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.
