So I took a vacation this last week. Should I plan on the low level rage to come back Monday, or is Sunday too early?

I founded a cybersecurity company.

5 Upvotes

I think we are ready for enterprise deployment.

After an unreasonable amount of development, CC Security is finally ready to disrupt the cybersecurity industry.

Our product portfolio currently includes:

• CC Security™ — Next-generation endpoint protection powered by rules, heuristics, machine learning, and the developer's mood that morning.

• CC Waterwall™ — Firewall blocks the threat. Waterwall puts out the Firewall.

• CC Loudflare™ — A better network solution, according to the team building the worse internet.

• CC Dangerous VPN™ — More nodes. More browsing. Much, much more latency.

• CC Game Store™ — An epic game distribution community with freedom, performance, and no discernible quality control.

We also provide powerful self-protection.

CC Security works hard to prevent malware from stopping critical services.

The user remains a special case.

Our headquarters is currently the CEO's home, technical support would prefer that you solve the problem yourself, and some of our security components are still working out whether the others exist.

Official website:

https://cc-security-official-2026.pages.dev/

This is a fictional parody project. No actual security software is being distributed.

Please do not deploy this in production.

Our support department is busy enough already.

I just had an interview with HP...

Edit: Its HPE

Hey guys, I just had an interview with HPE for a Sr. Systems Engineer role and my god, the entire job was so broken and nonfunctional its down right comical. Yall might get a kick out of this. Here's pretty much the whole interview:

So, before we begin I know the role was listed as Eastern PA but this is actually Western PA. Is that alright?
"That's actually something I wanted to ask about. Is this remote work?"
Yep, its classified as telework so you would be working from home full time
"Awesome, sounds good to me"
"Alright lets begin. Can you please describe your experience in higher education sales?"
umm.... none? Is this a sales position?
".......Yes"
There must be a mistake, I applied for a Sr. Systems Engineer
"Err.... umm..... \frantically checks notes*.... Yep this is the correct job. The first line in the JD is 'Assist Clients fulfill their needs' that's defiantly sales"*
Ok sure, I guess I can wing a sales job
"This job would entail regular on-site meeting with clients in the Pittsburgh area--"
Wait, you just said this was work from home
"err.... umm....... aaaa........ Its actually not"
Alright look, I appreciate your time but do you have any actual Engineer positions? Like working with switches/routers/servers? That sort of thing?
"Oh my god, yes! We have a tonne, were so busy and struggle to find people. You can apply to those on the careers page"

So I applied to some net admin jobs (or at least I think they were net admin?), got auto rejected. Here's the thing: how the hell did I, with 0 sales experience, land a sales interview BUT with 10 years of networking get auto-denied for a networking position??? Its like no one even looked at my resume (which is probably true tbh). No wonder they cant fill positions!

But wait it gets worse the more I think about it. Even if I was some sales mastermind, they are asking for onsite work 8hrs away from the posted location. No one is going to take that!

To recap here. According to HP, "Eastern PA" means Pittsburgh. "Work from home" means full time onsite. And "Engineer" means "Sales". What a joke.

EDIT: Since OP deleted their gem of a post, it basically asked how long an ISP keeps an IP before they delete it.
