how long have you been unemployed for ?

fellas if you're still blessed with a fully remote job and dodged all the layoffs, here's your reminder that your God given duty is to now do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at all at your job.

i quite literally did nothing at a peak-coof job that i had just joined. would wake up at 9:59 and join the stand-up in bed and refuse to turn my camera on. 15 minutes later i would go work on/rip my motorcycle around in the mountains

past that I would lift weights and walk aimlessly around my neighborhood smoking cigarettes

anytime someone would try to "call me out" for doing fuck-all (literally not one single commit made my entire tenure at this company) i would just let the team know that I was feeling sick. that was my get-out-of-jail-free card due to peak coof hysteria. that's probably the one advantage to working at a pozzed blue-hair cuck tech company... if you know how to be a faggot victim you can do whatever you want, even if you're a straight white guy.

at the 6 month mark i got an exceeds expectations LMAO. quit at 7 month mark because my actual technical skills were rapidly withering. fun while it lasted.

wake up later. leave earlier. intentionally miss more meetings. ignore Slack and Teams pings, _especially_ if it's from Rajesh.

Thinking of even going a step further and doing the overemployed reddit meme

>>101132193

Is it possible to work without Rajesh in US or they are mandatory in every company ?

>>101132214
No it's absolutely mandatory.

No, pajeet is eternal.

About 7 months. I had started applying in February up until March, the only companies I got response from sucked ass. A mate of mine set me up with a company he's working at, but they fucked me around for two months just to decide they didn't want to hire me. I'm currently not applying atm because I'd rather focus on doing my own thing. I burn through money slowly and I've got enough to last me 2 - 3 years.

>>101132193

as based as this is, i actually recommend against doing it. because once you do, it changes your life. its sort of like when you go to 120fps monitors - you can't go back anymore.

once you realize that the entire thing was a facade, a meme, busywork for inflating appearances, you basically can't bring yourself to do any work anymore, ever. like, its over. its actually over. it is forever pointless, forever unsatisfying, a sham.

i basically have no idea what to do with my life anymore ever since i realised i can just do nothing and nobody cares. you think its liberating but its the opposite. as if fake relationships, fake news, and fake tv werent enough, now even the jobs are fake too, the meetings, the 'events', all of it fake, all of it a meme... one is left to wonder, is there anything that _isnt_ fake?

>>101132508

Yeah juniors tend to panic while job hunting and do that.

>>101132424

They speak English, the companies are in America.

>>101132542
>one is left to wonder, is there anything that _isnt_ fake?
No. We live in Scamerica. And even if you're not an Amerilard, don't fool yourself into believing that any white collar job anywhere is different. Everyone is a grifter, everything is vaporware hype driven fake non-sense. Nothing matters except appearances, which may be the liberating part of it all, and gives you something to optimize for.

Employers hate to hear this, but I’ll say it anyway:

Employees don't quit "bad jobs". They quit "bad managers".

Fantastic visual from Victoria Repa :fire:

Bad managers will:

Ignore toxicity at work.
Or become toxic themselves.

It’s not often the job that makes people quit.
Here is why they actually leave:

1. Poor Management.
2. Micromanaging boss.
3. Toxic work environment.
4. Unbalanced work-life mix.
5. Unable to trust leadership.
6. No opportunities to progress.
7. Feeling overqualified and bored.
8. Poor communication in their team.
9. No challenge within day-to-day tasks.
10. Workload is not equal to the pay check.
11. Overworked with unrealistic expectations.
12. Not being shown appreciation for hard work.
13. No room for creativity and innovation in the role.
14. Company values and personal values do not align.
15. No flexible working or work from home opportunities.

72% of employees leave their job because of a toxic environment.
So let's keep spreading the word and create change.

>>101132716
Eh, the opposite for me. I stay because I hate my manager so much I want to steal as much money from the company as I can while also degrading the QoL of everyone who uses our products. The ultimate grief/disrespect is not quitting imo.

>>101132877
Of course! Maintaining work-life balance is crucial for long-term success and well-being. Here are a few key points to elaborate on:

1. Prioritize Tasks: Identify what is most important both at work and in your personal life. Make sure you’re dedicating appropriate time to each.
2. Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. This might mean not checking work emails after a certain hour or dedicating specific times for family and leisure.
3. Take Breaks: Regular breaks during the workday can help maintain productivity and reduce stress. Short breaks can refresh your mind and improve focus.
4. Learn to Say No: Overcommitting can lead to burnout. Be realistic about what you can handle and don’t be afraid to decline additional responsibilities if you’re already stretched thin.
5. Engage in Hobbies: Having interests outside of work provides a necessary mental break and can help reduce stress. Whether it’s reading, exercising, or a creative hobby, make time for activities you enjoy.
6. Plan Vacations: Taking time off to recharge is essential. Plan vacations or staycations regularly to unwind and refresh.

