I worked for a UK company and sadly they became more bureaucratic and willfully ignorant.
There was a new UK manager who had zero concepts of technology, physics, electronics, geography, or anything else except reading email messages back and making excuses.
Me the technical person had my intelligence insulted pretty much every day.
One of the dumbest things I heard from him was that someone (me) should dust every switch cabinet regularly. It didn’t matter that one was about 30 feet on a high brick wall.
It wasn’t quite telephone sanitizing.
Pity the lost Goglafrinchams slain by the virulent disease caught from the unsanitized telephone :D
