This in uncalled for.
- Nextgrid 6y agoYou might reconsider this opinion once you or someone you know loses money and/or time because of some CS idiot. I’ve had my fair share of such incidents (so much that I’m paying 10x more for an enterprise-grade leased line just to not have to talk to them ever) and I no longer have any sympathy for those people.
- chaps 6y agoHeh. I started my tech career in a call center. Were there people there that shouldn't have had that job? Sure. Do those people deserved to be belittled by calling them monkeys? No fucking way. Show some damn respect for your fellow man.
- verst 6y agoI was a "CS monkey" for two years at Google. A job I was overqualified for but it was the only thing that got me into a major tech company. (Nobody at big tech companies ever bothered to even phone screen me for SWE roles) Also your enterprise account managers often are clueless and just ask the support team - certainly what happened in my experience.
- notyourwork 6y agoPeople is keyword here, monkeys is not.
- jdeibele 6y agoI worked for Software Etc. for a while. I remember thinking "they pay us peanuts and they expect monkeys". This was demonstrated by the two fat binders filled with procedures for EVERYTHING that were supposed to followed to the letter.
