MODERATORS
My wife's standing at her company's IT dept skyrocketed during COVID lockdowns.
Why? Because we were both working from home, and aside from helping her with basic troubleshooting, I also helped her formulate her tickets better.
Turns out, tech support folks like it when a ticket has concise info, instead of "screen broke".
As a former IT help desk person, I can confirm that we do in fact love it when people give us good info. People who write screen broke shouldn't be working with technology more advanced than a shovel
"please call so and so, they're having issues with their browser"
Call the user, they are out for the day. Leave message to call back
Either never hear back or the issue was not browser related
Either way, tell the original ticket creator to have the person having the issue call us if they want prompt service
Shovel gay, pen have, paper end, rock good.
