horrors beyond your imagination. we have a monopoly on a proprietary everything app, and clients hire specific IT folks just for maintaining our software. i’m tech support for those guys.
it’s fun because it’s all automated. vpn into work at the wrong time? not enough active computer hours? automated email to manager. the software we make has a ton of “productivity reporting” and we make sure to use it internally too :)
and then all employees are ranked when it comes to raises
oh i mean they absolutely are, computers are spyware, cameras everywhere, i’ve heard some people get caught in trouble based an image of their license plate, not enough clicks per hour, etc.
but this is just boring old reporting to manager every clock-in and clock-out, plus extra workload
now that i’m being monitored so heavily with work hours, im just entertaining myself by solving simple problems in convoluted ways. the data extract was ran with incorrect parameters? sure, i could re-run it correctly, or i could create a convoluted regex replacement to clean it up
the thing is i literally don’t even use grub lol, so id be more than happy to replace the asshole.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
in my defense i had never seen anything like the gi.repository thing before where it like creates files on the fly or something and that was interesting so i let myself get distracted
i know they just flag it and a human reviewed (and that person was nice enough to not give me a strike when taking the vid down) but still the corpo mental health shit is grating
