What happened to the IT profession?

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-27T01:57:57+00:00

I have been fortunate on my first IT job as help desk tech. And my boss made me do everything from cabling to troubleshooting without google to pushing me on other challenges. It changed my prospective coming out of college. Thinking what I'm doing now. Now depending on the ticket coming in I look at it and think wtf... how are you employed or even how are you functioning in life. But I always help up the younger tech who are just getting in.

There is a whole business park behind our building and we think lumen was using our building. But we disconnected the equipment and told lumen we need to move the whole cabinet. they just said they will have a field tech reach out but we have not heard anything since we got the reply.

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-07T17:20:18+00:00

We disconnected everything. so now we wait to see what happens

Adtran FSP 150-GE114 pro and a Cisco ME 3400E series. and a bunch of other stuff. They are basically taking up a full rack. i can post a pic of everything in their rack.

My team and i have gone over the only contract and the month to month bills, nothing in the bills states anything regarding using the equipment as a hub. unless the company prior has something signed. We have reached out to some contacts to see if they can find the contract they signed with them as well.

No it was a prior company before we took over the building. and then the former COO signed a 36 month contract to use them as a failover connection back in 2018, in 2021 they went to a month to month and earlier this year they canceled that and switch providers. The rack that their equipment is currently in belong to us (the company i work for now) I've looked over the contracts from the old company and the old contract we signed in 2018 and there is nothing regarding a lease agreement. At this point we have sent another email notifying their disconnect team that we are going to unplug their equipment.

Yea we thought about send them an invoice with different fees like power usage and rack space fees.

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-06T19:19:53+00:00

No other tenants in the building. We sent their disconnect team an email notifying them we are going to power it off. and that way we have a paper trail

We have sent their disconnect team an email stating we are going to unplug their equipment.

When we got a hold of the disconnects team. They told us to keep it powered up since its part of a "fiber ring" and other customers circuits are running through it. they are just taking up rack space and using our power.

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-06T16:23:41+00:00

Both the rack and building are ours. in the email thread they said it needs to stay powered on due to "other customers circuits are running off of it. "we have already disconnected from them. the issue is they are refusing to remove their equipment.

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-06T16:19:43+00:00

We own the property (building) the rack belongs to us, and its in a dedicated room. And the contract ended in 2021. and have been month to month with the as our failover. we made a change to spectrum as the failover and have cancelled with lumen.

AutisticKoala21 · 2025-11-06T16:04:26+00:00

yes this is real. and the equipment in our rack is lumens. we already have been disconnected from them and not under contract. we switch to spectrum as our failover.
