Got in trouble today during a Data integrity meeting, everyone kept talking about data massaging. "Massage this data", "massage that data table", "insert massaged data".

Finally I just blurted out, "yeah massage it all you want but how do I get a data happy ending?"

I thought it was hilarious. The other DBA and backend devs thought it was jokes, my manager... Not so much.

Apparently, I need to keep "thoughts and comments about data happy endings to myself moving forward".

Okay. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

    Your manager needs to stop shitting on other's humor moving forward.
    Seriously, what a baby. "You made a joke I didn't like whaa whaa".

    In your managers defense, all it takes is one person to complain to HR and he is in their office answering awkward questions like "When your staff member openly offended Bob, did you laugh? Did you even try to deescalate the situation?"

    Our warehouse supervisors deal with this nonsense all the time. One person tells a dirty joke, someone is waiting to be offended.

    I'd put a dollar down he's had training to respond to 'off-color' comments.

    @PaperTrail Yup. Totally fair point. Usually I gauge the room beforehand but ...
