Can someone put a goddamn trigger warning in the thread title until all of this is sorted. I honestly think I might be having a panic attack.

I've put the change request in for board approval during next week's meeting.

Next week's meeting is cancelled due to holidays by the way. The soonest meeting after that is February 29th 2019.

Can we make it so nobody can delete folders to prevent this from happening again?

My entire team except for Abby, James and Sheila absolutely needs to be able to delete any folder in \2017. Abby should be able to delete things in \2017\2018\drafts and below except for any .docx files in \2017\2018\drafts\final\external. James and Sheila should both be able to delete anything in \2017\2018 and \2017\2019 but not \2017\2018\drafts\financial and also Sheila should not be able to create new files in \2017\2018\final\drafts\fy17. Please reply when this has been implemented.

Hey guys I just learned that Weatherman was terminated last week, and of course his supervisor didn't put in a ticket. I've reached out to HR to confirm; helpdesk, can you please disable his user accounts ASAP?

Wait, I talked to legal and we can’t disable user accounts because that looks like discrimination and they’re worried about getting into trouble with the EEOC. Instead we need to change their password and tell HR, their manager, and their emergency contact what it is.

I'm laughing a lot at this one as I've been off for the last two weeks and come in today to find that, despite next Monday being a public holiday, someone has sent out emails with a bunch of deadlines for my direct reports for Tuesday. As you can imagine, a lot of people have taken Tuesday off as well to give themselves a four day weekend, so I guess this guy is going to be disappointed.

Yes the app has been in production for months, and all dev tasks are unplanned/SLA-driven and require quick turnaround, but we need to adhere to agile and vote on the complexity/importance of every issue on the roadmap and lock the work for the sprint on Monday morning

Sometimes government contracting sucks monkey balls, especially when the Program and Project Managers get bored. And then there's days like yesterday and today that remind me why I still do it. Water main broke in the building. First floor is flooded. Building supervisor tells everyone to not bother coming in as the building is closed while Civil Engineering fixes the leak and cleans up the mess. Check again today and building still closed. I get to stay home, and thanks to how the contract is written, I still get paid. 5 day vacation!!

Don't worry, your projects won't be affected at all unless that other manager guys hears about this and asks us to include his stuff in the initial rollout. But that shouldn't happen.
