    @Xdqwerty: @The Real Jdbye, don't tell me it's called backrub again <- huh?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Google was originally called backrub
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I went from a many-hats-wearing IT Engineering role in my last job, where the bulk of what I did was infrastructure deployments, to a Datacenter Operations Engineering role in my current job. Good transition and kept me doing most of my favorite parts of my last job

    Only thing that's missing is the hands on stuff, which I loved lol. I work remote so I don't get to do hands on anymore, but I'm also remote, so do I really have any room to complain? XD

    @Sicklyboy Last place I worked they were getting ready to do layoffs and asked if anyone would want a severance pay to leave. I knew my boss wanted to make me an info sec analyst. So I raised my hand and asked to be let go.
  • Michael-MSL @ Michael-MSL:
    My boss was not happy at all. He took it really hard and still calls me asking if I will return. I have told him not gonna happen unless he go somewhere else.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Michael-MSL, hell yeah take that golden parachute. Best way to do it. I beat layoffs at my company by a few months when I quit. Which is kinda sad because I would have taken that golden paracute for sure too, but then the role I'm in now likely would have been filled by then. Quitting also helped my mental health a fair bit, so, worth it in the end tbh.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My old boss still texts me every once in a while to wish me happy holidays and what not. Pretty sure he wants me back lmao
  • Michael-MSL @ Michael-MSL:
    Exactly, I mean what I am doing know is so unique. Working with applications used by gas, oil, electrical companies

    first meeting with my new manager she was like I heard you have been learning everything super quick, you are super engaging and all this other shit. I was like tbh I am an introvert who knows how to be an extrovert.
  • Michael-MSL @ Michael-MSL:
    Just the flip of a switch nothing else.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Me and a few of my coworkers got stuck with retiring old servers. The process was basically nonexistent and mostly manual so I taught myself way more bash scripting than I previously knew (virtually none) and scripted the process to work across theoretically any kind of server that we have deployed. Got some kudos for that lol

    It all just boils down to a good work ethic and a deep rooted passion. If i was not passionate about technology I would not be dealing with it for a living.
