I did when I went back in the next day to pick up my stuff. The younger ones were shocked while the older ones thought I exaggerated by quitting. They agreed with the fact that I was cheating saying that I was raising the standard to a point where they couldn’t compete. I still remember our accountant “if everybody did what you did, then the older ones like me wouldn’t have a place to work because you younger people and your computers took away our chance to work”. I do get being afraid for your future and having a resistance to change and low adaptability, so for ones over 50 I really do understand where they were coming from. They were barely learning how to use Facebook at that point…
Yeah I can understand where the older folks are coming from. I'm just a bit disappointed in your coworker "C" that got mad at you after you guys worked together so well/efficiently. Maybe it was a heat of the moment anger thing. Regardless, a bittersweet story!
The fake information reminds me of the last time I went to the grocery store. The cashier said to the woman in front of me something like "Thank you Mrs. Smith" so I assumed she was a regular and the cashier knew her. When I checked out I fished out my rewards card and the cashier scanned it and said "Thank you Mr. Richards, have a nice day." I almost said "Thanks but who is Richards?" But then I remembered I am Richards, that is the fake name I filled out years ago but no one has ever used it (and are they supposed to?)
As a fed, anything plugged into a port is automatically logged and checked, and can result in a nastygram or more serious infraction. We periodically get emails about inappropriate connections - we can't even use the USB to charge our work phones.
Then came the email that told us they knew about X instances of mouse jigglers and told us to cut it out. I wonder if managers got notified.
Luckily my boss and colleagues all recognize Teams limitations on the idle status and we just get our work done. I'm not going to attempt to game it - but then I work when I say I'm working and the job gets done, so management isn't breathing down our necks about idle status.
In the early days of the pandemic, I got a low-tech version of that: I had one of those electric desk fans that move from left to right and back again to keep a room cool. I took an old wire coat hanger and bent it to attach one part to the fan, and one part to my mouse. As the fan moved, so did my mouse, so I always appeared active in Teams.
Software solutions like powershell scripts are neat, but they can be detected by IT. They can't really detect a hardware solution without a lot of digging though, and as long as I'm still getting my work done, they have no reason to dig.
I quickly stopped caring about it though. Like OP, I go inactive for long periods of time, but fortunately, my manager is smart enough to recognize that my work's still getting done, so he doesn't care at all. Same thing for my direct reports: As long as we continue to meet deadlines, I don't care if they're working 40 hours / week or 10 hours / week.
/r/gifs currently is following suit! If you still have a reddit account go vote ASAP! (Also unsubscribe from all your "business as usual" subs as possible, immediately, if you can't delete your account immediately for whatever reason)
Took a peek and it doesn't look like there's any recent posts on /r/gifs ? Like, sort by new and everything other that 5 reddit is killing itself posts is at least 19 days old. What's up with that?
the grocery store I use gave me a card and an application to fill out. I never filled out the application and the card still works. I have the card stored in google wallet. it's been a few years. thanks for the free money lol
