So anyway, the owners of the company I work for had a global call last week on Wednesday at 5am local time. I was ready with a 15minute alarm so I could have time to spare. Just find the item on my teams schedule and click the link thought.
So Wednesday comes, I wake up, run to the laptop, plug in my security dongle hit the on button… The thing takes a fucking 4 minutes to start for whatever the fuck reason. Hmm ok, I have a few more minutes, no problem! Click the… Fuck! It’s just a photo!!! Ok find the original invite! Found it! Click the link! Surely this takes me directly to the meeting, right? Right? No! Its a fucking download! Oh ok where did that shit go? To the downloads folder! Ok click! Ok now getting into the meeting! Finally! Shit! No volume! Where’s the un-mute! The fucking unmute! What’s she saying? Fuck! There! Done!..
“So that’s how you can enter information into our database… If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly blah blah thanks for joining, good bye!”
So I scrambled to the link to find a make-up session. Found it, signed up. Now for 38 minutes ago local time fucking midnight. Same fucking ordeal to get to the stupid fucking teams meeting for a fucking recording!!!
Holy fucking donkey shit! They made me do all that for a recording that could have just been sent as a link for me to see at my leasure at any moment during a normal business hour!!!
I need two uncomfortable foldable chairs, duct tape and a bat. Not a corked bat. I need a 2X4 with a handle or a lead pipe. One chair is for the asshole who figured out a way to make computers so fucking useless at Microsoft. The other is for the total wackjob who thinks you need a midnight or 5 am meeting to watch a 10 minute video recording. You both should be very ashamed of being people. Heck, no, be ashamed of being animals at all. Things that are not inanimate. Holy jeezets you both are so stupid!
Ok, now I’m going to sleep. Goodbye! Have a wonderful day y’all!
There’s a whole party of the story about the computer taking forever to boot and teams being overly complicated to use. 🤷🏽♂️
The most likely cause of the slow boot is the usb dongle.
Yes exactly. If they would just get out of the way things would work smoothly.
The other part of the problem is the whole corporate hoop jumping thing where they choose whatever is safest… All people must watch or read X thing such that we can automatically checkbox that they did it… I’m case we get sued… If they get hurt by doing the job we don’t have to pay because we told them it was possible. But how can this be accomplished across the globe? Via an automated video ofcourse! But send it at midnight!
