I do my own repairs!

Anyone that comes to your house to repair your computer isn't just a tech but also a sales person, more so a sales person since he/she will get beat up for not selling enough services for that month. So he want to rape them on a virus removal that didn't exsist, nothing out of the norm there. Bastards! (I am a certified tech I know the game it is just awful and thus I don't work in retail anymore)

I've lost sooo many jobs because I refuse to be dishonest like this. Once worked for a company where on the off-time the guy was making me build... $30 computers with Pentium 2's, and putting them in new cases, telling me to throw in 2 Dial-Up Modems (this was in a small town, so Dial-Up was prominent) and selling it to people for $1000+ telling them that 2 dial up modems made it run faster... needless to say, when I found out, I told him I was done, and to keep the change.

@mbe102 Same.. I remember working at a local retailer in Australia and they were doing pretty much the same thing.. selling low-end computers at high-end prices. Never saw any repair "fraud" stuff like this but I am not surprised in the least that it goes on... this is what happens when people are set sales targets and the like.. quality goes straight out the window so that they don't lose their jobs.

@mbe102 good job, some people get really mad about being screwed over and react with violence, you are smart for getting out of that shit.

[mbe102]

@Plusquevie Ironically enough I got another job as the lead technician elsewhere, a business in my City (Laptop Depot, Edmonton Alberta Canada), and they were far shadier. That and he wasn't even paying me. Haha, I'm just going to start my own damn business. You want something right, do it yourself, no?

[Plusquevie]

@mbe102 its true, do it yourself is best, then you are responsible for your own conscience. big companys like best buy like to use big words and the masquerade of geek squad logos to frighten consumers into believing every word they speak. once i was at best buy and i was viewing my character profile for world of warcraft and they thought i was actually playing the game. thats when i realized that they are just inexperienced salesman, thats all.

[mbe102]

@Plusquevie Wow haha. yeah I once went into Futureshop, here in Canada, and these folks couldn't find anyone to help them, they were looking at routers for a wireless home network set up. But because no one would make commission, they kind of avoided them like the plague, and they couldn't find anyone. So I went up, talked to them, and helped them out. Was pathetic. and at the conscience thing, that's the only reason I'd be happy to do it, I'm okay with my morals haha.
