      Ubuntu 13.10 though... Why such an old release?

      Probably becuase that's what they were made with and sat in a warehouse for a while.

      They just need to be upgraded. Seems like a good use case for Salt/Ansible for hte school to manage them. Unless they are just giving them out as-is. I didn't read very far.

      The school system setup a software deployment system which installed specific things(no details provided) but no mention of upgrading the OS.

            Just had a good conversation with the Texas Wage board 🙂 They are ready to go after my former employer who owes me a small fortune; and, here is the best part, they recommended that I have a chat with immigration and customs about what they've been doing here in the US and maybe have their border crossing options limited (e.g. welcome to this small but comfy holding cell to hang out in while we consider letting you leave.)

                  He's meaning that logistics company that wanted him to move their hq from Qatar to Spain.

                        oh? you don't work there anymore? I missed that!

                        They officially let me go a few days ago (well technically, they can't let me go, my contract says a month's notice) but they gave me notice a few days ago because I demanded my paychecks.

                        As you can imagine, firing someone for asking for their paycheck doesn't go over well to the Texas wage board.

                        Right now they are looking at...

                        • Not having paid wages.
                        • Running a scam (state gov't recommend I turn them in to immigration).
                        • Not paying their taxes (that's between them and the IRS, but this will flag them.)
                        • Unemployment claims.
                        • One month's pay for notice.
                        • Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
                        • Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
                        • And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

                                • One month's pay for notice.
                                • Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
                                • Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
                                • And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

                                OH DANG!

                                Yup, the state said "You should call ICE, they can seize them at the border." Tee hee

                                DOOOOO IT!!! I hope they pay more just for wasting time!

                                Oh I'm going to. They are doing anything to stall and avoid paying. This isn't going on for much longer.

                                    Just had a good conversation with the Texas Wage board 🙂 They are ready to go after my former employer who owes me a small fortune; and, here is the best part, they recommended that I have a chat with immigration and customs about what they've been doing here in the US and maybe have their border crossing options limited (e.g. welcome to this small but comfy holding cell to hang out in while we consider letting you leave.)

                                    You mean Citi?

                                    He's meaning that logistics company that wanted him to move their hq from Qatar to Spain.

                                    oh? you don't work there anymore? I missed that!

                                    They officially let me go a few days ago (well technically, they can't let me go, my contract says a month's notice) but they gave me notice a few days ago because I demanded my paychecks.

                                    As you can imagine, firing someone for asking for their paycheck doesn't go over well to the Texas wage board.

                                    Right now they are looking at...

                                    • Not having paid wages.
                                    • Running a scam (state gov't recommend I turn them in to immigration).
                                    • Not paying their taxes (that's between them and the IRS, but this will flag them.)
                                    • Unemployment claims.
                                    • One month's pay for notice.
                                    • Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
                                    • Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
                                    • And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

                                    If you haven't worked or did any work for them for YEARS, why do they owe you so much money? Or did I miss something?

                                        I haven't worked for a company unrelated to the conversation for years 😉 I'm not sure how the company that I've not worked for for a very long time got mentioned, but it is not part of the equation.

                                          The company in question, the one that I'm going after, fired me over the weekend for asking for my paycheck. That's wrongful dismissal even in at-will states. But they also waived at-will status, so there is even more to it.

                                          And then there is racial discrimination, which will up the situation another step.

                                            I hope they get hit for everything in that list.
