Search - "worst reviewer"

We have to use this tool in work for classifying new and existing projects for GDPR. Long story short you have to fill out a REALLY long questionnaire, then it gets reviewed by someone in legal. The tool will also assign you tasks and suggest actions to common issues (e.g. suggesting a banner to explain cookie policy if you tick a certain box).
I have spent about an hour trying to re-assign the assessment I started, as i'm due to leave the company in a few days, to the guy taking over from me.
1. There is a “generate shareable URL” button, with the ability to click a button that says “replace me with the logged in user who opens this”. All it does is duplicate the name and description fields and send a new copy to that person, with no access to any of my other content or answers.
2. I did find a re-assign button eventually, again all it does it create a duplicate, and throws and error saying names must be unique when I try to save it.
3. While I couldn’t find a way to do that, I did find another button to at least assign the reviewer. It told me i’m forbidden to change the reviewer on assessments i’ve created.
This is THE WORST piece of nonsensical shit on earth. The entire application is absolute garbage and sssssssooooooo slow.
When you first create an assessment it brings you to a page that has all the questions, makes sense right? Wrong. All the questions are in read-only mode, and they are simply there as a "this is what you can expect to see later on", telling you whether or not they will be freeform, multiple choice etc.
The way to actually answer the questions is to click the "start survey" button hidden in the "status" dropdown.
I don't have much advice to anyone around GDPR, but please stay the hell away from TrustArc. -
Fucked up.
Reviewed a code and gave ship it for a colleague's code change.
In a single day, got high severity ticket cut to the team.
I am done. Not going to do anymore code reviews. I suck at it.3 -
Did some changes and raised a code review. Some lines' indentation don't align. The senior dev (reviewer) asks me to format according to the project scheme.
Changed all tabs to spaces; lines don't align.
Changed all spaces to tabs (with a heavy heart); surprisingly it still doesn't align!!
I'm like okay, let's dive deeper.. Found that the surrounding lines were indented this way: 4 spaces followed by a tab..!! SERIOUSLY!?! WHY? HOW? I mean how does this kind of shit happen?!
Worst part -> getting ship it after following the current convention! -
Well, I am not sure whether this is supposed to be about worst experience as a reviewER or a reviewEE so I'ma do both. First as a reviewer.
So, on my first project in this company, I introduced automated build scripting (read: suggested, was "volunteered" to do it, then had to bust my ads to get it done). Prior to this, our process was run the thing in Visual Studio a bunch of times (don't ask) and package the resulting files. Well, new requirements made this not sustainable.
So after many many meetings in which I assured my co-workers that the script wouldn't cock up and go sideways and format our server (HOW???) and showed them how to work it AND added all the features they requested. I finally send the script out for code review. Oh the joy. Questions like: "why did you implement this?" Came from the guy who told me to implement it. "Can you change the formatting?" I checked and no. "Why isn't this to the code standard?" Because the code standard doesn't include scripting languages.
And here is the piece that takes the whole piss soaked shitsicle pie "I don't understand why we're doing this in the first place. We have a build process already, why do we need a new one?" FUCKING REALLY?!?!? YOU WERE IN THE GODS DAMNED MEETING WHERE WE DECIDED TO DO THIS!!! SET OUT THE REQUIREMENTS!!! LITERALLY EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS SCRIPT YOU WERE THERE AND YOU'RE ASKING WHY WE'RE DOING IT NOW!?!?! Fucking hell. I forced it through anyway because I had the higher ups all signed off on it, but seriously. Just because we're doing something new that slightly inconveniences you, doesn't mean it doesn't need to be done. Stop being afraid of change.
Side note: these people actually would regularly hold up process and product improvement because change is scary.2 -
HOW TO HIRE A BITCOIN RECOVERY EXPERT—> DIGITAL HACK RECOVERY
It was one of those days when nothing seemed to go my way, and I hadn’t even gotten my coffee yet. I updated my phone, thinking my life will become easier, but I actually locked my $350,000 Bitcoin wallet out of my device in the act. I cleared out my saved passwords in my update, and I couldn’t access my coins and my wallet. Worst part? I hadn’t taken a backup for such a purpose.
I panicked and, in my state, I chanced to view a review for a restoration service for a wallet on YouTube. I saw a reviewer who experienced a similar debacle, and I couldn’t but sympathize with him. He testified about Digital Hack Recovery, stating that their professionals restored his wallet with ease and professionally. I had nothing to lose, and I took a chance and contacted Digital Hack Recovery and inquired about possibly getting them to work for me, too.
The moment I contacted them, I felt I was in capable hands. The group was incredibly patient, calm, and assuring, a godsend in my state of panic. I communicated my issue—how my phone update cleared my passwords—and they guided me through my next move in language I could understand and follow with ease.
Their process was transparent, beginning to conclusion. They did not go in blind and not tell me what they were about to do; they took the time to notify me of how they planned to go about retrieval, step for step. I appreciated immensely how direct and transparent they were about what I could and could not possibly expect. They did not make any kind of claims about overnight success, but they did make concrete claims, and that helped me not freak out and have trust in them knowing what to do with it.
And to my surprise, in a matter of days, my $350,000 in my wallet was restored to me. I could hardly believe it when I received confirmation. I couldn’t even try and begin to describe the feeling of relief I received when I received it. Not only did they regain access for me to my $350,000, but they even provided me with information about securing my wallet in a smarter way in the future.
In reflection, I saw how important it is to have a sound backup in case your assets in crypto go down—and I happened to have discovered Digital Hack Recovery when I most desperately needed them. I don’t simply appreciate restoration of my monies; I appreciate peace of mind, and I appreciate it for years to come. Talk to Digital Hack Recovery Team through⁚
