Sounds like a BOFH
Smartest IT guy.
Not IT Professional. IT Guy.
Big difference. My dumb ass could be an IT guy. I can fix printers and replace peripherals. I can’t troubleshoot a database. I am not an IT Professional.
Hey you created my job.
User privledges, only troubleshooting and robbing Peter to pay Paul with stolen peripherals
FTFY
Pls cross post this to !illegalism@lemmy.dbzer0.com lol
Close your eyes OP, I’m about to say a naughty word.
Stole.
The term is reappropriate. And it is perfectly legal according to congress.
No, that’s the TrackPoint™
Clit mouse?
Any system that can be gamed, will be gamed.
KPIs and goodhart’s law ❤️
Corporate KPIs don’t even need to be that perverse. A slight misalignment causes massive inefficiencies.
Power corrupts, IT management corrupts absolutely.
We’re truly fucked as a society if the word “stole” offends/triggers/shocks anyone.
as a thief, I am offended. btw I’m suing you because your transgender flag in your bedroom triggered my PTSD when I was “re-appropriating” it.
Well I’m counter suing because when I got served with your lawsuit, it gave me the nastiest papercut!
It offends advertisers. To be honest I would be really interested in seeing if anyone has actually studied if any of this shit even does anything. Like it seems like complete nonsense that seeing a coca cola ad next to a post about theft would make someone less likely to buy coke in the future but we are currently ruining society based on this premise.
I do get tired of every piece of every thing we produce in any fashion being something to monetize somehow for ad revenue.
Hard agree here. The internet was better before every single aspect of it got monetized. It was cool when ads were just banner ads on websites sometimes with silly gifs.
I don’t know if anyone has studied it, but I know why it exists
It’s to sell higher quality ad slots. When a company goes to buy ads through AdSense, they get a ton of customization options. This one would be something like “avoid mentions of criminality”. And a lot of companies just check that, because why not?
Companies do actually care about appearing next to NSFW stuff, because it “taints their image”
How much does it actually affect sales? Who knows, marketing has kind of lost the plot, and Google has been caught rampantly lying about conversion metrics and the ad slots themselves in all kinds of ways, so I don’t think the data to answer that question actually exists
I know why it happens, I just refuse to believe that these ad spaces are actually higher quality by any meaningful metric, especially considering how much they are ruining society.
I agree with that, I think marketing as a whole is largely a way to hack human behavior, and because it’s so insanely profitable it’s such a soft science it’s basically witchcraft
The real question is: how did the receptionist file the ticket?
On screen keyboard would be my bet. Another few possibilities I can think of would be on their phone, or even in person.
Another pc in the building? Asking a colleague? There’s 100s of options really…
“Hey ! Isn’t that my keyboard ?!”
Companies probably tend to buy identical (and often shitty) keyboards in bulk for everyone not in middle management and above 🤷
“But this one has my post-it note with all of my passwords”
My bet would be they made up a funny story for internet points. But maybe I’ve been online too long and become cynical.
IT,
Thank you for replying to my ticket. Unfortunately, the key word in your recommendation appears to be censored. Could you take a look at the safety filter and try again?

I just lost my job if anyone from work reads this wtf nsfw
Does the company also happen to have a cobra problem?

This is 100% correct in the IT world. I have a split IT dept due to mergers (its a whole thing, people are fighting to not give up knowlage on systems so their position looks useful to mgmt… its fucked) and the other side of the fence are the most useless window-lickers ever because their tier 1 just closes things almost at random to bump their numbers up.
It’s a huge problem in any industry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo_cross-selling_scandal

I have no idea what this phrase means but immediately knew who you were talking about.
Does anybody else’s company do this with laptops? You tell them something doesn’t work so they take it and just give you someone else’s that had an issue they didn’t fix?
Sort of. Only because they don’t maintain their asset register correctly and the ticket system is shite. Dodgy equipment does end up going out but not always at the fault of the person issuing it.
Um no… I work for a normal organization that has a financing deal for laptops and they don’t give a shit how many we go through as long as it’s not the contracts upper limit. Honestly I wonder where all these laptops go at the end of their 3 year term…
Hard drives are wiped and sold as “refurbished” to cheaper companies.
An anecdote tells of the British government’s bounty on dead Indian cobras giving locals the perverse incentive to start breeding the snakes, to be able to kill more of them
Thank god for censoring “stole”. I don’t know what I would have done had I been able to read that word.
The advertiser overlords would have to rain death from above.
Better close your fuckin eyes then 'cause I don’t play this game
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously stealing. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men stealing together because of this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
This is the plot of Ocean’s 69.
Due to your comment, you have received a note with positive connotations in my client.
I read the word st*le in your comment and was forced to take candy from a baby.
Please, censor your comment to protect the innocent.
What’s “stole”?
Don’t you mean st🔴le?
It’s a type of scarf.
