WITH MICROSOFT users struggling to access Outlook and other services during a widespread outage, some Malaysians have suggested that the tech giant’s engineers should perhaps take a breather before attempting to fix anything.

A Threads post by user @aizadfahmy offered some tongue-in-cheek advice to Microsoft employees, telling them not to let their bosses rush them into restoring the affected services.

“To the Microsoft engineers, you can fix it after 5pm. Don’t be too influenced by what your bosses say about getting it fixed as quickly as possible. Remember your work-life balance,” the user wrote.

One commenter took the joke a step further, addressing Microsoft as though it were an exhausted employee in need of a well-deserved break.
