    I know this is just a joke but why would he be calling HR instead of security?

    Any mention of a server room reminds me of the fable of the guy, we’ll call him Mike, who unplugged the Internet.

    I can’t remember where I read it, I think it was greentext on Reddit years ago.

    So Mike is an intern, and due to some weird circumstances he becomes the only network admin in the building. Well, one day he doesn’t esnt feel like working, so on his way in, he stops by the server room and unplugs the internet.

    He then goes to his desk like a normal day. Then he starts getting phone calls. Everybody is freaking out because there is no Internet. So he begrudgingly descends into the server room and starts playing video games on his phone.

    Close to the end of the day, he plugs the Internet back in and ascends a hero to the employees because they think he’s been working hard all day to give them internet.

    A building I used to work in got locks put on the bathroom doors because one of our senior devs would go out for a walk in ragged gym clothes and wash up in the bathroom when he got back, and someone from another company saw him in there and mistook him for a homeless person.

    Senior architect. Is that high? With title inflation the real deal is the super ultra mega architect.

      Not really. 1 or 2 promotions. Can’t forget lead architect, senior lead, principal architect, senior principal architect, distinguished architect, senior distinguished architect, and architecture fellow.
