I have been following this thread and can't resist sharing a story.
A long time ago I worked for a high tech company that make hardware and
software for the printing industry. It has long since been bought out
by a multinational company.
We had both Macs and PC in the company, but the IT department was very
partial to the PC and did a very poor job of supporting Macs. Because
of this one other Mac guru and myself got a lot of phone calls asking
for Mac support. I was not paid to give Mac support, so I complained to
the IT department to please give better Mac support so that people did
not call me. The head of IT dismissed my plea and told me to please
stop complaining.
I then sent a copy of this email thread to the Chief of Operations. The
following emails were sent back and forth and I was copied on them.
Email to head of IT from COO:
Why do you not have a Mac support person on your staff?
Reply from head of IT:
Only 1% of my requests come from Mac users. I should not hire a person
for so few calls.
COO reply to head of IT:
How many Macs and how many PC's do we have in the company?
Reply from head of IT:
We have about 350 Macs and about 600 PC's.
COO reply to head of IT:
If this is true we should do one of two things...#1...Buy all Macs and
fire all of the IT staff since Macs don't require any support. OR #2
We should hire a Mac expert in IT since people don't call you for
support since your support is so poor.
The head of IT hired a Mac expert the next week.
I love it when people supply their own ammunition to shoot themselves in
the head.
I stopped getting calls for Mac support.
Ray M.
