Helpdesks are clearly not designed to deal with people like me.
My experience tends to go this way:
- Ticket describes what needs to be done and why (something that falls outside of standard operating procedure).
- They then attempt to follow standard operating procedure which (shock, surprise) doesn't work for the very reasons I described in the ticket.
- Helpdesk sends it to the right people who ultimately do what I said to do in the first place.
