Does /g/ ever get calls from "Microsoft" telling them to shut off their computer because they have a "virus"
One just called me and I told him off but on one hand I kinda wanted to follow his instructions just to see what would happen.
>>52315917
You retarded?
sir, did u go to teamviewer.com
>>52315975
I just wanna know what he was gonna do.
>>52315976
>>52315917
I did but as soon as I went there the site said I had a virus
>okay sir you must click the download now button and install the cleanpc4free.exe
okay but now it's asking for my IP address, full name, and home address
>yes yes sir you must enter it so Microsoft can know your account
Okay. Wait now it wants my credit card info, isn't this free
>yes but Microsoft has to know you have a valid computer to run the program
What does that have to do with my credit card
>do not worry about it sir Microsoft is a trustworthy company we won't share your information
W-well okay I guess...
>>52315917
You should've told "Microsoft" (actually they usually say "I'm calling you from Windows") to poo in loo.

Make a Linux VM with an XP theme and watch him try to figure It out.

>>52316283
I was telling him how Microsoft wouldn't know my phone number since I never gave them one and how it would be literally impossible to know what computer is downloading a virus since Microsoft isn't even a ISP let alone mine and that even if they were they wouldn't be able to tell since I'm using a VPN. After awhile the dude told me to shut up and said his job was to hack the computer and chuckled then told me bye and hung up.

Yes I do but then I tell them I'm running Linux and they get all confused but still try to convince me I'm indeed running Windows and that I have a virus.

>>52316688
>>52316345
Sounds interesting. I told him not to call back, hopefully he or someone does cause I wanna try this.
>>52315917
I got one of these calls and i played dumb, like not knowing how to turn on my computer and i couldn't understand him, so i got sent to their more american sounding Pajeet and i played dumb with him again then he started yelling and asked if i liked to have sex with my dad and then i said that is very unprofessional for a microsoft employee and he hung up.

Well now with windows 10 they can't get away with that. Everyone knows that microsoft aldready have your credit card info on their servers.
>>52316283
>(actually they usually say "I'm calling you from Windows")
This is actually very smart. Because if anyone falls for THAT then they know that the person don't know shit. If they said they were calling from microsoft they would have to spend time with techies who waste their time instead of goin "lol, it's microsoft you poo in the loo nigger"
>>52316442
>I was telling him how Microsoft wouldn't know my phone number since I never gave them one
If you have Windows 10 then they know this.
> and how it would be literally impossible to know what computer is downloading a virus
Except that your computer informs microsoft servers every time you open a file and close a file. And what you download.
> and that even if they were they wouldn't be able to tell since I'm using a VPN.
How naive are you? ON WINDOWS? using a VPN or even Tor won't keep that away from microsoft. They have direct access to everything on your computer and everything you use your computer for. AND you did sign the terms and conditions stating that they are allowed to do that so they can collect your personal information.
>>52316812
>Soon you'll be cleaning shit of those Indians who will own the companies you work in.
I think they'll have to learn to POO IN LOO before that, so that they will be able to keep their job by at least not shitting on the company floor, as you describe. I understand it is an Indian sacred tradition to shit on the ground and live around it, but have some respect for us westerners.

Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off. suck my dick op suck my dick.

It all depends. I've worked for roughly 3 years at my current work, and I telecommute so the work is really easy and I get to do whatever I want when I'm not working. I've worked for a lot of different companies, so if you're interested in the job here's my advice:
Never work for a company you would hate to have to get support from. Tech support is a customer service job, so your job highly depends on things like RMA policy and warranty. I love my job since our RMA department has a few tricks up their sleeves to get things out to people as fast as they can. If you can't stick by your company policy, don't work for it. Try imagining working for AT&T or Comcast.
Being polite makes your job easier and a customer more cooperative. People may think they know more than you and might be willing to believe that they have better ideas than you do, so if you act rude they'll probably be unwilling to listen to your advice.
If it's between extensive troubleshooting and just getting the guy off the line by setting up an RMA, always opt for troubleshooting. It doesn't hurt to find out more about the problem and often more digging results in finding out that the problem isn't what you thought it was. And, talking to someone who gets back a replacement product that has the same issue isn't fun for anyone.
Don't pity your customers. Be polite, but don't feel responsible. Had a guy whose motherboard went out and took his hard drive with it. Lost all of his data. Was it our fault his hard drive died? Yes. Was it our fault his data got lost? No, it's his fault for not making backups.
If you don't know how to tell people no, it isn't the job for you. Sometimes the best you can offer isn't enough, and customers might (reasonably) expect things that you can't do. Tell them what's the best you can offer for them, apologize for the inconvenience, and see if they'll go for it. If not, just let your managers deal with it.
>>52317613
It's pronounced "Ban chode" with an American accent. They"ll lose their shit, I once had to translate for a guy that chopped his friend in pieces, because he called him a bheinchode, judge just laughed and said "so what, it's just a swear word"

I work with bank processing and indian mainframe operators don't know their arses form their terminals.

Confirmed.
Im a L3 analyst for file server software that Microsoft and Nvidia uses.
80% of the people from Microsoft are dumb as bricks. Makes me wonder how they got their job and how much they are being paid.
Its not just the teams from India (asking to "do the needful on highest priority " in every email).
Even the American team is questionable.
One guy I worked with didn't even know how to access hidden folders (program data location).
Microsoft team typical has us do stuff their their own team should be responsible for (troubleshooting/isolating unstable transfers due to unreliable/congested network) because their own internal teams aren't good enough OR the resource request/red tape to have one of their better people look at it would take too long.
Nvidia internal team is not so bad.
