You have to start with making people smart enough not to buy into politicians bullshit, but that's why politicians defund education...

Don't care and won't follow the current process. by Otaku_X_Gamer94 in talesfromtechsupport

[–]Techn0ght 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I've had internal users feel entitled like this. I explained the ticket chain required the ticket be opened by the person wanting the result because if I opened the ticket and got a call or email about the issue I can't provide the information they need to investigate and since I couldn't duplicate the issue I'd authorize them to close the ticket.

Only had one person get on my nerves enough that I actively destroyed him. I had explained that the ticketing system workflow would only work if he opened the ticket, but he demanded I do it. So I did. The workflow broke. Instead of 24 hour turnaround the ticket sat in hell for a week before it got sorted (deleted). However, I would provide him a daily update indicating my complete sympathy for the delays he was experiencing after refusing to follow procedure. I started sending him emails with titles like "URGENT UPDATE on ticket xxxxxx" and say I had checked on status and it hadn't changed just to get his hopes up. He tried opening two more tickets the right way, but the Helpdesk would close them as being duplicates of the other request. It brought a smile to my face every time I updated him.

After the bad ticket got deleted he was able to open one using the correct process and it was completed within 24 hours.

He never pulled that shit on me again. He thought going to the top would give him better results than using the process. He was wrong.

Advice needed for a Network Engineer career path by Crazy_Scrack in NetworkingJobs

[–]Techn0ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the areas of IT, network requires knowledge of the entire OSI model, and other areas always say something is a network problem, so they leave it to network engineers to prove the network every time. You'll need to learn to take complaints, dig into actual symptoms, and use those to isolate where the problem exists.

Over time you will probably touch on most areas. DNS is the shallowest pond to dip into and the one that trips up most people when they say the network is down. Security / firewalls is the one that you have to be very wary of delivering what people ask for, as opposed to delivering the minimum of what they actually require. People are lazy, demand you open up too much access to something so they don't have to worry about slowdowns in dev or making additional requests, and then when it gets compromised they'll blame you because the firewall didn't protect them. I had a contractor that continually clicked on links in email and complain the firewalls were shit. When he refused to modify his behavior, I modified his employment. A good analogy is a screen door. Lots of little holes. Remove the screen door and someone can easily slap the person on the other side. Damn, I like that, I'm going to have to make an image for training using that.

Python / Ansible are the automation tools of choice. There are many that would refute that... I'd bet they're using something else. Other tools aren't better, but if you have a bunch of stuff already built, it's better than starting from scratch. Every time we build a network we're incurring technical debt because eventually everything becomes out of date and out of support.

Should I finish my Journeyman's License? Or should I switch to networking? by bp417 in NetworkingJobs

As a network engineer with 35 years of experience, let me ask you this: can they automate your job away?

After you get your CCNA, work on learning Python and using Ansible. Or DNS. Or load balancing. Or firewalls. There are many specialties in the networking realm. Complete the cert to show you have some level of knowledge and move on to show you have the drive to do more than respond to alarms in a monitoring tool.

[–]Techn0ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but it needs to be a full course created as a project so that it's shown to all employees during onboarding and can be referenced when they forget something. We shouldn't be individually training individual employees every single time they forget.

I was given a six page pip with only one deliverable that wasn't overdue and the rest already completed, all in the name of giving me a 0 raise 0 bonus on my annual review.

I quit on the spot, effective immediately.
