A fellow IT friend of mine sent the following, very precise text to me earlier. Unfortunately, I don’t know the source... but some say it is from 4chan.
- Say thanks, show some appreciation and specify the problem, “it wont work” does not help us, tell us what doesn’t work, what you are doing when the error occurs and the full error message.
- We don’t exist to fix your personal IT shit, however we may do small jobs for you if we like you.
- Everything electronic doesn’t fall under IT’s list of duties, we fix computers and computer things, not TV’s and microwaves, and you can get fucked if you think I’ll change light bulbs for you.
- We won’t buy you a fucking Mac because you think it makes your job easier.
- You don’t deserve an iphone regardless of how long you have worked for the company.
- Having an interest in games or building your own PC doesn’t make you just as good as me at my job, and you certainly don’t have an “in depth” knowledge of Windows, I have the MCSE/MCSA, not you.
- Don’t label all your requests as “URGENT“, it WILL be put to the back of the queue, unless it actually is urgent (ie all computers in a branch lose connection)
- Don’t try and fix it yourself, unless you actually know what you are doing, when I receive a machine back with the hard drive unplugged and the PSU missing screws, I know you played with it, don’t claim I sent it to you in that state.
- Yes, switching it off and fucking on again does fix a lot of issues, we don’t say it for shits and giggles.
- I won’t give you a machine for free so you can give it to your kids.
- Yes, we probably do keep old activation codes from the bottom of laptops, be very nice to us and we may give you one for your own use.
- Your kid can’t do work experience with me, no matter how much you ask.
- Your kid won’t become as good as me by watching me, I studied for years then did many courses on top of that.
- Because I work with computers, doesn’t mean I’ll fix your phone or replace the screen.
