What scares me about Active Directory, is that at enterprise-scale it's perpetually at an early beta stage, MS simply can't spin up a lab environment with 100,000 endpoints and thousands of servers to run regression testing.

AD does weird stuff sometimes and we just have to roll with it.

Thanks for the advice, but this is a nonprofit and all paid is determined by years of experience.


this is almost always a lie by the way. even if the "pay per YOE" is set in stone (which it is not, nothing is set in stone), you can certainly selectively manipulate your years of experience!

20/hr was eight years ago in Ohio, 32 actually seems pretty good but idk if that will go farther in your godless heathen left coast den of sin

Edit: 60-70k would’ve been director level there. They also ran half ways houses (some of which were designed to protect former sex workers from their traffickers) and did lots of really intense voc rehab with devastatingly underserved populations. Not sure if that’s like… not profitable non profit stuff. It’s honestly a joke they don’t all get paid more than me, they did more for more communities that need it than anywhere I’ve ever worked or ever will. lol America

My last job was working overnight at a homeless shelter for minimum wage. I had to deal with so much poo poo (literally and figuratively) with a boss that actively hated her residents and basically treated me as a combo security guard, therapist, and janitor. it's hilarious how bad the nonprofit sector is if you actually do helpful things rather than be a CEO or computer toucher.

Keep in mind Seattle's minimum wage is $18.69* and I have a very cheap lifestyle without a car, kids, or pets so I've been building my nest egg to eventually pay off student loans and get a car.


* this means you can afford to live in an apartment the size of a shoebox, a slumlord basement, or you have to commute an hour away at least to afford anything nice.

This was all of their front line people basically. Lots of awesome folks who wanted to good and got roped into a pretty grimy setup especially when you listened to how the HQ folks talked about it. Honestly can’t believe they even have a pool to draw from anymore but somehow they keep finding people.

a - they didnt understand corporate video at all

I am zero percent surprised they axed the jamboard, and am kinda surprised that G suite is still such a closed off environment. Only the Bay Area is cool with using PCs for video conferencing.

If you pay money to Google for something your business relies on then you are a sucker. Their product development process frequently involves straight up forgetting that stuff exists for years at a time, and the support is genuinely awful.

Lol, we had a couple of those big-rear end free standing Jamboards. I never saw one in use except at a tech faire. On the other hand we do have every conference room set up with large displays, good cameras and audio, and wired into a Google Meet touchscreen. That works great.

The latest downside to conferencing is that the Product people have fallen in love with LucidSpark. That's great when the presenter has organized her presentation properly, and then panned down so we could add stickies with feedback and questions. It sucks when a whole quarterly Program Increment plan is loosely arranged on a chart spark(?) and you have to keep zooming and panning to find anything.

The new LucidSpark plugin for Meet is really nice though, you can interact with the chart in the actual Meet window.

We bought five of those free standing jam boards back in 2018. You can technically still use them after the eol for jamboards, but I'm hoping i can convince my office to let me have a 55 inch touch screen display for a laptop in my living room.

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.