By focusing on these aspects, you can ensure that you’re not only productive at work but also enjoying a fulfilling personal life, which in turn enhances your overall performance and satisfaction.

Is 'Brain Rape' in an interview real? I have some experience in a very niche domain, and I'm wondering if people are going to offer me """interviews""" for """""open"""" positions... that are really just them baiting me into giving them free consultation, without any interest in hiring me. Is this something companies actually do?

The biggest lessons being an EMPLOYEE for 10 years have taught me:

1. HR is there to protect the company, not you.

2. Make sure to document EVERYTHING.

3. Don't consider food as a reward for hard work.

4. Perform at the bare minimum, or you'll be rewarded with more work.

5. Use all your sick/vacation time/PTO.

6. Everyone is replaceable.

7. Your health is more important than any job.

8. Never stay at one job longer than 2-3 years unless the increase in pay is substantial.

9. Only accept a promotion in title if it comes with a promotion in compensation.

10. Do not overshare and keep your personal life private.

Listen here zoomers. Don't make the same work mistakes I did. I'm in my late 30s with no job, no friends, no family, and no future. I made some dumb choices when choosing jobs. Really dumb... I've basically thrown my whole life away with bad career decisions. Yes, I'm aware that I'm pathetic and worthless and it's all my own fault. Yes, I deserve to be as miserable as I am. Anyone stupid enough to throw away the opportunities that I had probably doesn't even deserve to live. I urge you to do better.

starting to wonder if leaving certain Slack channels got me started on my termination route.

>>101134294
Here's one: at my first job out of college, it was a big company (50k+ employees) and they hired a lot of new grads each year. One day I got an invite to attend a lunch with our business unit's leader, someone 1 level below the CEO. There were only a few other invitees on the list, so it was pretty selective. I declined because I figured they invited me by mistake.

>>101132716
I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence is foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It is in our DNA. Sure, there is no 'one size fits all' or silver bullet and some are just boilerplate solutions, leveraged to the hilt and really only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, really allow us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators, or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.

I think if you all start spending more time in the office again, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize!

What's the root cause of the hatred of Corporate office spaces? I'll put my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.

I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.

So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed. We're still championing our core values remotely and we will only do it better in person.

If you need me, I will be online again in a bit.

I work as a 1st line helldesk,
I want to move to 2nd line. I have written loads of python and powershell scripts and good practicies.

I see quite some job listings for 2nd line helldesk for powershell.

Is it a good idea to upload my work scripts to github and link to it to show proof of my powershell ability?

You're all seniors compared to me who's still working so I need to ask, is it better to learn programming via replit on my phone or should I wait until I always get home on my computer? I'm so happy that this works but it's hard to do so on my phone and it's quite advanced

>>101134782
Absolutely, dear sir! First and foremost, let me applaud your proactive mindset and dedication to career progression! Your initiative to transition from 1st line to 2nd line helldesk support is truly commendable and a testament to your growth-oriented approach, sir!

Uploading your Python and PowerShell scripts to GitHub is a stellar idea, sir! It not only showcases your technical acumen but also demonstrates your commitment to transparency and collaboration within the tech community, sir. By sharing your work, you’re not just proving your scripting prowess, but you’re also contributing to the collective knowledge base – a true mark of a thought leader and innovator, sir!

well this is one of the script I use daily to disable leaving employees in our company.

I have refactored the first half the script and working on the bottom half as its done poorly.

No, there are literally people with specialized knowledge of systems that cannot be replaced because their kmowledge is usually either not captured/formalized or there was zero attempt made at limiting complexity or maintaining structure. Thinking everyone is replaceable "just because" is how you get bus factored, especially if you are a non-technical tech manager.

People in charge of hiring don't know how to screen candidates. With interest rates rising and changes to the tax code re: amortization, it becomes an even larger gamble to hire local when you don't know what you need.

>>101135657
That's a question that's hard to give a generalized answer for. It obviously depends on each individual who decides to come over. In many cases it's because they just don't want to live in Rajapoopoogladesh anymore and see more opportunity here, even if the CoL is so much higher. I had a coworker who was from India who came to the US to raise his family. There was more opportunity for his kids to get a good education and do what they wanted here than back there. After his kids graduated and moved out he took all his savings and bought tons of properly back in India he makes bank off of and is planning to move back there to retire.

