We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.


Six or seven years ago we had someone call up customer service where I worked to unsubscribe from the text messages. The rep tried to explain that you just reply STOP, but this lady still had a pay-per-text plan and refused to spend the dime on sending the stop message. So instead she sat on the phone while the rep found a random person from the tech department (hi there) who then got to figure out how to manually do the database update to unsubscribe her.

An hour of three people's time vs. ten cents.

Tech support people might actually have to learn how to do things they should know how to do already immediately that aren't in their script.

You're assuming that thing they should know how to do isn't actually several hours of research to figure out how the gently caress the system does that anyway. That's outside the skillset of tech support. If it's not in their script they don't know how to do it, and if they did know how then they'd be engineers and not tech support.

There should at least be choose your own adventure style scripts. Engineers should be the ones writing these scripts and should include contingencies for known issues that aren't just the most common issues.

You’ve clearly never seen an engineer try to be a technical writer. I’ve worked deep in the guts of major telecoms helping them move apps and systems to the cloud. Think of the most silo’d off tribalistic culture of confusion and chaos that you can and multiply it by tenured academia levels of “I’m literally the only person that understands this thing and I know you can’t fire me” and you start to have in inkling of the utter screaming void of chaos that is IT for the major telecoms.

I always figured this was how it was supposed to be, but doesn't tend to work out in practise. As far as I understand, that's more or less what they have, it's just that it's not necessarily going to be extensive enough for the real world. But it's surely the genesis of the whole "have you tried turning it off and on again" thing as a first answer.

based on some videos I have found on the internet regarding that subject, it does not actually appear anyone enjoys doing it. The guys who figure out how to rear end gently caress themselves are the ones enjoying their perversion
