IT Professional Uses Placebo Effect to Solve Executive Wi-Fi Complaints
A social media post from an IT professional details a humorous experiment conducted after executives complained that the boardroom Wi-Fi felt slow, despite speed tests showing 487 Mbps. To address the dissatisfaction, the technician created a new network named 'EXECUTIVE_PRIORITY_5G' using the exact same infrastructure and bandwidth as the original. After connecting the CEO, the executive immediately claimed the connection was faster. The technician then restricted access to the new network, creating artificial exclusivity that led other executives to compete for access to the identical connection. The post highlights how psychological perception and branding can sometimes override technical reality in a corporate environment.

Yeah it's obviously a Rebecca situation, but I would not recommend doing this IRL. Next time something loads slowly, they will bother you extra hard, that "my exclusive 5G is slow. Do SOMETHING!" and you won't be able to tell them "it's the website that's slow, dummy." because th

Another linkedin cringe story
Reminds me of that skit in Benny Hill where he just changed the label on the bottle of wine
Uh, when they are all connected the bandwidth is divided. Now less connections so more bandwidth and more speed. Making a LinkedIn post on x by simply adding password protected wifi.
Real or not, this is exactly why they keep buying overpriced garbage just to feel superior.
ah, yes the low-end employee fantasy, usually one of the below: "Management wants something done... I trick them into thinking I did something and now they are happy" "Management fires me, now they spend more money finding replacement" "Management wants me to do more work, I say
"stories I tell myself to make me feel more important"
