    Corporate sent me a laptop that kept not talking a charge, so I get on with an IT guy and we go through a bunch of steps then he has me open WSL and I’m like “oh this is just the terminal”. He instantly went from “this is a chore” to upbeat. After that he was super helpful and even called in a RMA for the dock that we figured out was the issue (we usually have to call in our own RMAs), then once I got it he called back and walked me through flashing it to the latest firmware, rather than just emailing the instructions.

    Insinuating that I may be a politician is the most insulting thing someone has said to me in a while, well done. And no I’m not, I’m just a guy who spent over a decade self-employed then went into the corporate world and tried to bring my innovate quickly mindset with me and very quickly found out that even a simple change requires that only affects my department required 5 different people from outside our department to sign off on the change and each one of them assigned 1 or more people to research and report on the change. Losg story short, after a while I found out what was going on and why nothing ever got adopted and I being a snarky asshole learned there corporate buzzwords and started stringing them into the proposals.

    Ah but you see there’s the problem, you don’t have a committee to launch a working group that puts together investigative teams to research and write reports on the benefit of the solution, the ROI of the solution, the training costs of the solution, stakeholder buy in of the solution, and potential alternatives to the solution. You need at least a 10 month process before one jackass says they don’t want the solution so the committee can recommend to management that the solution be abandoned.
