Thank the gods our Lotus 1-2-3 platform is unphased.

And Air Traffic Control continues to trust floppy disks.

Pretty sure I know exactly what company too

You guys do good work.

Now maybe stop being a dickhead telling everyone how much money the company makes. It’s unbecoming

I would go old school and fax, but our faxes run through Outlook too.

Such a shame. Would hate for this to be permanent.

Like emails would matter at that point.

No matter what, this probably just made demand for my particular skillset (Cloud Security Architect) go up even more so that's a plus.

Although, the dudes who are getting shitcanned over this probably don't think so....

Can’t believe Microsoft hasn’t rebooted their PC yet…

Imagine being the guy at Microsoft who looked down at their phone at 1025am PST and saw “Bill Gates” on the caller ID.

Our entire business runs on O365 and we can get by without emails for a few days. We rely heavily on SharePoint if it goes down we screwed. Luckily SharePoint has remained up as of now.


As a SharePoint administrator, this cluster frick better not break syncs with OneDrive or im just not logging in tomorrow.

Security guys like myself sit back and giggle when shite like this happens. Enterprise is secure if no one can access it.

Well, unless we're the ones that broke it....then it's not as funny.

Just print it, sign it, stuff it in an envelope, put a stamp on the envelope, and drop it in the mail. In four-five days they will get it and you will get an answer in a few days after that after they follow the same process.


We have grown too incessant on instantaneous communication. I wish people could take a step back and appreciate a delay in communication.

There is this bit a comedian did about receiving a call from a wrong number. The caller was telling him about an issue at work and needing an answer or some guidance on an issue. So he played along and told them some corporate bs that sounded good to the wrong number caller. So they kept calling him for advice, eventually he had enough or they realized they had the wrong number.

I can't believe this shite is still ongoing, this is a major event

My job doesn't just completely shut down without O365, but we do use it for file transfers and physical scans. Some court dates will undoubtedly have to be pushed back, but there's some jurisdictions where physical copies and couriers still run like the old days.

Our communications aren't disrupted at all as we still use flip phones and radios, and the occasional Zoom Workplace

I can’t send out or receive bids on projects. This has fricked everybody’s shite up. Funny thing is I’m not pissed at all. I packed up and left the office. Can’t believe this is still happening.

I wanted to blame our cheap foreign IT department but this looks to actually not be their fault
