A company that preaches (to the EXTREME) bout proper communication, best practices, and ITIL had senior employees who decided to just bypass all cnotrols to try to resolve a problem that they had no idea what to do with. it failed, and made it worse. It got funny when it was forecasted that they would try to reinstall the app next as a joke...and they did.

[alkemyst]

you realize since you are bringing up good communication, that chat session was more of a monologue. Did the guy you were talking too even care?

 

[chalmers]

I hope you don't talk like that in real life.

Quoted for your boss

 

[torpid]

Wow... I was with clamum until he inexplicably threw in a racist comment...

 

[randay]

tldr

 

[ViviTheMage]

too many hands in the cookie jar

 

[Sumguy]

I just realized theres some other guy in this conversation. I couldn't tell under the massive spam of "Me"

 

[KAMAZON]

hah! Well all the feedback was good but the point still stands! How many of you guys have been in a 'more talk less work' environment where even the top management doesn't give a crap 'bout process, but then shoves it down your throat every chance they get?

Your username doesn't contain the name of your employer perchance, does it?

some of you IT employees might find this humerous

i came in to say that your story tickled my funny bone, but wasn't able to read the incredibly long post

LOL


On a side note, it seems AT has gotten more A.D.D over the last 8 years <.<

OR I have became WAY too sloppy in my writing.

My guess, both.

Just wait till "the other guy" forwards that to the management team.
