tater_salad posted:in an old job I had to very heavily protect a workbook that I didn't own (someoen elses process but in same office) because the worker would continue to delete / type in calculated cells. It was real easy it was a gas surcharge calculator based on miles driven per vehicle. Person running it would continually type in the auto calc fields or whatever and then gently caress the workbook up. after the 3rd time I basically told the person I was going to protect them from themselves. A couple of jobs back I got my one and only writeup / official warning ever because if this poo poo. There was a manual process that took between 45 minutes and an hour that we had to do every day that was essentially copying data between spreadsheets, so I decided to automate it. Spent ages getting it right, wrote up the doco, tested it out and everything was fine till one dude decided that the old way was better. He deleted all my automation, and went back to the old method. First time it happened I have him the benefit of the doubt and just restored the automation. Second time it happened I restored the automation and asked him wtf and he gave me some bs answer. Third time it happened, I restored the automation, locked it off, and wrote up in the documentation "good looking and smart people can use the new version, the old version is stored here for Simon to use" which was apparently not the right thing to do, but I stand by my decision.

Mr.Sloth posted:My workplace just implemented a "sensitivity" labeling system for every single email, word, excel etc. file created. So now I have to decide if my email about Taco Tuesday is Public, Internal, Confidential or Restricted. I was tasked with implementing this function for a previous job, which I noped out of very quickly, because thats not what a data analyst is supposed to be doing. They can implement a default setting, they can implement it folder by folder as well, so if you save a document into a onedrive location, it automatically has a sensitivity label applied. Pretty sure they can do defaults for emails as well. The point of it for us was to try to get a grip on private information leaving the org. There had been a spate of people working for the org, getting their hands on all the documentation and training, then leaving and starting their own consultancy with all the information. It can be set up to be fairly friction free for most employees, its just that their implementation of it seem halfassed and not in consideration of the end user.

Domus posted:I got my review today. The boss proudly told me that the range for the department was 0-3 percent, but I was so good they’re going to give me 4. You stupid fucks, you pay me $16/hr. No paperwork gets done without me. I’m the only person in this place who can take a unit all the way from coming in with the driver, checking it in, fixing it, QAing it, billing it, and sending it out the door. I built a customized arduino device to speed up data entry. I know at least one customer has written the big boss saying I was an asset to the company. You literally had my only possible replacement quit without notice two weeks ago. And I’m supposed to be excited that I get a 64 cent an hour raise?! I like this place, I like my coworkers, but you’re giving me at least a dollar fifty or I am walking the hell out that door. Jesus, how out of touch with reality are you? I love this about %age based raises. 5% to someone on 100k is not the same as 5% to someone on minimum wage. Spell it out in actual dollars and cents to them and see how they react

Escape From Noise posted:Yeah. I'm not saying I'm shocked, just more it's weirdly consistent among the Aussies I've met here at a much higher rate than Kiwis, Americans, Canadians, etc Yeah, we have had a steady diet of racist bullshit for quite a while now. Back in the early 2000s, right wing politicians figured out that demonising refugees was an easy way to boost poll numbers, so they leaned heavily into that, which leads to situations like the continent of Australia being excised from the Australian Migration Zone. The (nominally) center-left party saw how successful this was and leaned in as well, which left our Greens party as the only group saying "Hey, maybe we shouldn't torture people who are asking us for help". This steady diet of hate of others means that chuds are fairly easily swayed by people like Trump. And Australia is full of chuds who havent been told to shut the gently caress up, so they are loud about their hosed up views.

You don't have to sit there waiting for the whole.message to come through. The real pro move is to wait a few moments and then ask how they are. You might be able to get them to delete their whole message and then they have to re-type it, wasting minutes on both ends of the conversation

My company is migrating from AX2009 to D365. The vendor / consultants who kicked off the process very confidently said "Nah, we dont need test data, it will be fine". We built the data warehouse using our best guess, but surprise surprise, without any test data, there is gaps and incorrect logic. I had to develop all the reports to use the two different data sources in the one report and was given a total of 1 week with some test data before they started the internal validation checks. Weirdly enough, that wasnt enough time to spot every error and then fix them all. This week has sucked hairy anus and was so very easily avoidable by just insisting on some drat test data.

I make reports. If I work on a report, I need to update the completion rate % of the report in 4 different locations. DevOps, an internal team excel spreadsheet, an external team excel spreadsheet and an online spreadsheet. There is also a BI report that I made that looks at the internal spreadsheet and turns it into pretty charts that track completion rates. My boss also has daily standups with the team, where he updates his own spreadsheet with the same info.
