Technology Support Errors

  Attitude    
  Don't let personal biases of what you consider'bad uses of technology' come out in your attitude when working on a problem.    
  Don't let 'power politics' get in the way of a professional job of assigning triage.          
  Don't take the ownership of supplies personally - if they've used up the toner, replace it. And if it's a problem, work on an organization-wide plan to address it.    
           
         
  Timing        
        Don't just ignore unpleasant problems forever. Put them in the queue appropriately.  
             
Actions        
    Don't belittle the client's thoughts, actions, or concerns - it may be a trivial problem, but it's real to them.       Don't flaunt the use of jargon in responses, just to impress people.
Don't cause damage 'experimenting' because you haven't thought through a plan of action.  

 

  Don't try to give the impression that you know everything, when you don't. Letting people know that we all are learning new things is a good thing.
             
  Record-keeping        
    Don't forget to record changes to inventory.        
  Don't forget to keep track of spare parts and supplies          
             
Begging        
    Don't only show up to eat their chocolate!
