I’m in our daily standup and it’s turned into exchanging fucked up sysadmin redundancy tales.
One place I worked lost a machine room. They’d fired people so fast that nobody remembered where the boxes were any more.
I knew, but they didn’t ask me. Oh well!
The cycle of IT binge and purge is eternal. Post your tales here.
Company Z:
Oh God. I worked as an NSE with F5 for seven years and had the opportunity to join dozens of “oh God everything’s fucked” calls, and autosync was a factor in the majority of them. I’m not sure why you would want half-finished virtual servers pushed onto your active production devices, but damn if people weren’t doing that all the blasted time.
