The other day some IT loser nerd called for a plumber because he couldn’t replace the fill valve on his toilet. Fucking idiot tool didn’t even know how to shut off the water. The fucker makes more money than I do and he just sends emails all day.
Do you pay people to change your car’s oil? Do you call in an HVAC tech when your air conditioner’s capacitor dies? Do you bring your computer into a shop to have the storage upgraded?
These are all fairly easy things to do. I make good money replacing and upgrading storage in laptops, desktops, and other devices like Steam Decks, a few hundred a month from that alone. It’s nearly trivial in difficulty, like replacing the fill valve or the chain that connects it to the handle, but people pay and I’m not about to tell them not to.
It’s not obvious at all bro. I see unironic shit like that posted on here all the time. I live and breathe IT so I am all too aware some IT folks are fucking assholes about this.
That said I really do think the bar needs to be raised a bit. People struggling to setup meetings in Outlook in 2024 is not ok.
In the original post a person asks to learn and OP makes fun of them. It is totally ok to not be able to do everything right away, even if it is as simple as screen sharing or setting up an Outlook meeting. And if someone wants to learn it helps to show them instead of mocking. That is for the first five times they ask, after that they really need to visit a note taking seminar first.

Your fellow workers are not your enemy. The wealthy owning class who underpay you are your enemy.
Amen, comrade.
Whoosh

He’s being sarcastic. It’s calling out OP’s reasoning.
It’s like you people can’t read in-between the lines and are incapable of understanding satire.

Internet sarcasm is hard. Poe’s law and all, there’s probably someone who would say this unironically