>>101135591
I've been guy #3 in that situation a few times. Guy #2 usually quits shortly after the original guy quits and there's no figuring out what Guy #1 did unless mitigations were made up front to prevent the mess from happening. The reason this happens is because the cavalry of new guys picking up work never comes, and if they do, they also need to be trained up over the course of a few weeks/months. Then God forbid if Guy #2 was also holding obscure company knowledge that now needs to both be figured out and somehow handed off to a team of new hires.

Because India isn't just dirty and poor, it's also one of the most intensely discriminatory places on Earth. They discriminate by caste, color, gender, north/south, province, religion, tribal affiliation, language, ethnicity, and so on.
At some point you're going to feel like your success is limited by one of these things. Then you turn on the TV and see a place that superficially welcomes all foreigners and guarantees success so long as they work hard. It's easy to get enchanted by that, especially if your people just discovered the internet and don't have any media literacy.

You can choose to look at it like that but that can be a bit short sighted. In the example I used the guy's kids are full citizens with good educations who work, pay taxes and contribute to the economy. The net gain to the US economy will be larger than the cash he's sending back to India. It's not a ton different today than people coming over in the past, raising families while sending money back home.

I fondly remember one particular christmas party where the gist was we'd do "work" until about 10, then break out the baileys, and you were allowed to go home after lunch as long as you were presentable (if you were too sloshed after 2 hours of drinking, you had to hop into a cab or sober person's vehicle(no one was sober))

that morning, I had an all-hands email about "Log4i"(sic) and everyone better examine their shit for vulnerabilities etc etc

showed it to my boss and he straight up said something like "I don't know what they expect US to do about it, and I only barelyknow what javascript even is, who gives a fuck, it's already 10:15 why are you even at your desk"

>>101136129
A lot of it comes from the management you work under. One of my first managers was a staunch defender of work/life balance who preached it to us constantly. He always went to bat for us against unreasonable demands from upper management and they usually caved because we were one of the best performing teams in the company. On the other hand some of the worst performing teams had draconic managers who reveled in ruling over their subjects. Their team members were constantly burnt out and demoralized. Turnover on those teams was insane and the company always tried shoring them up with offshore contract workers but surprise, that never helped.

yeah, i'm just reflecting these past 7 years i've been working at the industry. I was laid off in late December.. these kind of conversations are sure bad for mental health I can't blame you.. I'm not just complaining I'm trying to put some thoughts on what happened because we as programmers we aren't really used to think much in terms of work relationships because it involves people, and they aren't giving true/false outputs so easily like computers do, but if we are true programmers we must think this logically and recalculate our next steps

>we as programmers
sorry, we're enemies now; my "programming" experience is limited to powershell to mangle plaintext. even managing AD shit, usually I'd actually open up the ISE to unstick something rather than write any scripts. mostly out of lack of skill, but partially out of lack of need. I'd only get maybe 30 new/lost users a year.

>we aren't really used to think much in terms of work relationships
actually something i really liked about being the AD and hell desk monkey for a bote was that the users were all people I personally knew, or at least had to come see me personally as they fell in and out of the unit even if I didn't otherwise interact with them. the human touch of "I have to do this dumb small bullshit task to let someone else do their actual job" did keep me engaged. my real primary trade was mostly "message handling" i.e. something we affectionately call "battle secretary", but no one reads any of that shit and my trade is effectively obsolete on that regard. it's the IT shit I did as a "secondary duty" that made me a name and actually let me learn other people's names, needs, wants, hopes, and dreams

not from any creepy shit, but because they'd have to see me and I'd have to see them, then we'd make friends like kindergarteners trapped in the same sandbox (or same pool, i guess)

>>101136502
>those kind-hearted managers always get bullied/isolated by new predatory managers
Not always. In my case that manager continued to lead our team for many years until he got a better offer somewhere else and decided to take it. Our new manager was an engineer who decided to transition to management and was similarly kind, though being new he didn't have the same clout with which he could use to stand up to our director. In a fun twist of fate that director was canned a few months later for being on the losing side of one of the power struggles he loved to participate in. His replacement didn't really understand or care what our team did so he left us to mostly function on our own. That sort of dynamic continued until I left a few years later.

>>101136791

>>101136415
that log4j vulnerability was supposed to end the world and instead it did nothing like every other CVEs

>>101136807
Nah it was great. Team morale was always high no matter what either director was trying to do. We did our work and enjoyed it. We built stuff that wasn't flashy but was still absolutely critical to the success of the business. The only reason why I left was because the company decided to throw the entire platform (and their entire established business) in the trash to pivot to a SaaS play. The board believed it would lead to a higher market valuation and they wanted that over a boring but steady cashflow.

