Here is a recent ticket my team just got. I was honestly suprised how pissy it got.

Hopefully this is the easiest request you've had of the day. This is a request from my C-suite. Since we've looked at the network and everything 'looks good.' But they have asked us to take another look given the continued complaints from the vendor (see attached email) I'm escalating to the NE team so the "experts" can validate that there isn't any code or anything that would be causing this cart to have faulty connections.

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.
