Pretty much that those pictures he took as a joke ruined his life.

Started my new job this week. Still trying to feel things out, learn how things work, and what my day-to-day role will be. But I've already managed to take advantage of a benefit I didn't have at my last job: Sick time!! I got food poisoning from eating a lovely reuben from the cafeteria, and had to call in on my 5th day on the job. Not that there's a good time to get food poisoning, but gently caress. Not the impression I wanted to make with my new boss and co-workers.

Do major software companies even do any testing at all anymore? Apple pushes a patch for the ridiculous "root" bug. Said patch completely borks file sharing on OSX, so they release another patch for that. Then the High Sierra update released Friday brings the root bug back! Not to be one-upped by Apple, MS breaks Windows Update, again... https://www.computerworld.com/article/3239729/microsoft-windows/windows-update-for-win7-broken-throwing-error-80248015.html. Reportedly it is affecting more than just Windows 7.

We dispatch service calls to service providers. Each provider has an email address. Some providers are small and this works perfectly, other providers have say, 10 service technicians so in theory there are 10 people who need to potentially receive an email. The problem is each provider is a vendor in our system, and they can have one email address. You can't use a group or list. In our old system, our customer service reps would manually forward the dispatch to a distribution list in Outlook. They're still doing that now. We were going to try to customize our ERP system so that you could use a list instead of a single email, but it wasn't possible. One of the customer service guys has done helpdesk before so he's suggested we change all the service vendors in the system to dispatch@company.com and then setup this massive clusterfuck of Outlook rules to send them out to the needed people. Bad idea because now you've moved all your tickets to this other computer running Outlook, you're going to hit rule limits, this is going to get hosed when we upgrade our version of Hosted Exchange, all the contacts are now not in the ERP system but in some Outlook mailbox... The solution to this is simple: Make the service providers create a distribution list ON THEIR END. It's not our problem. It'd be great if the software had this feature, but it doesn't.

Some providers are small and this works perfectly, other providers have say, 10 service technicians so in theory there are 10 people who need to potentially receive an email. We had a similar problem a few years ago. But we used GSuite groups to solve it. Make a group for said company/provider called provider@company.com. Put all the required emails in it and then change the ERP system to send emails for that customer to the group address. Thankfully our ERP vendor finally saw the light and fixed the software to accept multiple email addresses.

I still think it's the service provider's responsibility for dealing with distributing the dispatch call to their technicians.

I went into the IT room and it was beeping when I checked the computer it said a power outage I plugged the computer directly in to the wall and it restarted but we are still getting this error when we try to open the reports" loving users man. I have no idea how they got into that room. It isn't my problem, but I thought it would be fun to share.

Yeah I read that whole thing and thought "if they want it to go to multiple people, why not create a distribution list?" Solves the problem for what to do for employee turnover, too.

Pixelboy posted:Its probably their minimum block? Minimum block is 2 hours. It's because it's a customization to our Dynamics 365 portal, and they would be modifying it so that we could specify both items in the Dynamics UI. I didn't know that was how they wanted to do it when I posted. Whether or not that's best approach is a different argument.

I agree, but also as a developer I find that idea that it's "not possible" do change software that emails 1 person into software that emails n people absurd. I mean perhaps it's not possible for contract or political reasons, but in even the jankiest, shittiest application it's Not That Hard.

Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.. I have unfortunately been tasked with finding a replacement phone system for our corp. office. Our current system is an 10 year old analog Partner ACS "key" system with 4 inbound PSTN lines, and 15 extensions with large 34 button phones. But we are running into some limitations and problems with it (constant power supply failures, voicemail limitations, etc..) that have finally annoyed everyone enough that the CEO wants to replace it. We have a unique requirement in that basically everyone in the office has to act as receptionist. If the main receptionist isn't able to answer after 2-3 rings, someone else needs to pick up the call ASAP and handle it (page the person receiving the call and see if they can take it, or transfer to voice mail if need be). The CEO is adamantly against any sort of IVR or queue. Ideally I would like a system that is relatively inexpensive (say under $3k), self contained, and no licensing bullshit. So far I have stumbled onto Grandstream with their GXP2170 phones and UCM series PBXs, specifically the UCM6204. (which are ARM boxen running a customized Asterisk). From reading the documentation it should suit us fine. Any others I should be looking at?

Sickening posted:Never a good sign. It’s either someone trying to cut down on personnel or your boss not understanding basic management things. I've seen this happen when middle management is asked to account for the time of their underlings, like in a weekly status report or something. So rather than get involved with employees they delegate one of their duties to said employees. Which isn't good, but isn't end of the world either.
