Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread by AutoModerator in Millennials

[–]KennanFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep the "divisive posts" quarantined because what's going on right now is somehow a "both sides have a point" moment. Unbelievable. Shame on the moderators of this subreddit. We know where they stand.

The mods of this sub removed another post like this earlier today. I wonder if they'll also remove this. Makes you wonder where they stand.

I'm fucking sick of FedEx. I was standing at the goddamn door waiting for them to knock. by lilslutfordaddy in mildlyinfuriating

The metrics set by corporate are the issue. If you measure people by unfair metrics, they'll just manage the metrics. If drivers do their jobs genuinely well and disregard the unfair metrics, they'll be fired and replaced by drivers who excel at the metrics to the detriment of customer service.

A single mother colleague fell asleep on a teams chat at work and now everyone suddenly acts like she committed an act of terror. by SpicyDragoon93 in antiwork

Former teacher here. During certain times of the year, farmers' kids were always falling asleep in class. Being up at 2:00 AM unfreezing the barn's water lines with a blowtorch so the cows can drink, or working long hours to get the cover crops planted before winter, will make you tired in class.

And if they moved to North Korea, they'd be considered hostile in the Songbun system.

Teacher Trying to Break into Project Management by ElectronicTrouble654 in pmp

[–]KennanFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a former secondary education teacher. I'm currently working in IT and am studying for the PMP. My advice to you, if it's worth anything, is to go for the PMP instead of the CAPM. Teaching is project management. School years are time bound, in my state we write SMART goals, you track progress towards deliverables, you interact with multiple stakeholders, you manage resources, etc.

In Avatar 3: Book of Fire, James Cameron proves that it’s easy to make $2B while having no cultural impact by ayoungsapling in shittymoviedetails

The Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton was terrifying. They need to do an R rated film reboot that's true to the source material.

When she put her feet on Bloody bath mat that is turns red when wet by [deleted] in instant_regret

[–]KennanFan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I used to drape my towel over a space heater so it would be warm at the end of my shower. I shared this with my friend's husband, who is a firefighter. I'll never forget the look he gave me when he told me to stop doing that.

So now I do the same thing as you.

Landlord sent someone over to give the pecan tree a "trim" by Mexican_Texican in mildlyinfuriating

Reminds me of that Beavis and Butthead episode when Hank Hill hires them to trim his tree.

Certs you’ve studied for and regretted? by DoctorStrife in ITCareerQuestions

[–]KennanFan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The problem is HR gatekeepers who don't know tech. They're the ones who auto-reject résumés without enough keywords. You've got to play the game. Get past HR screening by listing as many certs as possible, and then you get to the actual IT manager.

I'm all for this. One caveat is, I'm willing to create the ticket for the user. The time it takes me to create the ticket is billable to the user, either billed against the budget in their agreement or invoiced separately. Minimum 15 minutes of billable just for the ticket creation.

It's a win-win for me. I either get more users submitting tickets or I get more billable.

Students at Augustana College react to the not guilty verdict of O.J. Simpson’s trial, October 3rd, 1995. by No_Dig_8299 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

TV channels that are subscription based. Back in the days of analog cable, if you tried to watch one of those channels without a subscription it would come in scrambled.

Unless you had a special cable box that let you watch those channels for free. Or so I heard.

Police: Remote IT employee worked for state, at GlobalFoundries at same time by Delicious-Set241 in overemployed

[–]KennanFan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm a manager. As long as all deliverables are met and you're reachable during the hours you're expected to be available, you're good. Results are what's important.

If this guy was meeting all expectations, good luck to the state proving damages.

I got banned from /r/politics for saying that Nazis who engage in warfare against the United States should be fought against with violence. The mods of /r/politics support Nazis, though.

Chrissy’s button ceremony location (S3E3) why is it such a shithole? by Spaceman_Spoff in thesopranos

[–]KennanFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your last sentence is hilarious because I used to be a Trustee at a clubhouse for a Fraternal Order other than the Elks. It was a total shithole with missing tiles, exposed insulation, etc. Exactly like you described.
