@Obsolesce said in Engineer title alternative:

IT Admin / Software Developer seems most accurate. What are you engineering in IT? Are you software engineering or developing?

In IT, I engineer production and test environments. I do administration if there is something that has to get escalated to me.

Software developer would probably be more accurate. Some projects I am mostly just a developer, on others I participate in the engineering.

It kind of sounds like DevOps more than IT admin

VOIP @JaredBusch

One would think that I am known, and he wants to hire shit work for pennies on the dollar.

That would be true considering he deals with Upwork.

@pete-s I guess, still seems like "participation trophies". I'm at the point where I'd rather just have the cash or time off and not deal with this kind of game.

It's not a participation trophy, because everyone gets a participation trophy. This is actually earned, and the acknowledgement is worth it to company and to employees.

Follow the money, right? Good catch!

Definitely a good thing overall, but as expected something is always in it for Google

I am not certain, but I think they would like to stay in the O365 realm. Though, I will make note of that...

What ever happened to just sending a company wide "Thanks Karen" emails?

Why does a project like this even exist?

Kudos are a big part of many companies, and it's not hard to imagine why. Many companies will actually pay some bonuses or gift cards for kudos. A $50 visa gift card is an investment well spent when you have someone busting their ass. I have been on the kudos side and when you get a small token of thanks beyond a "Karen" email it means alot.

So I am thinking this makes search engine data much more valuable when your ISP isnt able to sell your information as easily.

Park it in the fridge and wait at least 5 days, 7 or more is best.

Everything ok?

I'm not sure I understand the resentment on mangolassi of purchasing software. I've worked in many environments and FOSS is not always the best option for real companies. They are situation where it makes sense, but there are alot of situations when it doesn't.

SMB doesn't factor in IT labor costs very often unless they are outsourcing, and even then they rarely think past next week. I've seen mature FOSS applications be terrible in an enterprise environment and cost the enterprise wayyyyy more than just paying for software.

I don't get the elitist attitude of completely avoiding paid software solutions, although I guess it makes sense for a company that sells IT man hours to use FOSS because shut is guaranteed to break and you won't have support. So you have to go to your NTG or whatever IT labor you use and open your pockets at $150-300 an hour when you have an issue.

At least his response was helpful. Taking a screenshot of you having gateway to .50 isn't a convincing argument.

How is it not convincing? It's empirical proof that .1 isn't reserved for the purported purpose.

If Dustin has a screenshot it must be undeniable evidence of something.

Honestly, I have never worked at a single company where IT supports printers, other than initial setups.

Must be fucking nice that the accountants are installing toner and removing paper jams.

Smart accountants know that IT handling printers is a waste of fucking money. Why pay someone $100k+ a year and have them work on printers?

Really - it shouldn't be IT fixing it, I think Scott would say that's Bench's job... and while some DC bench techs can make $100K/yr... most are probably more in the 30-60K range.

Do you consider yourself bench/IT or some combination? Don't you work at a place where you'd fill all of these gaps? Would you want Frank the tank ripping paper jams out the printers you support and potentially making a bigger issue of it? Costing more money by said printer being offline.

I dont give a F about Frank or his printer because the printer is under contract. He can call the printer contract vendor and they will send someone out

Again, we weren't and aren't discussing printers that have a a maintenance contract if someone from that business is ordering supplies. God you're a moron.

Wtf are you talking about the thread is literally about a service contract which means they replace toner

@DustinB3403 put the keyboard down and walk away..

What?

You have a ton of posts, but once again add zero value to this thread. The OP is talking about Printer leasing / Maintenance which means that they wont be buying toners anymore. So why the fuck are we talking about purchasing, like IT would even be involved in purchasing toner in any size business?

IT is responsible for the printers and ensuring they are functional, thus have a say in what should be used in them.

Honestly, I have never worked at a single company where IT supports printers, other than initial setups. This dates back even to 2006.

I have also never heard of anybody getting approval for buying $100 toner. Like seriously, wtf. Think for a fucking second. Who is going to pay people to go through approval processes when orders are under $500

@CCWTech what it doesn't tell you is if the 12th user will cost zero, $200, $2000... no idea.

Some good news. I just had a user on the RepairShopr FB page tell me he has 16 users and it's actually $20.00 per user per month not $200.00.

I can't be the only person who has noticed this. Very odd for them to have a typo like this.

Maybe they try to get away with it? I mean it's an absurd typo IMO
