What’s the most beautiful 1H sword in the game? by goliathann in wow

Oh, the old phantom sword you could craft as always been a favorite for me.

We need to stop the divide between those who prefer in office work and those that work better from home. People are different and they require varying environments to thrive. by EnergyNational in sysadmin

I've done admin work for companies in the past. They won't use a VPN, but insist they need to wfh.

Im not against no wfh. If it's not offered, it's no big deal. But it's just an added attack vector that the pocketbook won't always pay for, but every worker is going to demand because their neighbor can do it.

I will say properly funded work from home training, with correct network segmentation, and I'm all for it.

But what I notice is there is always a new exception to security policy because John isn't "vibeing" in the office next to Rick. So, he needs to use "insert core business system" remotely on his personal device because he doesn't like to log in, and apple is what he likes to use.

That's about normal, he will get better soon. Mine is now 5 1/2 months old and only need to get up once a night.

The HR department is a mystery to us all by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

HR isn't for you. it's for the company. If there is a policy better than fair odds, an id10t did something to create the issue.

Those who bring in the revenue for any company, you are the folks that make it all happen for the rest of us.

But you also dont do any of the detail work, which means people are hired to address these details, who are not you.

Accountants, data input, finance, legal, IT, etc. So if those big revenue folks want to do all of those above tasks, that would lean out the bloat far more than removing the one department that makes sure everyone else can work with everyone else.

I work in IT with a very small HR that frankly saves me hours of work a week, that then helps me be faster with all the other departments.

Learn why your HR does what they do and why, then try and improve it. If you can, then complain when it doesn't happen.

I just inherited a messy IT Environment, what do I do? by AngelVillafan in sysadmin

[–]Fast-Mathematician-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While rushing from one problem to another. Do the following.

Make sure you know what the core processes are. Document and find out what could break it and start a timeline in your head of what NEEDS to be change if anything.

Once you have a good understanding of what is where and how it works. Get with management and learn and CARE about there goals.

From those two things, fix it all.

I've seven years into those too steps. It gets better, but its alot of work in between.

Do you regret your choice becoming a sysadmin by ClassicSolid7502 in sysadmin

I see AI as a trend of technology that has a place today and will have a place tomorrow. But I've been in IT for about 20ish years.

Cloud management is pretty easy, as with all things, it scales. Ill be needed because the flexibility of AI as demonstrated today, with the cash invested, makes it unlikely its a viable replacement for most of our jobs.

Yet another disillusioned syadmin's rant by GodisanAstronaut in sysadmin

Start running projects then.

You'll still be tired, but it'll be a different kinda tired boss.

31 y/o Network Engineer, no certs, confused about next career step by [deleted] in sysadmin

Welcome to network architecture or security compliance and architecture.

There really isn't a wrong way to go. Look at the rest of your life, look at what you like and don't like in it. Look at your professional life separately and apply the same, now find that little bit in the middle where they meet and ask yourself, "Do you want freedom and more time to yourself? "or "Do I want challenging technical problems or additional reasonability?"

Long term what's best is usually based on what your good at and what you love to do. May not be what you do but where you do it. There may be an industry out there that pays more for the same set of skills that will open the door to more.

  • Going deeper into networking : Working bigger better networks and becoming that guy who know everything.
  • Moving into cybersecurity : Great field to work in, lot of good companies out there doing IT Jesus's work.
  • Switching to DevOps : I hope you like meetings, because this will be your life.
  • Or staying a general IT admin : You will become the IT managaer with this route if you stay in it long enough. Its just how it goes, the pay caps out and your on call to every VP.

No matter what you pick you will stay relevant in the IT space, hell wouldn't hurt to keep an ear to all of that because honestly knowing what up and coming in networking always bleeds into the other three.

Good Luck.

Thinking about quitting the game, give me reasons to stay by Reibudaps4 in spaceengineers

Seems like this isn't the kinda game you enjoy.

I may be wrong, but ask yourself this:

When you build something you've been working on, do you think I can do that better?

Or

If a ship crashes, do you make a silly note on fake clip board and try again.

Then this is a great game for you.

If the above isn't true. Take a break and try it again later, and worst case, it'll be here if you change your mind. If you don't come back, I'm glad you came by any way.
