True, but I don’t think Keanu here is giving career advancement advice

This belongs to “I’m 13 and this is deep” on reddit

Yes, that’s what MS thinks… Yet that’s not the case as I can successfully get the files off SharePoint to my PC and then email them

The issue is MS doing this on its own accord and without proper warning or way to permanently override

Hey everybody, only this guy’s problems are the important ones … so forget what you are concerned about and just listen to this guy

Lol, you think MS is watching and will give a treat for being such a nice little follower?

It doesn’t make my life any better as those links never work.

If it works for you fine, don’t need to be offended like I insulted your girlfriend

Tomato potato… My company uses MS because it’s the fucking industry default and it sucks

I would put more onus on them if we were talking about some niche thing they refused to give up. But MS is what everyone uses and they wouldn’t be able to ditch it altogether because MS has a monopoly

Yes I HATE that so much!

Yes but If you chose the full attachment, half the time I just get the link

This is because MS will force it if they think the attachment is an odd extension or too big or whatever

We have this shit at work, they make it incredibly hard to get a fucking attachment as a real attachment instead of a link to their cloud

Specially annoying since my organization is “geofence” but we work with people all over the world… So MS insists on switching attachments to links nobody can open outside my country

I always thought project managers were useless until I got a good one. Then I realized the issue was that most I’ve dealt with were as useful as this parrot

The key of a good PM is to know their job is to ensure you can do yours. My good PM had that internalized and his only goal was to remove obstacles for us… glorious times

So if I were to say, “I’m playing phone tag with the vendors liaison because all he does is poorly repeat what I ask to others inside the company”, my good PM would get on the phone with the vendor and get a list of contacts so I could skip the crappy middle man

Another time I said, the network folks don’t agree with the security folks on how to proceed. He would get everyone in the same room and get all ducks in a row, then let me know what the decision was.

If I said, I’m wasting half my day asking for availability to book meetings, he would ask who I needed to talk to and book everything himself

I wonder if they returned the $40K

Iceraven for the win!
