If you dunno how to work a shredder then you don't belong in an office environment. Imagine IT having to come show you how to set up and work a shredder.

I fail to see how IT couldn't help with this.

Literal definition of not my job. I dont replace the toner in printers or unjam it for them. I dont replace door knobs. I dont fix the plumbing. I dont plug in shredders for people.

My first IT job, they made me change the ballasts in the light fixtures because "anything with electricity is IT's job" according to the CEO. Glad I got outta there.

It was a small construction company that didn't hire union laborers, so I think that's all you need to know about the quality of place.

My boss was a moron, and I ended up doing all the server deploys/maintenance (he was the type to just call up vendors and have them do everything). From what I understand, he lasted about 4 months after I quit before fucking something up majorly and getting fired. I believe the company is contracted with an MSP now instead of having on site IT.

Felt good about that, because on more than one occasion, I knew he tried to throw me under the bus to make himself look better for his fuckups, so as a last "fuck you", I invited him to get beers to reminisce at a bar I new was about a 45 minute drive from his house after I found out he got fired from an old work colleague. I totally ghosted him.

IT people are not electricians. They are not appliance repairmen. They are not carpenters. They are not maintenance workers. They are not your desk or office decorator.

Imagine needing someone to tell you to simply plug it in and feel pompous and righteous about it. Hello, Karen.

Maybe I should send an email to their bosses boss about this incident. Or just silently put any of their tickets as lowest priority

So you use this as yet another example of why you're so valuable to the company

You should embrace the pathetic level of intelligence your work colleagues have so you can leverage it during raise meetings

Im too much of a wuss to ask for a raise. I just keep hoping they give me one automatically
I wonder if one day their level of intelligence gets so low they think they can hire an MSP to replace me.
