All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It's all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...

I changed jobs because the new management was all "if I can't look at your ass you don't work here" and I agreed.

I now work remotely 100% and it's in the union contract with the 21vacation days and 9x9 compressed time and regular raises. The view out my home office window is partially obscured by a floofy cat and we both like it that way.

I'd work here until I die.
