Top support agents are facing an identity crisis as AI takes the easy work. The fix isn’t more training on old metrics — it’s new skills in empathy, discovery, and prompting, plus clear rules on when humans must own the conversation. Guneet Singh breaks it down: youtu.be/qPhC7-3r7l0 #AIwithArunShow #HumanAI #CXLeadership #SupportAutomation

A board meeting I sat in years ago. Head of operations asked for six new support engineers. CFO had pre-approved four. The conversation lasted ninety minutes and ended with everyone agreeing to revisit in two quarters. Two quarters later, the same person asked for eight engineers. CFO approved six. And so on. This is the hiring trap, and I've watched it play out at every operator I've worked with. The math never works because the demand for triage grows with the team. Bigger teams mean more handoffs. More handoffs mean more coordination overhead. More coordination overhead means more triage at the management layer. Six new engineers cost you $1.66M loaded — including ramp-up and recruiting. If 70% of incoming tickets are triage, then 70% of what those six engineers will do is triage. You just spent $1.66M to hire more administrative workers. The actual lever isn't on the supply side. It's on the demand side. Reduce the volume of tickets that require human time and your existing team handles the queue with room to spare. I wrote about the trap and the fix.

You said: There are painful processes every entrepreneur goes through to start and sustain any business. The vigilantes who are now acting as labour inspectors are likely to force busineses to close down, replace African workers with other more copperative ethnic groups, or automate and replace workers with robots, AI, drones etc. The rights of entrepreneurs and investors must aloso be respected and property boundaries must be observed. The emplpyer -employee relationship is governed by labour laour, CCMA and the labour court it must not be diluted by vigilantes in RSA. The GNU must protect entrepreneurs from additional pain imposed by vigilantes.There are painful processes every entrepreneur goes through to start and sustain any business. The vigilantes who are now acting as labour inspectors are likely to force busineses to close down, replace African workers with other more copperative ethnic groups, or automate and replace workers with ronots, AI, drones etc. The rights of entrepreneurs and investors must aloso be respected and property boundaries must be observed. The emplpyer -employee relationship is governed by labour laour, CCMA and the labour court it must not be diluted by vigilantes in RSA. The GNU must protect entrepreneurs from additional pain imposed by vigilantes. In South Africa, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) and Labour Relations Act (LRA) legally govern all employer-employee relationships. Private individuals and unauthorized organizations are not permitted to act as labor inspectors. Entrepreneurs should utilize formal state frameworks and consult legal professionals to ensure full compliance and protection. The Regulatory Framework vs. VigilantismAuthorized Inspections: The Department of Employment and Labour (DOEL) has distanced itself from "vigilantes" or unauthorized groups masquerading as labor inspectors. Only duly appointed officials are authorized to enter property, audit payroll, and inspect worker documents. Dispute Resolution: All employment-related conflicts and disputes must be mediated or resolved through the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) or the Labour Court. Protecting Rights: Unlawful interference, property invasion, or intimidation by vigilante groups should be reported immediately to the South African Police Service (SAPS) as criminal conduct. Employment Laws and ComplianceUndocumented Workers: Government authorities are actively penalizing businesses that employ undocumented foreign nationals. Employers can be fined up to R100,000 per worker or face jail time under the Immigration Act. Worker Rights: Under the BCEA, businesses must provide written employment contracts, maintain accurate attendance registers, and provide legal minimum wages. Unfair Dismissals: Employers must follow fair disciplinary procedures; failure to do so allows affected workers to refer disputes directly to the CCMA. Business Strategy and SupportAutomation and Efficiency: Many businesses turn to automation, drones, and AI to scale productivity. However, changing operating models requires careful workforce restructuring that aligns with LRA requirements. Government Support: The Government of National Unity (GNU) and the Department of Employment and Labour are tasked with balancing economic growth with the strict enforcement of employment and immigration laws.

70% of your support tickets aren't actually problems. They're knowledge base questions your customers could answer themselves. Incomplete bug reports missing logs and reproduction steps. False alarms where monitoring shows green but customers reported red. Duplicate tickets where two engineers do the same work twice. Real engineering work — the bugs, the architecture problems, the customer escalations that need judgment — that's maybe 15-25% of your incoming queue. The rest is triage tax. In a 50-person support organization, that triage tax costs you 10 full-time engineers worth of time. Five million dollars per year. Spent on activities a well-designed automation could handle. And no, hiring more people doesn't fix it. Every new engineer absorbs the same triage work and the queue stays full. You're not solving the problem — you're feeding it.
