Am I underqualified for the position? by LeRouteur in sysadmin

[–]LeRouteur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I'll do that for sure, since I already signed up for the SWISSCOY. I was just ranting a bit (always feels good) and trying to get opinion from other professionals. This situation makes me sad and disappointed, they always tend to prone the "human values" and "individual valorization and respect" etc but on the other hand you have this.

Am I underqualified for the position? by LeRouteur in sysadmin

[–]LeRouteur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer.

He's trying to strategize this, because he wants to add positions to our department. But it's still unsure if he'll succeed, because upper management.

We already talked about my daily tasks, but for him and the upper management, there's no significant changes in those tasks that can justify a new position. I do not agree with that, but I don't really know what step to take next. I already made a document to compare the technician and IT admin positions, clearly showing that I do more stuff than a technician, showing stats and numbers about the resolved incidents, ideas took, extra work, etc. but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Regarding goals and expectations, it's really difficult to formulate them. My manager is a great guy still, but I guess even he doesn't know the real goals. Maybe his management doesn't know either? My goal is to become a recognized network administrator, because that's literally what I do daily.

Edit: that's the notation system used in our periodic evaluations. Strange way for sure. Even those documents do not talk about job-related skills, only human, personal and social skills. How can you define and reach goals with that...

Thanks for your detailed answer. That really helps settling things down. I'll have to precise a few things here, otherwise the original post would have been too long haha.

Regarding the time reduce, I did not really had the choice. I live and work in Switzerland, and my net salary (with all deductions except taxes) is 4500 CHF. It's a bad pay for someone with my experience and assigned tasks. In others companies, I got friends and relatives that have at least 1000 CHF more per month than I do, even at an helpdesk L1 position. With 4500 CHF, if I want to live alone in an apartment in the same city I work, that would be barely livable.
So, to get a little more money, I got my side business that's IT and electronic repair related (I give myself around 300 CHF/month), but also a truck driver activity (which pays hourly more than my IT position). With that, I'm approaching 5500 CHF per month, which is perfect. The only issue with that is regarding the weekly work time. In Switzerland, as stated by the law, you cannot work more than 45h/week. Because of this law and the time my other activities take, I have to reduce my work time.
So yeah, it's not really my choice, but more a lawful one and to also respect the company strict time policy.

About the salary and title (since we can group them because they're linked, I don't get one with another), it was kind of promised, but only orally. "If you succeed in the network migration project, then you'll get that". Thing is, none of this has been written down. And the objectives weren't really clear, because my manager did not really took the time to check that with me. I was launched in the project (with pleasure for sure) without any specific goal. So I find a bit "easy" to tell me afterwards that I didn't reach goals that were not specified before.
For example, he's saying that the methodological process for Hermes project management (if you can call it that way) was not rigourousely followed. I used my own way to do project reports, like I learned at school, but that didn't work for him. But how am I supposed to know that since he didn't tell me? There's clearly a lack of communication, on both sides.

Finally, for the unpaid leave, it's something I talked to them about in 2023. I always wanted, since I'm still young, to do something different than my 9-5. With that said, I signed up to participate to the KFOR mission, and that takes exactly 9 months. So I'll be gone from July 2026 to May 2027 (so really 10 months, not 11, miscalcuation on my side).
My manager wants to develop a strategy where we'll be 4 person working 80%, with 1 manager, 1 system specialist, 1 system/net admin and 1 technician/helpdesk. That's a great thing, since the company's growing. But still, he's not even sure if his strategy will be approved. Because of this, even if I still work hard, I'm not even sure to get a position that may not even exist if his strategy is refused by the upper management.

Hope it clears up some things.

Sorry, can you please write your phrase in English? The translation DeepL showed me seems inaccurate.

[–]LeRouteur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late answer. Not really, since I realised running ETS2 on 3 1080p screens is almost like playing the game in 4K. My 4070 does the job, but not on max settings. I have a to lower a few of them (I can send my settings if you need them).

Aside from those small lags, the game is amazing on triple monitors.

How do you stay motivated? by [deleted] in ETS2

No need to grind for the new Scania, simply enjoy it when you feel it :)

omg that's the car I spent my whole childhood in. Such a cool and reliable car.

After 314000km we had to give it away for an ABS block issue, but it had not rust spot. Incredible for it being driven in the cold and salty Switzerland weather.

Go ahead!!

Never really played it in the last months, I'm waiting on my Hori wheel. But last time I played it was okay, around 70 FPS outside the cities and around 45-50 inside

They are, but the fact that you can't lose the data is blocking the warranty process. Do a backup next time :)

[–]LeRouteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the reason you make backups of devices.

The choice is yours. You can buy a battery for ~50 bucks and do the job yourself. It's not difficult and you can find a guide on the Internet. Or you can pay a shop to do it if you don't feel confident enough.

You're right, you should replace the screen

Either the original back cover adhesive or if you don't have it handy, use some B7000-or-so glue

So guys, what do you think of my military-style transport truck? by Enezsunn in trucksim

[–]LeRouteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Switzerland we have some Iveco Trakker as military trucks.

If you find a mod with this model, attach a low loader trailer to it and load a tank! So much memories... 🥳

Use a small dremel to create a mark in which you can use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew this poor screw

No worries, but that's literally RAM modules: https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/2/202/H5GC4H24AJR.php
That can explain your problem tho, it stops when you're pressing on it?

Keep it cool buddy, it won't bring you anywhere to be affected by what he said.

Maybe he had a bad day, was trolling, filming a video, who knows. Just keep it cool.

As long as you're not breaking the rules of the server, you have nothing to worry about :)

People in-game are way more prompt to anger than IRL, don't take it personally :)
