It never left. It's just been silently waiting in the shadows for its revival - like the magnetic floppy disk that wants to start ticking again like the clock you used took at before cellphones.

@trinsec

Oh yeah, everything is logged. Lines are being drawn, so here we are at a crossroads- I'm patiently waiting my turn while others are distracted with fussy feelings.

Pissed off coworker today.

Listen buddy, if you're butthurt because someone who didn't invest as much as you did- is capable of meeting expectations, that's on you.

I'm good at what I do because I care enough to rapidly learn and adapt- not because of what I did 12 years ago.

Future drama ahead. Wouldn't be surprised if tires get slashed.

>>Hmmm... What kind of gray? If it doesn't hurt anyone, I think it's fine.
It has to do with security policies. Most people in the company aren't readily capable to mitigating such problems. My experience in such things is one of the reasons I was brought in.

>>Also, you mentioned that "set the company back years of progress", which I assume it's not you leading the company into this gray area, instead, the company is already there.
The company is behind- i'm catching it up. The current policies are restrictive as to prevent people from making really bad mistakes- ones that most dont care about to pay attention to. My plan was to wipe my hands of it after I was done- and let someone else take control after.

>> What did the leader say?
I'll find out in about 8 hours

@skyblond

Coworker is upset that I traveled into a gray area of activity in order to save the company a lot of money. Now I'm threatened to revert back to the costly way of doing things which has thus set the company back years of progress and millions of dollars.

@trinsec

I was told by a coworker that they would report my actions(meant to be made public anyway at a later date in a meeting) to the authorities if I didn't stop immediately.

What I did wasn't illegal, but it is a gray area per paper policy- and widely frowned upon vocally. However, the higher ups I talked to already encouraged me to do so.

So now I have to establish a meeting before my coworker does(if they haven't already) and display my non-presentable results. This will not look as nice, as the $$ hasn't been made easily communicable yet- it's still in a non-fungible form.

What gets me, is that I fear that my accomplishments may come off as intimidating- whereas it was always a norm at my previous location. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about people being afraid of changes- or efficiency.

@trinsec

Implementing time saving measures to save the company millions of dollars annually- against company policy because most people are not savvy enough not to break things.

@kkarhan

If it actually worked, they'd make more affordable options so that they could take in more money.

If it actually worked, hospitals would recommend it like IT repairmen recommend data recovery services.

"According to a 2019 whitepaper by IDC [pdf], 60 percent of all data is cold, yet remains on HDDs. Johns argues that this presents an important opportunity for big data corporations to transition to an alternative, tape storage, a more sustainable form of data storage which would reduce their carbon footprint.

If organizations worldwide collectively transitioned all their cold data, a collective 60 percent of all data, to tape, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by data storage across the globe would fall by 58 percent, a 79 million ton reduction in CO2 emissions, Johns calculates.

@kkarhan

People need to look at the history of cryofreeze(it's not new, just technology changes) and realize that it's all failures until someone comes out as living proof.

To date, there's not a person who's survived cryofreeze.

It's all dust and echos. Empty promises.
