Not OC: Just found this on my old hard drive while grabbing some other stuff.
Only people I ever have a problem with are Project Managers. I have had way more bad experiences with utterly psychotic PMs than PMs who are actually good at their job. Everybody else is super cool, but I swear all of you are alcoholics. At least Sales pays for the drinks?
A good PM is rare because as soon as you get one, they’ll get poached within a few months.
Or burned out because they get pulled into every project that’s gone off the rails.
Yup, before I went into tech I worked at an architecture firm and we had this one absolutely amazing PM from Australia who was smart, a clear communicator, and so much more on top of his shit then any other PM, and he burnt out and quit and moved back to Australia after like 2 years because they just kept throwing him into the absolute biggest messes since he was clearly the best at cleaning them up.
He’s also the one who I got drunk at an airport bar with and just repeatedly urged me to leave the company and go somewhere well run … there were pretty clear signs he wasn’t enjoying his assignments.
Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.
If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.
The great promise of the cloud was to outsource sysadmins to be Microsoft and Amazon’s problem.
It’s almost like marketing makes it sound like it’s a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.
They said that about computers going to make books disappear forty years ago… They never printed so many books that attempted to explain how those damn computers worked!
At the cost of getting new sysadmins who are less numerous, but ask for more money, and best of all, you get to pay Microsoft and Amazon to train them!
Not only that, but it’s no longer your problem when its in the cloud. You can blame the cloud for everything!
“Yeah we’re familiar with this
issuedesign, and have opened 17 support requests and upvoted 5 user voice posts to Microsoft about it. But hey we have this workaround that is not maintainable that you can use meanwhile”
