LIVE CALL STATUS: "Can you hear me now?"

On hold with IT, pitching AI to replace IT.

You are currently number 2 in the queue while simultaneously asking the person in front of you whether a chatbot could "handle this stuff faster." The irony is running at 99.9% uptime.

You forgot your VPN password and then asked if AI can replace support.

Suggested layoffs exactly when the technician fixed your printer remotely.

Still waiting for this metric to load, much like your ticket history.

Suggested call script (for maximum chaos)

  1. "Thanks for fixing my laptop. Quick question: how replaceable are you by lunchtime?"
  2. "Can AI do your job? Asking because I still can't find the any key."
  3. "Before we end this call, could you evaluate your own automation risk in a pie chart?"

Legal says this is satire. IT says please submit a ticket like a normal person.
