      As a department lead, I was invited to a party to celebrate all the IT engineers they just hired. Theyd be in charge of managing our servers and hardware. These were dudes (and gals) who probably had more degrees than most companies combined, and probably build OSes for fun.

      One of them wore a shirt with a animal on it, and a non-tech made a bad joke about furries. They all just stared daggers at him.

        that non-tech spent the next 3 years wondering why every single internal service would fail for him in particular

          Cyber Security Report somewhere -

          We found malware operating the camera. But it looks like it just checks the user’s face against a single object called “jerkface”? And if it doesn’t match it doesn’t do anything. So anyways we tried to get rid of the code but for some reason the entire system collapses whenever we try. Everything from customer facing to back end storage just black holes itself.
