I feel like I've heard about something with a scan needing for the patient to have a plug... as bullshit as that sounds... Though could have been some of the usual internet trolling.

Doesn't help my company makes on our ondrives for when we start including one called "my documents". Searched for a file for nearly an hour before realizing this

#43- I'm guessing this was an online interview, but how amazing would this be if the guy ordered his DoorDash to be delivered to an in-person interview? I hope his spaghetti came with garlic bread.

He made a rookie mistake by not asking about their spaghetti policy.

Pretty ballsy to not check on the business's spaghetti policy before interview. That takes gumption AND moxie, you're hired!
johnxbear
I'm a little bummed I forgot about online interviews. I thought it was indeed at an office.

That makes much more sense than the scenario in my mind. Forgot online interviews are a thing.

#17 Why do you think they call it "the crack of dawn"?

#1 but Microsoft wants you to fill up your free onedrive account, randomly get used to the convenience of cloud storage, and so start paying for more storage. It's the same thing as Bing being the default search engine in IE, until they were forced to offer alternatives.
HairyChairstepper
#27 Yeah, but "asked for unreasonable compensation." Bitch you mean a living wage

#22 I will never believe anyone who claims to "not have money" if they ever use doordash. I'm sorry, just no, you are bad with money. Sure, you won't get rich from what you save, but holy heck! How are you people budgeting to include door dash's prices for anything ever?!

#12 I'm not even a boomer, and I want a physical menu. And not a whiteboard tacked up at the other end of the room either.
IUpvoteFuturama
If wanting a physical menu at a restaurant is boomer shit then I guess I'm a boomer now.
TheMysteriousTraveller
#12 Millennial here. If I'm gonna have a sit down dinner at a restaurant you better be giving me a physical menu. I'm paying more for the experience. I could just make the food at home. I have stopped going to places that I used to go to because they started doing this shit.
gesel
#12 who doesn't hate data thieving, privacy violating qr code menus?
OTOH, they are a convenient opportunity to swap in an intermediate site to install a drive by rootkit and then land on the original data thief site the restaurant did a deal with. Opportunity to build your own botnet for fun and profit.

I have been pulling files out of my sent emails to clients because it is faster for modifying/updating rather than locating where the hell it sent (if it kept) the previous file or if I fucking overwrote it. Why must I ALWAYS reassign the destination folder?
abetteridiot
My work computer quietly switched over to using One Drive instead of local drive, and it's driving me bonkers. It's nigh impossible to figure out what the most recent version of a document is, and if it involves work through Teams, too? Forgettaboutit. I fucking hate it.

