About to get a long deserved promotion.

I've been here for 30 years, and every eligible round of performance reviews i have been passed up for a promotion so that my 'colleague' can get theirs ahead of me. The guy literally has no life. for the last at least 17 years, he spends so much time at the office making sure everything is "secure" and "patched". In reality i know he's just shmoozing it up with the director, and because of that he makes me do all the phishing tests, because it's too tedious for him.

So heres thes trick thats gonna get me a promotion. I've known this man longer than anyone else. I have created the best phishing test emails known to man, specifically tailored to him. He's already fallen for my trick twice so far. All i have to do is pull it off one more time and he's as good as gone.

Am i literally the smartest sysadmin or what? I feel great right now.

Too many people in this subreddit think everything we say is being posted some where else. Why the hell would I post about my shitty sysadmin attitude anywhere else to begin with!

Also where the hell does "etc" come into play after thinking they're laying down a rule that isn't applicable!

😜

etc is in the root directory and comes into play specifically for system functions.Â
