    That often resulted in conversations like this:

    Me: "Ok, we need to reset your receiver. Unplug it, wait 20 seconds, then plug it back in." Customer: "Ok." (20 seconds go by) "Nothing happened." Me: "Did the lights on the receiver turn off?" Customer: "No." Me: "Did you unplug it?" Customer: "No." Me: headdesk

    Did it ever occur to you that the people on the other end of your conversation had already deduced that a receiver reset would not solve the problem because they had already done that five times over the past two days? And that why they waited two days was because they were trying to avoid the pain and suffering inflicted by Customer Service reps who could be replaced by trained zombie monkeys without losing functionality?

    No, if that was the case, the customer would have said Yes to both questions... Anyone smart enough to have already done the basic troubleshooting is smart enough to lie when asking to repeat said troubleshooting by a customer support rep.

Wasting our time with his boring post to ridicule an actually entertaining post he fails to comprehend that he is doing exactly what he claims to dislike so much. Which of course would make him a "Dumbass."

    Sometimes (quite often, probably) there may not be enough information in the ticket to determine how the confusion arose, but you should be able to at least identify the most common points of failure.

    In some cases, true, but when "Replace User" becomes the solution for 75% of the problems, it seems to lose its helpfulness.

    Let me guess, you've never worked in tech support before?

    Let me guess, you've never written software before?

    O'Boy is right, too often software is designed by committee so every single person wants there own little special option in there. This leads to horrible apps where the user has to control everything without the expertise of the person that wrote the code in the first place.

    If you have a lot of people saying, "Where's the record button?" Maybe you ought to listen and clean up your interface.

    Did it every occur to you that lying is a sure way to poison any kind of interaction? The correct response is not "OK...nothing happened" it's "Look, I've tried that five times already; do I really need to do that again?"

    Ugh!!! Been there. Done that. Still lost.

    First level tech support these days are only good at following troubleshooting trees and have ZERO capability to recognize when they are talking to someone with a clue who may need to be escalated to the next level.

    Case 1: When cable internet was first available in my area, I spent many days of outages calling them when the "link" light on the cable modem was not on steady. This indicator means that there is a problem between the cable modem and the cable office, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I called, they'd insist that I reboot my computer. Millions of dollars on a network, and the idiots didn't even know how to use a free tool like "ping" to determine if my line card was okay.

    Case 2: My daughter's laptop screen went dead. Idiot at HP tech support kept trying to have her click different things to bring up some program to troubleshoot the issue. And she kept answering that the screen was black and she couldn't read anything on it. At least 6 times!!! He just refused to listen to her when she said that the screen was completely dead.

    I've gotten to where I give ALL 1st-level support people about 30 seconds to demonstrate that they have a clue - or at the very least, good listening skills. After that I ask to have the issue escalated - even ask to speak to the manager on duty if necessary.

  • Kef Schecter (unregistered)

    To be fair, the CTO did have a very smart idea that's above and beyond the way many executives think. It was just not a particularly well-informed smart idea -- an error of simple naïvete, not stupidity. Presumably, after seeing this, the CTO enacted a policy that made more sense, but was still an improvement over what the policy had been before trying this idea out. If, on the other hand, they simply reverted completely to the preceding policy, that probably would be a WTF.

    Of course, there is the minor WTF that the CTO could have been shown a few typical support tickets first and saved a bit of time, but eh, I don't think that's significant in the grand scheme of things.

    This idea is pretty good, once the problem has escalated to a certain level. I'm thinking of JoelOnSoftware's articles: one said that any support call usually indicated an area to improve (note: He's talking about software, not hardware), the other said that it takes asking the question "why" six times to get a useful answer.

    As an example I thought of, if tons of people ask about where the "any" key is, change the damn text to read "Press 'A' to continue".

    Yes, the user is dumb. Yelling at the user for being dumb just results in needing to help them.

  • TrainedZombieMonkey (unregistered)

    As someone who works in technical support, I have to say that this article is right on the mark. Yes, there are a lot of users out there who really are stupid and/or lazy.

