r/helpdesk↗
A community for IT help desk, service desk, and desktop support professionals, plus anyone working their way up through a tech career. Tickets, tooling, certs, interviews, and war stories. We are not affiliated with Reddit, Inc. and this is not Reddit's official help desk, so we can't help with Reddit accounts, bans, or the app (try r/help). Not for personal device troubleshooting either (try r/techsupport).
