The wildest #UniversityIT bullshit I've heard yet:
At a union meeting, talking with someone from a different department. IT revoked superuser privileges from all their work computers so they have to submit a ticket EVERY TIME they want to sudo. They said they have an outstanding ticket to install adobe reader, and in the meantime they CAN'T OPEN PDFs.
usually when I try to talk about how digital #infrastructure impacts every part of our working conditions I'm talking about larger problems like how the deinfrastructuring of our communication systems makes it so publishers become the only venue for our work, which structures our incentive systems and patterns of work from top to bottom. This is way beyond that tho, the very basic ability for information workers to interact with information at all.
