Seems like they could have handled that better. Sounds like perhaps the real issue is that the environment is a little bit toxic. Too many "they'd see this as rude" things that leave them free to do whatever they want.

I'm pretty sure that they are free to fire you. It comes with the obvious risks, but I've never heard of someone not being able to be fired unless they had a contract that stated otherwise.

If you like "old style" RPG I suggest you Doom & Destiny Advanced. Or the "first" one, just Doom & Destiny.

Interesting. Seems like they are kids in the real world but also become their alter egos in the D&D campaign they are playing? Is that right?

That sounds like Knights of Pen & Paper, ha ha.

Sounds like an 80s cartoon.

Newbies, newbies, everywhere.

Wow, just looking over this. That guy is clueless. And a lot of his posts don't actually make any sense.

So many new people. Welcome @Giggiux @TheVito @mattbagan @alboup @Rakesh-Kapoor @RestoronixDavid @RestoronixSean

@Dashrender said in Going over SFF: what do you think of micro business-grade desktops?:

I deployed my first two at this company 2 years ago.

Sadly we still need DVD drive in a lot of places... So SFF are our mainstay.

You can't use ISOs for what you need?

We should have an ML Community list for what laptops have been tested with which distros and who has gotten things to work.

Well, my first interview is Tuesday, even before my final pay check is due :)

Congrats. Doing what?

Branch IT support for a Fortune 500 company in Columbus, OH. Lots of opportunity for promotion from within the company. Also, the same company my brother-in-law works for, so it was easy to get my name in front of the proper people instead of having to get past HR first.

Knowing people helps... My first ever IT job I got of my own recognizance, turns out I was friends with the guy's kid, ha ha ha.

I'm too much of a homebody to ever know anyone. All of my friends are all over the country now

So next time you job hunt... look where your friends live! :-D

Indeed

I've yet to get a job in IT that was not through my contacts

Contacts are really the big secret of IT jobs. Seems like most everyone gets their jobs this way, often even newbies.

@Reid-Cooper I'm wondering if they were calling a toll-line. That's the only thing that makes sense in this instance.

Does Cuba have toll lines? They might not.
