Me on every fucking outage call at work.
Like Jesus people just STFU and let me fix it. I don't need to be on a 4 hour conference call about how to fix it with everybody in the company telling me the wrong thing to do...I need five minutes to concentrate and just fucking fix it.
The way I usually do it for people doing that to me is to do a loud confirmation like “Okay, you want me to do X on Y, I’m doing this based on your confirmation, which you gave after I shared my concerns.” Usually they’ll say yes, then I’ll do it and it’ll inevitably blows up on them and they stop bothering me.
Rinse and repeat for every new guy that wants to do that.
