It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Depending on the help desk they probably knew it was you. Did you call from a phone HR knows about? If it was a walk up, did they make the ticket before or after resetting your MFA?

They do have the phone number on record, so I guess that's what they did. More likely though they didn't even check. They made no ticket either, just reset it in the course of an around 3 minute call.

Are you sure there is no ticket? Some systems let you make tickets that the end user is not notified for. Also, depending on the size/ levels of automation your call may have populated all your info on the agents end.
