in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

I'm in our daily standup and it's turned into exchanging fucked up sysadmin redundancy tales.

One place I worked lost a machine room. They'd fired people so fast that nobody remembered where the boxes were any more.

I knew, but they didn't ask me. Oh well!

The cycle of IT binge and purge is eternal. Post your tales here.

company X sounds like the sort of bad shit I remember from a DC my side of the world, which was so frequently broken in various states that occasionally you couldn't even touch the outside doorknobs (the heat would translate from the inside)

Y: oof.

Z: lol, wow. good on ya for leaving. no point sticking around in that kind of disasterzone. it ain't ever gonna get fixed by your efforts.
