I work in IT. This is the kind of stupid joke we live for. I'm pretty darn jaded but this is absolutely something I would lean into. I'm disappointed in the IT manager who is the subject of this post.
I worked in an IT helpdesk a few years ago. Imagine the same joke told hundreds, thousands of times until long after it has gone stale. There is a point when it isn't funny anymore.
Maybe I'm just a stupid asshole lol.
I've been in IT for almost 20 years. There probably was a time in the middle of that run where I'd have felt like you do. There comes a time where things go full circle and you get so jaded that you decide to accept or even embrace the stupidity. I have up laugh at objectively dumb shit or I go insane. Helps me save my "angry energy" for things that really need it.
