I’m in our daily standup and it’s turned into exchanging fucked up sysadmin redundancy tales.

One place I worked lost a machine room. They’d fired people so fast that nobody remembered where the boxes were any more.

I knew, but they didn’t ask me. Oh well!

The cycle of IT binge and purge is eternal. Post your tales here.

    My semi-serious suggestion:

    “That sounds great. I’m going to need to take a course in how to best utilitize AI, and the existing timeline will probably need to change. To really engage at expert level, I will go look at best-practices from experts. You’ll sign off on reasonable expenses, right?”

    Then book a trip to [interesting place] and get it expensed. Then look for a new job while promising great things in a few months time, maybe a year or so.
