  • My teams new hire project manager was even more advanced. When they found out we were working on 5-10 projects at once with no PM, they quit.

    We had 3 PMs when I started here, and have been down to 0-1 for 6 months. That 0-1 runs a whole unrelated team, but is technical still a PM.

    Dysfunction is fun. The plus side? No one asks me for estimates.









  • Yup, there’s the justification right on time. They had to abandon basic civility and professionalism to “hit their targets.”

    Thats why they can be abusive, ignore the company process for tickets, threaten their coworkers, whatever they want. They need to “stay on parnet track” and “hit their targets.” No one else has any stressors or requirements at their workplace, just the lawyers.

    Nevermind that the “support staff” make sure lots of people, processes and services work, and may individually be more important to “hitting targets” for the company as a whole than any individual lawyer.

    How about the lawyers “do their job” by interacting with their coworkers professionally? By submitting tickets correctly and in a timely manner?

    Abusing your coworkers is never justified.


  • He doesnt talk about pictures at all. That was someone elses supposition.

    It’s not clear from the snippet of text what the issue is, but it sure looks like he opened up the folder ACLs and found that his account wasn’t “Owner” for some folder/files, and now hes mad that he is being made to elevate his own account for that folder, because “He is the OWNER!” of the files in a property rights context.


  • Windows defaults to giving a user access to common folders like a desktop, pictures, etc. Most never need anymore access to internal folders.

    The fact that Andrew has the permissions settings open enough to discover “owner” but doesnt understand what any of it is means and instead launched a “don’t tread on me” screed about his “dominion of all things mine” implies that he fucked up, not Microsoft.
