Imo, the whole service industry would be a neat orbit to have. There would be a whole lot of overlap, too. Like, my workplace regularly 'steals' good employees from our partner restaurants who then go on to clean the same exact buildings.
Helldesk and retail would probably get along great lmao.

When I worked for Telstra Bigpond broadband helldesk I found I'd always put on this certain affect when talking to customers. For the LLM kids it'll be like that but all the time.

It was absolutely drilled into me the first day on helldesk to bcc when dealing with more than one client at a time. And that was using lotus notes, quite possibly the worst email client at the time
I didn't want to go through what happened to the one person that slipped up on that

I used to dabble in it during my helldesk days 🫠 Juggling tech support, sysadmin, and occasional website updates. Early on was a lot of basic “design”. Shudder.

I've been in this profession for 20+years. I have an arsenal of accumlated knowledge that makes me able to see things others do not.
However, don't need any of that to know that the balance of tickets on the helldesk today is massivley out of a whack and I'm being penalised.

It’s your class duty to give every helldesk employee or delivery driver 10/10 (unless they shat through your letter box or something). Yes, even if they were grumpy. Do not facilitate capitalism pitting workers against workers, especially via the means of an Excel column.
I guess this is becoming more common knowledge as gig workers have to point it out but..
On those “would you recommend this…?” survey questions ANYTHING other than a 9 or 10 out of 10 basically counts as “no” (and will be counted against the individual/branch by management)

Humans created evil and lots of other terrible things based off of his work.
So, the whole place resembles a subterranean office building, with fire burning low as the only lighting and the lake of fire replaced with “The Helldesk” in Operations. Which has much the same experience. 😆

Angels are forbidden to interfere.
Demons can be summoned with a pentagram. You put their name around it (like calling an extension). Demon aristocracy have complex sigils (like a direct line).
You can also just call the Helldesk direct.

The Helldesk manages all vacation surface visits, especially things like possessions and hauntings.
Possession is always on a willing host.
This is how demons take vacation, by spooking humans who want to be spooked, and possessing people who want to check out for a bit.

So, I wanted to map corporate departments to Deadly Sins (and floors on an elevator).
I left out Sloth, as I feel it's just rich fucks trying to make poor people feel bad for not working themselves to death.

Greed = Revenue (Sales & Accounting)
Heresy = Operations (The Helldesk)..

And an ask more general: how does research and development occur? Who sponsors it? Is it the sheer luck of independent dabbling or a coordinated effort of brilliant minds?

I think Helldesk is not excited at the prospect, until they start getting asked to possess toys until the electronics issues can be resolved.
They become incredibly emotionally invested in the kids as they're used to being hated, not loved.
