    (IT, sort of sys-admin/remote help)

    No, I’m not a programmer even though I sit by the PC. Also I can’t magically fix any and all your computer related problems in a second I look at your PC.

      To be honest whenever you take the seat instead of the intended user, you probably already fixed 75% of the problem. So just taking a look does fix many problems right away.

        I worked in support for a company that had 20.000 employees back in 2013. We were 150 people handling calls and tickets, and there was an average of 30-40k calls/tickets a month.

        10% was resolved by restarting. How many man hours is not wasted because they haven’t restarted? It baffled me when I saw the actual numbers.
