Well the minus is if you leave the company the company can, and just might, remotely factory reset and lock your phone.

I'm 99% sure that it you cannot factory reset via a work profile with mdm. At least for normal Android, I don't know what Sarnsung does.

Wife's company is rolling out an ESPP, on a biannual schedule. Listening in to this HR guy try to run a (re)explainer because the first batch is about to hit, 6 months after initial election.

He hasn't muted anyone. There are a ton of people just yelling out misinformation along with the dumbest questions I have ever heard. I do not know how these people are loving functional in their daily lives. I'm laughing tho, 'cus I bet the person who was all "CAN I ASK A QUESTION CAN I ASK A QUESTION WHY DO I NOT SEE ANY MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT YET??" (because there is still another 4 weeks, he has said that multiple times!), is probably pulling down 300K+.

The plan was always "get the shares at 15% off the lower of the beginning/ending price", and people are swearing "THE PLAN CHANGED, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OFF THE LOWEST PRICE AT ANY POINT!" There is no way I could ever run one of these. Within 5 minutes I would be screaming "what is your name, who is your manager, how the hell do you work here????"

This applies to the phone, not the profile. Also, you probably can't remove the work profile (depending on how the admin sets up g suite MDM) on your own without factory resetting your phone.

Due to a very poorly worded and hastily approved IT policy everyone in my company is going through this right now. At the moment most of us have simply deleted our work account(s) off of our phones.

You're certain it actually wipes the phone, not just the work profile? I'm aware that having a Fully Managed Device that also happens to have a work profile will let you do it, but that's not what I'm talking about (and lol if you're accepting that)

If you accept the cert/MDM when adding the account or when MDM is applied to the account then yes, we are being told that it controls the device, period. If you do not accept the cert the default is to not allow the device to access the account.

It's surprising to me too, considering the implication of the entire concept of "profiles" is to keep things siloed off. But apparently this needs to be OS level access for compliance reasons (forcing software/security updates, etc).

Sundae you'll appreciate this: a friend works for [mega chemicals conglomerate] and said he's having an argument with a team who want to prioritise their product run of hundreds of thousands, which would compromise a pre-existing planned run of hundreds of millions.

My company will routinely give up several 100k worth of line time to gently caress around with samples they'll then give away.

And then make the crews work all weekend to make up the lost production.

I don't feel like I'm cut out for the corporate world. I'm incredibly gullible and naive and this has burned me on more than one occasion. I don't do well with office politics at all and can't poker face to save my life. I've received advice from multiple coworkers to not share and keep things close to my chest, the recurring theme has been "you're too much of an open book and people will take advantage of that". Coupled with my anxiety of being in the 'spotlight' / presenting, I think I'll just be held back and not advance up the corporate ladder. I'm currently an engineer but I'm thinking of trying to side shuffle into something programming related? My ex was a Computer Science major and her office was awesome, the people seemed great and the environment and freedom seemed lovely (WFH, employee break rooms with fun activities, regular office activities after working hours). My place seems stuck in the 1970s and is just a depressing cubicle hellhole.

The only aspect of my current job that I thoroughly enjoy is the nice interactions I have with coworkers, especially when we're working on a project and coming up with a solution as a team. I absolutely love that. However, there are a lot of people that are quite negative and don't like my 'new hire energy' and I'm tired of navigating all their nasty crap. It's taken a huge toll on my mental health. Even though management supports and likes me, I'm more often than not daydreaming of leaving or going somewhere else. But even the thought of changing company but keeping the same role doesn't entice me.

So, to anyone in the computer science field, would you recommend the side shuffle? Not to generalize, but most of the people at my ex's office seemed harmless and super nerdy, and I remember the CS students at uni were the same. I feel like I'd be a lot happier in that nerdy kind of environment. But maybe I'm just having grass-is-greener syndrome. I'm just tired of the existential dread and having the constant adrenaline dumps going into the office (mainly from having to give presentations). I'm on about £6500 a month but I'm a shut-in who loves staying at home so I'm really not actively using the money (so the thought of a pay cut doesn't frighten me).

Most of this is company dependent, not entirely profession dependent. Comp sci folks end up in big depressing cubicle warrens too, and also have to deal with office politics. Not many end up in the happy "yay everything is free and we can relax in a beanbag chair in the sun while chatting with each other about the best mimosa place in town", googleplex or wherever.

I don't know your field, but there are lots of corporate jobs where you don't have to give presentations. And while there are a lot of threads on SA about the tech field, trying to get into it for the people rather than because you know you can handle and enjoy the work seems ill-advised.

I agree things are very company dependent but I'd also say software companies have a lot more people like you so the field is more conducive to people who are looking to do their job and help people when needed and not handle the politcs as much.

That stuff does help a lot though and you'll absolutely see people rise because of their political skill, but IN GENERAL, I'd say software companies are more easy going.

Your first job may not be at one of those places though.

This is what the lazy seniors love telling the new hires, it's an ingenious way of pawning off their own work and responsibilities to us under the guise of 'learning'. When we do go and ask them for help or guidance, they tell us to search for the answer ourselves because "our department doesn't encourage spoonfeeding".

Yeah having a good degree of self direction is surprisingly rare. It’s my main sticking point with coworkers and whether or not I’ll get along with them well or be on the verge of exasperation with them constantly. Always the main thing I try to find out if I am asked to interview people.

If anyone asks me how to do basic stuff (in standard stuff like Linux for example) that is easily googleable I will lose all respect for them. The same question has been asked online by millions.

Seriously. I've got a tendency to need to rubber duck things, but sometimes I really am asking for help with something. Maybe I'm just having a brain fart, whatever, but since I'm not asking about every single thing it's fine.

Similarly, I've had good coworkers and bad coworkers, and good coworkers still ask dumb questions sometimes. Given how many times I need to learn and relearn some Linux tool that I use for 5 minutes every month, it's not so much to just ask "hey can you look at this command and tell me what I seem to be missing here?" or "is there something that already exists that will just magic this entire script?"
