MODERATORS
Here is a recent ticket my team just got. I was honestly suprised how pissy it got.
I mean, it’s definitely condescending, but it’s also dripping with “I was directly told to do this by someone who has the authority and the attitude to fire my entire department on a whim. I don’t think this will help, but I’m doing this specifically as CYA so I can get back to what I actually need to be doing instead.”
I don't even hear the condescension when I read it. I just hear someone that's incredibly annoyed at having to go through the motions for the bosses boss.
The “experts” part felt condescending to me. In a very “I know better than you, but you have the title so I have to defer to you” way.
