I was told by a coworker that they would report my actions(meant to be made public anyway at a later date in a meeting) to the authorities if I didn't stop immediately.

What I did wasn't illegal, but it is a gray area per paper policy- and widely frowned upon vocally. However, the higher ups I talked to already encouraged me to do so.

So now I have to establish a meeting before my coworker does(if they haven't already) and display my non-presentable results. This will not look as nice, as the $$ hasn't been made easily communicable yet- it's still in a non-fungible form.

What gets me, is that I fear that my accomplishments may come off as intimidating- whereas it was always a norm at my previous location. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about people being afraid of changes- or efficiency.

Implementing time saving measures to save the company millions of dollars annually- against company policy because most people are not savvy enough not to break things.

If it actually worked, they'd make more affordable options so that they could take in more money.

If it actually worked, hospitals would recommend it like IT repairmen recommend data recovery services.

"According to a 2019 whitepaper by IDC [pdf], 60 percent of all data is cold, yet remains on HDDs. Johns argues that this presents an important opportunity for big data corporations to transition to an alternative, tape storage, a more sustainable form of data storage which would reduce their carbon footprint.

If organizations worldwide collectively transitioned all their cold data, a collective 60 percent of all data, to tape, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by data storage across the globe would fall by 58 percent, a 79 million ton reduction in CO2 emissions, Johns calculates.

People need to look at the history of cryofreeze(it's not new, just technology changes) and realize that it's all failures until someone comes out as living proof.

To date, there's not a person who's survived cryofreeze.

It's all dust and echos. Empty promises.

I got threatened today for doing my job... Perhaps I should actually reconsider looking for employment elsewhere.

Academics, I beg you. Please put copies of your published papers on your website, arxiv, whatever. Not only because it's great for the broader world beyond academia (who can't get behind paywalls at all) but it just took me 15 minutes to try to figure out how to log in to some particular database to get a copy of a paper. I don't even like the 3 minutes it takes to log into the ACM DL versus copying a title into google. Follow copyright rules but you can almost always post SOMETHING somewhere.

You say you hear everything, but if that's the case- you're a really shitty person who knows what I'm going through.

Which means you shouldn't act surprised when I tell you it's happening.

Are you that big of a douche?

Older than dirt,

it will always hurt.

@eris @lewdthewides

We don't know each other well enough to share the same problem- thanks though. Your interest is duly noted for next Fedi-con.
