Exactly. All the RTO reasons they give are such bullshit. I'd have way more respect if they came out and said "Look, we've got Billions of dollars of exposure to commercial real estate, and we're getting millions a year in tax breaks from the city and county. We have to have people in the office".

Zoom's future seems to be bumping up prices to make up for more and more companies realising that they can probably get by with Teams as they look for anywhere to save some cash, and then folding into Cisco

If people were actually honest at work then the C-Suite would have their heads mounted to pikes in the parking lot.

After 9 months of rejection after rejection in job hunting, I got my offer letter yesterday and signed today. I finally get to start working in SOC as an Analyst, starting salary of 69k, benefits, fully remote. My birthday is tomorrow I'm not sure I could have asked for better timing. Thank you so much to the goons that helped me out, I will be forever grateful that y'all helped in getting my foot in the door, and I look forward to working with you.

I’ve dealt with my share of them and not a single one was a net positive.

New coworker straight up said “nah I’m good with wfh” when management said there was a mandatory on site day this week. Job was listed as 1 day per week on site and they already came to the office this week so that’s that. Welcome to the new age.  Millennials are going to give boomers heart attacks on a daily basis and I’m loving every second of it.

The only reason I RTO for the requested 2 days per week is to use the gym in the building. I show up after rush hour (around 09:30), talk to people, have coffee, have lunch, work out, then go home between 15:00-15:30 and boot my laptop back up from my couch. Would I still rather stay at home those two days? Unquestionably. At least it doesn't feel like I've completely wasted the day this way.

After most of a year of unemployment, I finally landed something. Orientation is remote and then I get to drive onto a military base after orientation is done. Jobs pay rate is poo poo and I'm back doing helldesk, but they put me in for clearance and I figure I can hang around for a year or so until that completes, then either go for a promotion or try for something through clearancejobs.

Justin Credible posted:I am almost positive I squeaked by on a pass using this very thing when I took mine earlier this year. I took the AWS Solutions Architect Professional test, a couple years ago. It was easily the hardest test I've ever taken, not because of the subject matter, but because of the sheer size of each question and answer. Just to read them all took the majority of the test time, not even attempting to answer them. I barely finished it in time, with a comical asterisk. A lot of the quests were flat out wrong, either due to typos, not having an answer that I believed was correct, or that were referring to obsolete data about AWS. Every question has a "comment on this question" option. and I comment on every single question that I had a problem with. I passed with like a 95%. I'm certain that I did not get 95% right, I believe that if you complain about a question, something happens and they may not grade it.

Super-NintendoUser posted:Awesome! I took that a couple years ago. Pro-tip, if you find a question you can't figure out the answer, make a note of the number and a couple keywords. A lot of questions overlap and the question for another one may give you the answer. Thanks for the tip! I'm definitely seeing some overlap on the practice tests I'm taking too, along with the whole process of elimination thing. Most questions seem to have two right answers on first pass but the keywords and requirements tend to point you to a certain right answer.

I know that they say a portion of the questions aren't weighted at all, but I don't recall seeing the option to comment on something on the one I took. I hope they're a little better done when I (hopefully) go for the pro in a couple years, if I can get my company to let me transition from support desk for SaaS stuff into their backend which is all on AWS.
