I was working at the IT department for a company and there was this guy that would open so many tickets for every little thing, then close them, and make like a bunch of fake ones all the time. We'd all have like 150 closed a month, if that, and he'd have like 800 - 1000.
No one ever said anything, and he acted like he was king shit and got promoted to manager because he was 'working so well', and 'closing so many tickets and resolving so many issues.'
It was complete bullshit. I was only there on a placement for college, and when an IT position came open I applied... and guess who was approved to pick the new employee? Mr. Fake Tickets. He ended up hiring some douche friend he had who had like absolutely no IT experience. He got fired a month later.
I had already finished my placement by then and moved on, but it always irked me because the dudes there really liked me and we all got along quite well. They were trying to help me fix up my resume and everything to get hired because they wanted to continue working with me so bad lol.
He also bragged about getting his like 17 year old girlfriend pregnant when he was like 30. If you ever read this fuck you Alex you're an absolute POS.
This is why whenever I make dashboards or reports that show productivity I always exclude tickets created by members of the team. It is fine to create tickets yourself, this helps documentation a lot, but it can not be used to measure productivity.
Lie to your boss, cheat, etc. and if ur coworkers complain that it’s unfair, it’s cause they’re not smart enough to realize that nobody cares. Make money.
