There were 5 unmanaged switches in this mess.
Also about 20+ unused cables that they asked for me to leave just incase they need them.
Charged $750, which I've realized is super low after reading posts in this sub.
​
Me: 'Hey Billy, Johnny from Accounting messaged me saying his internet isn't working. I checked our RMM and it's showing it disconnected over the weekend so maybe the cleaning crew did something to the ethernet cable. It's probably just a simple replugging of the ethernet cable. Can you go check it out?'
​
Billy just stares at me for a few seconds and says ok. Then sits at their desk for a few minutes and then goes to check on the problem.
​
They then message me on Teams 'they're not getting an IP'
​
Me: 'even after reconnecting the ethernet cable?'
​
Silence for 5 or so minutes
​
Billy: 'i checked the network settings and everything looks good'
​
Me: 'ok cool. So they're online again?'
​
Billy: 'no not yet. I'm checking firewall settings'

And this is with all 3 of my techs.
​
Is this a me problem?
​
I work in IT and never used it professionally.
​
I have been using it for the past 20+ years though, all self taugh or learned from youtube.
​
Nowadays I use AI to help, then create a mask to refine it .
​
Before I'd use the pen tool.
​
I ask because I helped the guy in our marketing department today with a mouse issue.
​
I saw he was using the lasso tool, with the image zoomed in like 20x, and he was pretty much selecting each individual pixel (not really but really close).
​
He said it sometimes takes him a full day for 1 image.
​
The images are nothing crazy, just food products.
​
Is taking all day for 1 cutout normal in a professional setting?
​
For instance, if everyone on reddit agreed to post a bunch of gibberish posts, and filled it with replies in gibberish for a month. Will it make a noticeable impact on LLMs?
$600 to repair their shitty HME timers now.
$700 to exchange it.
Hopefully SoLinks or Envysions's solution can replace it. I'm piloting both soon.
I currently manage some field technicians that will run cable, install POS equipment, cameras, etc. in restaurant locations.
Do I write up safety guidelines or does that fall on Operations or someone else?
I used to work for Spectrum as a cable installer, and we were taught some basic safety during training. I feel like having some sort of guide would be helpful for any new technicians that get onboarded.

My stepson is 22 year old.
He has a 1 1/2 year old. Ever since my grandson could crawl, my stepson has been yelling at him. Things like 'come here!' 'Stop!' 'Why don't you listen?!'
I keep telling him a 1 year old doesn't understand you. He doesn't know what 'stop' means, and that the yelling just makes him look like a crazy person yelling at their dog.
He got mad and said to stay out and he can raise his son however he wants.
I don't want to be 1 of those parents to oversteps their boundaries but am I right that yelling at a 1 year old is dumb af?
