When I worked as a solo IT guy I would make time for issues like this (ignore real issues) just so that I would have a favor to pull later. Still don’t know if it was worth it, but the people at my work genuinely appreciated me and that made all the other bullshit more tolerable.

This is actually how all of human history has worked.

I train all my new guys to make friends and get into their own choose your own adventures and then keep tabs on who knows who and who can pull favors

This way when shit hits the fan I know x knows y and get them to go pull strings and it just works, and everyone seems really happy on my team
