Some threads have to compete with the more poo poo pisses you off thread for # of reports. Honestly I've taken your "Report posts you want moderators to see because they're awesome, since it gets disheartening only seeing the shitposts in the reporting queue" advice to heart.

I wasn't sure how to respond to that. I'm not saying don't report stuff. Definitely report stuff. But now when I get a PM or there's a report when I F5, my blood pressure raises. But just like IT, it's better to have a ticket than to not!

Man I hate putting yourself out there in a meeting only to get totally and utterly shot down.

Starting at a new job, been here about a month now. Get brought into a meeting about AWS logging since Im one of the only staff members to have some very limited AWS experience.

We start discussing CloudTrail and I mention that I think it only logs API calls and that this concerns me from a security perspective because its possible people could do malicious things through a hacked web console session and we'd be blind to it.

Only to get told in no uncertain terms that I am wrong.

It happens, I know others on my team didnt know either, they were just going along with what I had said. Still doesnt feel good though.

I had this happen twice in my first months at a new job during team meetings, after the second time I was updating my resume within minutes. I don't mind being wrong, but they had no arguments beyond me being wrong and I just lost all respect because of their tone.

:yotj: kinda?

I've been OK in my current position and wasn't looking, and my five-year plan to stick it out as long as it wasn't truly awful is 1/5th complete. Pay's good, work-life balance is good, other stuff is other stuff.

I got a Linkedin connection request from a major medical organization. A nonprofit, which was what I was targeting as a next move at the end of the plan. They asked if I was on the market, I said I wasn't really looking but I'd hear things out. The role is up my alley, we had a video interview that I thought was just a casual first round. They just extended an offer.

I need to hash out what the onsite availability is because there's no way I'm doing a commute to 3rd Ave from where I am in NJ on any regular basis. Maybe 3 or 4 times a month but I am not going into a hospital, on mass transit, into/out of NYC during COVID even if the office is right above Penn Station.

Not even gonna start thinking pluses or minuses until they clarify the commute and onsite. 3rd Ave is a bitch. Train station -> transfer NJ Transit platforms -> Transfer onto NYC subway is a schlep that I wouldn't want to do even for a nonprofit.

Congrats, its nice to be able to negotiate from a position of power.

In :yotj: news, I have a bunch of interviews lined up in 4 countries this week and the next. Europe used to be 10 years behind on the US when looking at WFH/remote jobs, but so far no one here has had any issues with me onboarding remotely and only moving countries after Covid get's under control.

My team at least was understanding. It was the outside team that shot me down. The guy was nice enough later to link to some documentation I missed, which was a nice gesture.

It just sucks that you get everyone thinking we have some potentially big issue only to be flat out wrong.

Oh well, learn and move on I guess. The saving grace is that our AWS security program is really just getting off the ground so I can make mistakes now I guess.

Europe is a lot more dense so internet access is less lovely than average US which means it’s easier to set up a home office. Also a lot of organizational inertia got smashed away to the point that several paper-only firms I know have moved to online only. This is the best time if you want remote jobs in the EU, after the emergency I am skeptical all firms will keep 100% remote positions.

What I meant was, for example I go on Linkedin and I look at remote jobs 90% will be the US with the only requirement being in the US but nothing beyond that. Europe still had a very rigid asses in seats mentality up till recently, like with my old employer here we had a don't ask don't tell policy for WFH because head office didn't like the concept. They now leased out half the office space and everyone is mandatory WFH until further notice.
One e-commerce company I'm interviewing with now leaves it up to me whether I move to where they are based or stay where I am now, it's all good to them.

This happens to me, like, every single day. I've learned to qualify all my thoughts/opinions and say things that make it clear I will solicit any viewpoint that runs counter to my own. And if I'm wrong, I just learned something!

How you handle accepting being told you're wrong is really going to make way more of an impression on most people than being wrong one time.

Haha that was not the approach I took.

After I was told how wrong I was, I said "Thanks for the info and clearing this up as a concern, this will help us move forward with our work". And left it at that. Im sure no one else gave it a second thought.

I'm just in a new job, in a new role in my IT career, and with starting full time remote really forcing myself to make an impact and be good at my job.

From consultancy experience: "I have some concerns about this but I would like to check the documentation to see if I can find confirmation or a workaround before we commit either way". Now you sound methodical and clever!
