Thank god for censoring "stole". I don't know what I would have done had I been able to read that word.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously stealing. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men stealing together because of this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

This is 100% correct in the IT world. I have a split IT dept due to mergers (its a whole thing, people are fighting to not give up knowlage on systems so their position looks useful to mgmt... its fucked) and the other side of the fence are the most useless window-lickers ever because their tier 1 just closes things almost at random to bump their numbers up.

The Cobra Effect

An anecdote tells of the British government's bounty on dead Indian cobras giving locals the perverse incentive to start breeding the snakes, to be able to kill more of them

Oh man, my workplace switched to an external IT support company, InfoSys, which pulls basically the same scam.

When you open a ticket, they immediately write something underneath – typically a question that's already answered in the ticket – because it shows up in their statistics as low response times.

Then they'll do shit like split up your ticket into three new tickets for no good reason.

And if you happen to be on holiday for a few days and therefore don't respond, they'll close your tickets due to inactivity.

Then you have to open a new ticket and link to the old ticket, if you can still access it, and then re-answer the same braindead questions again.

Basically, if it's something you can solve yourself, you should, because it will take more time to communicate back and forth with InfoSys.

Close your eyes OP, I'm about to say a naughty word.

The term is reappropriate. And it is perfectly legal according to congress.

The real question is: how did the receptionist file the ticket?

[–] 7355608@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

On screen keyboard would be my bet. Another few possibilities I can think of would be on their phone, or even in person.

Another pc in the building? Asking a colleague? There's 100s of options really..
