You didn't need admin privileges to install that?

[-] Peffse@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I just put it in the windows Startup folder. It's not installed as a service or anything.

There often are portable versions of programs that you don't have to install.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I just tried. IT is one step ahead, the site is blocked 😂

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Could do it on a personal computer and load it on USB? Idk, just thinking out loud right now

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

I could email it to myself, (Flash Drives are prevented) but it's not worth it. I am extremely fortunate that my company does not give two shits about micromanaging, and so no one really cares about my status. It's just annoying to me that it goes yellow so quickly, but it's not worth the risk.

Fair enough, I'm glad you're not being held to arbitrary metrics that show nothing about actual effort or work done.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

It's one of several reasons I'm still here despite being severely underpaid! 😂 😭

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

I get that, sometimes not being harassed is worth a pay cut.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Also unlimited PTO and WFH for anyone who wants to

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

That's pretty dope. Is the PTO actually usable?

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yep. I have literally never been turned down for PTO. And if I want to cut out early, I just tell my team, and everyone is cool. I should probably clarify that I am on salary.

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

God I'm so jealous. I have 28 days worth of hours and minutes plus bank holidays. I'm also salary. I technically work for a spun off part if the government, so if I went to work private I would at least double my yearly earnings, but there wouldn't be stability in my working days, no pension, no built in disability or injury pay etc etc etc. That said, we should be getting paid a lot more than we are.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

We're hiring! No pensions though, and 401k match is 3%. Health benefits aren't bad

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

I'm not moving from Scotland any time soon

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

There's several openings in our Leeds office, and most of us work remote

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

As a Stonemason would I have any transferable skills?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

For now.
