      I hope you’re having an amazing day! I am a windows fan and user, just like YOU! I will do my very best to help you solve your issue. I know you have had a bad experience and it must have been very hard for you. But rest assured, i will help you to the BEST of my ability!

      Please try running the troubleshooter.

      (troubleshooter doesn’t fix anything)

      Try reinstalling windows. Goodbye!

      And then they fuck off and stop reponding.

        This is every forum response on MS forums, it’s infuriating.

        “I have super specific error code with super specific driver that was changed with super specific windows update.”

        “Me too!”

        “Same, here’s some more info from event viewer”

        “Maybe try uninstalling the device”

        “Uninstall my WiFi card?”

        “Hi I’m bob from Microsoft you should run sfc scan now and that will fix it”

        “That didn’t fix it”

        “Ok here’s how to reinstall windows”

      As former MSFT employee who just got replaced by India… I’m kind of relieved I’m gone. Working for them felt like working for the bad guys

        What did you expect? That corps would solve climate change or what?

        The pigs on the very top are secured and that’s enough

      As someone working in the Microsoft ecosystem at an MSP, we seriously wonder what the fuck goes on over there. We’re supposed to defend everything y’all do which is getting really hard to justify without sounding like idiots.

        Hey there. Learn how to stop carrying. A job doesn’t define who you are and you’re at least free to be anyone outside the working hours.

        I learned to be a cog in this inhumane machine in exchange for a paycheck
