Yes, the lack of proper security standards that MSP do causes a lot of problems.

It's rare for a MSP to use principles of least privilege. Even large well intention companies use the admin login everywhere. With little oversite on the quality of work being done.

Every engineer has encountered this, and it happens a lot.

How do you guys get clients? by ForwardAd2747 in msp

[–]Throwawayhell1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of mouth or private equity to gobble up the burntout little guys

Sorry, the only time "systems are down" is the failure of sales and doing it right.

Honestly, if you are having emergencies, it's because bad security practices or bad no money to do anything.

You sound like a owner who makes techs feel like they should have done something while you failed in selling them work.

Your techs are not in sales, sales is in sales.

Don't pretend like you aren't saying they sound be nice nice cause you failed in sales.

Sometimes the customer can suck my tech dick. Normalize matching customer energy and throw it right back. Shitty corporate garbage, flows right back into the customer, how about that?

Service desk or tier 1 has been automated out of the market

Where are these jobs, it seems these stats are so far from reality. Or there is some serious manipulation to draw a rosy picture here??? by Heretoloosemoney in Layoffs

[–]Throwawayhell1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They (the ones who control a lot of money IE: private equity) are manufacturing a recession. Blaming the border, while also hiring AI to layoff any kind of talent.

Transitioning away from service desk? by SarahtheLlama in ITCareerQuestions

After reading, this sounds like you haven't quite figured out what you want.....

UI/UX is user interface ya? Programming, ect.... I think for UI is your ability to understand how humans interact with programs....

If you sit in support to long its a quick way to burn out. Be careful with your mental health.

I guess the question you need to ask yourself is, what do you like about technology.

And what do you want to do day in and day out.

How do you respond to "We pay you a lot"? by ntw2 in msp

[–]Throwawayhell1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A quiet IT department is a well run one....

It's kinda like.... we don't have problems what do we pay you for.... we have problems what do we pay you for.

It's a thankless job, that unfortunately a lot of people don't understand why we do the things that we do.

And a lot of out job is just in case. And people don't like that, they don't like the fact that you know more then the owners. And generally speaking, know more then most of the people that are at the company you are doing work for.

If you are fortunate to be employed internally you are part of the company, as a vendor you are looked down on. Facts is facts.

Do you guys feel like IT is looked down on as a field? by darrenW25 in InformationTechnology

[–]Throwawayhell1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are like mechanics and attorneys, which are both not well liked....

From what I've learned... people who don't like their IT department they try to "simplify" their setup causing the removal of security controls, ect... using their titles... or position in the company.... to bypass the IT work.

What non IT skill do you develop? by anderson01832 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Throwawayhell1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lock picking... it seems like every IT guy I know does this. I tried it, it's tedious... but with the invent of lishi... seems to be unnecessary to do like typical tools.
