Even today, you'll get people saying that they are exempt from a lot of security controls. Which has led to one of the more disgusting terms I’d ever hear about, and learned here, the “wet signature “. I’ll need you to sign this, and make it sloppy wet.

All of our engineering documents are e-signed and emailed at work, I haven't seen a physical engineering copy with a PE stamp since 2018 or 2019. When I need to e-sign a special order, I have a few signatures I did on my phone and have as set up digital signatures. Slap one of those on the relevant line and it e-signs and it's valid for everyone's purpose. I don't understand the demand for wet signatures these days.

Not pissing me off but making me laugh. We're moving to a completely new EMR system and installing new credit card readers. Well we did an initial setup/test of them a few months ago and I noticed a bunch of Chinese wifi networks were saved in the configs, the team running that side of the project said that's not a big deal. These at their basic form are just android devices running some sort of custom build. Well today we find out the CC readers were having an issue making connections so our network security team started looking into it and come to find out, all the CC readers were trying to reach out to a chinese server to do a firmware update, which was being blocked because, well China. Ya guys, I'm sure whatever random company in China you bought these from is totally trust worthy with an entire hospital systems credit card payments..totally.

I just got rejected for my yearly merit increase (not even Cost of Living increase) because, and I quote "you're on the high end of the pay scale ratio." What's a pay scale ratio? Well, that's where you take everyone at a particular job level. You figure out what percentage of total wages spent that level are spent on an individual. You then put all those on a spreadsheet, find the mid point, and disqualify anyone over the mid point from getting raises. So basically I make too much to get raises. Meanwhile, company is expected to announce record profits for the third quarter in a row.

Agreed . Orgs are learning they have less leverage now , but not all of them get it . I’ve seen more postings at shittier pay and terms lately - as yeah sure there are more candidates in the pool. Feels like a chicken game though, and some of these places are going to adapt and pay up if they want to attract talent.

Has anybody looked in to project management/task management in Office 365 recently? It's a loving mess, and it's pissing me off. We're looking to get internal departments off of our on-prem Redmine server, and have started looking at the Microsoft tools for replacements. Right now, there's three different versions of Microsoft Project, all with different backends, so they have different feature sets, limitations, quirks and gaps. Then they have Planner, which does task management and assignment. But wait! There's Microsoft Lists, which has the same look and feel as Planner, and can do more or less the same thing. And did I mention you can export Planner data to some versions of Project, but not others? Did I also mention you can back up and restore the data of one version of Project, but not others? And retention policy isn't supported on Planner? Goddammit, this such a loving nightmare. Our departments have been resistant to migrating off the current platform already, and with all these half-baked products they're going to raise hell about switching to one of them. There's always a missing feature, which is included in a different O365 product, but THAT product has missing features of its own. Get your poo poo together, MS. capitalcomma fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Printers printers printers PRINTERS printers printers printers. The Latest Win10 patch for PrintNightmare (KB5005565) is loving everything. Breaks OneDrive, Office programs, Adobe Acrobat...oh, and our Network morons finally Did Stuff about PrintNightmare from the print server side, so everyone and their brother's uncle is calling in about the DO YOU TRUST THIS DEVICE prompt they get for each and every loving printer. PLUS we're still trying to get all the bonehead literal farmers and cowboys who moved offices from the burbs to downtown set up on THEIR loving cavalcade of printers. There's literally almost 1 MFP/person! E: OH AND! The heating for the ENTIRE BUILDING is out and because of 1950s design quirks, despite the building services peeps turning up the supply air temperature, no warm air actually REACHES the fourth floor where I sit. So I'm loving COLD all day. dragonshardz fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Oct 13, 2021 |

One morning, during a heat wave, we came into the office to find that somehow it had dumped puddles of water out of the vents and all over the carpet and desks, taking out a few desktops. Facilities management - not a job I'd ever want to do.

We're migrating from a 5 year old lovely finance system that the entire company depends on to a newer version. We're also building it in Azure this time around. Consultant from the vendor of lovely system spent about two weeks building it. We rebooted it today to resize the VM in prep for go-live and it broke, half of it is just loving gone. Turns out the consultant put some of the DBs, half of the software and a lot of the config onto the ephemeral drive.

And there was some half finished floor they wanted people to start using or something?

There is only one project management software in 365 and it’s called project 365. Lists is not a project management platform, it’s a low complexity data storage platform. Planner is a cheap task manager which is fine if you don’t ever need to go beyond simple kanban boards or simple items. Given that redmine seems to be designed around code developing I would suggest you trial azure devops which include tasks/issues management.

Oh man, I sure love getting thrown under the bus. We have a couple of SSID's pushed on our APs, one of them is a sponsored portal that will approve a device for a year. That is usually to help less technically minded people connect. A new director wants me to remove it, he says its too slow and people don't like it. He doesn't say who has this problem, just he doesn't like it. But he's my boss's boss, so I put in a change order and do it. Today I get some asking why its gone, and I say "this person had me remove it" they ask him and he emails me "Did we remove this?" I respond with yes, and asks why it wasn't communicated. I mean, it when the change management group, and managers and such are on there. So yay, incoming bus.

The batteries in my Cyberpower UPS are like 3.5 years old right now, I'm loosely looking for new ones (among other reasons reports that they poo poo the bed around that age), except I can't find them anywhere here in Europe, and the very verrrry few shops that have them listed are all out of stock. Awesome. I'm about to rage buy an APC. But the next best sinewave one of theirs with the same capacity is nearly 500 eurobux.
