I am not LGBTQA+. I'm just some boring cis.
I approve of this. As long as anyone is incapable of doing things that others can based on gender or other trivialities like race or skin tone, the fight continues.
Also, but equally as important is bodily autonomy. You want to do, or not do something with your own person? Neat. As long as it doesn't harm anyone else, you go for it.
You're correct. We're too busy and couldn't possibly give any less of a shit what you're up to.
The only time we care, at all, is if someone makes it our job to care. Usually management cracking down on some bullshit, looking for a reason to give someone the boot.
Unless management tells me that I'm supposed to care, I don't.
Just please, for the love of all things digital, do not do anything illegal on work computers. I still don't give a shit that you can or do, what I don't want, is for you to get caught and I have to do a forensic investigation of your system. That's a whole pain in my ass that I don't need.
In general, do not do illegal stuff, but if you're going to do anything illegal, think of your IT guy and do it on your own devices.
I don't, but the windows SAM is laughable "protection" at best.
Working in IT, I see far too many of your passwords, and you suck at passwords.
With that being said, if you use Windows and your hard drive isn't encrypted, it is ridiculously easy for me to break into your account, access all of your files and take full control of your computer.... Provided I can get physical access to it.
Stop using the same passwords for everything. Do you want to get "hacked" because that's how you get "hacked". Disclaimer, this isn't hacking, it's social engineering attacks with extra steps. The people trying to exploit you and steal your accounts put little to no effort into getting your stuff specifically. You just happened to get caught in their net.... Good luck, you're fucked.
Probably should have had a backup, and used a password manager huh?
Also it's ridiculously easy to lock yourself out of your own accounts by enabling 2FA/MFA. Most people have zero idea what is even involved in 2FA/MFA and the vast majority do everything in their power to turn it off. They would rather expose their account to the risk of it being taken over by some scammer, than be bothered to enter a six-digit code sometimes.
The reality is, as an admin, I can, with a fair amount of ease, monitor everything you do, when you do it and for how long you do it. The only reasons I don't is that 1. I'm pretty sure there are laws about it (but you'd have to prove I did it to have those laws enforced... GL, YF.) 2. Morally it's "wrong" to do so. And last but not least, I wouldn't give a single shit about what you do with your computer, whether it's a work machine, or personal system. Just don't make it my problem and we'll get along splendidly.
Also, the number of you people who use company laptops and cellphones for your personal correspondence and/or your only computer/phone is kinda ridiculous. Understand this: any company assets, and all the data held within, are wholly, immediately, irrevocably and perpetually, property of the company. So any texts, including sexts, dick pics, nudes, lude messages, personal banking info, emails sent to you personally,... All the data that is sent to, and stored on, the device that work provided to you, is property of the company.
Given that, and what I've seen when these devices are ripped from your hands when you inevitably leave the position, whether voluntarily or not, you all should be more ashamed of yourselves.
Y'all need Jesus or something. IDK, I don't believe in the guy, but you need something to straighten you out. Holy fuck.
Just release them straight into the board meetings.
Fair enough.
This is what I would suggest.
Looking for grants and bursaries for the effort is something that should always happen. You may get lucky, or not, either way it will probably cost less than the same from an American university.
I mean, I haven't done this, but it seems logical since OP is looking to further their education.
Those that want to leave are probably not the ones you want to avoid.
IMO, anyone who is awake and aware of the situation in any capacity, and can think rationally has, or is, considering leaving, or has left already.
It's the people who agree and are happy with what is happening that you should probably avoid, and they don't want to leave.
Sadly true, also the reason that most c-levels are also assholes. They want power and money and being an asshole is damn near a requirement to do so.
This seems pretty on-brand for burr.... He's always kind of rooted for the "little guy" so to speak. He's also blunt and doesn't really give a shit if you don't like what he has to say.
It probably did, but bluntly, when were already this far down, getting worse isn't really noteworthy.
I agree, this is simply stating fact.
