Is it just me or is the world moving further backward in IT literacy? I am now up to 15-20 incidents a week that are legitimately resolved by turning shit off and back on. You have ruined our ONE joke

I think people Are becoming more and more scared of touching anything for fear of being blamed for some massive outage or data breach. Irrational? Yes. But people are generally stupid.

I've noticed that too. My theory is that because tech is generally more reliable people forget the basic troubleshooting stuff that you used to need to do once or twice a day. Very much an out of sight, out of mind thing.

Anecdotally I used to need to do a battery pull on my Blackberry every few days, now I restart my iPhone once a month. Now when my iPhone is locking up it takes me a few minutes before I realize a restart would help.

OP - I think this question misses the mark entirely...

Consumers are expecting 99.9% uptime, so you can’t fault them for not wanting to reboot their device ...

What kind of IT staff aug project are you working on that makes you able to fix 15-20 incidents per week by manually rebooting?

Look at it like cars too. Since 07 the US has mandated TPMS and I bet most US drivers under the age of 30 don't know what their tire pressures should be, or how to check with a gauge. The light comes on and they panic and go to the dealer. This was a self-solved issue 20 years ago

I fully support if you have AAA! 😂

My fun car (i.e., non-running, perpetual project, but sometimes autox car when running) is Merkur XR4Ti, so I fully support 80s RWD turbo cars that give you the biggest smile. I've now outed who I am as I'm likely the only BCGer with one 😂

Good point on the galvanizing. I've worked on a few 325s that had trunks rotted out by the batteries.

So lately I’ve been using the interns to get the engagement and work papers set up so I can go in and do the return. I don’t think it’s fair for their growth. I’ve seen managers do it so I’m taking part in it. But what do you think? It does help make me more energy but I can stop doing this too.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
