It's very liberating isn't it? I haven't a clue what most people are on about

In annoying things I'll just go with my car :|

People who have absolutely no idea about what I do writing an article for a corporate magazine and submitting it without my approval. Now everybody in the company thinks I "look after laptops and PC's" (which, technically, I do, but it's about 10% of my time managing the teams that actually do that work).

However, the other team manager was here to amend his piece and now his teams entry states "without X's team, your IT systems would grind to a halt".

Yeah, thanks for that masterclass in incisive investigative journalism!

To be honest, to the layperson, that doesn't really mean anything more than 'look after laptops and pcs' either, just sounds like somebody has tried to make their job sound more important than it is

lol, well, the article actually specifies that they do not work with PC's or laptops and goes on to mention well known systems used by some of our clients, so it's not quite as simple as my post.

I don't want to paste the whole article as this site is searchable in google and I don't want our comms team to find me bitching about them on here

.

Anyway, my ire was more that others had been consulted about their roles, while my article was based upon made up rubbish by a tame reporter who has no idea what I do, she even made up "quotes" from me, so now any readers will think I actually said some of the garbage written (although, let's face it, it's an internal magazine, so I bet the readership totals around 6

).
