For two digit numbers it's a Raid of the type of the 2nd digit but each "disk" in the array is actually a Raid of the first digit. So a Raid 50 is a RAID0 made up of RAID5s. RAID 100 is a RAID0 of RAID0s made up of RAID1s. Which is apparently a thing people do.

Nested RAID levels are used when people want to buy the cheapest of disks but get the most amount of performance, availability be damned. Also, it's super weird that nested numbered RAID works opposite of how you read it, in that RAID10 is actually striped mirrors not mirrored stripes.

I like the food at their public house in Astoria, but it's hard to gently caress up fish and chips when the fish is that fresh. It's pretty typical of small businesses, especially "craft" types in the northwest. Your work is underappreciated, you're underpaid, and you're expected to pick up the slack on anything that comes up, IT or not. HVAC system goes wonky? You're a computer toucher, close enough. Go fix it cuz we can't afford a service call. One of the survey guys is out? You know how machines work, just push the buttons, it'll be fine. Not like there's a government contract on the line if you gently caress up the measurements or anything. Not like you'd know the difference, since you work a job that doesn't normally involve getting a sunburn in the forest while holding a machete. You want benefits? Bitch please, I have 8 baby mommas on the payroll cuz I don't want my wife to know I'm sending them child support, so no you can't have health insurance. Please excuse me while I outsource half your job to a Pakistani programmer on Fiver and cut your hours. Why are you quitting? I've given you so much!

Oh, also, the time I went out on a contract job to a semi-infamous medical device company in Northeast Portland. They had to be HIPPA compliant and needed help with network security. Their network was two Windows XP machines (in TYOOL 2012) ad-hoc'd over powerline ethernet with an All Users read/write shared drive on one of them. I did some back of napkin math and gave them a bid on hardware and installation. It was substantial, obviously. They asked if they could just get a router from Best Buy and use the security on that. I left after telling them they needed to call someone with lower standards, and given my boss (said baby momma payroll guy above; that was one of his lesser sins) was an actual loving criminal, she'd be hard pressed to find anyone. I bet they're still using that loving setup.

Dirt Road Junglist posted:Bitch please, I have 8 baby mommas on the payroll cuz I don't want my wife to know I'm sending them child support... I once worked at a place where the owner's son (who ran most of the company by that point) was a philandering scumbag who had multiple mistresses (and at least one baby momma) working within the company. He had at least three or four mistresses that I knew for sure, plus a few more I suspected. In a company that had no more than 40 employees during peak season. His dick had been in somewhere between 10 and 15 percent of all the people working for him. And that's not counting former employees. It was miserable because those women had him (literally) by the balls. They hosed up all the time, and the poo poo rolled downhill onto the rest of us. Mr. Adultery wouldn't punish them because he was afraid they'd make a scene. He'd just yell at us to fix their problems. Literally yell. The whole place imploded a few years after I left. His wife left him and went full scorched earth on the whole thing. It went so bad that the owner (his dad) fired Mr. Adultery from the company! Dude is now working for an old competitor in a city on the other side of the state in a low-level position similar to the one I held when I worked for him. The schadenfreude is so good.

My Turns out "Helpdesk" really means "you and 2 other people going to be working 80-90 hour work weeks just trying to keep these 12-20 companies afloat and 500+ employees employed." I managed to do it for 3 years and I learned A METRIC FUCKTON mostly thanks to my 2 cohorts. One guy moved on after about a year. They basically fired him by withholding his salary from our dept's funding. He and I wound up splitting an FTE (whatever the gently caress that means since we still worked 80 hours) and each had our salaries cut to $20k until he left about 6 weeks later, but I digress. The other guy and I left at the same time to go work somewhere else and the entire company folded a few months later. gently caress that place. I learned a lot but gently caress ever being worked like that again. It's beyond abusive.

Dude is now working for an old competitor in a city on the other side of the state in a low-level position similar to the one I held when I worked for him. I eagerly await the day that happens to him, but I'm afraid his wife does know and just lets it slide. She does allegedly know about the time he hosed the 16 year old babysitter, which is why they can never go back to Utah. This is also the place where, in the first week, one of my female co-workers told me, "Pretend to be gay, and he won't hit on you. If you don't, you'll get dickpics and constant harassment." I faked gay, and it worked. When I left, he told her, "It's a drat shame DRJ wasn't straight, cuz I would have hit that." I guess bonus points for being the first harasser dude who took not-straight as "off limits" instead of "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED"? Another time, he handed me my paycheck with a 20 dollar bill stapled to the stub. "If you leave me a 5 star review on my latest SEO book on Amazon," he said, "You can keep it." I carefully peeled back the staple with my fingernail, eased it out of the bill, folded it in half, handed it back to him, and said, "I don't take bribes." And then I stole $20 out of the cash register when he wasn't looking because gently caress that guy.

I made a comment about "being pretty sure that they're legally required to at least pay minimum wage" but was told that I was Salary Exempt because I was in IT, so that did not apply. It was later that I found out you have to make at least $47,000/year for that to even count, also I didn't have the type of IT job that would even warrant that, so it was all bullshit. Too bad I don't have anyone left to sue, but last I heard the CEO was in hiding from some pretty dodgy people he borrowed money from and also possibly facing prison time for healthcare/medical device fraud. I wouldn't have it any other way.

In the US, an employer not paying you what you are already owed is one of the last things that is 100% protected.

Methanar posted:Can he just be fired for no reason and offered the possibility of being re-hired at a different rate with a bunch of winking Well, when your employer states they can no longer pay you the wages you agreed to, they can ask your permission to lower them. If you don't agree they are essentially laying you off (non-contractors) and deal with the issues of laying off an employee. If you are a contractor you have to agree to a new contract to continue. They just can't up and decide to pay you different when they feel like it. Wage theft is common because people don't know their rights or believe that it isn't worth fighting for them. These companies are stealing from you because you let them.
