Just a thought into the ether... don't shoot down a teammate's idea to fix/improve something right off the bat. Worst case scenario, let them make a card or whatever your team "to-do" list looks like and let them run with it. It's fine to give context or say whatever, but I imagine a lot of us have the power to just stop something in its tracks and it's too easy to be jaded to the point where you don't realize you're doing it when it's not something that needs to be done.

Sometimes at quarterly presentations we have a break down of what IT/dev work was done and it's just a bar graph with 50 sections, then followed by slides that are just project names that no one knows what the gently caress they refer to so you just get a few minutes of people going "huh??" it's all very exciting stuff that no one cares about anyway

Apparently there's a meme going around with "this meeting could have been a fist fight" and honestly I'm here for it. At least a decision would be made.

I’m against do nothing corpo speak but also not really pro-fighting in the workplace At one point I worked at a consultancy company where 2 colleagues got into a physical altercation that got out of hand at a clients office because of a joke. One guy went to his car and grabbed a machete out of the trunk. The clients security team stopped the guy from reentering the building. Machete guy got fired. The joker got a warning. We didn’t lose the client

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at the Senior Admin and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another Sys Admin, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a project management freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Agile to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Stand Up, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Agile KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Senior Admin, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Stand Up. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Stand Up. See Senior, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Stand Up.

tehinternet posted:How is that not an automatic termination? Christ. I’m against do nothing corpo speak but also not really pro-fighting in the workplace Cutting a promo doesn't generally mean fighting. A promo is the sort of self-aggrandizing rant a wrestler goes on to help build up an upcoming match or his own profile. A better fan could probably describe that better. Back in the late 90s, I would occasionally try to imitate the Rock's promo style and threaten to shove a Sun v480 sideways up someone's candy rear end, but always in the context of two IT people griping about one or more people who were not present. You wouldn't have mistaken it for a threat, even if it was anatomically possible for any human being's rear end to fit a v480.

I get through "You know they say that all men are created equal" and the voice in my head automatically switches to Scott Steiner. Also, I got a 34" ultrawide monitor with a built in KVM and it owns so much! I don't know why I went so long without getting one of these. It makes laptop setup and troubleshooting so much easier.

I don't know how I'm ever suppose to go to monitor that isn't a 32"+ monstrosity. They're so cheap same with desks and my $120 adjustable non-brand Amazon desk simply works. I remember buying my first 17" NEC LCD back in 2004 for a couple hundred dollars and it was insane finally leaving CRT land. Now we're doing 4k with HDR, Refresh Rate Sync, High Refresh!
