Those. support is not needed

Recently, a technical director at the company where Dudley H. works where she found a surprising revelation: technical support should never be needed. If a client has a question about one of their products, then the problem is probably in the product. Perhaps the UI is indistinct. Perhaps a little documentation. Or the instructions are confusing. Regardless of the cause, every client problem means that someone — a developer, tester, or helpdesk employee — has done a poor job and should try to improve his part.

Naturally, most of the helpdesk lobbied against the revelation of those. The director counterargument is that most users are just lazy, stupid or lazy and stupid, and no amount of improvements will change that. Not that their protest influenced anything ... Those. the director has developed and approved a new rule, according to which written reports “problem / improvement” should be made on all client issues, and all reports should be sent up. Being exemplary workers, Dudley and his tech-helpers from the helpdesk sat down to write these reports.
