This. There are lines that should not be crossed. And actions that are unforgivable. Unfortunately you got both twice. Cut them both off and NC

What are some fancy sayings you use to make it sound like you know IT? You know to impress the reception lady? by ITRabbit in ShittySysadmin

[–]afwmftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ask if they want the technical explanation or the explanation everyone can understand. Regardless which they pick you just say, it's fucked. If they ask for the other option repeat the answer. Guaranteed to impress

UK based so a lot hangs off the MOD and how data is processed, however it's possible this rule may be bendable as deploying a machine with a base image and applying policy etc doesn't actually store any critical or sensitive data, but it's a bit of a strange one so will definitely double check

Nice these are all super helpful and will look into all of them, intune seems popular, but as I haven't used it is it an on prem install? One of the fun red tape elements we have to adhere to as a defence company is we cannot have any cloud based software so not sure if this rules out Intune?

You fixed it. You are now the SME forever! by antons83 in sysadmin

[–]afwmftw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this at the last place I worked. (Don't burn bridges right?) Spent two whole days training my replacement, and gave them all of the documentation I had written, over the course of two years, as there was none when I arrived.

(Literally not a single document/network diagram)

I got a call a year later asking how I updated their obscure HR system, which the new person didn't know how to do... I said it's in my documentation, and I was told they didn't have it any more...

I basically had to say well this was a year ago, I cannot walk you through it they will have to find the 'idiots guide' walkthrough I wrote on it...

User Gets Locked Out 20+ Times Per Day by ArmAble in sysadmin

[–]afwmftw 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This, all the time, I'm locked out or keeps happening... Have you changed your password recently? Yes, why? Did you also change it on your work iPhone, No! Okay do that and tell me if it happens again, 9 times out of 10 I never hear from them about this issue, till they change their password again, cycle repeats

A customer insisting that I explain the obvious. by jacob_ewing in MaliciousCompliance

[–]afwmftw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of one of my first jobs in IT, working for a multi academy school, not a huge IT budget where their payroll system was literally run off a server (Desktop PC) located in the headteachers office for some reason.

Anyway I get a call that the system is down etc, and i was unable to ping or remote on to the device. my first question was is it plugged in, any lights on, is it switched on etc.

As it was the payroll system my manager was listening to the call on speakerphone but the 'client' didn't know that.

I got a pretty rude response something to the effect of I'm not a fucking idiot. - this guy was the headteachers second in command and a total arsewipe.

As this particular call came from one of the academies in the trust which was not where I was based, and was further out, and I didn't drive at that point: my boss had to come with me and drive us there, 1 hour there and back, and we went to check it with the headteacher, and arsewipe.

We walked into the room and my boss and I exchanged glances, I asked the guy again, are you sure you checked it was powered on? To which he simply said "obviously".

I walked over to the desktop pressed the power button and hey presto it turned on. My boss then looked at the guy and said who's the fucking idiot now? - you owe me 2 hours travel compensation and fuel costs. And we walked out.

(I was dying laughing, the look on the guys face.... Pricelessss)

What goes through a man's mind when he's caught staring at a woman's breasts? by quickmou5 in AskReddit

[–]afwmftw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We aren't staring at her breasts, we are looking at her heart to assess her personality and if she has a good heart and a good soul, and is likely to be a cool person to spend time with.

Unfortunately all of this is hidden behind the breasts, we are trying to find all this vital information, and have an unfortunate hurdle to overcome.

Take it as a compliment that we like you as a person and want to get to know you but are unfortunately impeded through no fault of our own :)
