Classic Mistake

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kevin Devin posted something today about his workplace, wondering if the snake of Corporate IT was eating it’s own tail.

When I read his story, one part jumped out at me immediately. Here was a classic example of tech support folks not having the authority, or tools, to correct a problem for a user. If I were one of those help desk guys, I might have gone ahead and made the call, regardless of the time difference. If you want to keep the control and authority and don’t want your front line support people to have the power to fix a problem, then you have to deal with the calls at all hours.

Maybe I’m just a bit jaded after working tech support for so long. 😉

    How do you Cover for Specialists?

    Some of you who follow me on Twitter may have seen that I worked late a couple of days last week as some sort of epidemic has swept the help desk area of our firm, leaving them quite short-handed. In fact, they were left with no one available between the regular folks who work there,…

  • A perfect example

    I’ve mentioned before why I think measuring the effectiveness of your help desk folks by looking at the number of tickets they work alone is dumb. This week, I had a perfect example. We had one of our pool laptops lose a hard drive this week. The replacement drive came in Thursday late in the…

  • Maybe a bit too secure

    You know I’ve always been a big advocate of finding that fine line with technology where it’s secure, but still usable. Today at the office I think we found someone crossing that line a bit. We had a client laptop in our office. They needed to use our guest network to VPN to their network,…

    Ribbon-esque

    I had the opportunity today to try and help someone use CT Summation over the phone. Even though I’ve been using the program pretty extensively for a couple of weeks, it wasn’t until today that I made the connection to Office 2007. You see, in Summation, your toolbars, and menus change based on what part…

  • One way to help burnout

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    After all that discussion about burnout among help desk folks, today I had the rare experience of getting to do something different. I spent most of the day driving down to our Cincinnati office to work on a couple of projects, and then driving back to cover the help desk through the end of the…

  • Couldn’t Agree More

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Linda Marie: First and foremost, if you do not have people skills, you should not look for a help desk position. That’s absolutely true. The other thing that IT people at all levels tend to forget is what their role in any organization is. There’s a certain amount of power that goes with operating any technology infrastructure,…
