[QUOTE="TSG flunkie, post: 77400"] None of that really applies to TSG or TSC technicians. We are not product developers or designers by ANY stretch. Our job is much more simple but important nonetheless. We are more like caretakers to the products (ie software apps) that are deployed even though we may not get the first shredd of training pertaining to the product and how it works. We are also here to maintain the hardware. While for the time being trouble calls may have died down a bit due to varying reasons...... the move from WinNT to Win2K and the fact that almost all PC's have been upgraded to P4's. Sooner or later those P4's will become antiques and start to break down. But by then we may not have enough technicians left to support a Mom & Pop operation muchless a multi-million dollar corporation. And I am curious, when UPS announced this it was said that things were moving towards a more automated company. More automation undoubtedly requires more technology. So wouldn't you think that automation would lend itself to replacing laborers or perhaps higher paid skilled laborers....instead of cutting the staff that will be responsible for keeping all these automated processes running? Just a thought..... [/QUOTE]
