Probably 75ish staff and all the students have ipads. K-12 small rural school.
That's because they're rogues!
Can't predict a rogue!
It also oozes with saltiness over previous hires.
That's why I call it Amy's Baking Company.
Hey bowen, I have a job you might be interested in:
It mostly consists of touching printers and manually generating spam email.
You will be required to be on call 24/7 and are expected to be on site ~60 hours a week.
It is an exempt salaried position starting at 25K/year with limited opportunities for growth.
The image tagged at the end makes it read like someone got pissy they didn't get a raise and then the owner was like "yeah well, I uh... uh I prepay your legal fees if you're ever sued at work... yeah!"
Okay so, apparently this is still happening. and I'm home sick and getting emails about it. Luckily it only seems to happen to two devices at a time, but definitely needs fixing. So as a first step, I just need to track down both devices and figure out what IP the DHCP server has? In talking to the person who helped me setup our linux DNS, it sounds like that is not configured to run as DHCP, so I should be able to narrow it down once I do that. And then maybe buy a book/course on networking. And get that AD thing rolling so I can get it all in one spot.
"Are you a great team player who excels at getting it done yourself?! Come join a family that prioritizes work/life balance and kills it day in and day out, 24/7!!"
Fuck... You...
While it's a seriously outside chance, don't rule out two devices with the same MAC address.
I've seen it at least 3 times in my career, and it's always been Apple devices.
I think it's important to prioritize a work-life balance. Usually that concept is used by assholes to justify giving people more work than they can do in a single day. I am a STRONG believer in the 8-8-8 rule. 8 hours of work, 8 hours of play, 8 hours of sleep.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I thought it was 12-4-4-4 12 hours of work, 4 hours of commute because you can't afford to live where you're actually employed, 4 hours of sleep, and 4 hours of 'life balance' (breakfast, dinner, getting ready for work, getting ready for bed, etc).
I have a strong aversion to this culture of "busy", where if you don't always look late for an appointment, then they can throw some more work your way. Never mind that being always like that doesn't make you actually productive.
That's when you work unpaid OT but there's a foosball table and if we go public in 8 years you might walk with a $10k bonus, right?
I'm 100% going to use this the next time I go to an interview.
It's a well-worn cliche in consulting firms that they are shoemakers without shoes - they recommend things that they themselves not only don't do, but go out of their way to avoid. A company that sells employee surveys, for example, won't regularly survey themselves and if they do, won't do anything with the results. See also: management consulting, company culture consulting, diversity consulting.
DevOps consulting...
Do you sell fertilizer?
I'm feeling attacked.
If it helps, I work in consulting. So I speak from firsthand experience. =P
Take a look at this one, sourced directly from Rogue
https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/roguecom/view/P_AAAAAACAAFJCaddk_wcv5A
It is written normally, professionally, and does not include of the mocked "Rogue" talk.
Maybe that was an actual job posting at one point, but it sure doesn't seem like how they are running themselves now. It's certainly possible that they're a shitshow to work for (I haven't heard anything about working for them), but nothing in the application process indicates it.
i have a feeling they cleaned their act up a lot after the shitty owner died. here's a 2015 interview with the new owner (the son of the shitty one) where he's asked about that specific posting and does not deny that it was real
note: the links in the quote are taken directly from the source article. the second one, in particular, really has a lot of details about how shitty the previous owner was
I think they might be genuinely trying to clean up their act.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Yeah I guess the original guy was kind of crazy in general.
Meh, it's fine. They'll always have a special place as being one of the real early non-macro options that was widely available across the country even if I wouldn't really turn their way now.
:Big oof:
The more you know.
If that job posting was offering a quarter million dollar salary, I'd STILL want to punch whoever wrote it in the nuts until the bones in my hands break.
We're setting up a VPN tunnel to another company.
The other company gave us a peer IP address (a public IPv4 address) but didn't tell us what traffic to tunnel
They keep saying, "we will initiate traffic to you"
Okay, but... I need to route the return traffic to the VPN tunnel, so I need to know what subnets or hosts to put my routing table rules
I'm trying to ask them for that three or four different ways (by email) and they keep saying "we will initiate traffic to you" or "you need to allow traffic to the tunnel" without specifying any IPs or subnets to route back to them.
Am I the stupid one here?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Nope, you're dealing with some rogues.
Storage Migration Service is fucking civilization though.
