07:09 < Evilpig> New manager has predictably started down the micro-management path of hell.  he sent a request to our entire group this morning to share our outlook calendars with him so he can see our availabilty instead of just using the built in scheduling assistant.  what he wants is to be able to see all of our calendars on his.
07:19 <@opticron> that definitely sounds helish
07:20 <@opticron> a calendar isn't even usable at that point
07:21 < Evilpig> his response to me
07:21 < Evilpig> I only see time blocks, not actual information as you see associated with my name.  In order for me to see the same information, you will need to set the parameters that I sent. 
07:21 < Evilpig> Please let me know if you have any further questions. 
07:21 < Evilpig> fuck you, fuck your family, fuck everything about you, you micro-managing prick
07:22 < Evilpig> I've had to stop myself responding multiple times now asking if I should set him up as having access to my medical records too
07:33 < Evilpig> look who just got an invite for a daily meeting to discuss the tasks I'm working on that day.....
08:02 < Evilpig> Dolemite: gonna send you this update later for your polish
08:03 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
08:04 <@Dolemite> DAILY meeting!?
08:04 <@Dolemite> Fuck that noise
08:04 <@Dolemite> Oh
08:04 <@Dolemite> good mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
08:06 < Evilpig> he's only put out one request this morning that was reasonable.  "please notify me of your working hours"
08:07 <@Dolemite> my_working_hours = ! your_working_hours
08:12 <@Dolemite> ST DISCO time
08:25 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Principal, not Principle.   You should also mention that you added in the Active Directory Integration module for openDCIM.
08:25 <@Dolemite> I would try to put as much DevOps slant on your current duties as possible since that's the new hotness
08:25 <@Dolemite> Need to get you to play around with some K8s
08:26 <@Dolemite> But your automation for certificates could easily be spun as a DevOps project
08:27 <@Dolemite> Also would talk it up as an improvement to the security process
08:27 <@Dolemite> If you end up in the market, you have to play buzzword bingo
08:28 <@Dolemite> Now back to Species 10-C
08:32 <@Mirage> w00t... 4% raise starting 04/22.  Also because Dell-EMC did so well last year we're getting a 135% modifier to our annual bonus.
08:52 <@Mirage> Was looking at this post and noticed something I thought was strange and had to google.  Can you spot it?  https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/ele/d/anna-vintage-mid-century-modern-rca/7450648524.html

08:57 < Evilpig> Dolemite: i'd say odds are strong that i'm about to start applying
08:57 < Evilpig> this micromanagement bullshit will 100% lead to an HR incident
08:57 < Evilpig> guaranteed
08:58 < Evilpig> I've been angry enough this morning already that i've had to walk away from the desk multiple times to keep me from responding and throwing gas on it

09:26 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Well there's plenty of opportunity out there
09:26 <@Dolemite> But yeah, corporate culture is something you gotta look out for.   Micromanagement is downright toxic.
09:44 <@Dolemite> We've got a good setup in my team.   As long as I get my job done, I get left alone.   My last two 1:1 meetings scheduled with my group leader have been cancelled.
10:37 < Evilpig> I have been really happy with my team, we've historically been very efficient and gotten praise for pulling off some complex crap and making it look easy. :-/  this is bullshit

12:25 <@Mirage> ..."handsome sum of up to $2,000 (£1,523) per day - plus bonus - to help rescue families from an increasingly grim conflict."
12:25 <@Mirage> There's a new job for you.  =)
12:41 < Evilpig> I'd take it right about now
12:42 < Evilpig> school just called and sabrina has been written up for a second time for touching another student
12:42 < Evilpig> AND as an added bonus she got on the teacher's computer and started playing some random music after being told to get off youtube
12:56 <@Mirage> is "touching another student" as abritrarily stupid as it sounds, or is it more than just touching?
13:23 < Evilpig> she hugged another kid that didn't want to be hugged
13:23 < Evilpig> same kid as last time
13:52 < Evilpig> oh shit!  off with her head!
13:56 <@Mirage> Damn, that's almost as bad as the shit Ed, NL, and I were accused of by that jackass w/ ACCRE who was really just looking for some payout because he was about to get his ass fired
13:57 <@Dolemite> Is that what ended up being the reason for that shit?
13:57 <@Dolemite> He just wanted some coin to buffer him until he got a new job?   Sheez.
13:57 <@Mirage> Dolemite: yeah, I heard that through the grapevine
13:58 < Evilpig> It's a legit complaint. She needs to keep her damn hands to herself.  If this kid would do something about it other than complain to the teachers it would stop
13:59 < Evilpig> as it is they won't tell who the complaint was from, just that a student has made a second complaint about her hugging them when they don't want it.  so they write it up as "inappropriate touching"
13:59 < Evilpig> if this kid would say no, or pop her in the nose, this would be done.  but that kid would get suspended for hitting her because that's so much worse
14:00 < Evilpig> instead of learning boundaries from getting hit, sabrina just keeps doing it.  all reward, no real punishment
14:02 <@Mirage> Dolemite: the primary complaint per my interview w/ the HR guy was that I had touched/squeezed his arm one day when he was carrying servers down to the NOC to have racked as well as made a comment about how strong he was and how big his muscles were and which made him feel uncomfortable.
14:13 <@Mirage> I like how I have our change manager trained well enough that when she actually sees me join she does whatever change(s) I'm there to represent first because she knows it's gonna be quick
