Had to push on friday, no choice. Company policy. We can't touch poo poo except on friday. Presumably so that when this happens, it only affects customers who are working on the weekend, which is a much lower number of customers? A reasonable idea if it weren't for the severe lack of ability to fix poo poo after everyone goes the gently caress home early on friday

Jesus. That's an insane policy. I can't imagine not being able to roll back or deploy multiple times on any given.

:shrug: it's a huge company. It's not actually all that stupid to decide to massively inconvenience your own employees to make sure your customers are less likely to be inconvenienced.

In practice it means anything that isn't a P1 superfuck issue actually doesn't get fixed until monday, though, which is a case of company policy conflicting with company culture.

We often push stuff on the weekends or at midnight... we also have a large off hours support team to handle that workload.

I'm now being advised to roll back... because lol the rollout of the system that required us to go to redirects is also hitting a blocking bug so our old content location hasn't even been clobbered yet.

when my engineer gets home we're rolling our own poo poo back and going back to being in limbo.

Not really. All my vacation hours get paid out, and I keep my health insurance for a bit. I have a decent resume and a masters degree, and was somewhat expecting it given how the company had been performing. So I'm not too worried about future prospects. Still stings though.

You may joke about the amiibos, but when I ordered those NFC tags and realized it takes forever to get them from China and thought that a business I could start would be a distributor of Chinese goods in the state. But I only know of 1 product...

I know a few people who make some healthy cash basically buying off alibaba and reselling on ebay/amazon. If you can find the right niches, you can make steady if uninspiring cash.

Just stay away from electronics since that seems to attract 98% of the scammers.

It sounds like you will jump back onto your feet shortly, I'm pulling for ya my friend. I guess for now, at least try to enjoy the time off?

I'm just giving you poo poo about the amiibo's, if I wasn't such a lazy rear end I would probably be doing the same because I want BoTW stuff. ALL the stuffs!

10,363 snaps and not a playoff win to show for it
Software fuckup causes confusion in ordering of change orders ( I work in the money business for those that don't know) so I am to hold back one the orders because it might be wrong and send it back to my cash vault that is 100 miles away instead of delivering it to the customer. I get told it was not an incorrect change order and the customer is calling desperately because the local university is graduating this weekend and they NEED it. I send it up to them when it gets back to me after it goes on a 200 mile ride and the customer refuses it.




gently caress them.

Sucks, dude. I was laid off back in January but bounced back. poo poo will work out, but I feel what you're feeling today.

And my current company's sales team took a big ole poo poo last month and missed signings by 80%, so I'm enjoying the month long death march dev gets to undertake in May to get projects out faster so we can be done with them and start on more profitable ones next month.

Someone in India implemented a workaround that makes my redirects work (although the base issue is still there). Sweet hack! I'm sure the base bug will be fixed in no time and not pushed to a back burner for two more months. Definitely.
