I heard it was a Cisco backend issue, can they get that dumpster fire of a company to pay for it?

Was it? I'd love to read about the details if you have a link handy.

Internal comms at work. Not able to share, source isn’t in my dept.

Cisco doesn't pay for outages they actually cause. There's no way they're paying for an outage someone else caused, even if it was Cisco's shitty instructions that were the problem.

With Cisco, every end is a backend.

5 whole dollars? Can they afford that level of generosity!?

Unable to do my job all day because of this only cost me a couple bucks. Definitely not more as I only make a couple dollars each day...

Fuck you att

What a joke. Lawsuits incoming. Then you get a $10-15 check in the mail

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty sure that If you accept the $5 check you can't sue as you've already been paid.
