    One of my bosses (yes, I DO have more than 1) has a sign on his desk- “nobody knows what I do until I don’t do it.”

    Today they downloaded 23GB of porn to an external ssd and lost $1,235 in their personal portfolio.

    Don’t fuck with the lead IT person.

    “But why don’t you block the porn, Reygle?” NEVER interrupt management when they’re making a mistake.

      I’m confused, you let them download porn at work because they have a sign on thier desk indicating thier value isnt obvious?

        It is more “this manager thinks he is one of the core people” but the commenter has logs and proof that he does nothing all day except break company policy. If the manager ever decides to fuck around and fire people, he gets to find out pretty quick.

          OP seems to not understand the sign…

          Dude probably does nothing 90% of the time, but if he’s not there for at least part of that other 10%, everyone is fucked. Positions like that do exist.

            This isn’t one of those cases, but I agree those can exist. They don’t justify a salaried full time position though.

              unfortunately those positions do justify full time positions frequently as otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone within many hours to do it
