minus-square@garbagebagellink4•9 months agoI had something so similar happen recently where a link on our external site was down. This person calls me and it literally went: Them: “this link is broken. Can you tell them fix it?” Me: “there’s a banner at the top of the page that says they’re trying to fix it. Here’s an alternative link.” Them: “well that’s from last week so they should’ve fixed it by now” Me: “must be real broken then” Them: “well can you find their email so we can email them to tell them to fix it” Me: “no, they’re fixing it” Them: “well you’re IT can you email them to ask them how long it will be and tell me when it’s fixed” No that’s not my fuckin job bud. Here’s their general contact page if you’re dying for this very non urgent thing.
