Did they ever stop advertising for unicorns? I've still been seeing stupid JDs, just less of them. I'm hoping one of these works out, I'm getting tired of this job and making another 30-50k would be life-changing.

Actually I think I mentioned it in here but I had an interview for what was supposed to be an entry-level automation role for $36/hr in Denver where it turned out they really wanted a full-on DevOps engineer but didn't want to pay for one so they figured they would require all the skills while still keeping the low-paying name.

I’m confused. So they over advertise pay for an entry level job so they could find a devops engineers for $36 an hour? How did they think they’d get devops people to apply?

I figure they think they'd nab someone who had the qualifications to do devops work without knowing they where basically devops engineers. I mean I got my foot in the door with cybersec by basically doing cybersec without the title or pay.

That is currently the plan at the place where I'm working. They want someone who really knows Azure, but are currently offering far below market. I think they know its never going anywhere, as the managers involved have stopped talking about it. I think we are hoping to hold onto people from an upcoming acquisition, but I doubt they'll get much. Anyone there isn't far from a large metro area and will be able to bounce for a job with better pay.

Our long term plan to make a gentle transition from BigFix to SCCM got upended with HCL's acquisition (buy american!), so we're disabling all operator accounts and all open actions tomorrow night at midnight when our support contract expires. We've got endpoint management up and running for patching and servicing updates, but the reporting and monitoring features aren't nearly where they need to be compared to how mature our BigFix environment was. It'll get there. Our bigger issue is that we have a lot of custom actions in BigFix that haven't been migrated to SCCM. We've been trying to get a full-featured trial of AdminStudio since the functionality we want to test before dropping that kind of cash (wrapping multiple .EXEs and action scripts into a single MSI*) isn't available in the regular trial copy, but we've gotten no movement on that. So our deskside teams are in for a rude awakening on Friday when they have to start manually installing a couple hundred different software packages that we haven't been able to migrate over to SCCM yet. If the government doesn't shut down of course. lol. In my role I thankfully don't have to deal directly with any of this poo poo, other than tertiary bitching from that section of the admin community and it upending some of my identity management workflows that rely on reporting out of BigFix. *Example. We have an R package that we deploy to a large segment of the userbase. It installs R 32 and 64 bit, RTools, and RStudio (4 different exes), and has a action script using icacls to give Authenticated Users RMW to the install directories so they can self-install packages and make modifications to their development environments without having to deal with their user profile, which is redirected to OneDrive. Getting all that packaged for SCCM deployment is (apparently) a bitch? We have a shitton of stuff like this due to our "if it's installed to more than 25 machines, we package it in BigFix rather than do individual installs" policy. We have 30,000 users, there's a lot of poo poo that's installed to more than 25 machines.

"What will we like least about working with you after 6 months?" I'm not sure if this is my company's attempt to be edgy or something? It's the 3rd to last interview question on this sheet.

I think it needs to be worded very carefully, but I sorta get what they're trying to do with a question like "What do you think your coworkers would describe your positive work-related characteristics as?" "How about the negatives?" I don't know if I'd recommend it for an interview, but it's the sort of thing that, aided with realistic expectations for how different people might answer these questions, could potentially be useful.

The asking coworkers thing is fine, but I interpreted "partner" as in significant other. Really getting into dangerous HR territory there, regardless of its general shittiness.

Really getting into dangerous HR territory there, regardless of its general shittiness. Absolutely, and I want to clarify, I'm not suggesting that an interviewer actually ask other people things. It's more of a emotional maturity kind of question. As a fully anecdotal example, I know someone who asked a question along those lines, and the interviewee went from being generally pleasant to talking utter trash about their coworkers, that they're a bunch of idiots who don't appreciate genius and that they'd probably just lie to make him look bad.

After getting turned down for a job once early in my career because I didn't realize what qualified as speaking negatively about a company, I have learned how to be diplomatic about any problems my coworkers or former companies have had. If I have to say anything less than positive I find some way to make it sound understandable and unavoidable given the circumstances and mention how people tried to ameliorate the situation as much as possible. For example I don't like how much I'm limited by procedures at my current job because it feels like I'm not empowered to do things that I know I can, but if I'm interviewing at a startup that asks me about my attitude towards taking initiative vs following established procedure I can say how I feel while also saying how established processes can be a very good thing to prevent issues from coming up and contribute to higher customer satisfaction when customers caring more about reliability and consistency than speed, but that I would prefer an environment that allows for a bit more flexibility. I definitely wouldn't mention how you absolutely have to stick to the letter of all of the processes at this company because whenever anything goes wrong the first thing managers do is look for someone who didn't follow process and blame it on them regardless of how much that actually impacted the situation. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Sep 29, 2021 |

Well, apparently my manager submitted the transfer out form and the manager for the position I'm supposed to be promoted to submitted the transfer in form today. The new manager requested HR do some research into the appropriate salary, but I expect them to cherry-pick low ones. Would it make sense to take a bunch of screenshots of job ads for this state for the same job title with their pay range (CO requires employers post that now) to say "Hey, market's crazy right now" to try to get them to budge a little bit and then I still probably bounce in a year because it's still a MSP and I'll still be underpaid but at least then I have Cloud Engineer on my resume already? When I was converting from contractor to FTE I brought in numbers from DICE and Salary.com and stuff and they said "Well we did research too and here are some sources that back up our pay range" and showed some sites I literally never heard of in my life. I'm still not optimistic I'll get anything above average by doing this but I'm hoping that sending them like 20 job postings open right now in the same state for the same job title with employer-published ranges will be a little better as far as getting me to average.

HR director lost her phone this weekend so I had to go to the Verizon store and get her a new one. I found it really odd. Then yesterday she came in to get it, and Verizon screws up the DEP enrollment so she didn't get it. She signed out of her computer at 5:02 on Tuesday. Nobody had heard from her all day today. People were asking me if her new phone was working etc etc A couple hours ago I found out on social media that they are looking for her husband because he killed her. Tomorrow should be interesting. Verizon just emailed me that the phone is enrolled in DEP.
