    Going through my inbox and I found another phishing test e-mail ... from 2023-09-27. This one is "spear phishing", because it specifically focuses on certain tech fields that could be eligible for extra pay.

    There is some informed speculation that says return to office is really about indirectly propping up the banking 🏦 system … profitable loans went into building the various office buildings. If companies no longer need to rent office space, those loans will become worthless.

    This is the famous #GFY interview with Elon Musk. It isn’t the entire interview, but it clearly shows him telling advertisers to GFY.

    It must be really tough to twist this situation into “it wasn’t my fault; they’re the ones that did that” because he can never admit that his words and actions caused the it.

    White House chief of staff pushing to get federal employees to return to the office. https://www.axios.com/2023/11/30/biden-zients-federal-workers-return-to-office [www axios com]

    In a lot of cases, workers' productivity increased once the started working remotely. Even a team at $EMPLOYER reported today that their productivity is down sharply now that they are back in the office. That's probably even more true in open floor plan offices and cibicle farms.

    Or more accurately, they didn't want to state the answer, which answered my question anyway.

    $EMPLOYER #TechTeam is having a Q&A about "the cloud".

    I think our team's leader just pulled the "In my day, we walked ten miles to school, in the snow, uphill both ways" card in response to a question.

    Request for telephone contact has been submitted.

    I'm thinking that the issue is that they have no process for gifting a subscription, so using my account info with his payment info triggers their fraud sensors. The idea behind the telephone call is that there is probably one person in their organization who can override their systems and let the payment go through.

    But also ... they need to change this. No one is going to go through this more than once. If you have a decent training program, there are going to be some students whose studentship will be sponsored (paid) by others. Make that possible from the get-go.

    I have to call AT&T about my bill. They held my *electronic payment* for a week after they received it, then charged me a late fee.

    @clacke Wow. I said nothing about either "self-assured tryhards" or "the ambitious class". What I described is how normal everyday people approached a new job until 20-25 years ago.

    It isn't a perfect description. For example, a smoker was going to get caught 2-3 times sneaking off for an unauthorized smoke break before they either quit or learned to confine their smoking to their break times.

    I have never successfully made a payment with their processor. I am even moving my domains away from a registrar because they changed payment processors and no matter what I do, I cannot pay them.

    Adyen from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I suspected that it was because they’re dirty furriners, but even after I changed banks, it still didn’t work.

    \@bthall is trying to get me a year’s subscription to DataCamp. So far, there are payment issues. I suspect it comes down to their lack of a gift subscriptions system, so he is using my information, but his card.

    I’m going to suggest that he calls 📞 their support person to authorize it over the phone. Once he explains what he is trying to do, they can help.
