The sales and business team at my office really look down at the devs. Just because we don't dress in fancy suits doesn't mean we are any less important that those asshats.

In fact we are probably a hell of a lot more useful since they cant land any sales since they barely have any idea what they are selling and the company is rapidly going under.
To give you an idea :
We recently changed office and one of them asked if they had had to be in the same workspace as the developers again?

Why do we need them?
Cant we outsource their jobs ?

Some of them dont even answer when you bid them good morning

And one douche bag even brought his bluetooth radio and refuses to use headphones , he keeps playing shitty music and disturbing us.

The company is kinda fractured and there is poor chain of command, so there is little we can do, telling dev management is fruitless he has no authority over the guy
And the business manager simply said oh you dont like good music then walked off.

    Indeed ,we build the product and they
    Sell it but they kinda look at us like we are labourers and they are gentry,

    they dont see the irony that their team was the worst hit by the wave of redundancy either.

    I think i'll plug in a usb killer into that guy's blue tooth radio, its got a usb input on the side....

    @boubalo First legitimately good-guy use of a USB killer I've heard yet!

    @boubalo no backing down now! Status report for when you plug that USB killer in.

    @uddinstock it's a USB device equipped with some capacitors which get loaded via usb power lines and then violently discharges them through the USB data lines.

    You can get them online. Just Google them.

    Ahh well a usb killer is a little gadget shaped like a regular usb stick

    You plug it into a device

    It has a bunch of capacitors which gathers charge from the device's USB' power lines before joyfully firing it down the data lines much to the dismay of the device.

    Its used to test if devices are surge protected, it usually kills the device if its not. Do a search on youtube to see it in action

    Devices that protect their usb ports from such attack are quite rare. I think most macbooks do it but most certainly not a Bluetooth radio. Give it a shot I'm 99% sure it'll work :)

    Team up with the Devs and leave, wait 2 days, come back when everything is broken. Problem solved :)

    ***UPDATE***
    USB killer has been a total success

    He sits near one of the office phones
    So when he was away I helpfully went to answer the phone....

    Slipped the usb killer in just as i bent to pick up the handset. There was a brief series of "tok tok tok" noises then the green led went dark 💀

    He hasn't turned it on yet since then
    Maybe tomorrow 😁
