I hope he's got better sense than President Obama had.
I'm expecting Trump to abuse executive orders once he discovers that a democracy doesn't work the same way as a corporation, especially if Democrats used the filibuster in the Senate the same way that the Republicans did to obstruct Obama.
Those executive orders caused a lot of grief with people. It's part of what fueled the "Trump Train."
Even though historically Obama has issued fewer executive orders than many of his predecessors. If the Republicans weren't obstructing his policies from beginning to end, he wouldn't have to rely on executive orders to get things done.
It's part of what fueled the "Trump Train."
Soon to become the "Trump Betrayal" as he fails to keep his campaign promises, either because Congress won't go along or he wasn't serious about what he said on the campaign trail.
Yeah, because I'm absolutely positive that the companies who reject you for being useless are also in the habit of keeping you in the loop on their hiring activity.
I get contacted by 20+ recruiters per day. That particular position pops up every six months. Probably because I work around the corner from that particular law firm.
"Hey creimer, I know we rejected you because you're an unemployable, lazy sack of shit, but we thought you'd want to know that we filled that position, so you don't have to sit up nights worrying about how we're faring."
When I got my security clearance for my current government IT job, the two-hour investigative background interview lasted four hours. I had to list every contract job that I've worked in the previous seven years. It was considered odd that I've worked two or three jobs for seven days a week for three years after being unemployed for two years, underemployed for six months, and filing for chapter seven bankruptcy. Most people on average only work one job at a time.
Seriously, do you even believe your own bullshit? It stinks from miles away.
[...] doesn't have documentation about his existence or tax status.
I once had a roommate of questionable immigration status (i.e., when the cops asked about him, I've told them that my roommates and I had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy). He told me that he had paid $3,000 for identity papers in Los Angeles that permitted him to work legally in the U.S. Of course, that was before 9/11.
You know those numbers include MILLIONS of people here illegally, and not paying a dime in taxes right?
When I had a bout of unemployment in 2014, I've discovered that a C. RAMOS used my Social Security number to work under, contributing to my Social Security account and inflating my unemployment benefit award. I had to notify Social Security, unemployment office and IRS to set the record straight. Social Security withdrew the contributed money, unemployment office reduced my unemployment benefits by $50 per week, and the IRS gave me a PIN for filing my taxes.
So, your going to be spouting this stat for the next 4 years as well, since not everyone in the country needs or wants to work.
That's why the laws need to be repealed. The only way to make America great again is to get EVERYONE WORKING again, including children, retirees and slackers. Trump will add 92 million jobs!
Let's not forget my favorite: "Three or more years in each of the last three positions."
A recruiter contacted me for a desktop support job at a law firm in 2014. My resume was one of 20 that got submitted. The hiring manager rejected all of them for "lacking tenure," as none had the required three or more years in each of the last three positions. The recruiter was stunned and explained to the hiring manager that everyone worked short-term contracts after the Great Recession. I've worked 20+ different contracts in the three years after I was out of work for two years (2009-10), underemployed for six months (working 20 hours per month), and filed for chapter seven bankruptcy in 2011. AFAIK, the law firm never filled that position.
Only 92 million Americans are out of work. A number that haven't changed in four or five years. But Trump will repeal the laws that prevent children, retirees and slackers from being chained to the assembly lines that will make America great again for the plutocrats.
Reimaging nearly a thousand machines with a single IT person is just going to be a disaster.
That depends on your setup. I did a PC refresh project where I replaced 750 old workstations with new workstations. Reimaging 150 systems per hour over the network was easy, but the data transfer and installing non-common applications took forever. I got the one year project done in nine months.
The network guys at my job put in a rule at the gateway to prevent the Window 10 upgrade message from popping up in the first place. Not that any of the users have admin rights to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 if they did click on the link.
If a tech can "individually inspect it," then so can a script.
Sure, if the system is properly configured. Otherwise, the system is just another system that looks like every other system on the general network. It takes a human being to make a judgment call, send out emails, make repairs and update the report status.
If you leave it up to individual techs, you are requiring that every individual tech have exactly the same thought process and inspection criteria.
Which is why everyone is extensively trained to deal with the systems in the exact same way. That's more training I've ever gotten in the 20 years that I've worked in the private sector.
I see. So rather than fix the problem, and put systems in place to ensure that they're not repeated, you take the bureaucrat's approach of "filing a report, and ensuring that somebody else will fix the problem eventually."
This is a government operation. Processes are in place to deal with issues. For the medical IT team, their response time is four hours or less after being notified of a problem.
Not based on your postings here, that's for shit sure.
I have 800+ connections on LinkedIn to recruiters that I've talked to over during my career. I get 20+ phone calls from recruiters per day. Based on the feedback of my management team and recruiters I've talked, your opinion on Slashdot doesn't matter.
That is because everyone in Government IT are morons. Most are ex-military who couldn't get a job anywhere else so go begging at the taxpayer trough for jobs.
I spent 20 years in the private sector and 2+ years in the public sector. The people I work with in government IT are the most professional IT people in the business. I'm proud to serve with them.
The vast majority of government agencies are going to be Trump's bitch for the next 4 years. And there is nothing that can be done about it.
I work in government IT. As far as many of my coworkers are concern, Donald Trump is no different than any other person in the White House when it comes to day-to-day operations. Just business as usual. The Republican track record to close the Department of Commerce, Department of Education, and Department of Oops is pretty dismal.
Instead of reading a summary of Mr. Trump's 3AM tweets in The Wall Street Journal each morning, I'll be force to read each one as they come in real time.
Sounds like the tech put it on the wrong VLAN to begin with, which means that "multi-tasking" wasn't his problem - being a sloppy shithead when originally configuring the system & its networking was.
The medical IT team was responsible for configuring that system. They are human like the rest of us and sometimes make mistakes.
If he's multi-tasking, why isn't his script checking that "one of the systems wasn't supposed to be on the general VLAN" before it does invasive operations?
A misconfigured system looks like any other system on the General VLAN to a script. That's why a tech has to individually inspect each system ONE AT A TIME to ensure that they can work on it. Multitasking is dangerous and strongly discouraged by our management team. Take the time, get it right and move on is the purpose of our job.
But, I suppose a self-starter like you already has root caused the issue, and gone out and implemented network scanning to double-check and enforce the configurations of your systems, such that it's *impossible* to put an operating room system on the wrong vlan. Right?
We have a process for reporting up the chain of command that the medical IT team misconfigured a system. That group is responsible for ensuring that every system is properly configured, and to make sure it doesn't show up again on next month's Nessus scan.
Must be nice to have such low expectations and limited prospects.
This job is a major stepping stone in my career. I have high expectations and unlimited prospects in the InfoSec field.
Welp, I'm still don't grok how non-multitasking helps save lives, particularly in a IT environment, but you answered the question so I'll leave it at that.
Let's consider an actual scenario: you got an IT tech who is multitasking on a dozen system, doesn't notice that one of the systems wasn't supposed to be on the general VLAN, and accidentally reboots an operating room system during the middle of a medical procedure. Fortunately, the patient didn't die while the medical staff halted procedure until the system rebooted. The tech got fired.

