Technical support-when managers fail to support their staff

by gorman.mi . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

Those of us who have worked in Technical Support
invariably encounter the users who discover the manager route for complaints. You know the ones who feel piqued because you solved a problem for them too rapidly via the remote tools-they pick up the phone and say you were rude, or arrogant with them. Your manager with his soft-cock approach to user politics takes their side; bingo you are labelled a ‘difficult’ or Arrogant operator. There is the idea of it is very difficult to disprove a negative..like ‘when did you stop beating your wife’? Any experiences like this out there?
