Verizon clock glitch sparks imposter syndrome joke among tech workers
Original: If you work in # tech and you ever suffer from # ImposterSyndrome , just remember that if # Verizon can't handle the sim
Tech workers are sharing a joke aimed at anyone struggling with imposter syndrome: even Verizon, a major telecom company, apparently failed to set the clocks properly on its own servers. The quip is circulating widely as a lighthearted reassurance that even large, well-resourced companies make basic mistakes, so ordinary engineers probably shouldn't judge themselves too harshly.
Why now: A Verizon server clock error gave tech workers a humorous excuse to reassure each other about imposter syndrome.
