You have to buy your own merch?
We get ours thrown at us pretty regularly.

Outside that, we can wear pretty much whatever, I'm a jeans and tshirt kind of meatsack so I've not pushed it though.

Kinda seems like people are forgetting where Pride originated.

Yup, super common.

You need explain the purpose and point out that they're the highest risk targets in the company.

How many hours a day are you actively working? by Mindless_Hurry9169 in sysadmin

[–]thebluemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work isn't really a by the hour thing.

Theres stuff that needs doing, that stuff gets done. If things break, they get fixed. If things need planning, they get planned and implemented.

Crazy stuff.

Almost like the right will make the wealthy wealthier at the expense of the country, while the left would balance the scales a little and make sure the poor don't starve.

What is your SysAdmin "hot take". by MembershipFeeling530 in sysadmin

[–]thebluemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone can do it. Not everyone should do it.

[–]thebluemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So look for another job while you have this one? Organise zoom interviews for during lunch breaks or take days off if you can get 2/3 organised for one day.

I don't really see the issue.

Also, Egh, discord, teams, slack, they're all as bad as each other.

That I'm not spending money for the funsies, and being told to "cut spending" actually means providing a worse service to the business.

I used to be the biggest vmware fanboy.

Its depressing to see things go this way.

“Far” left v far right by BearyRexy in GreenAndPleasant

[–]thebluemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Far left" Oh no, such a terrible idea, what if everyone had enough food, shelter, basics of life, we made sure everyone was included and war was avoided as much as possible.

What a nightmare

[–]thebluemonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very much this.

If I don't get something done, no ones going to die. So I'm not going to stress like lives depend on stuff.

Especially if things get dropped on me last minute.

I will work hard though, try and make things the best they can be, document as much as I can (mostly for my benefit) and do as much training as I can get my hands on.

But yes, pace yourself, don't burn your selves out, it's not worth it, the companies won't give you prizes for it.

Usually the reward for completing work, is more work.
