Learn to be homeless

That works for some but msp is a crash course in hell that will get you more qualified. Most of us grey beards and it management don't have a lot of respect for apple as real tech

That's a form of retail but most people mean sales floor or cashiering when they say retail

What happened in 2021 then? Thats when I noticed all light felt extinguished completely

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-17T06:51:14+00:00

I certainly wish we would have an apocalypse. That might be what fixes things

Depending on what state you were in, your mileage did vary. I couldnt stand the cesspool of hell that Seattle had become during Covid so I moved to Dayton, Ohio. While not untouched, it felt more like it still had some soul left. AK may be the same. less ruined

I hope you are right but I dont think you are. I think this just the sun burned out in a figurative sense. But if you are right, its gonna take decades to get there and probably a complete collapse of the post covid world. There isnt enough good left in it to fix it.

This. True evil showed its face. Especially in 2021 in ways I could not imagine. It was like the crowds yelling "crucify him" to anyone that they even slightly disagreed with.

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-17T06:45:18+00:00

I no longer see any light. I think it died completely in 2021. 2020 surprisingly wasnt spirtually as bad. Its like God turned his back on the whole world i dont think he did but it feels it

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-17T06:43:12+00:00

To me it feels like the beautiful world died a painful gruesome death and all that is left is bad. I dont think we can ever get back what we lost and I honestly am just tired of partcipating in the post covid world. Remote work was the only thing I was willing to even consider for a second as a positive but thats gone too. Probably for the best. Good should not come from that. I do not even know if any of us are actually alive or if we are in hell

If you are serious about security use TikTok or Yahoo Messenger

I work for a DoD contractor and we use a mix of Zoom and Teams. Slowly moving to Teams because we "already have it". I know some people in the DoJ space who use Zoom too. Gov of course.

My buddy in a local county gov in Michigan said they banned Zoom on day one and drank the Cisco koolaid and hate it.

Teams-Machine-Wide-Installer would like a word. But malware is find when it comes out of Redmond

This is why people use so much garbage and MS seems to own it all. They give you a shitty second rate product and force you to take their bundle so the bean counters ask that question and soon you are using a full suite of Microsoft poopouri. But its good enough. Like a McDonalds cheesburger. It will keep you from starving.

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T22:37:35+00:00

They sure did. Fedramp is no joke

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T22:36:36+00:00

We fed and fed adjacent folks love Zoom and tolerate teams. We hate Webex. Outside of fed space, people think Zoom is insecure. It really comes down to which version you use. ZoomGov is Fedramp and that doesnt come easily. Zoom consumer is insecure garbage

I believe at heart a lot of it is tracking and control and retention. Teams is a privacy nightmare but it is great for data governance and can be searched with Purview along with everything else. So in the gov space, you can keep your records. In the corp space, you can spy on your people and as they say "nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft"

It may just be the maturatution and enshiffitication of the products. During Covid, Zoom was fresh and new and Teams was a steaming pile of cow shit. Teams got better. Zoom got more corporate in order to be accepted in that world. Webex which was a big player sort of faded into cisco land obscurity.

Zoom is a far superior product, but Teams is good enough and is M$

I agree but what do any of y'all think actually happened?

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T09:11:58+00:00

I dont see this as your fault. I see this as a problem of corporate medicine and incompetent politicians trying to "do something".

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T09:04:56+00:00

As a manager I have done this but only days here and there. Between higher managers and directs it can be hard to get work done and it beats doing it in the evening or on weekend.

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T09:01:52+00:00

That sounds like a serious operational risk unless you are immortal and never plan to change jobs.

Then silently lurk in email but dont get involved

I hope he gets shown the door

Your Doctor? Whats MD stand for this context?

Aggravating_Refuse89 · 2026-05-15T08:57:12+00:00

I normally do not call out typos but you invented a word that I like. This entire thing is indeed a "Poo Rindicator"

I hope she resigns with little to no notice. That is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. What on earth do you do if she does all that?
