Hey, thanks for stopping. Are you going all the way to Alpine Valley?
"But hey, at least you still have a job!" Is the new "Case of the Mondays."

The validity of my bitching is somehow detracted from by the fact that I have something to bitch about? Go to hell, it's work and everyone bitches.

Oodles of Wootles posted:

Can someone that works for a major company talk about bureaucracy? I have to deal with a major company all the time and the amount of steps we have to go through to get the smallest thing done is mindboggling. I usually have to go through 2-3 weeks of "we are escalating to the next level" just to get a drat email sent or a job scheduled.

I've been "teamed" to death. There's a "team" for every god damned thing in my company. The whole organization that I live and breathe in (the IT branch of the corp) has been so ridiculously compartmentalized that it feels like nobody has any authority to do anything anymore. On top of that, they're dissolved and reformed without reason or notice so if you try to get something done that you haven't in a while, there's a smug email about how you need to be filling out such-and-such form you've never heard of and contacting such-and-such team you've never heard of.

A lot of my complaints are probably somewhat at fault of the fact that I'm a remote IT admin in a company with a HUGE main office where all of the IT authority resides. I'm pretty sick of being treated like I'm a dick for not following a policy because I was never told.
