Meenzer 14055 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Started a new job today. Completely forgot how shit work is. I have to wear a shirt and tie and I'm not allowed to work from home either. Rats' cocks. Snap - though the tie stays at home from tomorrow and remote access will be possible. Funny being somewhere where things are happening and people have things to do after how much the previous place had turned to shit. Of course I hadn't been fully set up on the systems so its nice to see how IT production uselessness is universal. Only dodgy thing is its one of those "let's all stay to 6:30/7:00 just to prove how dedicated we are" - don't mind it for a while but I'll migrate to my 5:00 bell soon. Love the way that's always blamed on IT like. I can't speak for other organisations but at ours, the main problem is that the employee number is used as the login ID (an HR decision, NOT an IT one). Conversely that means that we cannot create a new user account until HR have informed us what the employee number is. Only they refuse to generate that number until the day the person actually starts (i.e. so they don't generate an emp no. for someone who thinks "fuck it, i'll not bother turning up" which happens more than I thought). Result being the new starter doesn't get handed their login details until midway through the morning of their first day. Then most secondary logins have to be created after that a lot of them rely on active directory. Be fucking wonderful to live in a world whereby we flick a switch and the job is done - not in the least bit realistic though. Don't give me your excuses bloody IT punkawallah, just get it fucking sorted Have you tried turning it off and then on again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6307 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I have never met anyone that worked in HR that was even vaguely competent. We used to... and then we replaced them all with a call centre environment. Seriously they're like fucking robots - if you ask something that doesn't fit into one of their process flow diagrams they haven't got a fucking clue.

snakehips 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 All over the place, to be honest. An immediate family member is in A and it's really hard to put it to the back of my mind. I try my best not to think of it, but it isn't far away. Every news report is a jolt to the system. Like everyone else, I have read the reports and seen the pictures, but until someone close is there it doesn't really have anything to do with us. I really don't know what to think. Right or wrong, I can't wish it was someone else's family member there instead of X. Fucked up situation. Don't feel like dancing right now.

Be fucking wonderful to live in a world whereby we flick a switch and the job is done - not in the least bit realistic though. Fair point - I agree on HR and would add internal auditors who come up with these procedures in the first place. Actual problem here is my boss's boss hasn't approved the AD setup in the workflow engine. I'm slightly suffering from moving to a bigger place - I can no longer twist the arm of a lad sitting opposite me to get things done or even worse ask him to log on as domain admin and let me do something. I always knew that was incredibly wrong but fuck me it allowed things to actually get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
