I submitted a ticket to get system access. A few days later, I looked up the status of my ticket. Everything was approved, but I never got my credentials. I opened a chat session with the help desk and asked where my credentials were. After a few minutes, I noticed a new open ticket in my email. Apparently, the help desk opened a new ticket to find out the status of my original ticket.

So the help desk opens a ticket to get the status of another ticket the help desk already has?

I worked at one place back in the day where "touching tickets" was a metric so the entire help desk would open a ticket just to get the "touch" for the metric. Resolving a ticket was like #12 on the list of things to get done.

Yea, I definitely suspect that's the case here.

There's a ticketing software who's mantra is "Everything's a ticket." This is dumb, they should have reopened the previous ticket and resolved it properly. Now, there's two tickets that are probably not referencing each other and you look like a boob that can't remember your credentials, depending on what they said in the ticket.

Depending on the ticketing software, after a certain amount of time, we can't open the old ticket. Yes it's dumb.

I'm gonna need to make a ticket about your complaint about your ticket.

They are likely not in the same country as the IT, or security department.
