I fucking hate stupid accountants!

Yesterday we went to a customer to talk to the accountants because we want to remove one of their unused PC's in the office.

First, just the way they think (and talk if) they are the most important and it's absolutely critical everything works 100%. I see they are important but not 100 times more important than everybody else!

They called us their EDP-guys (EDV in German, that's the translation I found). That insulted me a bit. I'm rather called IT-guy, I don't know anything about the fucking EDP systems nor want I to. I'm there to make sure the hardware works. But whatever, fine, call me what you want.

Then they straight up threatened us, because their work is so important, they can't afford to have downtime in their systems. They don't really care, but the bosses of us both do and if we fuck up they (the bosses) will hold us responsible. There is a fucking update for your piece of shit software (datev)! I don't do the update, I'm just responsible that the update can be deployed on the hardware. I'm not responsible if this update fucks your system and frankly I don't care!

I could tell them all of this but they won't listen. They always talk in this patronising arrogant voice, because they are so important and we better don't fuck up the update.

I'm there to help. I don't want downtime for your systems. I want you to work with our systems the best you can.
But fuck you, I hope the server burns down!

    Can't you just penetration test your company, send them phishing mails and report them for bad sec habits?

    Trigger the fire alarm and while they are out, do your job.

    @whoneedsgit Pentesting without written permission will get you fired no questions asked.

    @beggarboy It's always better to ask for permission before you start penetrating

    @trickory I bet it'd be a wonder working during a fire alarm. I don't know what they use for extinguishing, but I'm pretty sure it's something... :p

    @ScriptCoded If the fire alarm is even working. I wouldn't bet on it.

    There is a lot of frustration with accountants that underline the challenges that can arise in professional sense. I am sure that you had a breakdown in communication or understanding with different department. As an Accountanting student, I know how hard is to do all those calculations, so I check https://assignmentbro.com/ca/... resource for assistance. The experts with my tasks and it is a great example how effective collaboration and clear communication could be of the great use for the final result. It is crucial to find the constructive ways to bridge gaps between teams to increase productivity.
