This Business and Moment...

I had PluralSight for free with work, used it to get an Azure cert. But I find these days I can learn what I require from YouTube and other free sources. Scum move, but they seemed to have covered their backsides in the Ts&Cs.
 
I had forgotten I even had this - I think an employer gave me a license and then I used it once or twice.

Quite funny how my "lifetime access account" has just been deleted.

This is why no one should pay for so called "lifetime memberships"

Scumbags did the rug pull.

It feels like something is going to happen at my place. The hard stop all teams face when things reach the funnel of our ops/infra team has reached a point where our CTO has caught wind of it. It's only taken him several years, but hey.

I think the last straw may have been the other day when a manager had to raise a ticket to be able to raise a ticket in the right place, to in fact raise a ticket for approval to be able to raise another ticket on a different system, to then wait 2 weeks for a response which was resolved by ops team with "this is not allowed".

Spoke to a couple of recruiters this week who explained decent sounding jobs, then they send me the spec and it reads completely differently. When questioned they say the spec isn't really right and what they said is right. What am I meant to do with that?...

Well you are meant to believe the pimps. That's what they would rather you did. They are only a few down from estate agents at times in my experience. They will say whatever they think will make you take the job so they get their cut.
 
I assume generic job specs and descriptions are not serious. There's has to be some thing in there that's oddly specific or unusual before I'll take it seriously. Any inconsistency and I just forget about it.

Ok I'll bite what's a CDTIO? I'm sure it's not what I Google "Counter-Drug Telecommunications Integration Office"
I'm guessing it's a variation on Chief Dev Tech Info Officer?

In ours on a regular basis a new team or new manager refuses to use the existing support system and creates a new one, or a new mail box, or just uses email or such. So many convoluted ways of doing something so simple. Then argue about the support process.

All while ignoring as much support as they can until it blows up in to a crisis.
