Yep, he had no business in the server room touching anything. Typical of the arrogance of some managers that their title gives them knowledge far above their techies, who actually are working their butts off in an effort to help them look good.
About late 90's, we purchased a big Raid-5 Rack, something like 76 hard-drives. We wanted the wholesaler to deliver it and install it on site before we took possession.
Procurement over-ruled that decision and said for security reasons, the large 'computer item' would be delivered to their off-site warehouse and their guys would bring it by. We got a call that the procurement guys had just left it on the dock, come down and get it. Someone noticed a few dents and scratches. We had the service rep come out and look at it, and he said they had delivered it crated and intact.
Finally one of the guy made the decision to plug it in and see if the drives would even churn. They churned all right. The unit had been knocked over on its side and all of the hard drives began eating themselves to death from all the internal damage.
The bottom line, we lost the Raid box, and Procurement would not replace it, denying they had done anything wrong.
When it is technical, and you don't know what you are doing, don't play games and pretend. Kind of reminds me of a certain resident on Penn Ave., DC
Oh ....damn...
ROFLMAO!!!
