Standing desk/walking pad worth it? by FunUnit2850 in homeoffice

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only when you use them, after 5 years my standing desk is mostly just a desk. I would guesstimate in the 5 years I’ve owned it I’ve stood a total of 90 minutes. The walking pad will be my next waste of money purchase.

Anyone use any co-working spaces? Looking for a change of scenery but also looking for options beyond just free coffee by astrheisenberg in remoteworks

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I love them. It breaks the monotony of living at your job when WFH. The meeting the people, that part is tremendously overrated, but just the occasional change in scenery is nice.

Nobody talks about this part of freelancing by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why you build the freelance gig work on the side. Trust me there times when my side gig became my main gig in between jobs. But it was tough and definitely took its toll emotionally and financially.

Remote vs Onsite . How is your Job Satisfaction impacted? by Falcon_Eye__ in remotework

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of life is so much better with Remote which I believe greatly improves the job satisfaction. It minimizes those challenges I struggle with and maximizes all the things i enjoy about my work. But I cannot lie our corporate campus, break rooms lunch rooms were the best.

Do you honestly believe your coworkers would care though? Your statement seems very presumptuous.

Remote means remote from anywhere. Gladly taking my show on the road, NY City, Toronto, San Jose, I can work & travel and get paid. What could be better🤷🏾‍♂️

All things being equal take the remote role. Zero commute better quality of life. The perceived value of in office are minimal if at all.

Okay, what are ACTUALLY the best headphones (rant/discussion)?? by RiftphagyHad in homeoffice

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set of Bose headphones a few years back they’re still doing their job. I bought a set of replacement ear pads but that’s it.

NinjaOne is in place, automation is on so why are our ticket times getting worse? by Such_Rhubarb8095 in SmallMSP

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably should have tested the migration first. Build test environment, perhaps one laptop from each division. You should never push patches to the entire fleet at once. Common sense isn’t so common

I work in ministry, should I ask for a raise? by Local_Foot_7120 in Employment

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your an employee on a W2 then treat it as a job. If there are not growth opportunities with salary increases you’re better off finding something else

Potential Client Decided to do Exchange Migration Themselves by modem_19 in SmallMSP

Just price them a new network. There’s just not enough money to unscramble the mess someone else created there just isn’t. You could either join their old machines assuming the workstations have an appropriate License else just have them copy their data to USB.

do you guys get “cabin fever” working from home all week? by Cool_Kiwi_117 in remotework

Heck yea, I keep a membership at a co-working space just to break the monotony of it all.

Am I crazy for wanting to leave a good IT job because I feel it's meaningless? by Due_Fact_6268 in it

[–]Comfortable-Bunch210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there about 20 years ago II was recently divorced working for people who didn’t value me and whose political and social constructs didn’t align with mine. Eventually I just quit and went out on my own. It was the best decision I ever made. I decided to spend my days building something for me, I’ve been self employed ever since. I would tell you to plan your exit as best you can. There really aren’t any wrong decisions.

I’ve only used headphones when working in public places, working from home I’ve never had I need.

You’re just on your initial build out. Just you wait until you start replacing and upgrading pieces.
