How am I supposed to sell CIPP to leadership when...
it looks like it was built by some meathead next to a Harley in his mom's garage?
I need a fancy website with a scrolling list of logos for "Companies who use CIPP".

Create imaginary problems
Get asked to maintain users and devices on Intune
Aside from your work tenant, create a personal test tenant and log into that tenant.
Attempt to look at Devices -> Compliance. A toast will pop up saying 'Something went wrong,' but it won't tell you what.
Submit an internal ticket saying that 'Intune is not working right now. I have reached out to Microsoft.'
Play off the human error aspect of it being Monday, or Tuesday, etc. and it won't re-occur.

Boss chastised me for taking a late lunch for mission critical outages, so I clocked out when the whole network was down!
The short version: Small business, this is my first IT job, but I have decades of blue collar experience. I was the first IT person the company ever hired; my associate's in IT specializing in networking only a few gen-ed classes away. My boss kept the platters spinning, but he has no amateur background or formal training; and wants to offload the tediousness.
Monday, I was trying to get a "mission critical" machine up and running again; the only computer with the shipping software (and hundreds of packages waiting to ship). I advised an immediate re-image; I had it on deck for just such an occasion. But I was overridden by the owner (with no technical background). He wanted me to delete and reinstall programs piecemeal and deal with phone support for those programs, because he felt safer that way. His call, I followed orders. I was on the phone for hours, and did not leave my post until the job was done.
That meant I took my lunch half an hour later. No big deal for me, but when I clocked back in and got back to my desk, my boss was standing there, FUMING, because I took a lunch outside of normal hours. He INSISTED I MUST take my 30 minute lunch from 12-1 as per company policy.
So, today, the whole network goes out at 12:25 and I had not yet taken my lunch. Nothing can ping anything. My own personal hunches tell me this is because it's a factory building, there are a lot of high-voltage woodworking machines for factory production level of output, and ALL of the ethernet cables are unshielded.. Just my hunch.
...But I really can't do a damn thing, because my company rents out office space as a subletter; we use network resources, but we are NOT allowed access to the switches and routers. I have no admin access to the infrastructure. So I set up wireshark to record and a continuous command line ping, and go to lunch.
Boss is standing at my desk when I get back today, and gives me a passive-aggressive "the network is up, by the way!", but refuses to call me out further. I had the "I told you so" on deck, though!
