Growing into the Role: A Tuberspective into the Greenest Member of Support<\/h2>\n
We\u2019d like to introduce you to the newest member of the Tech Support crew, KC3. (To be clear, his name is KC, but we already have two<\/i> Casey\u2019s!)<\/p>\n
This lil\u2019 spud is a real go-getter. Although not yet answering tickets or eye deep in support chats, he brings a real spark of life to the team. Brought on by an existing Support Tech, Dan, with a recommendation from one of our Physical Media Techs, JC, we knew KC3 would dig right in and get dirty, working alongside everyone else.<\/p>\nDay One: Fresh faced and rarin’ to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
To be candid, he did have to be carried initially, but once he\u2019d been with us a couple of weeks, he really set down roots. Since then, he has been invaluable to other teams as well!<\/p>\nInternal discussion about personnel growth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
As is customary for all new hires, he had to do \u201cThe Questionnaire\u201d!<\/p>\n
Backblaze: What is your Backblaze title?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: How Prestigious. For entry-level? Wow. Where are you originally from?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Real strong roots there. Nice! What attracted you to Backblaze?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: We appreciate that. What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Lofty goals indeed. Where else have you worked?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . ”<\/p>\n
B: Started at ground level, how industrious! Where did you go to school?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Ivy league, neat! What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Such noble aspirations. Of what achievements are you most proud?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: That\u2019s so sweet. Why do you like certain things?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: How insightful! Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: That\u2019s fairly far afield, sounds fun. Favorite hobby?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: That\u2019s a hot scene, I could see hopping from place to place. Favorite food?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Sorry, we won\u2019t bring it up again. Star Trek or Star Wars?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Wise choice, considering the split in the office already. Coke or Pepsi?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: No, no, vodka is an acceptable answer. Anything else you\u2019d like to tell us?<\/strong><\/p>\n
KC3: \u201c . . . \u201d<\/p>\n
B: Deep. We look forward to you applying that salt-of-the-earth wisdom to your tasks!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Although not a-peeling during his first few days, he has unequivocally grown over the last few weeks. So much so that he has even risen to a spudvisory role\u2014keeping an even tone and demeanor, even when engaged in difficult conversations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thanks for joining the team, KC3. We look forward to you continually rising to the challenge, reaching higher and higher with your perfectly starched attire!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
