IT Boss Wanted Longer Ticket Comments, So This Engineer Hilariously Complied

This IT worker found himself stuck under a new manager who valued lengthy ticket comments over actual work quality.

Instead of accepting simple, clear explanations, this manager demanded every ticket comment contain at least 1000 characters, even when 50 would have sufficed.

Rather than push back, the engineer maliciously complied in the most entertaining way possible.

Keep going to see how one IT worker turned bureaucracy into the most entertaining part of his job.
