By starting today they get insurance effective tomorrow (individual fully covered) and a pay check for the next 17 days. They cant do their work until the 17th because the position they are hired for doesn’t exist until then so they are “training”. Also got a $5k signup bonus. This person has zero experience in this field and is the most entry position in the company.

Cyks posted:I’m not doing this poo poo this morning. I hope this is real. We had something like that a couple of weeks ago. Manager tried to be sneaky and move up a hire date that moved from Aug. 14th to this past monday, on a Friday evening after most of the staff had hosed off for the weekend. We typically don't prep accounts or equipment till the week beforehand for a few reasons, so I think he figured we'd just do everything Monday morning. Anyways, my manager noticed the ticket Monday morning, and promptly told the hiring manager the new hire's new start was Tuesday.

Handsome Ralph posted:I hope this is real. The only part that was somewhat not true was the “without warning” part which I learned later. The person’s regional director told them to show up for the reasons I’ve mentioned in another post. Both IT and HR were not made aware of the person starting early until our 10am Teams management meeting when the director introduced this person. The frustrating part is ~20 other people are also starting on the 17th, some who will be this person’s managers, but nobody else is being treated this way. I held off a day without giving equipment but they’ll receive it today. We also had an employee last month show up who never even signed their acceptance letter who they decided to let work as well to the surprise of IT and HR, so not sure why this is surprising to me.

Is there any reason you would need a gitlab runner in Azure to perform infrastructure build tasks as opposed to anywhere else? We operate in all 3 clouds but we have someone on a project who evangelizes an "Azure everything" attitude and he can't be trusted sometimes. Our gitlab is hosted in AWS and he's telling me we need another gitlab in a management vnet in Azure to talk to private RGs in the same subscription for infra/container build/code deploy functions. I told him we already do this from aws because the Azure API is publicly exposed but he kept arguing that these resource groups will be private and thus can only be accessible from the management vnet in the same subscription. Unfortunately my Azure foo is a little weak and my teams Azure expert is too new to challenge absurd claims. I'm gonna speak to them privately later and try to short the poo poo out but I wanted a goon take.

Can’t really answer this without a full accounting of the services you’re running, how things are deployed, and whether the public clouds are connected at a networking level somehow. Usually I see people putting a runner on prem then letting it connect to any cloud service over VPNs and express routes and direct connects and poo poo. You definitely don’t have to have runners in Azure, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need runners in Azure. If that makes sense. i am a moron fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Aug 1, 2023 |

Usually I see people putting a runner on prem then letting it connect to any cloud service over VPNs and express routes and direct connects and poo poo. Yea we normally have all our cloud infra interconnected by VPN, so the runner location is irrelevant (although we do try to keep them in the cloud they build in), but this project is being built in isolation due to being a marketplace PaaS which introduces complexities. I think the word API is confusing people, as I am talking about the APIs azure uses to invoke build/deploy and they're talking about the platform APIs. I guess I'll just have to keep asking questions.

If you take a web app service for instance, you can always connect to what I would consider the platform APIs and perform certain functions (like creating a web app/deleting it/changing network ACLs) but if you have the networking private you may need direct LOS to the private endpoint to, say, push the actual code. I don’t remember if that’s actually true for web apps though, most things are consistent about what API actions are exposed broadly to something that’s just using a service principal and isn’t directly connected networking wise but it’s not always true because lol Azure

A new Executive Director started today and nobody thought about ordering his equipment until last Friday. The only way I found out about this was an offhanded comment by a staff member at another site. However, this is just par for the course with how we work, so it's no big deal. I just wish the hiring committee would give me a week or two of notice before people start. I doubt the guy even has furniture in his office yet.

When did Glassdoor try and become LinkedIn? I only used it to see who was saying bitchy things about their job and now it wants me to sign up and post things for discussion or whatever. Did venture capital get involved?

Venture capital was what was funding the "say bitchy things about your job" side of the business. They were acquired by a public company about 5 years ago and are now required to actually make money somehow.

If they work for your customer, their job is to make it as hard as possible for you to get paid. If they work for you, their job is to cover your rear end and stop the customer from getting away with moving goalposts and dragging projects on forever. GreenNight posted:My experience is that the recruiters are the first to go. Don't need em if you're laying people off. But yeah. I'm talking about from a project, not from a company. We (i am a moron and me) are both consultants so customer finances only matter if they affect our projects.
