A viral Japanese workplace skit on X: during a global Outlook outage, a sales department chief insists IT support just "call Microsoft" and demand priority repair because "we're a paying customer," while IT quietly refreshes the support page reading "restoration time TBD." The punchline: what's truly scary isn't the outage — it's the belief that a monthly fee lets IT move Microsoft HQ.
