That’s possible. Not all physical damage on a computer is visible to the naked eye.

If your computer has a selective USB suspend setting, try turning it off.

Alternatively, try pulling the battery out, holding the power button for several seconds to drain all power from the machine, then putting the battery back in and seeing if that does anything.

Try to boot up an OS with a USB stick on a usb port you know works and see if the USB C ports start working. If they don’t, it’s probably a hardware issue. If they do work, it may be a driver issue.

I do my job. They do their job and there’s no problem. My job is to take over for the manager when he’s not there and to be his extra set of eyes and ears.

It’s a common manipulation tactic and one unintelligent people tend to fall for hook, line, and sinker.

I use it all the time at work to lull people into a sense of safety to make them relax and fall back into the behavior I want to nail them for.

Oftentimes a person will do something they’re not supposed to do, but won’t do it around the manager. I’m the assistant manager and for whatever reason, people will do something they’re NOT supposed to do around me and then wonder how the manager keeps finding out. I never let them know it was me and neither does my boss and people simply do not catch on for whatever reason.

I don’t seek out people to report them, but I do have a duty to my manager and the company to make sure everyone does what they’re supposed to. Even had one idiot stealing drinks and offer me one. Don’t steal, it’s not worth your job.
