      Definitely on SW.

      Totally not in person, though.

          No certs, no education (in IT), no experience, no posting on IT social media, no home lab, lots of time wasted on things that show he's not researched properly before jumping in, literally less than we use to choose high school kids!

          Sounds like a coworker of mine. No ambition in IT, texts his wife all day long, doesn't even close out tickets on the helpdesk. The only reason why he's here is that he's buddies with my boss.

          Well, given that they are happy to keep him, seems like it would be silly for him to work harder, right?

          But that is the problem. The only person willing to keep him is my boss and only because he's his buddy and a warm body. Nobody else is really happy with him at all.

          With the exception of me and one co-worker you could say the same thing about everyone here. My company is not interested in improving things to the degree that is required.

          Yes, I would. Excellence is always top down, not bottom up.

            I think it's more people not being able to detach themselves form their ideas, which is what you are really attacking

              i didn't even attack anything. he asked why something was broken, I showed where it was broken. I didn't even attack his ideas, just repeated back what he had told me.

                    He disappeared. Hopefully he either learned all he needed and ran off to study, or figured out that he is in WAY over his head.

                      and he's personally attacking you now

                      What else is new?

                      I think Scott is a very misunderstood guy on SW or maybe in general

                      Definitely on SW.

                      It takes folks a while to get used to you and realize that you're not personally attacking them.

                      Which indicates a total lack of professional interaction experience. Just not pandering and condescending often sets people off. Do they actually want me to just mock them?

                      They simply do not expect to feel like they've been thrown under the bus with their first interaction with you, lol.

                      I agree that we shouldn't pander to folks, nor should we be condescending towards them (their ideas). I just know that it seems to me that your responses in a deluge of posts tend to put people on the defensive rather than hearing what you're trying to say.

                        Once you restate someone's stupid ideas for them to see, they feel stupid and backpedal rapidly instead of going "oh, I see what you are saying..."

                          Found an old spreadsheet where I priced out sip.us. Looks like per-minute pricing for Twilip and Voip.ms is a better deal. Has anyone used sip.us and can speak of the quality of their service?

                              Not I.

                              I mean there are a ton of providers out there. I found a few solid ones, and until something brings a better deal to my attention, I am quite happy with the providers currently used.

                                  Leave Windstream or leave Windstream and also replace the existing PBX and phones?

                                  Those two different conversations.

                                    @JaredBusch Leave Windstream and replace current PBX (Altigen) and phones. I ought to have been more clear.

                                      Why do they have to be related? Personally I'd make them two separate projects. Sure they are related, but they are also separate.

                                        @Dashrender [assuming you read this before the edit] It looks like I can configure another SIP provider in the Altigen system (assuming I have the necessary licensing to allow such a configuration). Ultimately I want to be free of Altigen.

                                            @Dashrender Assuming I can configure this Altigen system to connect to a SIP provider, it could be two projects.

                                            Why do you need that assumption? If you are forced to keep the Altigen, I'm guessing (I'll admit this is a pure guess) that you can get a SIP to PRI gateway device that could be put in place. Granted, you could have all kinds of issues with it, I have no clue...
