Yea if I gave a company the opportunity to counter offer I'd require some sort of golden parachute in writing. No matter how trustworthy they may be.

Or do the thing everyone else does and keep looking while using your raise / new title to leverage an even better offer.

I wouldve never guessed opportunities like this would be available to me as a dumb 20 year old help desk guy that just knew about computers so he could setup LAN parties.

I know the general wisdom is to never accept the counter offer, but I've seen them work out more often than not. YMMV of course it really depends on the culture at your org If the only issue you have is compensation, and forcing their hands with an external offer gets HR and upper management to get off their rear end and take care of you, and you're immediate management is happy to do it, it can work out pretty well. In my experience, direct management wants to take care of their employees. Their hands are often tied several levels above them for budgetary or other reasons. I've never seen anyone hold a grudge against someone for signing a counter offer or label them a flight risk and look to replace them. Everywhere I worked just wants the employee happy and work done. If there are other issues with the job, money doesn't fix those. In my experience new money soothes the bullshit for about 6 months before it wears off. Counter offers are a one shot deal though, you can't ever really go back to that well.

Do not patch your domain controllers, this month’s patch can break Kerberos. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-kerberos-authentication-breaks-after-november-updates/

This guy owns Kerb at MSFT and is a good twitter follow to stay up to date on it if one is so inclined https://twitter.com/SteveSyfuhs/status/1590417822030917632?s=20&t=eaZ2rmfy--ejuhE6dBapFA

Good for you, man. I tend to be cynical about this sort of thing which is why I advised against, but I totally understand. Here's hoping the company was dealing with you in good faith, because if so all that extra feels pretty good. I think you'll find that most places are a shitshow in some form or another, it just depends on what genre you're most tolerant of, if you will. If the people you're working directly with are good, it's a lot easier to not care about stupid decisions the executives make.

Some days I legitimately enjoy bringing a toolkit to a customer service request then hearing them ooh and ahh as I swap hardware out on their laptop. I guess not everybody gets to see computer surgery in person.

Had a job interview and I guess it went fine but man I dunno if I want to work for an MSP after being internal IT for 20 years. They really gotta knock my socks off with pay and benefits.

Obviously Elon intentionally spent $44 billion to have Twitter as his own personal IT fidget spinner, so he's really just a really rich genius and not at all a loving moron.

He didn't care if other manufacturers were doing it for good reasons, he only cared that Tesla did it differently and because of that elements of the Model S were compromised. Seeing what's happening with Twitter, I get the impression he is doing the same thing.

I watched a video from an edison guy talking about electric semi trucks It was him going down a list of parts, calling out how every piece has been standard across many manufacturers for decades and how tesla is loving up because they're doing custom parts for everything

ya'll are overthinking it, Elon is a massive moron who thinks he's a genius, presumably because being rich fucks your brain up since nobody IRL is going to call you a loving idiot. Add to that decades of a cult of personality and legions of redditors telling him the haters are all bots and I'm sure he genuinely thinks everything he does is 5th dimensional galaxy brain judo. The rich should all be in one institution or another imo

I feel really weird about comparing parts standardization in semi trucks to nazi uniforms. Not sure the point you're making

Don't have the list handy but for the love of Christ never ever put your own phone number on LinkedIn. There's a scraping service that keep track of that kind of information. Despite only having my number online for about a week over a decade ago, to this day I still get a shitload of recruiters calling me without ever having given them my number. Don't be like me, use a burner. Also, how do you freelancing goons keep your resume from being 10 pages long and still provide info on when/where you gained specific expertise? I try to list 1-2 bullets per gig with responsibilities, achievements and tech stack but I'm getting old and the list is becoming way too long.

Got an absolutely cursed request that I am trying to implement in the least damaging way. Lab System A is running windows 7. Client application requires UAC to be set to “never notify”. System must be connected to the internal network in order to operate, so air-gapping is not possible. My gut reaction was a horrified “pls no” but we gotta move forward, any suggestions? Already planning to close every non-essential port
