The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Doity trickstech support people are amongst the most judgemental groups you will meet. Just like any other profession that deals with members of the general public, it is up to *you* to convince us that you are *not* a cunt. If you are, no matter how slight the offence, you will get led around the houses.
Not so long ago, an engineer called me up to have a VPN service installed on his laptop. He had to go into one of our branches to have it done, so I knew he wasn't going to be working and was effectively having some time off.
"Can I leave you to it? I have some work that needs doing." he said
"I'd rather you didn't, mate, I'll need you to log on again in a few minutes."
"Oh, ok"
A few seconds later and *click, brrrr*
I was remote accessed to his machine, so let the install finish and then logged out, locked out his keyboard and mouse, left the connection open and went on my lunchbreak.
He called whilst I was gone and asked me to call him back. I finally did at 4:30pm. If he hadn't ignored me, he'd have had his laptop back before 1:00.
