The bulk of my new job is to monitor alarms across the entire network and action any that require actioning (Lost of alarms are just status things, or problems that have no solution, because a significant chunk of our network is ancient tech that has no support and no spares exist anymore BUT ANYWAY)
One of the main systems is generating 3-6 alarms every minute. They are all from the same cause. They are all things we cannot action because the problems are coming from reseller equipment. But the system can have alarms that we very much need to action if they come up so every last one of those alarms has to be checked and noted.
It's a fucking full time job to keep up with it. And that's on top of all things we normally do.
What in the F.
Do you... not have the ability to customize your monitor sets?
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

i got asked to give feedback on a co-worker and it feels real weird to be all "nope, no suggestions here, they're great" because i genuinely don't have a bad thing to say about them

Sure! Except this system has never been properly set up because when it was installed, the tech who was tasked with programming everything was given no instructions. Basically, it's been "Figure it all out for yourselves" so a lot of stuff isn't clear.
And we're retiring it and replacing it with an even more cyptic and useless platform! Yay!
I like that the consultancy firm approached the rebranding like it was a recipe on a blog. 98% buildup about your personal life or a vague, pompous essay on something entirely unrelated, 2% actual content.
Peer feedback is such bullshit. I wish that concept can die in a fire along with pointless annual reviews that mean nothing.
The way we do peer review is great. You nominate three people to provide feedback to your manager to help inform their review of you. I've gotten a lot of glowing 4/5s when I nominate people like Alice (SVP), Bill (Managing Director), and Carl (my boss's boss).
I will approach every question like this in future.
"What is 2 plus 2, Bogart?"
"Well, numbers have been with us a long time, and their symbology is a fascinating tale which weaves its way through every notable culture on the planet. As Montaigne said, when asked about his friendship with the noted artist ... "
Also, a million dollars for a large company rebrand makes sense, but that's because your paying for the work of the number of assets involved in the rebrand...not the pitch of the new logo.
Pepsi paid $1 million for its new logo (even though it looks a lot like other brands' logos), but the details of exactly how Arnell Group justified that astonishing fee have remained hidden -- until now.
First, note the astonishing amount of whitespace. We're clearly in for something that prizes form over substance here, but it's so much more egregious than that.

Ugh.
I basically do alarm management for a living... I had to spend several months when I got in building a system to manage monitor configurations since it was all hand-built nonsense.
But yeah... no point if it's getting deprecated. Though I'd encourage you to try and dig though the cryptids of the new system and figure out how to automate it. You get to feel like a gd genius at the end, at least.

The thing that rocks my world is the document which seems to be like 100+ pages where each somehow manages to contribute actual negative value
But even in much less extreme cases — even when taken on voluntarily — isolation can have unexpected effects, as was famously illustrated by the outcome of the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe yacht race, in which nine men competed to be the first to do a solo, nonstop circumnavigation of the globe. Only one sailor, Robin Knox-Johnston, finished the mission, after 313 days alone at sea. But Johnston would likely have lost to an eccentric Frenchman named Bernard Moitessier had Moitessier not found the solitude so compelling that he abandoned the race altogether and just continued sailing, feeding cheese to seabirds and circling the globe more than one and a half times before landing in Tahiti. A fellow competitor named Donald Crowhurst, meanwhile, spent much of the trip concocting fake coordinates as he drifted around the Atlantic, plagued by loneliness and depression. After more than eight months, he capped a rambling 25,000-word philosophical treatise with “I have no need to prolong the game,” and presumably threw himself into the sea.

i've completely internalized and accepted the incorrect pronunciation of my name after a life of just going with it, and young child me not caring, and introduce myself with the incorrect pronunciation most of the time except when i get embarrassed and introduce myself to an indian person
Hakkekage would pronounce my name right and troll me on it tho
also @Deebaser
"Shazkar Shadowstorm" if it makes you feel any better, people have been pronouncing my name consistently incorrectly since I got down South, but have weirdly been nailing my wife’s name.
your first name????
Yeah it's pretty wild. Almost no one pronounces my name correctly since I moved down here. My squad goes heavy with the U in my name, but everyone else around here completely ignores it like it's one of those british 'U's after "O" that don't mean anything.

As a reminder, the firm was paid one million dollars for this.

I like to imagine that Crowhurst instead got picked up by the sexy crew of a passing yacht and is still partying to this day