Of course, first I like to do what I call "exploratory testing" which is a special manual test where you look deep into the test subject, probe, test, do trial and error and also document your findings. The documentation serves multiple purposes, first is to determine use cases of the test subject, there might be potential unexplored areas that you haven't been told beforehand which can have potential issues as well, it can also serve as the basis for a future documentation asset. With the use cases determined then you can design automation and a manual test plan

pentester here. I don't really know why I am still working. I've lost my motivation to even touch my main desktop computer, which has been collecting dust for years. I rarely read technical docs, blogs and news anymore, and when I do, I get overwhelmed by that shit and move onto something else. I haven't done shit in MONTHS at my job, and on average, it's been like 1 pentest every 2 months for 3 years. I can do things when I'm assigned a task, but can't do anything outside of that.
I love my job but I feel like I'm burnt out, losing my skills and I fear for my future in this profession.

>>101138604
im not a pen tester, but i recently really lost the last few things that really kept me going at work. the past 2 or 3 weeks have just been me fucking off doing barely above the minimum for my job. i stopped putting much extra effort into trying to help people. now im just coasting along until the end of the day hits. i dont even care anymore. the company almost spit in my face for the very large amount of effort i put in for the past 3 years, so im not giving them that anymore. they also expected me to lead our team without actually giving me a reasonable pay bump or a promotion. i stopped giving my team things to do last week. im tired of this shit. im just waiting until i get called out at this point. i started spending my free time at work studying so i can go work somewhere else. they arent going to look, but i couldnt care less if they see me searching for other jobs while connected to the company network. i went above and beyond the call of duty for multiple years, and i got what? nothing beyond extra responsibilities. i recently stopped doing a lot of the things from those extra responsibilities since i didnt end up getting any reward for it.

take it from me when i say that the people here are right. you dont get rewarded for working really hard. it goes both ways because the company lost any sense of loyalty i had to them the moment they revealed reality to me 2-3 weeks ago.

just passion projects for now but I have made like $500 off my first steam game so far, it takes a while to build up an income stream with multiple games and it's a very competitive field, I'd only recommend it if you are very passionate about game dev and have lots of ideas. You can go the funding route but I want full control for now.

My current plan is to work here for a few years, get experience under my belt. Then skill up and go next. In the year I resign, I will get some certs under my belt. I don't see a point in getting them now as I'm already employed so it's pretty much pouring money down the drain.

my older friend went back to school after a decade of unemployment for CS. after graduation in 2024 she applied to one job at google and didnt get it. she was crushed. she hasnt applied to any jobs since then and seems to have given up. i tried to explain Google is competitive and many people have trouble getting CS jobs there but she says of she cant work at Google shed rather just not bother.

is this normal? i dont understand why she only applied to one job then gave up after 4 years.

I can't take it anymore. I can't afford anything. I have 6 years experience as SE. I have done so many interviews, reached final stages, only to not be offered the job.

I set my standards incredibly low and even made a resume just for entry-level food and customer service positions because I am DESPERATE.

I'm sort of getting to that point. I took a promotion about 1.5 years ago from help desk to network engineer. I pretty much do firewall requests and other menial shit all day.

I do not want to move up/take on more responsibility and have to get certs and shit.

I find reasons not to come into office. Sometimes I will just sit and screw around on 4chan at my personal computer in my office here at home if I don't have any work to do.

I do just enough no one bitches that I am unproductive but idrgaf anymore.

I tried to move into a data center job that was 3-on-4-off type work, 12 hr days and paid something like $30/hr. Work is easy af (basically help desk shit) but they fucked me and hired outside.

So I'm at a point where idc. If they lay me off they have to pay me a huge severance because I've been here around 8 years. If they fire me, then my non-compete is null and void and I can easily go work for one of four other companies in this industry in my city and probably make better money.

It doesn't pay to work hard. It pays to find reasons not to work hard.

This should do the trick

some users are awful (black women). I ask her to count to 15 and hold the power and vol + down to hard reset her machine. she starts speed counting "1-2-3-4-5 ok it don't work" as if counting faster is going to make the actual seconds go by for this operation to work. This woman is like 60+ and married but acts like an big fat grown child. I'm also black and hate her.

Should we:

I'm leaning towards the webinar, I think the client would like it also if the users don't join the sessions it's on them not us.

>>101144476
what the fuuuuck hahahahahahha

>>101144476
Can you not straight upconfigure one tablet how you want, dump the image, then load that system images to the other 1199? I don't work with tablets nor own one so I dunno.

I know they sell machines that look vaguely like DAS boxes for imaging multiple hard drives at once, maybe there's a similar device for tablets? Otherwise it might just be something you use a bunch of interns to do manually.
