On call person was on a plane. They did something using intermittent connectivity and made a mistake. Other person on the ground is helping until the first one lands. I tell #2 about a box touched by #1 and ask them to have a look.

They did and they figured it out. Outage resolved.

Why did you automatically assume I ratted them out to management? At no point does the story go there.

I’m really curious, since misunderstandings like this can really poison a working environment when people think you’re doing things you’re not. I want to know what sent you down the wrong path here.
