Personal Lucubrant posted:Could we maybe import the old posts into this new thread or something? Some of us still read posts in the old thread and I think this would make it easier to find them all in one place. Now I wanna make a powershell script that takes every single post and makes it into an email. Ten thousand terrible subject-less emails in an inbox. Edit: Or every single post is put in the subject line, and overflows into the body once it hits the character limit.

My Gripe is that the Brother business/workgroup class color printers are 100% out of loving stock everywhere. I don't even care that they're like $700, just please sell me one.

A Frosty Witch posted:I loving hope not but I don't even know how to begin bringing this up. But it's still a good coach-able moment! "Hey buddy, got a second? We all saw what was on your desktop, and I'm not a snitch but who knows what could happen? So my advice is if anyone asks you in your next job interview why you no longer work here, just say "It was a bad cultural fit" and refuse to elaborate. Also maybe keep whatever you use to rustle your jimmies on a personal machine you don't use for work next time?"

kensei posted:I really do not want furries referenced in the title of a thread I made but go wild y'all We can be circumspect about how many opposable thumbs those dogs making GBS threads and loving have, though I'm unsure if that would make the resulting mental image better or worse? Best be polite about it, like seeing dick pics on your buddy's phone when he's scrolling through his gallery showing you stuff. Maybe it's his dick, maybe it's dick he's getting. Either way, pretend it didn't happen and/or give him endless poo poo over it. Depends on the nature of your friendship, I guess?

There's something magical about moving a game from local disk to the NAS at 400 MB/sec.

i am a moron posted:I mean you have to acknowledge somewhere, somehow that you’re being employed by a new company. When my last place sold our division the people that didn’t agree to move over just stopped being employed by anyone. There isn’t a mechanism in the US to do this totally against someone’s will That depends entirely on the structure of the acquisition. It's entirely possible for your boss and entire management structure to be replaced without directly changing the entity who signs your paycheck and who you have an employment contract with. Nobody likes to do that because it's messy as hell, but it is doable. Depending on the state "gently caress you, I'm not signing that" would be a layoff, not quitting, because the business unit dissolved with the acquisition. Most employment lawyers will answer some questions for free, and everyone deserves a severance package. That's probably why HR wanted a resignation, because the resignation affirms the change in employment, then instantly ends it, preventing the "it's not a layoff, it's a merger" loophole they closed after the games they played in the 90s.

Darchangel posted:Lol, “employment contract” in the US of A. At least for anything les than Veep. Just because the contract says they can fire you for any reason or no reason doesn't make it less contractual. They can tell you that 'your new boss will be X', but they can't say 'your new employer will be Y' and actually do it without you signing something. Either side can zero notice quit the contact, but one side absolutely cannot renegotiate specific terms unilaterally. Basic US contract law prohibits that. Contracts with teeth that cut both ways don't start until you're in the equity bracket of leadership, or you're both extremely valuable (and management both knows it AND is willing to acknowledge it). Which is rare these days, when most companies will happily saw off their foot rather than deal fairly with someone with value to the company. i am a moron posted:Yea I mean wholly owned subsidiaries are a thing. True mergers might not qualify either, I know my wife has been through a few and I don’t think they reoffer necessarily. You can’t just peel off part of a company and hand it to another company though. Even something as simple as health insurance can’t be worked out without interacting with an employee Health Insurance on the employer side is a loving nightmare of bullshit, and you bet your rear end that everything involved with it lives and dies based on dozens of very specific terms and clauses, of which selling a division would 110% invalidate for those employees.

guppy posted:If you must, just make an exception for YouTube, don't turn it off globally. Oh I know, but for one glorious half hour while I was fighting with poo poo, it was off completely. And ho-lee-gently caress, I am never doing that again. Website breaks when adblocker is enabled? Better find a different website, apparently. I do like how the ad blocker arms race now includes 'please disable your ad blocker' popup blockers, and blockers for the blockers. It's a nightmare of javascript all the way down.
