'I'll make you watch me work': Auto shop employee demonstrates how slow their computer is to their bosses

There are some things in life that are perpetually irritating, like getting stuck in traffic. When you have somewhere you need to be, and the cars in front of you are inching forward at a snail's pace, it's pretty annoying. Plus, there's nothing you can do about it. It's a small thing, but when you deal with traffic every day, it might start to take a toll. 

This person, u/Rhelyk, had a different sort of waiting issue. They had to deal with a slow computer. Oh man. In today's day and age, when we're all used to lightning-fast internet and zero lag, having to use older computers is a pain. That's especially true if you have to work on the slow computer all day long, every day. It's a true test of one's patience. And, as the OP discovered, even if you tell the boss how slow your technology is acting, they don't care. They're not the one using the computer all day. So they're happy to save money by just not addressing their employees' issues. Who cares about morale if you can save a few dollars?
