Getting less programmer_humor and more "I didn't get the promo" angry vibe from this.

Also a lot of “works for a small company” vibes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But try working for a big company. Most of these complaints aren’t your “IT Manager”s fault.

Yup.

"Empty Promises" is when Karen delivers a laundry list of unrealistic asks and you tell them "I'll see what I can do," and then work miracles getting some, but not all of them built.

"Forced Overtime" is when the only two people in the company who can fix the show stopper issue don't get to sleep that night because if they did then everybody would be out of a job the next day.

"Those eager to move up" are Dunning-Kruger sure they're qualified and capable of doing the work.

"Not considering suggestions or complaints" is when the person you're talking to doesn't understand why what they're asking for isn't a good idea.
