EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:I'm tired of places that don't say what the salary range for a position is (and finding out later it pays half what I currently make), so I just ask them when doing the interview-planning exchange now. But then they can't lowball you. How is an employer supposed to make ends meet if they can't take advantage of people that don't know how much they should be making?

Just got the hardware in for a project and my head technician informed me we're missing the hardware to store the database on. I go back to the quote and... it's not on there. Now, I KNOW my boss gave me the BoM for this job because this was quoted before I knew enough about the system to do it myself, but I can't find an email about it and I know he's going to deny it up and down. It's 10AM, and I need a drink.

It's more cringe than STPYO, but whatever. I was on an interview today with 4 other interviewers. The candidate said a lot of disqualifying poo poo, but by far my favorite was this exchange:  Any of you ever been to Mexico? ...yes? Then you understand the importance of good sanitation services. Honestly, I can't believe the interview went on for another 45 minutes after that. Bonus exchange: How would you go about researching a new technology? Well, first I'd search around the intranet, you know, look for any internal documents that mention it, look through Jira tickets that reference it, that kind of thing. uhhh... Okay? Then I'd see if I could find the servers it's hosted on and try to log into them. wait, what? never know what you might be able to get into if you snoop around enough, you know? At this other place I worked at, I found all KINDS of stuff. Financial records, you name it. I found what they were paying all their contractors and consultants, budget plans, tons of stuff.

Folks from other countries can’t necessarily just gently caress off when they please Even in the US, I know there are employers that make you sign "reciprocal" agreements preventing one party from severing from the other without x weeks notice. Banks tend to do this.

It was one of the shittiest work environments I’d ever seen - getting consensus on SOWs and poo poo only to have this psycho reject them cause the font was the wrong color was pure insanity and his employees had to live it every day.

Ask me about flying coach to Singapore. And South Africa. And the time I slept in the Las Vegas airport because my room was booked for the same day I landed but I landed at 12:15 AM. And the other time I slept in the Zurich airport because I had a 16 hour layover. On the way to South Africa. Coach.

My customer has no idea how to use teams and I have precisely a bajillion chat things open at any given time. "Was this message I need to find in the channel with x, y and z, the channel with x and y, the channel with x and z or the channel with just x?" is a literal daily question I ask. It's so bad. Edit: they also made it so I can't use the Teams app or get email on my phone without installing some garbage that gives their IT department root and their byo documentation says I have no expectation of privacy so lol guess you just can't reach me ever unless you call.

When your boss puts a 1-1 in your calendar for Monday morning and your credentials stop working at midnight for some goddamn reason and you know logically there's no way you're being let go because everything is otherwise going great and that would be a completely insane thing to assume from those two pieces of information, but your brain can't help but obsess over it and now it's 3 AM and you can't loving sleep. Hypothetically.

Internet Explorer posted:God drat, that's loving awful. This morning my credentials were working on my phone but not my PC or my laptop. Guess something bad happened because the helpdesk guy said I'm the third person complaining about credential issues today. Logins would work when using cached credentials in firefox/chorme, but not if you entered the same exact ones in manually.  My account was locked on the backend (probably as a result of entering the "wrong" password too many times) but he was able to reset me directly in AD.Edit: Yes, I checked, the org chart was updated Saturday and I'm still on it.
