Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Yelled at my CIO yesterday over the phone because he tried to badger me about telling someone that there’s a delay on new SharePoint sites because we don’t have a SharePoint person (I didn’t tell them it’s also because I’m not getting paid SharePoint money). They submitted a ticket with one sentence that said “need a SharePoint site for $team.” Zero effort.

Naturally, the person already has a SharePoint site, didn’t answer any of the clearly numbered questions I had (all two of them) and thought a SharePoint library was a SharePoint site.

I don’t blame the user, SharePoint sucks. I do blame our CEO that she whined to and the CIO that did no investigation and asked no questions prior to being super aggressive.

I need to find something else and don’t even know where to begin. I’d posted in the job thread and have been applying to mid tier RPA jobs but it’s been slow going. It’s really starting to wear me down.

Today at work, a remote user broke their laptop by leaving a pen on the keyboard and then closing the lid. A common occurrence. I sent them a new laptop last week and told them to contact me once they had it in hand so I could transfer their licenses for some software they use with clients in the field. They did that yesterday. I included a return label and told them to ship the broken laptop back to us whenever they got the chance. "Will do!" they said as I ended the call.

This morning I logged in to find out that they decided to bring their old laptop with the busted screen for reasons unknown to their client presentation this morning, and called my coworker freaking out when they realized the broken laptop wouldn't work for them. When he asked them why they brought the busted one with them when we just sent them a new one. They said they thought they could still use it and just use the new one once the old one completely stopped working. :negative:

Last thanksgiving I had my extended family over for the weekend. It was fourteen people in our (noisy, crowded) house and with the sudden uptick in phones, watches, tablets adding onto our existing phones, watches, tablets, laptops, TVs, peloton and goddamn mattresses I ran out of ip addresses. I ended up creating a guest network and dumping all the non-laptop devices there. I could hear my stupid ASUS access points groaning under the strain.

Oh, hi, Ralph. Do you work with me? Because your users sound as clueless as ours.
Like, I sent you a *brand new* laptop 6 months ago. Why are you still using your now 4-year-old laptop?

Best part is when the old laptop finally sits itself permanently, and they can't use the used-to-be-new laptop either because it fell off of the domain 3 months ago.

edit: That's when we get the call and find out they never migrated to the new one.

My current company is starting to seem shadier and shadier now that I’m in a new role and getting new information. I think layoffs are coming for sure

I referred a friend of mine to a client that I’d rather work for and spent two years building one of the most kickass cloud platform teams from 0 to a billion. I really want the job but I’m very contractually barred from taking it. Sometimes being a consultant blows

18 months, and before anyone says non competes aren’t enforceable it’s a non solicit which is plenty enforceable and our clients usually have MSAs that bar them as well. It’s a huge public company that also won’t pay any sort of fee for me to be released which would be somewhere in the half million dollar range

You can always say gently caress it and dare the consulting company to bring legal action but neither myself nor the client want to burn that bridge

We sent most of the staff home early today after receiving a mass shooting threat.

I’ve voiced my concern before that we don’t have any access control on our building and they publish our address and suite number for anyone to look up. There might be a need to look into alerting software in the future as right now the communication method was “message managers on teams to lock the doors.”
