Now... I've been looking a bit online about possible solutions and have of course come across the big boys platforms such as O365 and GSuite Enterprise. I'm leaning toward GSuite right now since the next step after digitizing the docs would be to have it in one central location that every employee can access. The company was planning on hiring a local tech company to do an in house server thing and have the techs come and go every few months to check up on stuff. That probably wouldn't have been a problem if the price point wasn't 10 000$. So with that in mind: going for GSuite for a company of 5 people, to have cloud storage for the data, and being able to share said data amongst everyone seems like a good deal yes? Keep in mind here I'm talking about half way computer literate people (they know that 1000 MB is 1 GB, but don't ask them what RAM does in a computer or what the cloud is). I myself don't know much about the current cloud solutions online in the likes of GDrive, since that's the only one I've really used very sporadically. Am I on the right track or grossly mistaken? And if this isn't the right thread, I'd love to know which one.

For a smaller company onedrive for business/sharepoint or Google drive with an add on document management product could work, but it depends a lot on what industry you are in. Also consider how the files are being digitized. Will they have full ocr, how are they named and sorted. End users will want to search the contents

Yup need a little discovery around metadata requirements; how they need to search for and sort the files. Like if there is a cabinet with 15,000 sheets of paper all considered "contracts", then each drawer is for a particular "client", then inside each drawer they sort by "year", how do you translate that sorting digitally? Maybe they're just folders and file names and you call it a day. SharePoint or some other proper document management system could help with doing some real metadata stuff though. I am not familiar with gsuites capabilities around creating your own fields upon which you can search/filter/sort/display.

I'm trying to negotiate a better contract for Cisco WebEx for 500 users, and they want to charge us 1.8cents/minute for each person PTSN calling into a toll conference, and 1.4cents/minute for people joining with VoIP. This poo poo is free with everything else I've seen (GoToMeeting, BlueJeans, Zoom), while still being cheaper per seat as well. Does anyone here have better pricing for WebEx or is it always this bad?
