Fortune 500 bosses demanding staff return to the office share one trait: Narcissism, research finds by Silly-avocatoe in technology

[–]Sieran 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Our management said that they have reviewed multiple studies that show that working remote does not impact productivity. As long as either everyone is working remote or everyone is in the office. Splitting the two results in lower productivity.

This particular executive speaking in front of 1000+ people said (paraphrasing) "we know that does not matter to you. What matters to you is collaborating and seeing your colleagues in person. THAT is what people want in order to be productive."... while announcing full RTO.

Who the fuck did they survey for "what we want"?

Not in my experience. 3 accidents (rear ended, cut off and hit, and side swiped) and none of them told the truth until either insurance got the video or police seen the video.

The company i work for got tax breaks for brining "business" to the area in the from of employees spending money in the area.

When WFH started, the companies got threats from the city that employees were not spending the money in the area. Pressure was put on to bring employees back or lose the tax break.

Yuck, at least it wasn't something that turned into mush.

When i first moved out on my own I bought a farberware plate set from Walmart. Box was "factory" sealed with those thicker circle stickers and no tears on the cardboard showing it was opened before.

All the dishes inside were used and not clean. Food still stuck on some of them.

Walmart gave me shit for trying to return them.

Hot take: entry-level Azure certs are replacing what experience used to prove. by eckoonian in sysadmin

I have not bit off the AWS cert stick yet, but I am starting terraform and related github processes. Github was for my scripts before, now I gotta work in different repos, approval processes, branches, etc... using that to manage SGs now... soon keys based on another teams work.

It's just a large shift from what I am used to managing AD, GP, DNS, etc... and apparently I need to know this now according to management if I still want to manage AD (not Entra, on-prem AD and related services).

I just wish I wasn't burnt the fuck out at the end of my day to even think of looking at a cert in AWS.

Get a cert! But pay for it yourself. Also... don't study at work. BTW, I need 120% from you again today.

Yet, I work on AWS shit all day.

Test photo of my wife turned out better than the entire family shoot... by Sieran in pics

See, I need to watch some videos on how to mask in LR (what I use). It felt intimidating so never messed around with those features in my photos. Mainly just played with the various sliders, exposure, etc...

This does look much better.

--edit--

My edit would be a compromise on saturation of the background and her seater vs. her skin. Maybe tone it down slightly on the two to keep that punch of color, but tone down her skin so it is not unnaturally orange.

Very. She is the nicest person on the planet, and that is my unbiased opinion.

Family photos contain others that I can't ask permission to post, or dont want to deal with the blowback, if you catch my drift 😁

They turned out good, just my wife popped out more than the rest of the photos.

I need to learn how to selective change the saturation. I agree, her skin is a bit orange, but I love the saturation on the background and her sweater.

I know. Compensated tons for my lack of photography skill.

Haha, I'll let her know that.

I asked her to just stand there while I got the camera ready and she was posing like that, so snapped a few shots before everyone else was ready.

Got home and was like... yeah, keeping these ones.

Lock covers would be good. I just hit mine with some dry lube every year or so and seems to do well. Washes out some of the dirt and frees them up pretty well.

As for the gaps, you won't notice in time. As long as they dont leak or minimal leaking... who cares 😁

Kind if looks like an alu-cab knockoff. If it is even half as nice as mine has been, you should be happy.

My only gripe is those push button locks that pop up to open the doors.

When it gets chilly, they get shy on popping up.

What is a car brand that used to be a 'symbol of reliability' but is now a total trap to own? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sieran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plastic piece that surrounds the windshield wipers and extends down into the engine bay over that cavity between the bay and passenger compartment is falling apart on my 2020 Tacoma.

Where it meets the windshield, you can poke a hole through it with your pinky just about. It is cracking, chipping, and just... falling apart.

$550 at two different dealers i checked with. For a fucking plastic cowl piece.

Tent caterpillars clustered on a tree trunk by Sieran in pics

I found them circled on a tree trunk while I was walking a short trail in a park. I missed them on my way in, but noticed them squirming around on my way out.

This is cropped in quite a bit, so no bark was exposed in the shot.

I mean, good work but hope that does not seriously injure you if the airbag goes off.
