Calligra was always okay. Not great, but certainly not bad.

Probably the main thing that puts me off moving jobs is that it means moving in to someone else's shit, which you then have to spend months, or even years, sorting out.

This is actually my favorite part.

If the new boss is open to upgrades and fixing everything up and implementing better documentation and records and stuff, it can be a lot of fun "restoring" the old thing, or "modernizing".

To me it has the same appeal as restoring a car or a run down house project or something. There is some enjoyment in tinkering everything back to life and putting on a fresh coat of paint and blowing out the dust. Plus there is just a lot of work to do, versus when everything is smooth and automated and you find yourself getting bored.

I agree, the "fixing it" is one of the best parts.

Seems pretty clear that UBNT has gone public with this at this point.

That's kind of what I meant. Either you should be watched over and not need to prove yourself... or you should be trusted and only do it when you want to.

I'm watching the videos trying to figure out what it does. Looks like a decent product but haven't seen any single pane of glass stuff yet.

Did you at least find one compelling feature?

Not yet.

Well Nick, I think you just answered it when you said "I want to hear from them in regard to ideas for improvement, if there is anything else I could be doing to help them be more effective in their position, etc." Make that the starting point of the meeting, and see what they have to say. If you're as personable as a manager as you are as a colleague, I'm sure you'll get some useful feedback. Of course, you can follow that up with your own feedback, whether it's responding to their thoughts or mentoring through praising their strengths and offering advice to bolster their weaknesses. At least that's pretty much how I have done my own, which I have gotten a decent response from. And it goes without saying that mine incorporate a fair amount of wit and sarcasm, as well. Never forget that part. Gotta have fun. 😉

I studied a lot of the problems with metrics while doing my graduate management work but hadn't seen these examples before.

Awesome to see more job postings going up here. And welcome to the community too! Great to see new people.
