Yikes. I feel sorry for all the help desk and support staff that has to deal with this chaotic mess all day.

On a Friday !

What kind of criminally incompetent psychopath rolls out a global update on a fucking Friday afternoon?

Is the CEO of CrowdStrike Satan?

They push updates every day. Attackers don't take Fridays off.

I have heard that Friday afternoon can be better because it gives you a full weekend to put out any fires before business hours start again.

That's assuming it's a small error that doesn't roll on into the week anyway.

Yup, my phone is nonstop going off with slack messages and tickets. Time to mute it for now
