Do you have stress in your life.......how do you respond to it?
First hope you know my post was in humor. ....
Lots of stress on my job. I install pots, dsl, and Cisco VOIP (voice and data) systems in businesses including Dr's offices, hospitals, medical centers, police and fire stations as well as repairing them and replacing them after lighting strikes.
Many of our installs are 20-100 phone installs and involved multiple pieces of equipment that have to loaded with IOS and then configured with customers configuration files.
When they aren't working properly customers start screaming...... I have been thrown out and walked out of abusive customer premises on more than a few occasions because they didn't like hearing it wasn't our equipment that was bad but rather their phone systems or equipment that was causing problem... on data problems they would have a bad switch or pc that banging the network.. ..
They may be paying for 10 -500 gig of data speed and their speed test shows 5-500 gig. They automatically assume it is our equipment and get angry when I disconnect their network and my speed test shows they get what they are paying for.
Customers think of speed, but we sell bandwidth, we sell the pipe, we are not responsible for problems before it gets to our equipment or for problems after it leaves our network...
