Pollyanna posted:hahaha what the gently caress They (were?) required to have a certain number of employees with certifications to maintain their Microsoft partner status. Microsoft partner status means that people who reach out to Microsoft and say they want work done with their products will be directed to your piddly bullshit contracting shop. Microsoft might sometimes pair one of their employees with the project but their main job is to recommend more expensive microsoft products Its not a bad business model except for the fact they want you to study after hours and the exam material is insanely boring

best thing about my job is my boss is 100 percent supportive of any technical education. im basically a machinist with a degree but he will let me do computer programming and math problems on the clock if someone ever screws up ans puts me in a position of power ill make sure to pay it forward

best thing about my job is that at times when I don’t feel like working I find something that interests me and gently caress around for a few hours. I do not keep my boss appraised of my activities. If I find something I like I follow that to a new job.
