Hi All,
Back at Work facing Dilbert hell. I need a KPI number to be issued a Laptop & ID Credentials fine apart from the fact I need a company email to request a PKI, which can't come from any other account (it has been tried). So to get on to the system as a new starter I need to use my company email to request a PKI, but I can' get a PKI until I use a system that I can't use until PKI , whats worse is I need to use my company phone (which you guessed it I need a PKI to be issued with to get the access code for the task on Monday). At the monent they have me using a surface that isn't connect to anything, even the web. so Monday I am lightly to be standing outside (hopefully not in the rain) trying to do a job that has been needed since last year and very shortly to incure penalty fees Because the Covid restrictions caused everyone panic about security.

Are you permanent or contracting? If the latter then things may not run smoothly (voice of experience).

To be honest I though it was a contract, they seem to think its permanent...

There's a reason why the words "onboarding" and "waterboarding" are so similar.

In companies I've worked in, there is a buddy assigned to support in all these issues. In fact I've also been a buddy to a new joinee, and have helped him in all such things.

Funny, My week started by shipping a laptop to a new hire. (non-programmer role) She is an admin working from home and can install whatever she wants on it. I like to keep things simple for myself.
The unwanted challenge now facing me is training and keeping the new hire busy while getting my own work done! I didn't agree with this hire...it was a done deal before I was 'asked'.

I once ran across the same catch 22 BS, go park on the head of HRs desk and tell him you are being paid x$ per hour to do nothing.
I can relate to the unconnected Surface, they gave me an unconnected 386 (in the days of the pentium). At which point I returned to HR and repeated the exercise, took 2 weeks to get set up (the contract was for 1 month)

Whats next limiting their food imports to only steak, champagne and chocolate? I was under the assumption other nations were trying to deter the invasion not encourage it.

You mean sanctions? They're nice symbology, but doesn't prevent trade.
The biggest weapon here is not sanctions, but media.
