Oh the entire idea to not close down shop but then try to force PTOs was the managements. HR are just the tools executing that idea. From what I have gathered, over here it's not possible to force employees into PTO unless the entire company shuts down for that time or a similar important reason. Management mistakes are according to court cases not an important reason. Happy Litterbox fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Dec 14, 2022 |

My company has, for the last 20 years, closed down the week between Christmas and New Year's Day This year, they decided not to do that. They said it was because the closure was too disruptive to our sales teams, which makes no sense because we sell to businesses, which are largely not online that week. So they traded our contiguous days off for random extra holidays throughout the year. Which has proven even more disruptive as different regions get different sets of holidays. Also, basically everyone took their PTO for that week. Me? I took next week off instead. I'm working the four days between Christmas and New Year's, sure...but I expect to have absolutely nothing to do. I'll probably catch up on Reservation Dogs.

I always work the last couple weeks of December and I even get an extra bonus for doing so. Even though I'm basically doing nothing for a week.

I'll probably catch up on Reservation Dogs. December is basically a wash for my employment too in terms of getting work done, especially since my job now relies on other people doing work, and most everyone is taking time off because they did a poo poo job of taking time off earlier in the year so I took next week off, and then the last week it's just working from home and try to do work but probably will end up playing videogames or something tbqh. I would like to do work...but see previous paragraph.

We are open on the three working days between Christmas and New Year but I WFH anyway so I never bother booking it off regardless of what's going on, I can be guaranteed to not have to do anything so it seems like a waste of PTO to book it.

Christmas week is my gently caress around on personal projects week. I never take that time off because it's the only time of the year where no one will bother me for any reason and no one has any expectations for performance, just restart stuff if it crashes. (and personal projects are almost never work related in this case)

As someone who works at a place where they don't really consider technology, ever, even when they should, explaining that all the third parties we rely on are generally not available the last two weeks of the year has been hard and is something that never sinks in. Not to mention that, I, am not available at least one of those weeks.

I am going to combo breaker you so hard. I agree with you, though. Moving those things to a managed service is way better than Access or Excel stuff that never receives updates.

the best part of having that crap in managed services is that theyre audited so i can have evidence of the stupid users' stupidity instead of getting "oh the formula worked last week i dunno why it isn't working now nobody touched it  "

I agree that it's good to let people do their own thing to get the work done. It's bad when that thing comes back to me because it's a computer thing and nobody else understands how it works but it's also a business-critical access database that requires Access 2003 and macros or poo poo.

A year or two ago, I wrote an API that would be interfaced with a RPG program running on an AS/400. I made sure to have error messaging for any error case. Unfortunately, the RPG programmer didn't take that into account, so if the process failed, a vague email is sent. Even dumping the raw json, my process returns if there's an error would be better. Luckily it only failed twice so far, but since I have to figure out what went wrong I wish the other programmer put more effort in.

Going to have to tap the DNS Sign tonight. Had this weird problem with a subdomain that is used for marketing things. It gets delegated to another company's name servers. We've been expanding it some other divisions, and it hasn't been working for a few of them. Went through everything, called support on the company that manages the software, all looks good. But doesn't work. While poking at it today using a online dig tool, I noticed that at times, I'd just not get a response back. Isolate to a specific name server, and it turns out that during the migration to this new product, they put in the wrong IP. So when ns1.fart.boner is query'd, instead of a nice external IP address, they get an internal one. Looking further, it turns out when it does work, its when the service actually queries the old DNS servers that have been left on. Not happy that the people handling the migration didn't catch that.

I had a funny incident where the DNS proxy in a SonicWall was doing the undocumented behaviour of returning a CNAME result to a client for the first request, and then for every request after that from any client until the TTL expired it was flattening the CNAME into an A record and breaking Kerberos.

IPs? You should simply list the hardware address of the computer you are trying to connect to along with the hardware addresses of every hop along the way so they know how to get there.
