I drove 8 hours to plug an ethernet cable into a router (after being assured it was plugged in.)

I always check the uptime of the computer before I ask if they restarted their computer. People are fucking liars.

VP of Tech here. My background is mostly on the AppDev side, but by and large, "IT" guys are not dicks. Infrastructure guys though, are all dicks. The skills and focus required for that job attracts people with low tolerance for bullshit. Add the help desk factor in, and exposure to luddite business users, and hilarity ensues.

One time I customized my corporate email signature where everyone virtue signals theIr cause du jour with an icon of a power button and the words "Is this thing on?".

These faggots have no clue what Assholes IT used to be. And it wasn't based on gender or color. These Faggots intentionally made it that way. Respect was doled out based on knowledge. First time I came across a nigger online, he told me he was a nigger. There was no need for it, but the nigger HAD to.
Back in the late 90's early 2000's it was a frontier and the Sheriff was the person that knew how to get you out of coding trouble.

What I found shocking was how much the average person lies. I see the logs, I know everything you clicked on and when. There is no point in lying to me, I don't give a fuck one way or the other but I can fix it faster if you don't.

What kind of shit are they lying about?
I'd imagine it's like really, really mundane stuff, like "When's the last time you defragmented your hard drive?" and they say "Last week", when it has never been defragged in actuality.
Or is it nastier shit, like their porn use, or using shady websites? I understand people lying out of shame, don't understand people lying over that mundane type of stuff though.

Yeah, exactly that. 'I never clicked that' and the log will be like she clicked that 25 times in the matter of five minutes. Why are you lying to me about that?!? I don't care, I just want to fix it so I can move on with my day.

Since the behaviour justified an asshole response,being a dick seems like a an undeserved courtesy

In general There are people persons destined for sales or management.
Then there are engineers with engineers mindsets.
Very really do you find a people person with an engineering mind.

Yup! Nigger in the dept I supported destroyed 3 keyboards 'juzcaws I za niggah" too stupid to learn, and couldn't control herself. I told her I wasn't bringing her anymore because banging it on the desk is not ok. She gave me a look of pure hatred but the bitch never called for help again. Loved tech hated "end users" that were niggers and shitskins.

He drove 2 hours to press a power button. Not bad 2 hrs pay on a callout then 2 hrs more pay for drive home plus the base fee for doing this. I'd say that's stupidity is giving him job security. This is why you find someone that has some common sense, honesty, and computer sense at all to be the contact at that company who you use when contacting them to check something.
Unless you own the computer company that is being called out then this is great news for everyone except the moron that said that the server was on already since they likely paid through the ass to have that callout made.

if you know anything about IT and MSPs, the customer will call your boss, or whoever is in charge of you and complain and comlpain and that bill will get comped.

If it is comped then the boss is a pushover or he says this is the last time I send a man out for something a teenager could have figured out and done properly. Also they could give a break on the charge like one time at 50% rate then make sure they know to have a non idiot check the server state. It's like not turning on the monitor and say the PC is broken level of stupidity so either way the person that drove there HAS to get paid for the drive and if it's there own vehicle get reimbursed for any gas they used. Hell a good tech would have no trouble finding a new job if the employer decided to screw them over. Better just sit at work doing nothing in a non monitored area till your gas is reimbursed in pay even if it's a half a day of fucking off since it's just evening out the money they owe you.
