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.
 
ROFL LOL LOL ROFL

At about 11:26:00 I would've said "yeah yeah I get the fucking point you mongoloid".

This is the only line that you need to read if you think TL😀R (and yes take it out of context).
 
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?

Quoted for your boss 😀
 
I just realized theres some other guy in this conversation. I couldn't tell under the massive spam of "Me"
 
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?

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

My guess, both. 😛
