[ale] interesting salary data posted by Red Hat

[Lightner, Jeff]

I'm pretty sure it was for HP-UX.   Maybe HP moved to an outsourced
agency after you worked there?   The guy I was talking to at the time
led me to believe it was a 3rd party company staffing at HP's tower near
Perimeter.    (Of course HP has since sold that.)

Must have been phone support for windows home users. 

When I was first tier HPUX/Solaris support at HP in 2001 we got around
$28/hr (which was _really_ good for the several bozos in the team who
didn't know how to change a password much less build and mount a raid
array). Night shift got a bit more. That sucked for first shift who had
to clean up after 3rd shift screw-ups.

I got that $12/hr figure from a head hunter back in 2002 who was asking
me to apply for a night job doing phone support for HP.   When I replied
that he couldn't get anyone good for even twice that for a day job he
responded that he does get people all the time.  To me that explained
why HP phone support first level was so clueless at the time.  I'm sure
by now they've raised it to $12.25 or so...
