    So who's gonna tell this person that most dogs learn from and mimic their owners to learn behavior and socialization?

    It actually ends up balancing out..... You pull something forward to make Q2 look better, that means Q3 just took a hit... So then you need to pull Q4 stuff to fill Q3 for things you pulled into Q2.. it's kinda silly, but it's the way of things. OTOH, I have been in situations where my company...

    Sales Career Thread - Uncapped Commission for Everyone

    This is definitely affecting some areas, but I would say consulting/planning and such will be the most resistant so long as people want/need human input. In my world, you're dead on right. This movement was starting around 2017-2018. It used to be that we would sell to the security teams at...

    My theory... (full disclosure, I work in sales in cybersecurity, but not for Crowdstrike). They run one month offset, meaning that July is the end of their Fiscal Q2. It is very common practice in cybersecurity companies to pile a lot of deals in the last week of the quarter (and even moreso...

    Having a bad Blue Screen morning on 7/19/2024? Crowdstrike pushed out a bad update. (fix in thread)

    I will have to admit that to run the fix in an environment with Bitlocker you essentially have to have your IT department read you off a 64 character string and you have to enter it to boot into safe mode is some serious Chef's Kiss level of hurt locker pain.

    Apparently there was a Crowdstrike update pushed out this morning which is causing a LOT of windows systems to blue screen. For those who do not know, Crowdstrike is an EDR tool (Endpoint Detection and Response) tool. I.e. a protection against hacks. Here's a fast link with a fix ...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The point is pretty simple. Every manager up and down the chain needs to prove THEY are the magical manager who moves the needle for the company, at least in the eyes of whoever they report to. So each one wants to make things either happen faster, cost less, or both. The number of...

    Sales Career Thread - Uncapped Commission for Everyone

    Yeah, I've been in IT my whole career (since 18), in Cybersecurity for the last quarter century (since 99), and in sales since 2012. The sales path for me was through the reseller space for the first 8 years or so, now I'm in the big corporate vendor world. This has been one of those...

    I'm saying that when Evans bowed out it forced their hand into who would be Cap moving forward, which forced their hand on which stories they could easily run with... Know anybody who wouldn't prefer another movie on the caliber of Winter Soldier? Know anybody who thinks this will even...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think their biggest problem was that Chris Evans straight up told them he was done and not going cap anymore. Forcing them to pull the trigger on a storyline passing of the shield, or just recast and hand wave things (like the change to Harrison Ford). I have a feeling is Chris Evans even...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've gotten to do quarter miles and laps in a few cars in my day (cue Vivaldi in the background)... In my car, I can get a respectable 4.2-4.4. And it's pretty exhilarating and fun. Then I got to do laps and quarters in a Ferrari (488 GT IIRC.. This was around 8 years ago). And that can...

    MLB 2024: Rangers Conquer Texas, Then America

    This is why you do trades in your own wallets, not on Robinhood, and use one of the many services that will track and properly report cost basis. Then again I'm not one of those massive day traders in crypto. And to date I'm still essentially just a 50/50 etc/btc split with a tiny bit of...
