So like one in five desks at work have some sort of issue. Screens/docks not working. Chairs are missing or broken. Meeting rooms can't connect to the network. Absolutely amazing.

Whoever is sabotaging this, I applaud you, you mad mad bastard.

I'm also being super vocal about stuff not working correctly, making sure the managers who really push for office days hear me.

We had a monitor nicked the other week. Local IT put on the trenchcoat and went investigating. Found it attached to a gaming rig 3 levels down. We're not 100% sure what this person needs with a gaming rig, but apparently they have approval for it. Local IT called it an emotional support RTX 3080ti.

That is beyond amazing. Look, I'm guilty of grabbing the comfiest chair available when I get into the office. But i'd never consider appropriating IT hardware. That's some balls

Do you work in my workplace, I'm having similar issues and am on a similar war path about it all.

I can't say too much but formally, yeah.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I can't say anything formally either, but 'Hi neighbour'

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TBH in my head you rocked up wearing the Guy Fawkes mask and cloak from V for Vendetta anyway.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a cape not a cloak!!!

A CAPE!!!

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it has a cape, but it also has a hood. Is that not a cloak WITH a cape?

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

My one is a classic cape. The hood doesn't fit well over the fedora

Oh, I mean I used to work there, but my department may or may not have recently vacated.
