One of my most satisfying moments was when my manager’s manager asked me, over a highly populated slack channel, why I had installed an unreviewed external plugin with 6K+ lines of code, to deliver on a simple requirement.
I replied with “?”, and a print screen from the logs showing he had installed that plugin a few months back.
“I used what was available”.
My most satisfying email was when some project manager at the business partner company asked me why I wasn’t in a teams meeting to let their team test their software on our machine. This was an email basically everyone in both companies was on. My boss, his boss, that guy’s boss, all the way up the ceo, and her boss and her boss’ boss, etc.
I replied all with screenshots and an email that basically read “hey, you kicked me out of this meeting now twice. I can’t be there if I’ve been removed”.
I got an email back a minute later where she only replied to me with a sheepish “no i didn’t”
That entire company was like that. Any minor issue, misunderstanding on their end only, or just their own wild incompetence on display always had both companies entire chain of commands on the email list.
I have a long list of complants about this publicly traded company’s dangerous incompetencies.

Man people that tag the entire chain of command just to complain about a childish non-issue infuriate me
