More layoffs today. Looks like I need to start looking for a new job from the amount of downsizing they are doing.
Wow, I wish you the best of luck... maybe you'll find something you like better. Makes me thankful we are still operating at full capacity (remotely), taking on new customers, etc. Our company has no plans to be back in the office until at least June 1 or later, despite the idiocy of our governor.
If you can do that - one would/could, perhaps should - why would you ever go back?
I asked that of my boss - why bring these people back? Fire those that can't work from home, leave the rest and hire replacements.. then take that space and get rid of it, or turn it into more medical services space, make money from it instead of just an expense. These people don't NEED to be in the office.

Same question I've been pondering lately... I've had to go in every morning (just in case a power button needs to be pressed or whatever), but everyone else is doing fine from home. Well, I can't speak to whether or not they are actually doing their jobs from home, but I know they have the ability to do so.

We've lost some customers (that are no longer in business or whatever) but yeah, we are lucky that we keep bringing on more, too.

If you can do that, why did anyone ever go in?

Our customers are gub'ment offices (property tax assessors), so no loss of anything. We hit a new customer crunch time right as the quarantine was starting, and we've been onboarding our tails off.

No all jobs are for working for home and that is something people cant wrap around the idea...

This is one of our problems. Using FOP2 it's pretty clear we have at least one operator who doesn't seem to be doing their job while home.. skipping way to many phone calls.

yeah, there is zero actual chance they will be left home. they dont' want to fire and get new staff, not the supervisor, but above her.

Just order the parts list for building a MagicMirror with my son. We're pretty pumped!

Time for me to buy some new drives and make a software raid for my plex server.
One of the old ass drives must have puked.
And the even older raid card is such a piece of shit now. It was never “good” but it has worked for for than a decade. Came out of a backup appliance we bought in 2008.

Did some research on getting a 3D printer. But decided not to bother as once I've used it to print a few things we wouldn't use it again

Find a local makerspace. Should be a few near you.

Those seem so expensive and time consuming. Not much better than just buying a 3D printer for a month of use and then selling it used or just holding on to it.

maintaining a 3D printer can be a HUGE PITA, for a small number of prints definitely makes it worth paying others to just handle the print, you only pay for a successful print, if you own the printer, and it fails, you loose those funds, etc.
