This probably applies to every industry, but wither enforce the cleanliness standards or remove them. In general, I feel this way about all rules, but specifically we have to maintain a certain level of cleanliness per company documentation. It is loudly championed and there is signage everywhere. However, in practice, it’s rarely enforced. It drives me insane.

People should have the basic understanding how something they use daily works and what it needs to work.

It should not be necessary to have public speaking skills to excel in IT. I didn’t waste hours of my life watching Ted Talks so that I could get a CISSP salary. I gave away my youth and free time to online courses, RFCs, Wiley books, home labs, and all that more so that I could just make ends meet.

Society sides with the extroverts who already excel at doing public speaking and expect everyone else to fall in line to appease the extroverts instead of just accepting that some people have skills that work here, and others have skills that work better over there. I hate making things so black and white—and I’m sure in the right environments/situations, people can improve on this kind of skill but I just don’t see why. Put me in front of a terminal and I’ll do my feckin job. That should be it. Don’t try to turn me into a monkey.

It’s not “garlic aioli”. All aioli has garlic! It’s “plain aioli”.

The place I’ve worked at for over a decade now Darth Vader’d the deal and implemented mandatory scheduled overtime after cutting crews to skeleton. I’d rather get fired than work overtinme, so initially I refused all of it without justifying why.

After a year of doing that a manager tried to scare me into complying, but I just kept asking what the minimum amount of days I’d have to work OT per year and he refused to answer, and I never got written up.

So I work 2 OT shifts a year. They still haven’t fired me 6 years later. I guess training a new guy in a specialised position is too much work vs putting up with my stubborn ass.

I work in IT and the worst thing to deal with is a manager who is also a super tech. Techs need to do tech and managers need to management .

Accountinq/management should adapt to the company way of working and not the other way around. I’ve seen project getting split in a way making no sense technically speaking, and product getting senseless names/reference but this is how SAP works, and accounting needs it that way

If you can’t spell the word, I doubt your expertise in that subject. If you can’t spell a lot of words, then the doubt increases. If you sound like a used-car salesman (“the ask”, “the spend”), a cliquey teen (“literally”), or a moron (“till tomorrow”) then I will judge you as such and know I don’t need to read anything you write.

Kids should learn phonics

Am I tripping even harder rn?

Water isn’t wet. In the same way my clothes aren’t clothed and bacteria aren’t sick.

And didn’t even credit the original question. Such a coward.
