Mandate 3 Exceptions - A Guide to Not Being a Hero

Because who needs heroism when you can have bureaucratic red tape?

Don't get caught in the bureaucratic trap! Read the exceptions carefully.

Exception 1: When the coffee machine breaks

Step 1: Call the IT department and explain that the coffee machine is a existential crisis in the making

Step 2: Offer to trade your soul for a new machine

Step 3: Realize that the IT department is just as trapped as you are and that the machine will never be fixed

Exception 2: When the intern's Wi-Fi is out

Step 1: Call the intern and explain that the Wi-Fi is a matter of national security

Step 2: Offer to babysit the intern while they try to fix the problem (just kidding, that's not a thing)

Step 3: Realize that the intern is just playing Fortnite and it's not a priority

Exception 3: When the boss asks you to do their work

Step 1: Politely decline and offer to help them find the solution (while secretly Googling it yourself)

Step 2: Pretend to be a expert and give a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation

Step 3: Take a 3-hour lunch to "research" the topic (i.e., play solitaire)
