  • I’ll be a bit less vague, my job involves installing various equipment systems that are designed/programmed by the office people.

    Part of the process is testing and bug fixing, nothing in life goes perfect. Install typically takes 4-6 hours, with time allotted for a few hours to test and configure being at end of day. We are often at the mercy of the business hours of wherever we work, so install typically doesn’t begin until 8am.

    When its 3pm and the job is supposed to be done by end of day and some technical issue pops up (typically client wants a change, or sometimes we all make a mistake) if the guy who programmed the electronics went home at 2, the job won’t get done.

    As I said, once in a while people leaving early is fine, if we have to return to a job we will. But if we have to do that for every single one, we’d never get anything done.

    Some jobs require assistance because that’s how life works. not everyone is a computer genius.

    I lead small teams doing construction/remodel type work.

    It gets real screwy when people start leaving at different times. Those who take lunch end up stuck with extra clean up or fixing last minute issues that pop up.

    It also sucks when the office folk leave early and we’re stuck in the field with questions or issues that they need to decide on.

    Once in a while, it doesn’t matter, but every day of people working slightly different schedules gets annoying.

    For independent work, yeah its ridiculous people are forced to work specific hours for no reason.












  • Meanwhile Windows; Hi, you saved a file earlier? Let’s search for it. Nope, can’t find it, do you want to search Bing? No? [A few minutes later] Ooo, so sorry you’re offline and can’t download it. Too bad.

    Ios; you want to open the file in an app? OK, click 7 buttons and we’ll make a local copy stored in the app’s specific folder you didn’t know existed.

    Chrome; what’s a file?

    Linux; which file browser would you like to use today?
