@enderland Hah, you hiring? I thought you moved away from SAP? ;)

9:57 AM

Hah, we got another one?

I develop cross-module but I've mostly been working with SD, ISU, FICA, PM and a handful of others.

11:51 AM

@Lilienthal :P I was trying to rescue you from it!

@enderland did you know a SAP licence costs 3000 €?

@RaoulMensink Is it as low as that?

@Kaz per month

@RaoulMensink oh

yes that was how i reacted :D

12:19 PM

Hah! My company won't even spring for an MS Access license. So, we're going for SQL Server. Yes, that's right. Gotta love corporate logic

@RichardU To be fair, SQL Server is a much better option than Access. But seriously? They spend tens of thousands a year on an employee's salary, but won't spend £100 for a software licence. I've never quite understood that logic.

yeah, SAP is expensive

@Kaz look at it this way. You get paid 40k in year another 100$ on top no no no

@enderland I know of a 12 People Company with SAP

@RaoulMensink that seems really dumb to me

@Kaz I know it's a better option, but someone developed a tool using MS access which we could have ported right into our systems. NOPE! Forget the man hours saved for them to actually use the tool. Gotta wait 2 months to get a SQL server instance

12:25 PM

I called the CEO and told him he was an idiot

he said he liked SAP

@RaoulMensink Well hey, if it's his money (and in a company that small, I assume it is).

For some reason, Germany is in love with SAP.

@Kaz he makes 25mill a year

@RichardU The Netherlands

Waste Management corp Sued the HELL out of them in the USA

Germans sue everyone and everything. they just dont make the News like americans :D

12:29 PM

germany is in love with processes

12:41 PM

@enderland Nice comment about the email :D

1:03 PM

@RaoulMensink I'm a TEENY bit familiar with the country. I still have relatives there.

@RichardU do they speak dutch or?

1:32 PM

@RaoulMensink They are all in Germany. Most of them in Stuttgart or Pforzheim

2:00 PM

@RichardU oh you ment with Germany

I'd love to live in Germany again someday

Sicher?

2:32 PM

@RaoulMensink Here in Germany it is for example illegal to make and publish audio recordings of private conversations. StGB § 201. — Philipp 7 mins ago

In some jurisdictions there are laws which forbid to release private communication without the permission of both parties. — Philipp 35 mins ago

Some People... are just a Little weird

@RaoulMensink this is true though, states have different laws on this

yes, but thats a completely different situation

the question is about text Messages and if your Boss is allowed to send them to HR

I said there are no laws that forbid him from releasing his private communication

I know german law we got nothing that forbids me to release what I or someone else said on watsapp for example

Feierabend :D

lol, I love seeing a -2 and then wonder what answer got downvoted only to see it was one from 2 years ago. Alrighty then.

Q: Underpaid and underchallenged in a brand new role

8:48 PM

@ChristopherEstep those drive-by downvotes are annoying.

Anddd.......................

Today on the whine list....

-1

I have been working as a contractor for a few years in my field and interviewed for a perm role at a company I've wanted to work at for years in an experienced hire role (so I thought). I was offered lower than my requested salary at interview and they didn't accept my negotiation (but did give ...

Why don't we ever get a post about "overpaid and overworked?"

@ChristopherEstep I'll make a note to semi-randomly hunt down old answers of yours and drop you a downvote, since you love it so much. ;)

LOL
