The only thing I like about Microsoft is that their shit products give me job security.
I get to do an extensive Microsoft Teams training for some middle-aged dudes next week. One of the men doesn't recognize me as someone who can fix his shit. He straight up says, "Have one of your techs, your guys, give me a call" and I always tell him I am a technician and can handle his problem so he doesn't have to wait. I use my kindest, sweetest customer service voice to talk to him and he has never once called me by my name despite it showing on his computer when I connect to it. He calls me honey and dear a lot and not in the endearing old person way.
But dealing with him pays the bills so
Make him pay extra for that.
I don't make the prices. I'm just a grunt in the IT trenches. 🥲
Which is why you launch kayaks.
They do go far with trebuchets
