Daily 15 minute status meetings.
Yeah, but then I just tell myself, "at least you're still getting a paycheck."
I would probably shoot that boss. Just saying.
OK, or maybe kill them slowly by offering them artery-clogging Taiwanese popcorn chicken every day.
And they are fighting me on changing this.
By "own Microsoft account" do you mean their personal one or a work one? While you could use a Microsoft account as a work account IMO there is a better way for at least decently sized organizations. Instead it should be setup so they go to the appropriate portal, sign in with their work account (so John@company.com not John@outlook\hotmail.com) which is validated against the company's directory service and they are then given access to appropriate documents, servers, configs etc. This allows easier account management since you have one authoritative account control (in this case AD) that you can use across cloud providers and don't have multiple places to manage account access (O365 users\groups + Azure users\groups + On prem users\groups + AWS users\groups). This also makes it easier for users in that they can use the same credentials when logging in regardless of whether its office.com, portal.azure.com, signing onto their laptop, or aws.amazon.com/console (although there are some potential caveats to aws)
This is exactly why I left corporate work & went back to freelance. I wanted to be held responsible for my plan, not someone else's idiotic implementation (no sugarcoating it here! haha). This way, I can pick & choose what projects I want to take on, especially because there's always an endless supply of people who need help with their computer systems. It's the beeeeest when people are willing to choose your option for how to approach a project they want completed! And it's usually situations like yours, where they're fighting you on really awful implementations that should absolutely NOT exist, lol. Makes you feel like you're being punked!
I meant a personal one.
Yep it allows personal use. And probably anyone else in the world with an email account.
So any personal Microsoft account / e-mail account that is listed on that client's corporate domain as having access could be hacked into due to whatever shortcomings in the setup of that account / provider's security policy, resulting in access to corporate data from anywhere? Not to mention the mixing of personal and business data / metadata in a user's Microsoft account.
What happens when an employee who's been using their personal MS account to access corporate stuff, are any efforts made to 'de-corporate' it, or is a laissez-faire attitude adopted such things? Just aside from not knowing just how much data gets hoovered up by MS that unauthorised users could potentially rifle through at some point.

I'm in the unique position that I don't have to shill for products or have any kind of agenda other than wanting to put in a good, solid system for whatever problem needs to be solved, so managing it & maintaining it down the road become easy because it's setup properly up-front. It can be very, very difficult to do that when you're not an outside contractor because committees happen, people with agendas happen, people who aren't qualified to make the right decisions happen, etc. And then you're the one stuck taking the blame when things go wrong.
One of my motivations for flying solo is that I had a boss who was paranoid about antivirus software & thought it was all a conspiracy where those companies created the viruses themselves in order to get people to buy their products. Maybe that's true, but you still need to buy antivirus if you're running a business system with private data that you don't want to get hacked. He refused to buy any sort of protection for their server fleet or personal desktops, citing that people should just have better browsing habits & then installing a website tracker (but no anti-virus!) on each computer. That was one of those situations where the decision-maker wasn't qualified to be making the decision, because he didn't understand banner-ad hacks & zero-day exploits & all that baloney. Yeah, they got hit pretty hard down the road, and fortunately, it was after I had left. Really unfortunate, but I'm super glad I didn't have to take the blame for that one...
Lmao, oh billyMy boss claimed that vodka was a type of whiskey.
