Re:What I've Been Through (Score 1)

Let me make it painfully clear (in case it isn't already) that there ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO WORK THERE!

I've read most of the thread, and I find this oft-repeated comment enormously insulting. I applied for an Agent position(I would like to make it clear that I was NOT qualified, although I have learned much since from studying for A+ certification) and was rejected and sent to an administrative(secretarial) position instead, where I do absolutely no technical work whatsoever. The assertion that they accept any moron who knows the difference between a tower and a monitor is completely inaccurate, and I am proof of that, so if people could please stop saying that I would appreciate it. :D

Seriously though... as other people have stated, it depends on the management.

Honestly, I'm surprised to find that the majority of posters at /. are so mean spirited. Slashing the cars' tires? Wishing for a company's death? We actually HAVE had our cars vandalized in our own parking lot, and maybe I'm just not geeky enough but I don't think destruction of property and hate towards an entire company because of a few experiences is appropriate, even to joke about. Even I recognize that companies are comprised of individuals, that experiences vary widely, and that big franchises aren't going to have spotless records; so why do I see so many comments that reflect ignorance of those facts?

By the way, MrPaco, most of this post isn't directed at you, sorry. I kinda started ranting after addressing your one comment, which is really the only part of your post I didn't like. No offense meant.
