When you work in IT, you must use critical thinking skills at least once in a while ... right?
@GayDeceiver Only sometimes, yeah, as little as the job will allow.
@GayDeceiver
I don’t bother thinking at all unless things become critical 🤷
@Nerde
Your own little kernel panic, eh?
@GayDeceiver

@GayDeceiver

Yes. But also you must be overridden by executives who do not. Which is why you must document everything.

@jrdepriest @GayDeceiver
You'd think after all this time and so many case studies available for review on public fora such as the MaliciousCompliance subreddits, that it would be part of the MBA rote by now that "anytime you give an instruction, and you are asked to confirm that instruction in writing, you should probably rethink that decision carefully before proceeding", but here we are.

"MBA? More like MFing Ahole, am I right?"

@jrdepriest @GayDeceiver

BS (abbrev.): Bull shit
MS (abbrev.): More shit
PhD (abbrev.): Piled high, Deeply.

@jrdepriest @GayDeceiver If only for the satisfaction of pulling out that documented decision later for "I Hate to say it, but I told y-" "Cmon Spruce, we're all a team here, no one likes 'I told you so'" "Yeah, but if the "team" aka "you" had listened to me then - you know like the dozen other times I was right about similar things yet had my advice ignored - we wouldn't have wasted three weeks and half a million dollars fixing this collosal fuck up."

@jrdepriest @GayDeceiver

<adjusts glasses> "Well maybe we should put you in charg-" Yes! Please! I've been begging to be put in charge for nearly a decade now. We would all be three weeks and half a million dollarydoos richer!

@GayDeceiver

<looks around covertly> Maybe... Who's asking?
