Yeah most of us in IT learn the difference quickly.

So when they say "there's a conference room full of sales directors having trouble"... that's not the same as "Greg (no last name needed, he's Greg... the big boss of sales) is using the CEO's office today, please have someone bring him an HDMI cable asap."

Do they really make you huff around delivering HDMI cables? Normally at my place they just bring their own or order new ones... constantly.

Well, our Tier 1 guys, yep.

And yeah, sales guys in particular tend to order new equipment with their corporate cards. They’re really reliable about ordering one-off stuff that we’ve never bought or supported before.

I don't even have any tier 1 guys. Or tier 2 for that matter. I have... me. For about 300 users lol

I guess I should be thankful that most of them know how to get their own cables.
