Sepist posted:I've been put in charge as leading a few projects here but my bosses boss keeps referring me to people and using their short name like I will understand who these people are in a company of thousands of which I interact with 3 or 4. Like dude tell me their full loving name I just started. My boss did this when I started ~6 months ago and I finally had to just straight up say at the end of the first week, "I don't know who that is and I'm not sure why anyone would think I know who that is. You usually won't have to tell me something multiple times but you do have to tell me AT LEAST ONCE."

Sepist posted:This got overlooked but Have you ever taken a job and within the first day or two you realize that everything they said in the interview was a sham and they are in fact a directionless garbage company with little to no process control with a terrible culture? My last gig was like that. I knew within the first two days that I had made a horrible mistake. But I stuck with it in the hopes that I could be the change. Nope. poo poo company with poo poo culture likes being lovely. So glad I’m out of there. Didn’t even make it a year.

It only has 160k miles, could potentially fall apart at any time (not really but maybe), and the suspension is completely hosed because I used to haul busted concrete to the dump with it. One day I'll have a vehicle that is less than 10 years old, maybe.

In a weird chance of scheduled vacations, sickness, and family emergencies the entire helpdesk/desktop/whatever staff isn't here today. Nobody is around to do anything basic. Someone just asked me for an extension cord 20 minutes ago and I told them they have as much knowledge of extension cord storage as I do. No, I am dealing with new relic synthetics today, I don't give a gently caress that your keyboard is broken. I got my new "office" which is just these fancy glass panel walls all around it. Its like I am in a fish bowl. This office does have a door though and I have locked it. People now knock on the door and I look at them in the eye as I shake my head and keep doing what I am doing. I am about to print off a sign that says "Sickening doesn't do that". The only 5 people above me in the chain of command and only the CFO is here today.

Its a care battle and my locked office door trumps it all. I don't give a poo poo if they form a mob outside my office with loving pitchforks. I got my wireless headphones on and doing what I set out to do today while posting on something awful. Today is a good day.

The new lead developer we hired last week quit already. I’m assuming he got a better opportunity elsewhere because this company is cool as hell and he seemed genuinely into it at the lunch and learn we did last week on Kotlin.

It is amazing how everybody just assumes IT is the catch-all for "I don't know who to ask about this" stuff though. We just got done with an office move and the amount of people asking me questions about their desks and chairs was loving astounding. The office manager would send out an e-mail with info and people would literally walk to my desk to ask me questions about it. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 19, 2018 |

Inspector_666 posted:The office manager would send out an e-mail with info and people would literally walk to my desk to ask me questions about it. In our org when this happens it's kind of understandable because we spent effort creating documentation for Facilities/Building Management to set up desks in a standard config with monitors, dock, kb/m etc and they handle it all now. Way cheaper to pay a facilities contractor to plug in cables and crawl under desks than a level 1 IT tech (in our part of the country at least). So we get confusion around who handles what in this regard (mostly new hires and desk moves). My favorite is when I spend an hour crafting simple but effective documentation with screenshots and an email about an upcoming change, and they reply asking something that's already in the email. Now we send-as the "ITNoReply" mailbox which has an auto-reply "This isn't monitored, please go to the IT Service Bar Walk-Up or call the IT phone number".

so i just discovered GAM and about 45 minutes worth of scripting later I automated all the gsuite departure items I'm weirdly miffed that all this time I had no idea that this tool was out there. Sooooo much time wasted, agh. The worst part is, some folks on my team knew about gam and even had some custom scripts for it and I guess just never told anyone while the rest of us peons were slaving away manually

My issue with GAM is that Google won't go near it and their 'official' way to do something they haven't exposed in the pretty awful UI is to write calls against the API. They could really do with a web-based console for G Suite that they document and are happy to support.

I used it to backup a bunch of settings and update group members for hundreds of groups, and it was VERY slow for this sort of thing. I'm sure someone with some real scripting skill could have made it go much faster for me, but it took hours to run every day.

gShell is pretty great too, although GAM actually has some more robust stuff I wish gShell integrated (GAM can check if a thing is a group or user and gives you more control over group permissions.) gShell is way easier to integrate into the rest of your Powershell stuff and has much better error reporting, though. Writing a wrapper for GAM that scraped the output and regex'd error codes felt so wrong. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Apr 19, 2018 |

I'm sure someone with some real scripting skill could have made it go much faster for me, but it took hours to run every day. If it was over ~5000 api calls Google probably rate limited your account. you can get around this by setting up multiple gsuite admins by feeding multiple oauth2.txt files into your script. For only a few hundred groups... might be worth expanding the amount of GAM threads to 20 rather than the default 5? https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/BulkOperations ^^ the wiki has a very good teardown of a way to parallelize (parallelise?) large operations too.

The office thermostat at my old job was located in the Controller's office, who was going through menopause. It was either a meat locker or felt like the surface of the sun.

isn't it lovely when the first thing you do to fix a problem actually works? Our WSUS server synchronized yesterday and downloaded about 5000 new updates with no status before crashing and 503'ing all over the place. Restarting the WSUSPool application pool and bumping up the fault tolerances brought it back online pretty much within 5 minutes. Still not sure what the gently caress about the other 6000 updates, but it's online and that's the important part.

My old office, before I started working remote 100%, had its temp controlled by a secretary who sat right outside a conference room kept at 60 degrees (I don’t know why it was kept so low). Because she refused to wear a sweater or jacket in the summer she would crank her thermostat way up. There were 2 of us shoved in to an 8x8 office with 3 PCs, 5 monitors, and a coffee maker. It wasn’t unusual for my office to hit 85 on a hot summer day which wasn’t fun when you had to wear dress shirts every day. We asked maintenance to disconnect our heat but they refused.