    The CTO in this case was a moron. Most support problems cannot be resolved without creating other problems in their place. Password resets are an obvious example... Some systems obviously require passwords to allow access. Doing away with them would cause big security problems. Having them means we need those trained zombie monkeys to reset passwords for the lusers who forget them. Any other system (password reminders, maybe) is subject to abuse and is almost as bad as not requiring passwords. I also feel the need to point out that the costs of QA testing and such for any changes resulting from those issue reports may exceed the cost of simply continuing to take the support calls.

    Of course, my perspective may be biased by my desire to retain my current position.

    That's a idiotic and spineless position to take. You either do what they ask or bitch about doing it over and over. There should be no lying to the person that's trying to help you, no matter how brainless it seems. What if tech support is running a different process that absolutely required that one step you lied about doing? It's almost as stupid as not telling your doctor what drugs or so called homeopathic remedies you are taking. Don't assume you will know what will and won't work. If you knew those things, remind me -- why are you calling tech support?

    The fun bit is when you get them to do it, make sure they did it right ... and it works. "But I tried that!" Uh-huh.

    And to the guy who always asks for the manager on duty, hope that always works for you. My manager knows how to score quality control on my calls, make schedules and drink coffee.

    While generally I agree with you about not writing for the illiterate (or IMHO even the lazy or stupid) I think your perception of this person's level of illiteracy is perhaps a bit off.

    My Ex writes worse than this, and I wouldn't call her 'profoundly illiterate'. She's at best borderline illiterate, but she still manages to hold down a job as a technical writer (go figure). Let's just say I didn't love her for her educational prowess but she knows how to sell herself (no pun intended).

    BUT, perhaps we've hit upon something here. If you NEED a manual for the illiterate, then who better to write it than an illiterate technical writer? I mean, that would be one document I WOULDN'T have to stay up all night reworking, it could go out as is and the target market would understand it.

    It should also be noted (more seriously) here that illiteracy technically means being unable to read as well as being unable to write. I've known quite a few people who can read well enough (My Ex among them) but simply cannot write to save themselves. In some cases this is a symptom of Dyslexia, in others it's just lack of proper training, in still others it's complete lack of practice. The person in this account could clearly read (albeit perhaps not that well) which means that he, she or it wasn't illiterate in the truest sense, and certainly not profoundly so.

    But, I still more or less agree with your message.

    I've been a tech support engineer for 3 years now. Started in web hosting, now email security. No matter the size of the company, support is always hammered with issues that could have easily been resolved in the software. And I do mean easily.

    After the first 3 occurrences, you make up a template that you send out to everyone with that problem and management is happy enough not to bother the better paid people who would otherwise have to work on resolving the issue. So, no :)

    TRWTF is in the comments: why are links permitted? What legitimate use could they have?

    Everyone who reads this site could copy/paste http://www.google.com into their new tab's url field...

    ...

    Banning links is overkill, people are often posting links to interesting sites or maybe just to definitions on Wikipedia. The trick is surely to ban posts with any more than 3 links, or something similar. Then we can still cross reference from the comments but the spammers will be screwed (remember that there is a law of spamming that says you are not allowed to put any less than 12 links into a spam post, even if they are all the same link - it's crazy but then spammers are retards).

    Actually, they're smarter than you think. The reason for putting those ridiculous looking links into random pages has NOTHING to do with having people click it.

    It's simply done for SEO purposes, as each link from a website is a sort of 'vote' for the linked website. Additionally, the actual link text of the link helps Google determine its content, hence the multiple variations of phrases they would like to be ranked upon.

    The simplest solution would be putting rel="nofollow external" into each comment link.

    while this would stop the spammers getting any cred in google, it proberbly wouldnt stop the spamming.

    we stopped it using a hidden field, which works really well against bots but doesnt work againsts someone in a third world country manually going to forumns and posting the spam. now our captcha is a picture of someone famous, seems to be working
