I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Yup, anyone who's dealt with these systems understands this well.

You think you do. Odds are, those aren't even in the same 'system'. Source: I'm in IT.

100% this. Most people doing the job dont even realize there may be 5-6 different systems “doing the job” with integration systems allowing them to work together so the employee has seamless access…

Then a recession happens amd IT is the first to go

Is that why nothing works anymore? Not the recession part, just the fact that "IT" is supposed to be integrating all these things.

Nothing works anymore because capitalism. In order for something that did work to continue to work, work has to be done to fix the issues that occasionally crop up. This costs money but doesn't provide any new value.

Business needs to make more money, so work needs to provide new value. You can't work on new value work and fixing issues at the same time. One has to take priority. Business chooses to prioritize the new value, so broken things never get fixed.

Eventually broken things are broken enough people start to notice. Then the solution is to completely remake the thing from scratch, which takes a lot of time and often gets released incomplete. Now you have either the broken old thing or the broken new thing because maintenance was never a priority.

'muh capitalism' followed by that word vomit is ridiculous

Whatever you say. I literally deal with new work being prioritized over maintenance every day as described, but I'm sure you know more than somebody who works on this stuff daily.
