@IAMERICAbooted And that sometimes MS Reps will be just as clueless as AI. Unless you manage to invoke a black belt or someone from the product group via Account Manager. Thereโs also that.
@IAMERICAbooted I have zscaler at my workplace and the cretins in charge block almost everything except cloning github repos and compiling the damn thing yourself.
@IAMERICAbooted I am onboard the E5 train than add-ons. But the problem will always be corporate politics between departments and how many favours and bribes higher ups get to go the illogical route.
@IAMERICAbooted then start chipping away 1 by 1 as self improvement and growth. Find communities with the same interest as you do - either physical or virtual (Martial arts, D&D, book club, etc.) Physical activities, especially sports that require you to have a strategy, strengthen the mind.
@IAMERICAbooted Sometimes the voices in our head get very loud, especially when we have loads of free time. I second what others have mentioned - walks, chores, etc. They are good to take the edge off, what I also do to cut down on those thoughts is to start putting all of them on a list 1/x
@techspence You don't need more certifications. You need more experience. - there, I fixed it. I am in an org filled with ex-MS employees in mgmt position that push people to get cert for every tech that is used and under the sun. Brain dumps are having a blast.
@offbeat@IAMERICAbooted The larger the org, the more people avoid responsibility and play politics & defer.
It's not wrong, it's ideal to have it that way. But I've seen execs sharing the device with their assistant or the assistant losing her phone that has the execs MFA reg or FIDO fob.
