My job title is "IT support engineer". No, I don't know why your email is slow. No, I don't fix stuff on your work laptop. Call me when you have a 1.8PB storage volume that is throwing errors, or when the robotics and automation can't talk to their controller.

Luckily I'm getting a new title next month, along with a new employer.

I've heard someone with a similar job reply with "does your computer cost more than a house? No? Then I can't help you"
