My oldest son ran his first solo call for me this week.
Yes, and I might do it again, what's it to you?
No, never.
Mustn't ask us, not its business!
My oldest son ran his first solo call for me this week.
My sons now 45, I don't think he'd appreciate being dragged away from his nice clean management job to spend the day with me getting coated with toner.
At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.
I have brought both my son and my daughter to work on rare occasions. I made sure they were old enough to know how to act in a business environment, and independent enough to sit in the car for calls to customers that would not welcome them. I had to be aware of the liability of them breaking something that the customer has paid money to have serviced professionally. Also, at the time, I was driving a company car, and I was reminded that the company insurance did not cover family members if something were to happen.
Mostly, it was a good experience. We got some bonding time, they learned about how things work, and they got good at handing me tools.
Besides I have no need to bring a child to work as our IT department is mostly staffed by 12 year old kiddies anyway.
