Yeah, when he said he knocked over his chair and walked out, I would've been calling him back and asking HR and OD if they thought that if it was worth my job, why isn't it worth SMD's job?
Fun fact... While watching this video, load shedding happened and had to switch from my home wifi to mobile data (it costs an arm and leg in South Africa) to finish the story.
How did that SMD not get fired on the spot for that? And sued for costing the company millions? What kind of nepotism is going on in that company cripes
Honestly I would have fired the sales marketing director right off the bat no Angel butts and I would have given a stiff warning to the ops director not to do that again and anything else like this happens again you'll be automatic termination no ands or buts about it
Exactly. Weed out the bad seeds immediately, directly and firmly. Sales Director is nothing but a scummy blowhard and deserves to do nothing more complicated than picking wheat.
Nooooo …. King Rob, you absolutely, positively MUST post the outtakes regarding the drunken raccoon! How can you withhold that from us, your loyal subjects? (Lest we rebel … 😈)
I worked in IT for a communications company before getting burned out and going into trucking (long story). But delivering freight and being in enterprise IT have one thing in common: someone else writes checks with their mouths that you end up having to cash with your own a$$. Gets pretty old after a while.
Thats funny you had to re-record that "drunken racoon" part 4 times, cuz I had to listen to it about 3 times just because it was so stupid I didn't think I was hearing it right. 😆
Good afternoon! I’m having a lazy day on my day off from work. Relaxing and enjoying the new KCC video sounds wonderful to me. Thanks for the video, Rob.
"One day the girlfriend's dog got into the server room and pissed all over the UPS batteries." Well, as I'm sure you're aware, water conducts electricity, but not very well, so if batteries get wet, it's not normally a major problem. However, dog pee is acidic and conducts electricity almost as well as copper ...
Don't think you know more about IT than IT. Also only thing worse for a company than bad managers, is bosses who dosen't see that managers are bad or won't get rid of them.
How the hell was SMD not fired and held on criminal charges for straight up stealing the diesel fuel? Regardless of whether load shedding was done or not, it was not his to fill his personal vehicle with. Apparently quite the tolerant company for dip shittery.
Should have been fired for the first massive that happened when he tried to get him tech guy fired (steeling fuel after and still not been fired what up with that company)
That prick cost the company millions.. and nothing happened? That's it? How deeply unsatisfying.
I'm surprised, too. However, OP got poetic justice knowing SMD was an idiot and how he was the cause of losing clients.
Yeah, when he said he knocked over his chair and walked out, I would've been calling him back and asking HR and OD if they thought that if it was worth my job, why isn't it worth SMD's job?
OD may not have had the ability to fire SMD.
When you went into those bonus stories I literally said "please and thank you" out loud lol
Fun fact... While watching this video, load shedding happened and had to switch from my home wifi to mobile data (it costs an arm and leg in South Africa) to finish the story.
That is interesting. I didn't know this term before (load shedding) but we do it here in my area, too.

I have to say OD really did not have OP's back. It's why he didn't stand up for him and threw him under the bus.
🤣 I'm not a computer "god", but that server story, is HILARIOUS!!!

"... no Angel butts..." 😂😂😂😂
First time I'm hearing no Angel butts. 😆

That SMD must know some deep dark secrets or is related to somebody very important.
No one gets fired for that? Something smells really wrong...
It's just dog piss....
Smells like nepotism. I'll eat my hat if MSD didn't know or wasn't rated to a top brass figure.
BTW, OP … no upper management in this company? There was no one to go to to tell them about the cluster F that was going on?
Thanks to OP and KCC for this interesting MC...

Holy crap. Who's balls was SMD waxing to avoid being fired???
Hold on, the Sales and Marketing Director wasn’t fired after that event?
As an IT guy I completely agree with how they describe IT rules being set up

Guano hits the propeller :)
Good morning Rob
Happy Hump Day everyone
Thats funny you had to re-record that "drunken racoon" part 4 times, cuz I had to listen to it about 3 times just because it was so stupid I didn't think I was hearing it right. 😆
SMD and Ops Director both needed to get sh*tcanned with extreme prejudice. But alas they got away with their horrendous decisions
You should include bloopers of you laughing at funny parts, ive seen r slash do it and its pretty good
I have bloopers in quite a few videos at the very end :)
Good afternoon! I’m having a lazy day on my day off from work. Relaxing and enjoying the new KCC video sounds wonderful to me. Thanks for the video, Rob.

The SMD should have been fired numerous times, and arrested at least once, for his actions. Yeesh.
And that is what happens when you let them damn raccoons do all the coding!
I need that blooper now.
Thanks Rob!!! Have a wonderful day today!!! 💖💖💖💖
Good morning Rob Happy Hump Day 👍 Have a great day everyone 👋😃🤗😎
The coke and lsd would be an upgrade
Have an excelent day, Rob
A Flippin tire cost HOW MUCH?! Buy a Brand New Vehicle for a fraction of that
Don't think you know more about IT than IT.
Also only thing worse for a company than bad managers, is bosses who dosen't see that managers are bad or won't get rid of them.
🤣 Raccoons in their pants!🦝
Malicious compliance is my favourite game and I always win because I always play by the rules
Good day Rob from mid Tn. I hope everyone has a great day.
Good morning
South Africa uses the "rand" as currency.

Wow, I was sure the two hire SMD and OD were going to get into trouble. I guess not. Oh well.
And this is why you don't do development on a live system...
Ah configuring Nagios. Those where the days.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
SMD is a...lovely person. 🙄
IT guys do you realise, 99 % of the people don’t understand WTF you’re talking about? This was a total boredom trip , forget it!

Gdi never ever bring a dog to your massive server farm
Thank you for the fun stories. I got my booster shot finally and everything hurts. Even my hair hurts.
Let's gooo
Someone please tell me that man got a Darwin award, pretty sure we could do without his brand of sintelligence in the gene pool.
First
Should have been fired for the first massive that happened when he tried to get him tech guy fired (steeling fuel after and still not been fired what up with that company)
I'm convinced the Sales Mangler knew someone in the company brass to not just lose the job, but outlast OP in the company.
