Dear Steve in IT: It’s Not Me, It’s Definitely You

Let’s set the scene. My Outlook crashed again, my Teams notifications are multiplying like rabbits, and the printer on the third floor has entered a witness protection program. Naturally, I did what any reasonable employee would do: I called IT.
And then came… Steve.
Steve doesn’t just fix computers — he fixes nothing and somehow makes you feel like the problem is your very existence. I told him my entire project folder disappeared, and he sighed so loudly I thought my phone connection had dropped. When my VPN disconnected every five minutes, he muttered “user error” like it was a prayer. And when I admitted I’d accidentally hit reply-all to the whole company? He laughed. Out loud. For five minutes.
Steve, if you’re reading this, I both admire and fear your ability to fix something remotely while simultaneously rolling your eyes. But please stop blaming my Wi-Fi for everything. My Wi-Fi did not rename the CEO’s Zoom call to “Weekly Snoozefest.” That was you, Steve.
Post your vent, the resignation letter you wish you could send, a rant about "Steve" in IT, or any other office drama. We promise to laugh with you and not judge, unless it's about your reply-all, then we judge a little.
