Internet Explorer posted:Or your SA posting history, for that matter. One of these days an SA post is going to feature into a muckraking ad for a congressman. Content: I have a new area of work, and i get to learn new and exciting things! Yay!. My mentor for this position happens to be 16 hours ahead of me, so now I can't even start a meeting with him until like, 6 PM my time. My winter just got some seriously long nights...

Filthy Lucre posted:My company mandated our profile pictures had to be actual pictures of us, which made me sad, but at least it stops that sort of thing. I think my picture in teams/whatever else it gets shared to is 7 years old at this point. I'd be happier if it piped in my facebook profile pic because then I would get the joy of explaining who hedonism bot is.

Umbreon posted:Oracle did a quick technical phone interview with me, decided I was good enough to go forward, and are now asking me to do 5 different 1 hour interviews with 5 people over 2 days. Is this... normal? 5 hours of interviews over Zoom with a guy they basically just met on a 1 hour technical interview? This is normal for faang-esque companies. I work at MS and our interview process is quite involved, always with multiple (pre-covid) onsite interviews in addition to the HR and Tech screens. I did a 5 hour marathon interview with people up to the VP when applying to Zillow once.

Matt Zerella posted:Amazon is a military contractor, as are pretty much all the large tech companies. A whole lot of them collaborate with ICE and the NSA too. This is why I like MS TBH. They draw lines on how they act ethically. Eg: They won't sell facial recognition AI to police.

luminalflux posted:Totally sold GitHub to ICE tho. There's other things too, national clouds, etc. but as a whole at least we're trying? There were a number of town halls after the award of the JEDI contract to discuss what it means to be a cog in the brown people bombing machine and there were some ethical boundaries that came from those discussions as well.

Question for the hivemind: How deep can/have you nest(ed) VMs? Yes, I realize this becomes a "Why?" question after like 2 levels, but let's ignore that and just embrace the theory chaos.

Agrikk posted:I have personally built a lab on a single box that had a VMware hypervisor on it. This hypervisor contained a VM for FreeNAS for storage plus two clustered ESX hypervisors plus a VM for VCenter server. The two ESX VMs contained linux, BSD and Windows host VMs. Ive actually got an opportunity to play around with this, and im going to do some experimenting and measure latencies at each level with various combinations of hypervisors involved (because i have nothing better to do with downtime right now). I don't think it's going to be pretty, my assumption is that due to the layering it will consume resources at a double factorial rate of growth.

skipdogg posted:They did for sure, but to be fair Microsoft has a track record of being willing to lose money for a long time to break into/take over a space. Xbox lost them money for probably drat near a decade, but they wanted to get into consoles and they kept at it. Do you think Google is going to keep Stadia around for 10 years losing money the entire time? I'm sure Microsoft lost billions when BPOS rolled out back in the day (and man it was lovely back then), but you were pretty comfortable that Microsoft wasn't going to just discontinue the service. Counterpoint: Windows phone. That was a genuinely nice platform, too.

rafikki posted:lol "Current status: We've encountered some technical difficulties while rolling back the problematic update. We're working on resolving those issues while we explore additional remediation options in parallel. We'll provide an updated ETA on resolution as soon as one is available." The directors of the firm hired to continue the credits after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.

Sprechensiesexy posted:I'm gonna slightly disagree with everyone here on never talking salary first. I have no problem with giving a desired range, if recruiters and companies want to negotiate that's fine but I also make it very clear that I don't change employers for pocket change, there should be a significant increase in compensation. To be fair, this is how to approach things *AFTER* you get to the point in your career where you're comfortable. Many many many people, even in this industry, are not paid well enough to have that buffer, and a lot end up having to settle for scraps while climbing the ladder because they don't think they have any leverage in salary negotiations.

I re-iterate. If you have a hiring policy that includes automated creation of usernames, make sure manual review happens. First and Last names collide in very strange ways indeed.

Sickening posted:I am all for being careful but this entire statement is absurd. This must be some Euro nonsense because there is zero chance this is happening in the US. If you are 100% remote AND you are getting your work done, who could give a flying gently caress? Oldquoting this because i'm a few pages behind, but if I had employees and one of them took a random risk with company IP by going to a different country with different data sovereignty laws I'd be pretty pissed.

Wrath of Kahn was a key movie in my childhood. Fair. Also if we're going to be going outside the normal of trek vs trek and trek vs wars, Babylon 5 > DS9

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:he is like 10k below the new median salary for his range which puts him below the bottom of his range. But we also can't get raises of more than 10% so he's still below the bottom of his range even after a pay bump. Manager: "Our people are woefully underpaid and will jump ship, what can we do?" HR/Execs: "Well, we have an arbirtrary-rear end policy about how much of a raise we can give people in a single year, so let's just keep that around and continue to woefully underpay them" Manager: "Won't they still jump ship? Leaving us with needing to backfill a place at great cost of training just to add someone at that higher salary anyway? Also you won't bother approving posting the position until several months down the road which means we're going to be grossly overburdening our existing staff because you'll drag on the hiring process for another several months" HR/Execs: "...We will reallocate 2% of the budgeted salary for the position to pizza parties to keep them happy. Oh, it's IT? Well the pizza will go to sales, but IT can scavenge what's left afterwards."

sixth and maimed posted:My previous employer liked to remind us that they were paying us enough according to their HR software/partner. Then 2 of the 3 people in the group level IT team resigned for better pay and benefits; the third one was a helpdesk person being trained as sysadmin for the group level. They then waited so long posting the positions there was no hand-over to the new people they eventually hired. Management would rather shoot itself in the foot and incur massive costs and downtime than let workers think they're allowed to ask for raises. Reminder: company policies banning discussion of wages are illegal under NLRB rules preventing companies from blocking worker organization. Doesn't mean they still won't fire you for it, but at least they can't deny unemployment if they do. Since these policies are typically in handbooks or other written materials like emails or notices, it's really, really easy to prove.
