HR is IT for people. Do you think the IT guy cares about all the laptops in the company? No, it's a resource he manages. Do you think HR cares about all the people in the company. No it's a resource they manage. Companies try so hard to make HR look like high school guidance counselors instead of the ruthless hatchet men they are.
It guy here, I care more about the computers and tech than HR cares about people. Fuck HR
I know I feel empathy towards computers that are broken that I can't help anymore
When they won't even boot into a Linux USB drive, make funeral preparations. Pack the dead body in a box and ship it to the hazmat recycling facility in the sky.
I know right? Old piece of hardware getting retired? It gets new life if I have something for it to do. I'm looking at my Brother HL-5170DN from 2006 that got tossed because the 2nd tray kept jamming. Guess who doesn't need a 2nd tray and loves this printer?
My first home server was a decommissioned small business server. Was a file server for a long time until the hard drives started to go.
Yall IT guys are daisys thinking HR wouldn't stop at owning slaves
Oh you the new computer guy? Hey can you help me with the printer?
Have you turned it off and on again?
At least 3 times?
I see and what's your error message precisely
ticket auto closes due to age User receives an email, thank you for your time. Please contact us again if you have any other questions
I did but there is a power outage
Reestablish power to your office then try again
IT guy here... Uh, no. I resent that you would group us with HR.
At my work I keep advocating to give our underperforming hardware (aka old hardware) a second life by opening up sales for them instead of destroying them (except hard drives of course).
When my laptop was acting up and was kind of crappy... I replace the thermal paste and replaced the old failing hard drive with a new SSD. At laptop is now 14 years old (Intel i5-540).
scribbles or notepad furiously
Lobotomize..... Ex..... Co-workers.....
thanks for replacing the thermal paste, I’m POSTing now, but i’m still having trouble with (issue i’ve been told to open a ticket for but am refusing to do). can you fix that please
I care about the laptops. I care about them a lot. People return them in a shit state, I clean them up take care of them and then advocate to donate them to schools in the area.
HR are just that, hatchet men.
