It seems like they hire the most ignorant fucks to work at support places. You call and tell them what the problem is, and they give you some song and dance about what the problem might be. I said "listen, I know what the problem is, can you fix it or not" and they transfer you to someone who "knows more about this stuff." I know they're just reading everything off a screen, but damn, these people need to get a fucking clue.

If you were really smart would you work there? Or would you like to pay more for the product so that they can get better workers?

Oh man, so true, whenever I call Linksys I get some guy right off the boat. Half the time is spent with me trying to translate what is being said into English.

I never really thought about this but it makes sense. Most of the people are too dumb to try and come up with a solution themselves.
