<p>I'm not sure what industry this was in, but neither reflect my experience working in Telecom and HIPAA-related environments.<p>We couldn't push any fixes without full UAT/validation testing. No "install own paging systems" would be tolerated on national phone/video networks or anything HIPAA related. We wouldn've been walked out the door ASAP.<p>I think it really depends. We had critical SLA and support levels we had to respond to. If a backup was called and there wasn't a very specific reason the primary was not able to respond, there would be consequences.<p>I hated not being able to leave or do something spontaneously (especially on a weekend, for example), because we always had to be near. Of course, all that would change if they made it attractively worth my while. But almost nobody does. :)</p>

<p>> I noticed that too. They are being overworked. 
> They are still relatively happy, 
> but I see their stress levels rising.<p>Don't feel too bad for them. Drivers are the most desired position. When I worked there guys were waiting 10-15 years to make it to a driver.<p>They bid on routes, based on seniority. Some bid on late routes (i.e. boxes where the last pickup is 7:30pm, etc.) on purpose as anything over 8 hours was time-and-a-half. Back around '00 they started at $50k for drivers, so it adds up.</p>

<p>> Often I'm sitting <i>at work</i> with my headphones plugged into my computer to listen to music...<p>Perhaps the videos aren't reachable via his work network, or the OP doesn't want his "work" to know what's being viewed at the office? I'm sure there are other reasons to use a cell network (which is the assumption).</p>

<p>I certainly understand the frustration and 'hurt' expressed by what is in the article. And there are some questionable circumstances and decisions, yes, along with unwillingness to work with the poor.<p>But it's not as if these people are being pushed into mass graves with a bulldozer. Or willy-nilly flung around without respect.<p>Most of these stories were of people already forgotten - strained relationships, mental illness, or otherwise out of contact with their loved ones.<p>If someone hasn't spoken to another member of a family or friends in a number of years and kept in contact with the caregivers/caregiving facilities, and their only contact is with someone who is paid to care for their most basic needs, how can we entirely blame a system for not going to utter lengths to 'restore' those?<p>Another sad reality is: some people don't care.</p>

<p>You are absolutely right, and they should have been punished.<p>But those loans also shouldn't have been granted, which was the bank's responsibility. Most of them should have been caught during underwriting and verification. What, exactly, were they doing?<p>This is a deception or failure on both parts.</p>

<p>I never do the export/import process for that exact reason.<p>If I need to move a VM for some reason, I copy the entire VM directory to the new location then open VirtualBox and use "Machine" -> "Add ..." and select the directory with the VM config and files.<p>I hope that helps, unless I missed something.</p>

<p>We're an external partner pulling data via a 24/7 Windows-based web service, a system of record. The three we work with are all Windows, but three is likely a blip in their system count.<p>All I know is it's weird how they and their vendors manage the systems and environments. Glad it isn't me!</p>
