I'm trying to gather some info for a (currently) secret project. I'm specifically addressing this to technical support representatives, and would really appreciate feedback. If the project ends up going forward, I will of course tell you all about it.

Questions:

- Do you hate your job?
- If yes, why? Rants are totally fine.
- Do you hate your team/coworkers?
- If yes, why? Try to be specific. Feel free to list examples.
- What ideas would you throw out to improve your workplace? Processes?
- What do you do outside of work? Gaming? Jogging? Reading? When you're not at work, what are you doing most of the time?
- Do you drink or use drugs with any regularity?
- Are you happy in life right now?


I might have more questions later, but if you wanna help me gather this info on tech "culture", please reply those questions to azzy23 at earthlink dot net

Thanks!

- Do you hate your job?
Not really.

- If yes, why? Rants are totally fine.
The only thing I could do without would be the rampant stupidity of the human race.

- Do you hate your team/coworkers?
Hate is such a strong word.

- If yes, why? Try to be specific. Feel free to list examples.
I'm a misanthrope, but for specifics, I don't like peoples inability to learn how to do their jobs. I'm guilty of this at times, but mostly for obscure crap.

- What ideas would you throw out to improve your workplace? Processes?
Tech rating system, so when they call up our little logging system would automatically indicate what kind of call it's likely to be. Little stars. 5 stars means you'll probably not want to hang up on them as they're that smart. One means you'll have to find words smaller than two syllables for everything you say.

- What do you do outside of work? Gaming? Jogging? Reading? When you're not at work, what are you doing most of the time?
Work out, table top roleplaying, video games, girlfriend, etc.

- Do you drink or use drugs with any regularity?
I drink Guinness and Boddingtons, probably about one to four pints per week on a 'good' week (IE weeks I can and can be bothered getting them). Had to lay off hard alcohol as getting drunk lost it's fun.

- Are you happy in life right now?
I got passed over for a hellaciously well-paying job because of a 4-year-old arrest. My times alone are little but introspective silence interspersed with random injections of loud cussing.
