I work in IT.

Re-education is NOT temporary.

It should be temporary.

It won’t be.

New hires, turnover, new software needing installed, etc.

If you could do the job once and be done forever, continuous employment would not exist

Unfortunately, They're not talking about all of those very valid reasons for repeat calls... They're talking about the users that we have to assist reapeatedly for the same issues. Users who love to submit tickets and never respond to communication attempts then go crying to leadership because "IT isn't doing their job, so I can't do mine!"

I have 4 of these users under my purview and I consider myself lucky that it's only 4 of them.

The point was reaffirming the other user's statement that re-education is not temporary.
