Hi /g/.
I am a standard office drone working in an admin role. I have recently been having issues at work because I struggle to interact with the people in our internal IT department which is hurting my ability to work effectively.
Long story short I am very bad at social interaction and I think I made them dislike me last week. Now tey basically ignore me when I need help
>Last week my computer broke whilst at work
>Couldn't open my emails
>Couldn't open any documents
>Got frustrated and called the IT department
>One of them came over
>Looked at my computer, couldn't figure it out and called one of the other guys
>I started to get frustrated at the slow pace
>accidentally snap at them and loudly shout 'WHY CAN'T YOU ACCESS WORD, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IT'
>take my fingers and loudly scrape them across my keyboard whilst shouting 'PAY ME I AM IT WHAT AN EXPERT I AM IN DOING NOTHING AND I CAN'T ACCESS WORD'
>they get angry at me and leave my computer half fixed
Every time I have had IT issues since I have called them and they have ignored me. I tried to walk over and apologise but whenever I go they write notes that say 'sorry, we can't speak, we can't access words' and hand them to me then go back to their work. In fact I think they might be fucking with my computer on purpose.
How can I paper over the cracks? I know some of you work in IT departments, what can I do to show I am sorry?

>Hi. The other day, when you guys came over, you caught me at a really horrid time. I was frustrated and angry, and took it out on you. Sorry about that. Here are some cupcakes for you.
>>54925167
>'sorry, we can't speak, we can't access words
>>54925167
Buy them a case of beer, you fucking autist.
>>54925167
Why dont you ask your boss or manager or something?
>>54925167
I'm going to assume you're not baiting me, but you're just a really shitty individual.
As someone who used to work in IT, you did the #1 worst thing an end-user can do. You bit from the hand that feeds. You're fucked. Your best option is to learn how to fix your computer by yourself in your spare time.
>>54925167
You're fucked, everyone thinks you're the psycho who doesn't know how to do his job.
Office environments are very sociopathic, you won't be able to shake that label they place on you
Word of advice: Never show any negative sides of your personality. They will use it against you

I am not buying food for them because then I will need to do it for everyone in the office.
I have tried to bake them cookies with the Microsoft word logo as a fun apology but couldn't make them taste good.
>>54925323
Because men love being shouted at and get homemade cookies as apology, right? Are you fucking married to them or something?
>working in network admin at a casino (install/configure/manage routers/switches)
>some big boss guy from another dept needs a VPN setup so he can access our servers from home
>puts the ticket into the helpdesk, ticket makes its way to the networking team after hours
>the guy put the ticket in while he was already at home at night and needed access that night
>guy is mad that we didnt work on his ticket after hours
>complains to the CTO. CTO complains to our boss. Our boss takes the hit and apologizes but tells us to keep an eye out for VIP tickets next time
>for the next 6 months we decide to fuck with this guy and never help him
>write scripts to disable the port to the switch he connects to at different times everyday
>remove updates from his computer, then restart his computer so the updates automatically install and take all day
>shutdown his computer remotely at random
>delete stuff in his share on the file server
>disable his AD account all the time or change the password
(we have random admin accounts that aren't tied to our names so hard to audit)
>guy complains more, we do more bad stuff to him
>still never setup his VPN so he uses paid services like gotomeeting
>we block the ports so gotomeeting doesn't work
never be a dick to someone who you may depend on.
>>54925346
He's obviously very autistic. Everyone is just trying to get him fired

>still never setup his VPN so he uses paid services like gotomeeting
>we block the ports so gotomeeting doesn't work
Jeeze that's fucking brutal lol

he just kept making it worse. all he had to do was be nice.
he would send out emails an CC everyone about how nothing is working and the IT guys suck etc.
so we just kept fucking with him.
at email login was SSO so we could reset his AD password and then get into his email. We would read everything and send emails to other execs. They were passing nudes around and other typically exec stuff. So we saved them all and would send random pics of girls and make up stories.
we'd delete from his sentbox and wait until the other people read them before deleting them frorm their inboxs too. that way no one could ever ask him about the email and show him

i like where this is going....

>>54925551
Honestly reads like a story of you abusing the only power you have in your life. That supposed VIP's true incompetence is that he hasn't gotten you all fired yet.
and folks, this is why you shouldn't get your children vaccinated
Moral of the thread - be nice.
>I think I made them mad at me
I've felt this at least 5-10 times per week at work for years and I've only had a few complaints put in about me and those are always from losers who complain about everyone, we must take all complaints seriously etc and never stay with this or the other companies for more than 4 months

also this, bring donuts or something. You can get out of being late for this, and also it will win points with everybody. Just make sure you use the word "may"
>I took it out on you
>I may have taken it out on you
>>54926185
This, kill yourself and know your place. You're gonna get your ass fired one day over something you thought was "a joke"

>How can I paper over the cracks? I know some of you work in IT departments, what can I do to show I am sorry?
You're a lost cause, if you weren't such an autist and chimped out over some menial issue and actually apologised you wouldn't be in this mess.
I had a sales person flip out on me because excel 2010 couldn't operate it's "Save & Send" function, apparently saving and attaching to E-mail is just "too much admin" for a big man baby to do.
>Network Consultant
>Clients are complete dicks to me constantly for things I have no control over ("Hurr the contractors that WE hired to do X did it wrong but it's your fault so we'll be sending your manager and CTO nasty emails about you and demanding someone else come out to finish the project")
>Have to sit there and take it because they are customers who literally pay the bills
I miss my network admin role where I had a 25 man helpdesk in front of me and I never actually had to interact with people - didn't pay that much but it was comfy.

>abusing the only power in your life, gonna get fired
kek, this was years ago. unlikely they could pin it on any of us when we controlled everything.
how do you abuse things you dont have control of anon?
>know your place
be a dick and people are dicks back to you.

>know your place
Spoken like a true beta.
