Dick Trauma posted:The CEO insisted on moving us last winter, into a space that was undergoing renovation. There is basically no upside other than he can piss away a ton of money on a worthless and ugly redesign. It has a been a clusterfuck, and the renovation is still going. The place is a disaster zone, concrete and drywall dust coating everything (including my servers.) Pinterest paid $89 million to get out of a long lease for a new buildout that was presumably already underway. Instead of moving everyone under one roof, they'll keep their 4 offices and have a lot of people remote. So it's not like your CEO would be the first.

The CEO forced the company to move on short notice from a good location with favorable lease terms to spend over $1M for a vanity project on a building we don't own and now might abandon. That is not smart.

Darchangel posted:OK, look, I get that banks or whatever are change-averse, but what about risk averse? What are they going to do when they get thoroughly pwned because they're using unpatched, unsupported OSes? How much does *that* cost, versus pulling up your big girl pants and paying for the upgrade. Mind you, smdh for the software vendors bending the companies over for just upgrading to a version that works on current/modern operating systems, too.] At this point I think we’d have to switch banking cores. Unless they decide to update their software to use anything other than ie. A ton of their stuff runs using Active X controls so I don’t really see that happening before IE is sunset next year. It would be a pain in the rear end but totally worth it if we weren’t locked into a multi year contract for the software at this time. At least we can use Edge with IE mode for a bunch of stuff for now. Thanatosian posted:Fiserv? Yep.

Boss got word down from on high that we need to reduce overtime (it's actually just comp time at 1:1). We all just shook our heads because as great as going home on time sounds it's going to be HILARIOUSLY detrimental to all the urgent poo poo that got dumped on us. Can't wait to see how this actually turns out because it sounds like they want us to do all the stuff, just faster.

The number of interconnected third-party systems that would need to be changed over alone would be loving monumental. And we're not even that big. Oh yeah; it’d be a shitshow. I think it’ll have to happen sooner or later though. Unless Fiserv modernizes some stuff, our core is going to hold us back as we go further into more modern banking solutions.

No more IE, no more weird installers you can only run off the hosting server, it'll be nice. Granted, I may not see it if I decide to get off my rear end and get some cloud certs so I can do something other than helpdesk.

The number of interconnected third-party systems that would need to be changed over alone would be loving monumental. And we're not even that big. Sheeeeit, banking core switches? Last time the bank I work for tried that, the project went FUBAR...they imported Indian programmers to coordinate with our dev. dept...that does not speak English...nor do they understand HEAVILY accented English. They spent about 2 to 3 million dollars and had to shitcan it as the things we wanted to do ended up requiring a major rewrite. About 40% of everybody involved got the boot. Most banks won't be able to find a ready made banking core (even COBIS) that suits EXACTLY what they want it to do. So you are looking at a rewrite. Dev. Debug, Testing, Certification and Certification from banking authorities to ensure you comply with SOX laws. Be prepared to spend $Texas.

Switching cores is the largest undertaking possible for a bank, followed by switching online banking. It's wild how much work goes into either. Thanatosian posted:"pain in the rear end" doesn't even begin to describe it We've got an entire team of people who work on projects like this (we're a vendor, so we're helping the bank folks navigate some of this stuff), and usually the banks are switching from one 3rd party to another. Imagine hopping between Fiserv, FIS, and JHA every few decades when all the people who have known the pain of the last conversion have left.  I'm so loving glad I'm not on that team.

The last few years we've spent a poo poo ton of money on remodeling existing spaces into open work environments. On top of that we've also put up two whole new buildings designed as open work spaces and broken into neighborhoods. That's maybe 1400 workstations worth in a 7 and an 8 floor building, supporting thousands of employees. The 8 story building opened in January. It's closed until probably June. On the plus side, what we used to spend on catering will easily cover the empty buildings. I used to get 3-5 meals a week out of meetings and meeting leftovers.

If we had a poo poo that does not piss me off thread, I'd post, but here we are: My tech guy gets a call from control room saying we have lost all movement of all CCTV cameras. He put the phone down and said "I was wiring up those cameras and they have all lost motion, I must have done something" me "ha ha have fun" - (it's happened before, it's just a loose connection so I know it's an easy fix and he knows what he is doing so it's cool.) tech "where will you be this afternoon" me " in office, or at job A or job B around these times" tech "I dont want to be on my own if it's fubar" me "you know it'll just be a loose connector, you'll be fine, don't worry, you are the man for the job" It is definitely time to celebrate the fact he held his hand up straight away... He also should be proud that even though he was worried about it (as no camera motion is obviously a big consequence) he needn't panic as I'm confident he will be fine. he knows the fault is a simple resolution and can fix it promptly so even though these tickets seem big and scary he is well equipped to deal with them. I know I said have fun when I could have said "do you need help" which I am sure does not do anything to make me look like less of a dick but I think I can highlight the point above that he is totally capable of resolving these things, it might be that first step towards reducing the fear factor when those big tickets appear which will help him loads in going about his business.

Anyone using BlackBerry UEM? Am I correct that you can't manage a Chromebook/Chrome Tablet, just Android devices? I downloaded the UEM Client on an ASUS tablet running ChromeOS, and I'm getting an invalid activation type. You have to manage these from Google's admin panel, right?

I'm hopeful that we can get a new president next year though, this Bush fella seems like the worst president this country has ever had and hopefully the country will learn its lesson and we'll never have anyone as bad ever again! Anyway sorry I can't help you with your issue, we're thinking of transitioning to this "ActiveSunk" or something? Some Microsoft thing, not quite sure what it is but hopefully it's better than Blackberry's stuff. OK have a nice day!

Adding to the "poo poo that does NOT piss me off" post, my department is getting serious about properly managing the huge proliferation of scripts on our network. We're going to start looking at version control, collaboration tools, and formal release procedures. Today everyone got together and installed VS Code, we set up our first Git repos, and the limited knowledge we have all got shared on utilizing these tools. There's still a LOT to learn, we're all complete newbies (except for one former MS guy), but I'm honest-to-god excited to start using these tools, and solve more problems with properly-developed scripts and code.

Devs usually have some random preferences though and going with what the collective likes is not that big of an issues as long as you can apply sso.
