  • At one of my prior positions they outsourced all the junior engineers to this firm that only had windows desktop support experience.

    Actual escalation I got:

    contractor: I am trying to remove this file that is filling the drive but it won’t let me

    me: show me what you are doing.

    contractor (screenshot): # rm -f /dev/hdc

    another one did rm -rf /var to clear a stuck log file, which at least did solve the problem he was having.

    After that I sent out an email stating that I would not help anyone who used he rm command unless they consulted with a senior first. I was later reprimanded for saying I wouldn’t help people.
