Wow, it looks like this is the closest our schools have ever been at preparing students for life in the real working world. I could have written this myself about work (with a few changes noted below):
Classes that I did attend were quiet and empty.
would be:
Meetings that I did attend were meaningless and pointless.
I arrived at school and promptly went to Study Hall...Second period I had another absent teacher...Third period I had a normal class period.
would be:
I arrived at work and promptly went to the break room...Second meeting I had another absent manager...Third meeting I had a normal standup, but no one was prepared and no one cared.
90% of the conversations spoken by students concern COVID. It has completely taken over any function of daily school life.
would be:
90% of the conversations spoken by I.T. workers concern AGILE. It has completely taken over any function of getting any real work done.
One teacher flat out left his class 5 mins into the lesson and didn't return because he was developing symptoms and didn't believe it safe to spread to his class.
would be:
One manager flat out left his team 5 mins into the meeting and didn't return because he had no idea what we were talking about.
I’ve removed the name of my school as it made me uncomfortable sharing such information, but I’ll say that it’s a specialized high school. This is occurring everywhere.
would be:
I’ve removed the name of my company as it made me uncomfortable sharing such information, but I’ll say that it’s a Fortune 500 company. This is occurring everywhere.
This is around 10% of my school. As of Monday, only 30 of whom were reported to the DOE ... which just seems like negligence to me.
would be:
This is around 10% of our transactions. As of Monday, only 30 of which were reported to the auditors ... which just seems like negligence to me.
I spent about 3 hours sitting around today doing nothing.
(Didn't have to change a word.)
Congratulations OP! You are officially ready to join our I.T. department at Megacorp.

- edw519 5y agoHardly. OP is complaining about inconveniences that are standard everywhere I've worked for years. I noticed it immediately and pointed it out. Open your mind a little and you too may notice interesting parallels between the lines of code. It's way better that your reptilian "Most Snarky of the Year" response.
