Judge Schnoopy posted:You absolutely know this is the case. "I'm saving this company single handedly! I'm so important! It's worth the daily stress every morning when I'm panicking over breakfast because this business and everybody else depends on me!" My friend two days ago passed away from Leukemia, and it put things into perspective for me. Life is too short for this kind of bullshit, and my skills allow me to work from basically anywhere. Life is too short to work more than 40 hours a week for a company. I am never doing it again. My family and friends are more important than my career.

My dude, I know you are a single parent, but you need to move. Your location is toxic and has no job prospects. I had to to this 3 years ago and it changed my life for the better.

Judge Schnoopy posted:How many kids have you guys moved away from, personally? How about we think about that before telling this guy to ditch the strongest connection to another human being you can have. I had 2 stepchildren at the time, and now I also have a foster daughter. I had to move my wife, my children, and my dog 1,800 miles away from my immediate family to make a better life for ourselves. It was an incredibly hard decision for me to make, but in the end, it worked out. It was either that or go insane, and for my children's sake, I would rather not go insane.

I naturally wake up around 4:30, so I come into work around 5 when nobody is here. I leave by 1.

Jaded Burnout posted:Don't let the capitalist man pit you against your brothers. Say not "why does ratbert ninety get to leave so early", say instead, "why do I come here at all" I would say 50% of the time I work from home. Although this next month I will be onboarding a new guy, so I have to be in the office every day.  However; the office is only 7 miles away so that's good.

Avenging_Mikon posted:I like your job. Can I have it when you get promoted? lmbo no you don't. The hours are great sure, but the interoffice politics and management are complete and utter garbage. Life got 100% better for me once I started treating them like a 1099 client.

Some of you all care way way way too much about your jobs. Pro-Tip: Stop giving a poo poo and just do what you can and leave at 8 hours.

Judge Schnoopy posted:Pro-er tip: put in the amount of work that makes you happy. If that's working your rear end off for 5 hours and loving off the rest of the day, do that. If it's working slow and steady 12 hours a day and not getting stressed, do that. Very true.

tactlessbastard posted:My Angry Boss flipped his lid over something trivial early this morning and took it out on the next person he saw (me) and was professionally insulting in front of a subordinate. There's a whole list of little extra things I do outside my literal job description that just evaporated. I learned a few months ago that if there's no incentive for me to do anything extra, then why bother doing anything extra ever?

Judge Schnoopy posted:Oh god I'm still trying to block out having to interview for my replacement at my last job. Most of the interviews ended with guilt towards my boss about leaving. Keep your head down, learn, make mistakes and fix them. Engineering is about failing twice for every success. Aptitude is far more important than having the smarts RIGHT NOW!

nexxai posted:Question time: I'm writing a script to automate the mounting and spot checking our full-system backups and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a file that I can check that would change pretty frequently? I don't think something like this exists and so we might need to manually add something to our backup jobs to create some kind of text file with a timestamp in it that I can check for staleness (e.g. if the timestamp is older than one day, we know that the backup isn't grabbing the latest version of the file and so we should investigate), but if something like this already exists, I'd love to know about it. If it's on linux, couldn't you just stat ${file} |grep Change ?

Dirt Road Junglist posted:My first IT job was installing Windows 3.11 on every computer in my dad's classrooms. He handed me a stack of floppies that seemed like it was a foot tall, and said, "Put disk 1 in the first computer and follow the directions. When it's done, take it out, and move it to the next computer. The put disk 2 in. Do that all the way down the line." The line being 30 computers per classroom, across two rooms. Hell, that's cocaine to anybody. Sugar + water is incredibly addictive.

Bigass Moth posted:There is something positive about being in person with your team. I'm not sure I need it 40 hours a week, but it's less isolated than full time work from home. Nah. With the advent of the internet you can collaborate with team members from home!

AlexDeGruven posted:It's so good. I'm 3 days/week remote right now because I-75 is an unmitigated loving disaster, and I love it. My team lead doesn't know I'm going to lobby for 1 or 2 days/month in the office soon, instead of the other way around when construction wraps for the season. At first my boss wanted me to come in 4 days a week after I moved to SoCal. I would have to take the I-10 into work. I now WFH 4 days a week when I told him absolutely not.
