Quick question for the guys in 1st line/service desk roles:
What's your workload like? Been in my job as a service desk bod (in a small team of desktop support guys) for a while now, all phone calls come to my phone first, but as a team we deal with all phone calls (at a guess, around 150 a day split between 5 guys) - I answer around 50 phone calls a day and I look after the mailbox and log all incoming emails, around 50-60 per day. The only 'support' work I do is unlocking accounts and resetting passwords, along with the normal troubleshooting on the phone with idiot staff... the other desktop guys resolve the calls, some stuff gets esculated to infrastructure (3rd line?) but we deal with the majority of the calls. Oh and this is multiple customers, 20+. But probably 75% of the calls are raised by one customer who has probably in the region of a couple of thousand users (and growing all the time - 80 more users last month, another 60 in a month or 2).
Then there's other stuff like answering the door, chasing calls with 3rd parties and other bits here and there.
Just wondering what other people's work load is like, we're a small company and it's not a call centre environment, I've done my time in customer service answering 80+ phone calls a day with 20 calls queueing all day long.