scr1bbl3
It does both, no?
ToastedEggSandwich
the default filepath points to onedrive. It's only two or three clicks to get to your local machine, but like, why
h41fgod
It fucks up the entire file system, for no good reason whatsoever. Big part of why I left, when it got turned on against my will by an update in October.
Sensiblyinteresting
Especially if the cloud decides it wants to AI scrub itself for my dinosaur vampire fan fiction because it's suddenly against their tos in a few years
OnlyOneArman
You're document was removed because it contained data that looked like a password. It contained: 1) letters, 2) numbers, 3) special characters. Please refrain from entering this data in future documents.
ZeRootOfAllEvil
Especially when it won't let me sign in.
pahapaavo
OneDrive does both, so you have a local file and a backup in cloud. People who refuse to use clouds are also the same people who haven't had the experience of a broken storage device.
I would not sleep my nights if I didn't use OneDrive. I know how it feels to lose years worth of documents, photos and what not.
famicus
Agree. I also agree with nay sayers. But I agree w you. I'm an ex-pat. Having my documents on one drive has saved me and my kids from uncomfortable nights when traveling soooooo many times.
Maybe I'll make my own onedrive someday. With AWS and hookers.
MarsIsAfire
There are other local ways to do this. MS and Google want access to your files because they SNOOP on you. that's the only reason for this.
Matty3D
So use something different. Or disable OneDrive and not use it at all.
I use OneDrive because it syncs between my desktop, laptop and recording booth. I can work on the same files in multiple locations without nary a thought.
BrokenAnimal
Agreed. I want MY files on MY computer so that I can access them whenever I want, even if the net goes down for whatever reason. I want to just click on my folder to get to them, not log on to some cloud service that may or may not cooperate that day. Fuck that shit.
pixelscapes
I realize we’re all here to bash The Cloud, but I have mine configured to keep them on my local drive and also do cloud backups. The local ones get backed up automagically to an external drive, too.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
On my new computer it was set up to have it all go to the cloud with no local copy, and I didn't realize until it was full. Then when I investigated wtf was going on, I found that even when I went to the Documents folder that *wasn't* listed under OneDrive, it *still* went to the OneDrive one. I had to pin my own shortcut to the local Documents folder in the File Manager navigation pane. Like, wtf Windows? I just copied everything over and shut OneDrive right off. Can't do that at work, sadly.
pixelscapes
Oh, definitely not a fan of how it tries to ingest the whole file structure… it took some tinkering to make it focus only on the directory and drive I wanted. I still think it’s too heavy handed in its insistence and cloud-only defaults, despite being able to customize it for local use.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Exactly. I really like the idea, and the ease of use, it's great at work. But don't FORCE me into it without even telling me what you're doing, and then making it difficult to not use it if I don't want to. Typical Microsoft overreach. Stop shoving Edge down my throat, too. I set my default browser to something else, then I open a pdf and it brings up Edge. No! Just use my default browser!
squirreltactics
For real, stop shoving your cloud bullshit down our throats. Looking at you Microsoft AND Google. I have external drives goddamnit.

"But you have data. We NEED your data. For money. GIVE."
MagicalScientist
It's useful in a shitty school or corporate setting. I tried sending a zipped folder to a ~5 year younger classmate and they didn't know you had to "unzip" it, literally never encountered one, and sharing a folder via onedrive would've bypassed the issue completely, at least.
adiving
Sortof nah. This happens a lot in our company, but there are tons of things you can't do directly in the zip, and a lot of those people just get hung up on the next step in whatever they need to do then.

#3 I have seen fruit snacks, I have seen melatonin gummies and I have seen weed gummies. Are you just reaching into an open container of random gummies and not even looking at them before shoving them in your mouth?

You say that like it's some sort of problem.

No.... just ya know, not my style...

when I want an excuse to not do something, I can think of worse approaches

If that was the goal, then I don't think melatonin is a great addition...

being asleep is a good excuse to not do something.

Yes but a waste of a good edible. But I guess of you want to cover your bases.

