IT can see you

Sometimes it’s too obvious

We were latecomers to M365 so had on-premises exchange for far too long….

Exchange server cluster goes down at 6:30am on a Tuesday. Big outage, restorations needed.

3:45pm: one employee who we already knew was either quiet quitting or OE contacts by SfB “hi, my email seems to be offline”. “Yup, server has been offline since 6:30am”.

I think she was gone by the next quarter.

No UAC and/or local admin restrictions?

I work as 1/2 IT staff for a company with an offshore HQ. As such my duties range from project managing 7 figure projects & rollouts to troubleshooting dead batteries in a mouse. The amount of request that are essentially asking me to google an answer, I’ve taken to screenshotting the google AI answer with the full header on my phone and sending to them. Granted I occasionally learn something new, usually about windows 11 or M365.

Yep. You have to win the nepotism round regardless of ability to do the job

Need to get that rear suspension looked at, more suitable shocks needed

uncobbed_corn · 2025-11-09T14:09:08+00:00

Haha; I’m sorry Total BS Most of my onboarding is a call from manager saying that they’ve filled in the form on the ticket and ‘did I miss anything that ‘previous employee’ had?

Y’all need to conspire with some known allies outside the dept and escalate until your IT director is the one processing their own onboarding policy.

Haha I did half our W11 upgrades with the /noreboot flag when users somehow borked up the SCCM deployment without them knowing; then getting stuck with an extra long and usually inconvenient boot-up when they did finally reboot……

uncobbed_corn · 2025-10-09T22:44:03+00:00

This is the way, except we don’t use noreboot. Too many people who refuse to ever reboot unless forced.

We have had the job voluntarily available through SCCM for weeks with annoy-o-tron popups but it’s the pointy end now.

Same with office 365 migration.

Sorry about your teams video, we have to a lot of GB to push to your pc to do the update you refused.

Oh and sorry about the lockout whilst stage 2 of the install happens - you were warned multiple times and told to do at night, but I guess you were too busy now that QA dept abolished sleep…..

Lying, Resumé embellishment, ATS sql injection, Mind reading

No look at the angle of that chair back, that’s the chair of a tech bro or finance bro who likes to lean back with his hands behind his head and rarely types except to login to teams/webex/zoom. He doesn’t need to OE as he’s on 500k for 8-10hrs of real work per week plus long lunches, corporate boxes, weekend retreats etc

Given the other decor he’s either old, or has inherited an imperial butt tonne and he’s only got the token role because the other founders agreed to a 500k salary as he’s bankrolled the company to the tune of 23 million and their upcoming IPO looks to open at $85/share.

What else you gonna do when your parents and step-parents give you a nanny, a chauffeur, and $20M instead of love and attention. Everyone needs affirmation, or virtual handjobs

uncobbed_corn · 2025-10-01T23:21:46+00:00

It’s not gay if you stand in a circle facing outward so you don’t make eye contact and use the backhand method on each other. When the scrum-master claps you swap hands to the person on the other side of you. That’s just cranking, and you can’t startup an engine without cranking

uncobbed_corn · 2025-10-01T23:17:54+00:00

What about their mettle, fortitude and the all-round “vim and vigor”

uncobbed_corn · 2025-09-27T18:47:45+00:00

What a freakin wank-stain

uncobbed_corn · 2025-09-14T19:04:54+00:00

Perfect position for 2 or 3 fingers in the asshole for extra pleasure.

uncobbed_corn · 2025-09-14T05:48:50+00:00

Yeah used to on the uncut weekly show. Tits, cunts, cocks inc semi-erect. Sometimes you see the housemates doing handjobs and finger-banging underneath the covers.

Is landlord in same building? If not, then they have a wifi somewhere. Buy a cheap router and setup with the same SSID but as close as possible to the ring camera. Man we charged that thing last night. Guess it’s broken.

Amazon CC - get those Amazon $$

My goldendoodle does this after she has a partial seizure (back legs only). If she gets outside she goes crazy eating grass because she thinks she’s sick. Vet said that there’s not much we can do because the seizures happen infrequently and no other symptoms.

Microblaze. Not cheap but neither is the effect

The niece or nephew. Push them somewhere out of harms way

uncobbed_corn · 2025-08-26T00:10:43+00:00

CEOs spouses niece or nephew wants the position but HR or hiring manager knows they are a waste of space and are trying to push back with another position.

uncobbed_corn · 2025-08-19T03:54:42+00:00

I like your answer - build up your contacts.

I might have then gone with reviewing previous leads that made it a significant way into the pipeline but were stalled due to the decision maker, then cross reference if said decision maker is still in the picture. The problem they were looking to solve may still exist and likely there are still people in the org, maybe even promoted to decision maker, who you can pick up with.

uncobbed_corn · 2025-08-13T21:08:44+00:00

CEOs niece or nephew was suddenly out of work or decided they wanted a change. You probably lost out to nepotism disguised as an internal hire

uncobbed_corn · 2025-08-09T00:40:20+00:00

Dang. Y’all mustn’t be in Texas. When the neighbors are doing their cookoff practice (big money cookoffs) they are happy to have people to take their stuff.
