sfwarlock posted:Update to the update. I misheard, the keyboard was found ON the urinal, not IN it. A brave volunteer, using two layers of gloves, reports it is still functioning. Security camera footage is being pulled and HR is involved. People are going to get a come-to-Jesus meeting or two... I see they realized that not fixing this immediately was the wrong move

Back when I was doing desktop deployments, it did always bug me that new folks got new awesome gear while folks who have been there for ages had old gear, but gently caress, if your gear isn't good enough go to your boss and have them request new gear from IT.

sfwarlock posted:Update: the big monitor and the trackball have not been found. The side monitors were "reallocated" by management who thought it unfair the new guy got fancy gear while they didn't, and basically were powertripping, and the keyboard was found in the urinal in the nearest men's room. Steal your managers' poo poo since clearly that's okay

Got dragged into a call while I was cooking dinner a little after 5. Being end of month and all, nobody being able to log into the accounting invoice software is kind of a big deal. Turns out one of my infosec teammates was loving around in zscaler internet access and decided to block every IE version below 11, without any thought, change request, anything. Guess what this accounting software uses still, somehow? There’s a god drat IE6 user agent string in the log events for the denies.

The Mattybee posted:Steal your managers' poo poo since clearly that's okay Oh, we (IT) all have the $160 Sceptre monitors that are not color accurate, not HDR, 70hz, and tend to flicker like an dying florescent after a few months. Cause IT doesn't need the good gear, obviously. Fil5000 posted:I'm assuming they just swapped it for their own in office equipment so it's just moving poo poo around which is lovely but not actually a crime. I mean, they're moving/using stuff that's not theirs without permission. That counts as twocking in my book. Thanks Ants posted:I keep coming back to putting a keyboard in the toilets, what sort of dickhead behaviour is that My theory is that whoever lifted it went to the bathroom carrying it, put it on top of the urinal, did the thing, went to wash (God I hope), and forgot it was up there.

They never said what they expected us to do if the light started flashing. Panic, obviously.

I dunno, I view it as a bit more like moving stuff around the shelves/freezers in a supermarket. It's a dick move, it makes someone's life more difficult and it might result in stuff getting damaged but unless you try to take the stuff out of the building without paying it's not theft. I am glad that the dickheads responsible are going to get SOME sort of comeuppance, although I assume that the power tripping managers will receive no consequences Xerol posted:Panic, obviously. Should have rerigged the button to a sign in the lobby that says "please do not press this button again".

Several years ago I returned from a week long holiday to discover that the ergonomic mouse I had brought from home had been replaced with a generic Dell number that was encrusted with orange filth and didn't register left clicks. Apparently someone's mouse broke and rather than go through the proper channels when I wasn't here to replace it just took mine instead.

Generally my office is good at not touching people's poo poo. But one day not that long ago I got back from vacation to find my headset was moved to another desk. Like, come on, of all things, that's gross. I wrapped it up with all the wires for my personal keyboard and mouse so it had to be 100% intentional since there was no mistaking that the owner of the headset was the same owner of the other stuff. I started bringing it home and just leaving the headset in my car.

For the next month, my custom backgrounds were of ever more increasingly ridiculously ornate beds.

I have FaceRig, and when we were doing the camera-on thing I would throw the scary clown face on it for fun. I would switch to the red panda for meetings, though.

I would get the same amount of work done at home as I do in the office which right now is none, because they don’t give me anything to do.

Other than the occasional ticket/issue assist, I am pretty much left to my own devices to do whatever I want. Other than a new SSO setup, not a lot of work comes my way from other people.

It happened. I've finally become that which I hated. One of my project managers came to me looking for where she fit in the timeline for a remodel my department is overseeing. Her focus is entirely on A/V, which this particular project involves none of until 2025. Seeing as how she doesn't need to be involved since it doesn't involve her, I said it. I said it without thinking. "That's none of your concern". The urge to run a media empire on a consumer Buffalo NAS will be next. How long do I have?

The latest: the monitor has returned! It was magically under the desk this AM. I'm guessing someone figured out they couldn't suddenly be using it and also probably couldn't sneak it out. FAKEEDIT: ".... uh... does it look to anyone else like it was dropped on that corner?" Yeah. The screen is busted.

You work with children and in a better job market this sort of behaviour would definitely cause me to have a think about leaving. I'd be after blood if someone busted a brand new 43" curved display because they were trying to steal it.

They dropped it while trying to set it up and broke it. So they brought it back.

I like the metaness of the thread title in that as with all ticket subjects, it's incorrect since the keyboard was found ON the urinal. To be clear, I'm saying leave it as is, it's far better this way.
