On Nepotism...

• You said: You need to set up a new PC for [Upper management employee]
• I said: Why? What's wrong with the one [Upper management employee] has?
• You said: Wireless isn't working?
• I said: Did you do any resets?
• You said: no, I'd have to reboot the computer and it takes too long.
• I said: ... did you re-install any drivers?
• You said: No.
• I said: I could probably fix it. I mean that's what I do here.
• You said: No, [Upper management employee] is getting a new PC and that's pretty much final.
• What I heard: You pretty much want to kiss ass by replacing hardware that isn't broken. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a task that takes 3 hours instead of the 15 minute task that you are too grossly incompetent to accomplish.

On Humility

• What you said: It's working now, I didn't try any of the things you suggested but just tried again the old way. I'm not sure what's different but thank you.
• What I heard: After making you spend time troubleshooting something you knew wasn't broken it totally miraculously worked. Hooray! It's unthinkable that I could have been wrong, I don't owe anyone an apology for being a total jerk about it and wasting your time!

On "Learning"

• What you said: Can you put together a list of the different procedures for the different power management resets and post them so I can see them?
• What I heard: I can't be bothered to learn these basic troubleshooting steps on my own and so as your manager, I will instead use your competence as a crutch and hope to god that nobody realizes how little I actually know about this job.

Vices

• You Said: "I'm giving up all my vices"
• I Heard: "I haven't had anything to contribute recently and have decided that the most interesting thing I could do right now is make a baseless proclamation I will most likely abandon in a matter of days"
