A place I used to work, we had a "Home grown" helpdesk app. It sucked boulders through straws. We had one guy at another site who would enter in all his tickets at the end of the day then close them.
The helpdesk manager saw that and decided to "Adjust the system to better reflect the data."
What that bonehead did was take one of the levels away. We had one that was for 2 weeks and we used it for long term issues like ordering a new system and setting it up for a user.
His new metric was 3 days.
He kept scratching his bald head when the SLA's being missed went through the roof.
That pile of drek was eventually scrapped when all the desktop and systems admins stopped using it at all. (You spent more time adding the ticket then it took to fix the problem)
