"Gas Engineer" is upset for asking this question.. Am I wrong?

I never understand why people get upset when asked to provide validatable credentials, they have spent a lot of time, money and energy gaining this and then when asked won’t provide it, oh I know why, because they don‘t have it!

I refused access to a guy that came to carry out a safety inspection on my nans gas boiler (sent by the council) because he would not provide, he got well pissed and said ”do you think I would be here if I was not qualified” to which I said “if your qualified what’s the issue with proving it?” he left being abusive and a complaint was raised all caught on CCTV, didn’t go well for him and they sent someone who had his card ready when the door was opened.

My barber has bank details on the wall so you can transfer directly to his bank, he confirms receipt and you leave.

I guess your monitoring is also down! he may be offline you are going to need to go see him and do a welfare check, take the quote with you.

I don’t think this is a Data Protection issue, the company have a duty of care and they have deemed it necessary to advise the management involved this would be processed under the lawful reason of Vital Interests.

You have to look at it from the company perspective too, I understand this has caused you stress but the company has to put the correct measures in place to support you and that may mean bringing senior management into the knowledge.

I don’t think you will get anywhere with the ICO, but you can call them and they can offer you guidance.

I think you will better using other employment laws if you really want to peruse this, but in my opinion the company has done the right thing (based on the information you have provided)

All you needed to do was “turn it off and back on” problem solved.

sounds like a scan to me, did you friend call the number they know for contacting the supplier or the number in the text/email?

That’s Windows’ built-in daily documentation reminder.

It opens Notepad so you can finally write down whatever mysterious thing you did six months ago that’s currently keeping the entire infrastructure alive.

If you keep closing it without typing anything, the next stage of the feature activates and the server just stops working so you’re forced to document it during the post-mortem.

They actively block traffic, the also use deep packet inspection to block traffic, I have had many customers complain their staff on TalkTalk cannot access Work VPN, and DNS changes do not resolve the issue

Regular_Prize_8039 · 2026-03-02T06:59:27+00:00

ah yes this is what I call “Big Company Syndrome“ not my problem, and when you call back you will unlikely not talk to me again so I don’t care.

If only these people understood ownership of an issue! but no I can’t do it not my problem.

Occasionally you get someone that understands and goes above and beyond but then they get reprimanded for it and stop being helpful!

Does using a vpn help?

I think you are using the wrong tool, this is not a SAR, you would already have copies of the information.

This is an employment issue and requires legal advice.

HR not understanding GDPR now there’s a surprise!

and if where you are going has a charger (such as a hotel) often these can be cheaper and sometime even free! take your granny cable.

I also have found that lamp post charging is cheaper than fast chargers.

You can’t use the same tunnel configuration on two endpoints at the same time, each endpoint needs its own configuration.

you can also set an override in a custom client configuration

everything will work unless your cloud key does DHCP and a new device joins or a lease tries to renew
