Salami Surgeon posted:Open enrollment. HR resets the healthcare portal password every year. No 2FA. Now here's the real question: what happens at your company when you don't make an election? At my company they just renew whatever plan you already had... except for that one year when they changed it and if you didn't sign in and pick something you just didn't have health insurance that year. Whole lotta crying at work that winter.

Shoehead posted:This reminds me, in college we used to sneak on each other's accounts on their network and do the old replace your desktop with a screenshot trick. And I should do it before I leave Someone pulled this at my job and the person being pranked concluded that they had duplicates of everything on their desktop. So they did what anyone would do: select their "extra" files, delete them, empty their recycle bin, and then open a support ticket about the files on their desktop being "stuck". Turns out they deleted months of work because they had been keeping everything on their desktop instead of the (regularly backed up) file server where work was supposed to be kept. The person who pulled the prank ended up getting written up.

McGavin posted:Love to sit in traffic for hours each week. It really helps me relax. I spend an hour and half in traffic every day to drive to the office and... work with my team members who are in completely different offices in completely different time zones. I'm in Teams meetings all day. It's like working from home at work. spookykid posted:Do what I did, and move into one of the offices, play dumb, and just see how long it takes for someone to notice or care. Hint: they won't. I was 2 ranks lower than anyone else with an office, and I had that office for 7 years until I retired. I didn't think this was a real phenomenon until someone at my job got brave and tried it. It worked.

SkyeAuroline posted:Do you go out of your way to mock every morning person you meet every time you find out they're a morning person? Not "they're rubbing it in and making your life difficult", just the concept of a morning person existing? For a lot of people (not everyone) working from home was the first time in our adult lives we felt the boot on our neck let up. Now it's pressing back down and some big feelings are bubbling to the surface. You may just be catching some "shrapnel". Or maybe you've talked to some mean people. That's always in the cards.

I used Macs professionally for over a decade in a corporate environment. They can function in that space better than you might expect but if your help desk and software vendors don't support them then every PC headache you side-step is going to be replaced by one or more Mac compatibility headaches and everyone involved will "nope" out once they realize you're using a Mac.Combo posted:Also keep in mind none of this is part of my job title, I run the QC department.

When I got there they spent several minutes explaining that they tried everything and that it wasn’t their fault. Then I reached over and turned the monitor on.

I usually start with, “Hey, do you have time for a question?” and now I’m worried that’s too close to a drive-by “Hi”. But hitting someone with an out of the blue question in chat feels like a rude interruption.
