Marketing is supposed to increase demand for a product or service but it doesn’t always work that way. What do you use less or even stopped using because of the company’s marketing?

    This is yet another reason why critical IT shit should be open source whenever possible. Are you paying your staff to fix shit or deal with telemarketers pretending they know what the fuck they are talking about? Just toss that into the pile.

    Where I used to work, incoming sales calls from these guys were transferred to an endless phone tree. “Oh, you want to talk to (I forget what department name we gave the black hole). Here I’ll get you over to them.” They would be sent in an endless phone tree that never went to a human. It just never ended. We were a ringcentral shop and my boss was a master with the phone traps.

    On a side note: did you know rust desk is free and does all you actually need it to do?
