I'd tell the idiot that you will adhere to the version of the template from when you started on the document. And if he doesn't like it, he can fire you. gently caress people like that. I refuse to play by their rules.

If he complains, ask him how any of the 77 "changes" he wants made affect the actual outcome versus putting everyone perpetually behind the 8 ball. He's the worst kind of excuse for a manager, document all his incompetence & provide it to anyone complaining about deadlines or unhappy customers.

I’ve got a smelly RCA that landed on my desk because my new partner called in our first day working together (sigh) They want me to get to the root of a currently unsolved ongoing problem Let me rephrase that. They want me to stop actively working on solving the problem to go push various forms around in a manner hoping that a solution will fall out of the aether Anyway the CEO is still coming tomorrow, the wastewater plant is still out of commission due to freeze damage last week so we can’t use any water to clean, a section of the new building is still out of commission due to a sprinkler pipe bursting due to freeze damage last week, the contracted cleaning crew pressure washing the front of the building got a cherry picker stuck axles deep in waterlogged turf and it’s still out front like a piece of modern art, and while we did finally pay maste wanagement, we’re still flagged in their system as delinquent and they still haven’t picked up the trash which is now occupying three of my building’s 4 docks. Wish me luck with that dinner lol

Same old poo poo: announce a service being deprecated over a year ago, send monthly warnings it's coming, and this month finally announce the hard shutdown date. Get a half dozen angry emails how that's too soon and no one has the ability to migrate that fast. Well then what the heck you been doing the past year you jokers?

We had one of these recently and short circuited the outrage by saying "we're turning this off because it's no longer supported" up front with no timescale and the people that would have waited til the last second started complaining immediately.

this is why I love notepad++. Even if my PC reboots overnight, my (unsaved, unnamed) notes stay in their tab when I relaunch the app. This is why I am currently on tab "new 35.txt"

Shout out to the org who made me uninstall Notepad++ because it had a "high" severity vuln that could cause it to crash that also required local access that went unpatched for like a month tops.

Or just use vscode I guess.

That notepad++ “vuln” was/is awesome, iirc it is that if someone replaces this windows component used by notepad++ with a malicious version you get an RCE. But that’s kind like saying installing Visual Studio allows arbitrary code execution… If an attacker has that much access you are already hosed

Yeah that needs massive air quotes around "vulnerability". If you can go replace arbitrary files under \Program Files\ or \Windows\ then you have already owned the system and could just as well replace kernel32.dll with whatever you want, no need to involve Notepad++. (Raymond Chen has a very long running blog series about exactly this class of non-vulnerabilities: "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway")

It's like a sub 20 people company, and as lovely as that sounds from me, not my loving problem if I get people sick, it's been known that I've been coughing, and no amount of masking is gonna protect them from this!!!

Yeah I've developed a bit of a "gently caress you guys" attitude with respect to getting people in society sick since the pandemic. Especially if they're the employer and they're literally asking for it after being warned that I'm sick and I probably shouldn't come in and they say to come in anyway.

There's a degree of logic to the CVSS system that I like, but sometimes you end up just looking at some 5.3 Medium and go "okay but... really?" Like yesterday when I was told to report a 0.0 "it responds to pings" because there was literally nothing else. nielsm posted:Yeah that needs massive air quotes around "vulnerability".

So when I relaunch I have a few panicked moments of seeing a blue "new 1" and nothing else.

I love arguing and begging for two straight years that our POS system is buggy garbage and needs to be replaced. Years of documented bugs and failures loving with our inventory management and a complete unwillingness to fix issues by the company we go through. Two to three month turnaround on support tickets and the only response they ever give is “this is a known issue and we are working on it, this ticket has been resolved”. They are not working on it. It is never resolved. Management was too cheap and too lazy to switch. Constant excuses. “It’s just not in the budget.” “We’ve tried so many systems and they’re all bad.” “The workload is just too heavy to make a big change like this right now.” They’ll do anything to not be inconvenienced. Until the state just came and gave us our annual inspection. Our poo poo software caused dozens of sales failing to report in real time to the state database and cost us almost $50k in fines. And now I’m being told it is absolutely critical that I find us a new POS and complete the switch by the end of next month. I’m thriving as I stroll through the office radiating a smug aura of I told you so.

“Well fat bossy gerbil, if you knew all this time that the POS system was insufficient, you didn’t do an effective job of notifying us of the risks. of course we would have upgraded our critical POS system if we knew. You should have done a better job of telling us.”

Fyi: There is still DialIn special identity group for windows ###### I hate dotted line hierarchies. My boss wants me to make something in powerApps. A receipt scanner. No big deal. Apparently what I need will require $20 extra a month extra I need premium access to power automate. So I can use OCR to read receipts. I need a premium power apps account to get access to SQL server. So I can push it to tableau . Because top leadership wants tableau. Only problem is I need to get approval from what I believe is 3 levels. Power Apps team to Analytics to O365 management. Additionally I have to have someone create a SQL gateway. Which involves systems and security team. I have everything I can finished. Now I have to play the waiting game. joebuddah fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Feb 1, 2024 |

Once again pulled to help with tech support, which would be fine, but a) I hate the dude who oversees tech support, as he is my old boss because b) he micromanages everything, and has the nasty habit to not plan in advance. Which includes not telling me when the only support agent we have is off, until the very moment he needs help. No, I cannot do stuff immediately, I have other things that I had planed or that I am already doing. Stop picking away at me and let me do poo poo, we are wasting time (and I do not like you)

I sure do love being given a technical spec by a PM to implement, completing the task, hearing nothing for a couple of weeks, only for the PM to want me on a call with the client to explain why it was done that way, and how exactly it meets their needs. I have no idea guys, I wasn't involved with the presales and you handed me a spec to deliver, which has been done. Figure it out yourselves, and it had better involve sales being thrown under the bus.

I was told to expect to hear back on a job I interviewed for Monday or Tuesday. I call Tuesday afternoon and the recruiter says to expect to hear something Wednesday. It is Thursday afternoon and I haven't heard anything. I'm not surprised, I'm just disappointed. E: Got an email, I didn't get it. Yay, I love job hunting. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 1, 2024 |
