That is the way, @Necromnomicon ! Good show!

TheSaneWriter, in Don't follow the manual, follow what I say!

This is why a paper trail is so important. When shit hits the fan they will always try to blame you, so you need written or audio proof that they issued the order.

Tolookah, in Don't follow the manual, follow what I say!

The thing with incompetent managers is that they don’t realize when you’re asking for a paper trail. Good on you for getting the instruction on paper.

That is the best part; such confident incompetence coming back to bite them in the ass.

LanternEverywhere,

Yup, always CYA - Cover Your Ass.

Personally i would've also gotten him on audio recording saying it, and then emailed that audio recording to myself through gmail to prove the time stamp of it was before you did the action. Also it would be good to take a picture of the work log and gmail it to yourself too. When records like work logs and corporate emails are in the hands of the company, they sometimes "disappear" when it would prove them wrong and you right.

Aw that is so cute! And you were so smart as a kid as well!

nebudchnz, in Do not Think!

what kind of boss tells their employees not to think? lol

SpezCanLigmaBalls, in [REPOST] Boss did not like the look of the "bulk Mailing" stamp, told me to remove it. Cost the company over $220K.

groupofcrows,

you’re welcome! it’s a good chance for me to revisit some of my most liked posts.

eee, in [REPOST] Our head of IT needed a new password, and an explanation of due process

In a frantic tone, she declared all of this process to be nonsense (nonsense we had to work with over the last 7 months, so yeah, no shit) and all but ordered me to send her the password manually to her private phone number.

Execs always want security for everyone else except them.

They want security for them and against everyone else.

eee,

everyone thinks they are special.

TronLives,

I had to lock an upper manger account for suspicious logins and since I didn’t know him personally I had to get his boss to verify his phone number etc etc, he was cool about it though.

Good for sticking to your guns, you know damn well their would be hell to pay if you didn’t!

arcrust, in [REPOST] You might like to back up that decision...

That’s absolutely wild. I bet if he owned a garage, he’d expect you to be able to fix a car in the dark.

Question tho, as someone not in IT, how do you handle HIPPA policies. Clearly you have to have access, but I assume the info would just be backed up seperately from other data.

Steeve,

I worked as a Data Engineer in health insurance for almost a decade. I’m Canadian, but we have similar laws and the answer is basically that every employee signs a lot of NDAs. Data access should be limited to what you need to do your role, and any data that leaves the company has to be totally stripped of personal identifying information (usually some form of data masking).

That being said, I never found it difficult to get access to data, it was usually just another NDA to sign. I did work with government policies for a bit where I had to go to a government facility and get finger printed and all that before they gave me access, that was interesting. I work in tech now and the controls around data access are a lot more serious, gotta jump through a lot of hoops to get access to anything. Probably because of the scrutiny tech is under these days.

BelleAriel, in r/WellThatSucks only.Vaccume cleaners

Hi it’s BelleAriel. Please make me a mod lol

sailing_bookdragon, in "Unless the house is on fire or you are hurt, do not interrupt me on the phone!"

Why do I suspect something quite similar lead to my father saying in these circumstances to write down (or just the topic) what I wanted to say.

simplecyphers, in You need to know what I'm going to do with MY money? Ok...

Inspiring haha.

I wonder what influence the stated reason had (if any) on the approval. What did he use it on?

AA5B,

When I was in my my twenties, a few months into my first full time career job, I felt like I could splurge a little to celebrate. The problem was my credit card was stuck at “college student” limits, basically useless, and my salary was still going toward the basics of setting up my independent life.

My attempt to raise my credit limit was rejected, my attempt at a personal loan was rejected. Maybe they would have anyway, maybe I just needed to wait more, but I regret answering “buy a nice stereo”. It does sound like the epitome of careless spending to buy electronic gadgets beyond your immediate means. Even back then, your answer mattered.

The reason I’m convinced it mattered was replaying my conversation with my credit union in my head years later: it surely seemed like she was politely trying to get me to give a different answer.

jacktherippah, in "Unless the house is on fire or you are hurt, do not interrupt me on the phone!"

Awww such a cute story.

thegreatgarbo, in [REPOST] Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW

The ONLY reason I have gone back the last couple weeks is to read a couple of the entertaining malicious compliance subs. r/videos mods rock!

loz,

Getting rick-rolled in text form was a fun new experience.

EnderWi99in, in [REPOST] Don’t Want A Woman Working On Your Car? Have Fun Waiting

I've never understood anyone gatekeeping things they like. Wouldn't you want to date someone who is into the things you're into? I think it's changing with younger generations, but when I grew up I remembered hearing the same guys saying they wish they could date a woman who is into Star Wars and video games, but then would gatekeep any woman they met who was into those things as if they are just faking it.

dystop,
@dystop@lemmy.world avatar

Me neither. I don't care who does it, as long as it's done right.

escaped_cruzader,

Wouldn’t you want to date someone who is into the things you’re into?

There are things more important to match on than hobbies and interests

Also, I’m enough of me, so I do not want a pair too much like me

Rampsquatch,

At least sometimes, when you see a guy gatekeeping like that it means they think girls don't like them because they like Star Wars or whatever. But in reality girls don't like them because of personality flaws, or hygiene issues, or any other reason that is actually something they could fix if they cared to.

XeroxCool,

No, they don't want matching hobbies. Insert an alternate hobby below as needed

  1. Mechanic time is actually masked alone time
  2. Mechanic time is actually masked bro time
  3. They're insecure bad mechanics
  4. They're insecure good mechanics
  5. They're worried the woman won't find her natural calling being a housewife and might brush off those duties to the man if he can't fulfill his mechanical duties
  6. They're worried the woman won't be dependent on them for "very difficult" work that's also somehow super "easy for him"
  7. They might have to intellectually debate the woman on a topic instead of just being able to coldly fuck her

I find this general mindset mad that modern mechanics are just "parts replacers" while they themselves also only replace parts. Yeah, the OEMs have spent decades troubleshooting and detailing repairs to make an entire encyclopedia of fixing the cause so you don't have to.
