🧵1/2 Someone has a really rotten sense of humor today. I make a simple request of IT, and have to do it in a channel that’s truly horrible about doing things properly. Fine.
But then hours and hours go by. So I finally decide to run an errand for my son after lunch. I’m about five minutes from home, driving, when several people pop into my slack asking to help.
🧵 2/2 Uh ok. Can you wait five minutes until I’m home and won’t cause a wreck? No, as it turns out. By the time I reply again from my workstation they are all gone.
I can’t even describe how triggering this. Took a very simple task and turned into some horrible and painful in the name of security theater. So angry right now.
@btaroli I find it super exhausting when people do not understand asynchronous communication. And given they replied async already (well: kept you waiting) waiting a bit on their end should be common courtesy.
