Or think its ok to raise high priority calls because they cant find their excel spreadsheet they created last week and cant do they're work. Then say they're too busy to provide more details (like actual filename - let me try and guess that one then!)Originally posted by vetran View Postteach you to raise a call Friday night I assume you picked the highest priority and were unavailable on your phone all weekend?
You should take the example of my users raise 20 high priority & urgent tickets at 8pm Friday then go on holiday for 3 weeks.
He gets paid for completing them on time. He gets told off if they expire the SLA.

Or if I DID have access then I didn't know my password so would need it reset. I raised a support ticket.
Monday I got an auto email saying the issue was resolved and had been verified by me.
I opened the support ticket. The fixer had added a note saying the system was up. Then closed the call.
