“Beans”

There were several ridiculous things she got away with and these weren’t even what was cited as the reason they fired her.

-Stole the company Thanksgiving turkey

-She would take every single snack in the office and shove them all inside her desk.

-At one point she was trying to build a gaming PC at home and took the RAM out of her work desktop. She then came running to IT because her computer wouldn’t work.

-Fried the wiring in a whole section of cubicles by running multiple plug-in heaters at once.

Yep. Everyone has learning moments where they’re an asshole at some point though. At the time I was concerned about keeping my job. I think the part that matters is if you reflect and learn from the situation.

I once had HR and my boss tell me to disable a user’s account at 8am because they were going to fire this woman. 8:30 rolls around and she shows up, super upset she can’t sign into anything. I tell her I’ll see what I can find, thinking that will delay the inevitable.

Nope. Her team lead took another two hours before he could be bothered to get to her. When I asked everyone what I should say to the increasingly stressed woman, I was told I should lie and say that there’s a domain controller issue.

They finally got around to firing her and she gave me the worst look on her way out the door. She definitely had it coming for some of the stuff she did, like stealing an entire Thanksgiving turkey meant to share with the whole company. But that is probably the worst moment I’ve had in my IT career so far.

Now if someone tells me to pull a stunt like that I just say no. They need to figure out their plan instead of forcing IT to lie.

Three 21 inch 1080p monitors. Two horizontal and one to the right that’s vertical. All on arms to keep it clean.

You know how people don’t like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?

Yeah, you’re just doing that for your own self hosted service.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh, I do both. My whole point was to avoid partitioning one physical disk to install both OSes on.

My current setup: -Windows 11 installed on one NVMe. This is only for playing games that absolutely won’t work any other way. -Pop OS on another NVMe. This is my main OS. -Windows 11 VM in VirtualBox for work stuff and normal applications (Adobe…)

Proc is a Ryzen 5 9600x. Machine currently has 64gb DDR5 RAM at 5200mhz.

That’s effectively the same as what I described, is it not? The only difference is you’re using GRUB to choose what to boot into. It’s still a two disk setup with Windows separate from the Linux disk.
