Any mention of a server room reminds me of the fable of the guy, we'll call him Mike, who unplugged the Internet.
I can't remember where I read it, I think it was greentext on Reddit years ago.
So Mike is an intern, and due to some weird circumstances he becomes the only network admin in the building. Well, one day he doesn't esnt feel like working, so on his way in, he stops by the server room and unplugs the internet.
He then goes to his desk like a normal day. Then he starts getting phone calls. Everybody is freaking out because there is no Internet. So he begrudgingly descends into the server room and starts playing video games on his phone.
Close to the end of the day, he plugs the Internet back in and ascends a hero to the employees because they think he's been working hard all day to give them internet.
Are you thinking of this? Great saga: https://imgur.io/gallery/dTv6b
