A few days ago, an artist from North Carolina BJ Smith cut straight to the point and tweeted, “Why are IT guys such [jerks]?” I get his frustration. When I signed with my current ISP, they sent over an employee to connect me to their network only for him to criticize me for the mess that was my apartment complex’s cable layout. As if it was my fault.
Usually, these rhetorical questions remain unanswered. But not this time. People working in the industry took their time to reply to BJ Smith. They described the (toxic) nonsense surrounding their jobs, reminding people that everyone has a boiling point while painting a pretty good picture of their everyday routine. One that most of us were probably not aware of before. So continue scrolling and check out what IT workers have to deal with. Maybe it’ll help you find some common ground the next time you have them over.
