      How many of you work in a place where there are 'useless jobs' being done that could either be easily automated, or employees that have 'too much time'?

      We were, but we got to clean those up a few months ago. But as an MSP, we have to supply positions like that to customers. So they aren't useless to us, but are to the customer. Positions that exist only to babysit customer needs.

        You mean you have employees who only work with 1 customer, like always on call every day for just that one customer?

          No, employees who exists only to talk to the customer so that the customer doesn't interrupt the techs. Just there to keep customers with too much spare time themselves from using the techs as someone to chat with all day.

                Best way to combat this... pay attention to ads and do NO business with anyone advertising with platforms like this. If someone advertises to you, avoid them.

                                      This isn't going to follow the over sexed, middle age looking, blood'n'guts trend that's been happening recently at all....

                                      That said, that one's more interesting to me than most. Are they basing it off of any particular game in the series?

                                        That stuff IS the Witcher series. Apart form the great characters and some good quests.

                                          Of course it is. Even on easy it was challenging at times, I'm kinda scarred of what will become of me if any game studio ever get all the physics correct!

                                            I can only guess that it's either The Witcher or Witcher 3.