#27 "unreasonable compensation" fuck that. It's a negotiation. Unreasonable my left foot, those self entitled shitbird capitalists. "Ooh we're soooo butthurt that they asked us for more than we were willing to give that we couldn't just say no, we had to pay a journalist to take our side so no one has the gall to think they deserve higher pay"
abetteridiot
My thought as well. I'm sure there are a select few who asked for outrageous amounts, but if 50% of people expect (need) more pay than you're offering – to a tune that you think it's *unreasonable* – that definitely sounds like a you problem.
Life has gotten fucking expensive, and people need to earn enough to pay for that. It's not fun money on top that they are asking for, it's enough money to live off of.
FlannaganTheRed
yeah, hard to know if they were grossly overcompensating, or asking for what would be fair pay but above whatever the company wanted to pay.
BishlamekGurpgork
Intelligent.com seems to be a site that rates and ranks student resources. Mediabias indicates that they are quoted by media in articles rated left, right, and center, but generally not far left or far right.
I suspect if this is an example of a biased survey, it's probably a sample problem, in that this is a survey of people in hiring for corporations. I think it's less likely that it was bought and paid for, based on what a cursory google and review with a couple of watchdog sites turned up.
copperdomebodhi
One of the joys of HR is trying to explain to managers, "No one is going to do this shitty job for what you're hoping to pay."
fallswinkingtothefloor
For this read "not willing to work for literally fucking nothing"
gunnexx
Demanding 45-50k for an entry level job offered at 35k (already very well paying) is unreasonable. I would've maybe considered 37k but lol 45k? Gtfo. Call me a shit bird capitalist all you want
pseudokojo
Just saying no didn't make you the shitbird. Trying to say it's problematic in order to dissuade people but from asking that much and saying it's a bad worker that's asks for money would make you so. I'm saying it's a negotiation of a labor market: they can ask for it, and you can say no.
gunnexx
You made it seem like its always like that. Nowhere did the screenshot say its problematic, and the term 'bad worker' wasnt mentioned either.
pseudokojo
And also 35k was decent starting pay... In 2008. Though, I suppose this depends on your sector and local economy. I mean USPS letter carriers start at 47k these days and all you need for that is a HS diploma.
gunnexx
I dont live in the US so not sure what USPS has anything to do with it. Again, you assume stuff without any context. You dont know where I live, you dont know the median income for my country, you dont know the sector. Median income is 37k in my country. This was for a 1st line call center job. Youre putting words in mouths and assuming a ton of shit
amglasgow
35k is barely a living wage in most parts of the US.
gunnexx
Cool, I don't live in the US. It's more than enough where I live
TheUglyGuy
Back in around 1987 I interviewed a fresh graduate for an entry programming job. He thought his CS degree meant he could get $250,000.
pseudokojo
But did you put an article out demonizing seeing what you could get in an interview in response?
TheUglyGuy
No, but I don't really see that in the image either, it's just some of the weird shit fresh college grads do in job interviews.
pseudokojo
It's just annoying to me that articles like that treat the labor market as if it wasn't a market.
cuttlefishsticks
50% of 'em though? A couple of ambitious and/or naive job seekers throwing out a ridiculous over the top number sure. But 50%? Nah, that's capitalist misers trying to shame people into settling for less than they deserve.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I don't know, 53% couldn't make eye contact and that's not really normal either. Like that's a shocking number. I understand some people are neurodivergent and some people have social anxiety or other social issues, but it's not more than half. And the 19% bringing their parents is just pure insanity. Actually I question this whole survey.
Jattetont
It's not saying that 50% of recent college graduates seeking jobs are asking for unreasonable compensation, but that 50% of employers surveyed have encountered at least one candidate in that group who asked for unreasonable compensation.
meauho
The last programming job I applied for the company started at $32k and then got upset with me for wasting their time for thinking I would get more than that. I wasn't entry level and went through 3 rounds of interviews.
HairyChairstepper
Wtf. Was this recent and in America? They're trying to rob you if so
meauho
About 10 years ago, Houston. I'm aware
BishlamekGurpgork
When the position is not entry level, I have sometimes tried to give them the opportunity to backtrack by saying "Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding. I had intended to interview for the XYZ position, not an entry-level position."
It hasn't really worked for me yet, but I don't know how else to communicate that their offer is a goddamn insult it in a way that lets them shift gears without losing face.
TheUglyGuy
"Industry standard pay for a position like this is $xxx. Frankly I'm insulted that you think I'd take less given my skills and background."
You might also try: "Are you shitting me!?"
BishlamekGurpgork
Yeah, I'll start getting rude if they stand by their pricing. But right out of the gate? I'll give them a signal that I know what a bullshit offer that is, and see if they can do better. Sometimes it's just really important that you get paid. If that means working for someone who'd prefer to lowball you for a little while, well, it's temporary.
TheDogEnd
You communicate it just like that, that their offer is a goddamn insult and finding the most desperate person to take it is exploitation
BishlamekGurpgork
Oh, I'll get rude, if they try and stand by their bullshit. But sometimes you just really need money. Sometimes that means your boss isn't ideal for a few months.
So, if I'd really like to work, I'll let them know that I know their offer's bullshit, but give them the room to make another.
