Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days...

And people confronted with this change their password from "p@55w0rd!1" to "p@55w0rd@2". Yep extra-secure!

A job I quit about 6mos ago required monthly changes. It was awful. And, yes, it absolutely led to me just incrementing a number at the end. I knew it was time to quit when I was about to hit double digit numbers.

you're saying not to hold a job for more than 10 months?

[–] AlecSadler 5 points 1 year ago

It was a joke.

But also, holding a shitty toxic job for 10mos took a mental health toll.

But also, I don't know, in some cases that might be good advice. Since 2020 I've changed jobs every 6-10mos and I'm making triple what I made in 2019, so that's nice.
