I got like a dozen tickets today, I spent my day sleeping at my desk and occasionally reassigning them to different groups because our call center is dumb as hell.

Well a year ago the treats were pretty good, but ever since this new CEO came in and hired their buddy's vendor, all the treats come individually wrapped and lack any sort of distinguishable markings.

I had that exact same thing happen to me before. A recruiter who rescheduled on me, then ghosted me, and showed up a week later to try again. I didn't even bother responding. It made me swear off Robert Half as a whole forever. gently caress that guy for wasting my time and the blatant disrespect.

*sitting on an outage call* Hey I see *engineer* made a config change last night. There's nothing wrong with the change. There's no reason it should impact this. The change has nothing to do with the problem we're having and is on a completely different piece of equipment. There is absolutely no relationship at all. ...This dude is cursed as hell I'm gonna roll it back anyway. ...Hey everyone resolution time is....now.

"Prior experience working in a start-up operation" So it's probably a start up that's trying to have a single person as a one stop shop for...every single computer need in existence. Including developing all of the 6 different idea guy's apps.

If you don't mind me asking, what were they offering you? Did they think they can move your employment over like that and give you a pay cut in the process? Did they offer the same and are shocked you dared suggest a raise?

Would it be unprofessional if I closed a ticket by saying it's so stupid it made my brain hurt? It took me 10 minutes to send the ticket back saying, what?, but I've spent over an hour trying to decipher what the ask is. They eventually got back to me with what's effectively a wildly incorrect definition of what a NAT is which only made things worse. $10 all the customer wants is to put the ISP gear into bridge mode so they can use their own router.

Our customer service is legendarily terrible so I'm actually inclined to believe that the customer wants something simple but the rep he spoke is dumber than a sack of bricks. And regardless, the ticket should never get all the way to level 3 without a clearly defined request, something that makes more sense than "customer wants to set a static IP of *public IP* on LAN port"

Darchangel posted:That would be a classic A-B problem. This is actually some of the best advice I've ever gotten out of this thread over the years. And funny enough, when I sent back the stupid ticket, I specifically asked "what is the customer trying to do?" One of the things that frustrated me was that they didn't actually answer that question. Just... incorrectly tried to explain a basic networking concept to a network person. It's out of scope for me but hey, maybe if the customer really did want to host their own Minecraft server, sure I can provide a few suggestions.

Like 5-6 years ago I got an offer at a job but turned it down for a few red flags. Biggest one was everyone at the shop seemed like an insufferable techbro and I didn't want to deal with a miserable culture. The raise was miniscule and it wasn't worth the drawbacks. We just hired a new guy and, hey it turns out he worked at that place. Half the team got laid off when COVID hit, and he tried starting his own Bitcoin/Etherium mining business after being laid off. Never felt so justified in a decision in my entire life. Bullet dodged.

I can't tell if I've gone full Luddite or if I'm just tired of people making believe new emerging technology is something that it's not. We just hired a poo poo ton of people and expanded our team by about 1/3rd. All the new guys are young, childless Zoomers which is causing a weird culture shift with our established Gen X/Millennial group. They're starting to get bored of bitcoin and are now obsessing with ChatGPT, while I'm off in the corner still yelling at thermostats. Yes kids I like Video Games too what's your favorite Final Fantasy????? I'm sure HL2 Ep. 3 will be coming out any day now.*gets weird looks*

Sywert of Thieves posted:. It should though? Maybe not on the phone app but it should work fine if you're standing in front of the thing. A smart thermostat is the one IOT device that I'm going to defend just because of the sheer amount of customization options you're given. But also lmao at an apartment complex using them because they will totally 100% use it to spy on your usage and possibly take control away from you.
