And now they believe that you can do shit, you just need enough pressure and MOTIVATION [threatening, demotion, salary decrease, OT, etc..].
Well done -
Kimmax109875ySo no backups?
What's up when the Hoster decides to wipe your database of earth's surface? (And yes I already had a customer who's Hoster deleted data of active customers on accident) -
-
Kimmax109875y@electrineer yeah my keyboard tends to capitalize random stuff if I don't switch to English heh
-
@Kimmax I don't care about the Hoster, I have weekly backups on and I'd me more than happy if Hoster wiped down the entire data
-
Kimmax109875y@nothappy so why not spin up a db instance somewhere else? 48 hrs seems to be more than enough, if the site should just be up again
-
@Kimmax I couldn't do anything about db service, I don't have the rights to restart it or contact the service provider

@netikras
I would view this as an opportunity to pressure them for a raise.
And when something similar happens next time, I'd be like "Maybe you just didn't give me a big enough raise."
Gotta be absolutely shameless these days. -
@netikras
Yes, very unethical, so I don't recommend it.
I'm just writing what I'd be tempted to do.
But not a lot of people view things as I do, with duplicity as punishment for others stupidity.
I'm not even a communist, and I know business people will fuck their workers as fast as they can, same way unions try and fuck their parent companies.
At the end of the day life is a fight of all against all.
