So it’s just like working in IT, then?
I started out working at Burger King, McDonalds and Wendys.
I received more break time working for those fast food places than I do now as an IT worker. What lunch? What break?
I took the day off yesterday and users were calling my cell phone!
Amen, been there, done that. I couldn't take a **** in peace, without being beeped. In fact I carried a second one in case I did not respond to first one. After I retired, the mere sight of a beeper unnerved me.
In the twilight years of career, I switched to a cell phone that took a message and responded with a get back to you message. Since my geological coordinates were not trackable on the early models, I could play hide and seek.
But not be outdone, executives sent runners to the those of us trapped in the men's room to announce and inform us "The Boss is having a meeting in 15 minutes - Get your *** in gear".
Finally I'd like to get my hands on the guy who invented posted notes. Upon to returning my cubicle space I found a multitude of them stuck to everything in sight.
