Absolutely love the senior leader meltdown over how none of the offshore folks are here to deal with crap when he wants it. Same dude who gleefully went along with offshoring. Eat shit, you fired my friends.
Jan de Muijnck-HughesAlthough #Teams/#Office365 *does* have some nice features for collaboration and #CorpLife, for collaborative plain text hacking it is shit.
You can share/edit Markdown files through Office365, but you cannot edit collaboratively.
On an online project meeting:
+ I first reached for Office365;
+ I tried a CodiMD instance from another project meeting, but I did not have the right credentials;
+ I tried CERNs instance, but work does not support eduGAIN!
+ So went with HackMD
I wish work would invest in self-hosting services that would help Academic Productivity but with Digital Sovereignty at heart (CodiMD, Indico, Overleaf, Mastodon, PeerTube, Overleaf (self-hosted), openDeck)
@ai6yr @briankrebs This echos of corporations going gonzo for the cloud “put everything in the cloud, the cloud is so cool. Cloud! Cloud! Cloud!”followed super predictably by “oh no these bills are terrible, you don’t need all of this data that you actually need! Pull most of it back!” #CorpLife
BRB, I need to complete my emergency evacuation procedures training... As a fully remote employee.

Work-from-home allows next-level work-pooping. Nothing like being on a mandatory con-call that you have no input for, muting your mic (and, as necessary, killing your camera!) and then toddling off the the lavatory to drop kids off at the pool while a con-call goes on. Doesn't matter if its a basic dial-in or a Teams/WebEx/etc. video call. (📎1)
Brian DavisLogging onto a meeting with no agenda, whose title is just a couple unfamiliar acronyms. Probably would have marked it spam if my boss hadn't given me a heads up. 🙄
Something I’ve learned in the corporate world is biz bros HAAATE when their industry is subject to “commoditization.” That’s their buzz for ‘waahhhh, our competitors are competing / any differentiation or advantage we had is gone, so we can’t overcharge anymore’
ANYWAY. All of this #AIshit? It’s already mostly commoditized. Some outliers, sure. But that’s got to mean we’re in a bubble, right?
Totally bizarre how "I used AI" in every context except at work results in [deserved] scorn.
But talk about outsourcing your expertise to a stupid machine to the bosses at work and it's met with applause... From the leaders. Peers know better and are deeply skeptic.
I wish I was joking. I am not.
One of our test systems has been down all day. Folks are losing their minds. So I'm on the call where they are trying to figure it out and it seems an AI security tool deleted a bunch of stuff. And didn't leave logs. At least not apparent ones.
"Sorry for the duplicate meeting invite. I used copilot for the first one, and it missed a bunch of people. It won't let me delete the first one."