Err...ok, c'mon, use a little common sense, no one is talking about the child labor laws for kids under 15yrs going away....
You're not paying attention to the right-wing echo chamber. Make America great again refers to the 1850's.
Again, let's use a little common, real world, real life sense here, eh?
If common sense was so prevalent, Trump wouldn't have gotten elected.
Thanks for the stupid.
Sadly, in the electoral college, that's what a majority of Americans voted for.
I hope he's got better sense than President Obama had.

Err...what's wrong with kids/students working?
Child labor laws prevents kids as young as five-year-old from working 12 hour shifts seven days a week.
I have been working a job of some sort since I was 16yrs old.
But child labor laws prevented you from working for 11 years. You probably didn't work 12 hours shifts for seven days a week.
No one that is able bodied should be given a free ride, hell yes get out there and work.
All those trust fund babies need to get off their lazy asses and work in the coal mines.
Yeah, because I'm absolutely positive that the companies who reject you for being useless are also in the habit of keeping you in the loop on their hiring activity.

From where I sit, I smell nothing but roses.

Well, actually Congress will have to repeal them first, then he gets to sign it into law. It might take a while for that to play out.
Trump will issue a series of executive orders to make America great again. Won't be long before 92 million Americans are back to work.
So, your going to be spouting this stat for the next 4 years as well, since not everyone in the country needs or wants to work.

Using the number 10 probably made the calculations more easier to figure out on the back of a napkin. What's obvious is not always simpler.
We used to call this fuzzy logic back in the 1980's.

Trump voters like Samsung smart phones and Hillary voters like iPhones. One explodes on Twitter, the other is business as usual.

My friend works at a Sprint store. They have a Microsoft phone in the back room. No customer has ever walked in asking for a Microsoft phone.

Oh, c'mon. Just give us a little hint about how your job entails saving lives, please. I beginning to have my doubts now.
Hospital environment.
Whoa, cleaned out a storage closet AND reimaged workstations? You saved a lot of lives that year.
The IT manager was especially happy with the storage closet since he got back 600 square feet of usable space.
