At my company we also do the same every request to engineering (alarms, security, bug, customer support escalation) gets a ticket.

i mean there's even tickets cut if you need IT to fix a laptop or assign you a locker or unlock the code on your desk ped.

heck, there's even a ticket if the office toilet is clogged

I once had to raise a ticket for a double AA battery for my mouse. This sort of stuff frustrated me enough to start my own company.

Were there tickets for tickets too?

Yes, plus let's close this ticket and open a new one so that the KPIs look solid.

What does your company use for ticketing?
Re:Amazon saves millions by replacing Sonnet 4.6 with Strand... by tippa123 on Tuesday November 10, 2026 @06:43AM (#50438935)
Just spreadsheets for the time being. I think irrespective of the tool it's more the mindset for me. What is too small to have meticulously documented versus a general bucket. Also what becomes too big to not track on a ticket anymore but via project governance.

If it works it ain't stupid. Big companies desperately need traceability and ownership. Way too many bullshitters playing politics, being loud on meetings etc but very little actual output.
