Being told to reduce the security policy in a VPN client to establish a session killed me today. I actually had my forehead on the desk and the guy next to me was like "Wow what's that reaction?" ... which just finished me.

I have absolutely no words for the irresponsibilities that this company drags along with itself without even knowing why or how they matter in the slightest. If they go under, I am the first to run. If it wasn't for me being an apprentice and needing a completed apprenticeship in my resumee, I would have quit a long time ago.

Don't do cloud, if you don't know Linux. Windows is not made for that, no matter how hard you force it; no amount of RDP can save you.

If you have to reduce a security policy in some VPN client, then your connection IS NOT secure, and you should upgrade whatever is hindering it (in this case, apparently the "firewall can't handle it"? I call BS - it runs linux, and even a 3.x kernel can do TLS 1.3!).

And, as good as a ticketing system is for tracking work and activity, if you force everyone to ask for approval FOR a new ticket, its more of a hindrance than anything. Since they switched me to asking for a ticket for whatever self-teaching I am doing (Nix, Telegraf, Influx, Grafana - all of it from the bottom no less!), I have felt hindered and way less productive.

Seriously, I am so done.
