‘His eyes got real big’: Manager demands IT employee stop fixing laptop and work on ‘corporate equipment only’, employee calls up CEO who requested the repair

To put it bluntly, you want to be on an IT professional's good side. Whether your computer begins glitching, your internet goes haywire, or you can't find that email that you just know you sent, something will always pop up in the corporate world, and it is best that you befriend the IT employee. Not everyone is as smart as I am though (please detect the sarcasm), and will say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person, AKA, the IT employee.

One IT employee was approached by the CEO who handed him his personal computer and asked him if he was available to fix it because A. it was urgent and B. he paid his paycheck. Obviously, you don't say 'No' to the person who is responsible for your salary, so OP said 'Yes', and began working on the laptop.

Soon after, a manager came and asked OP to do something else for him, and OP had to explain that he was currently unavailable, but that he would get to it as soon as possible. That was the beginning of the end for this manager, who told OP to immediately call the person that the laptop belonged to and tell him he could not fix it.

Nextttttttttttttttt uppppp, a tenant who got smart and used the parking space that they were paying way too much for (considering they did not own a car) for storage, which they then rented out for a modest amount.
