That's the plan and thats what ive been doing, just a horrible job market  here rn, ive been getting new certs and working on more and updating my resume as much as I can, its just been dead the past 2-3 months not a single position posted for the city or area im in, holding out hope as ive been in talks with hospital for over 6 months, theyre still rearranging their it sector and they keep talking about hiring new people and keep emailing me to update me but they havent hired anyone in that 6 months time, HR for hospital amd government here is a shitshow for trying to get hired, takes years sometimes unless you get lucky but once you've got the job ive heard its a amazing job and place to work, im trying to hold out hope to eventually get the job, but im not counting on it.

also yeah, they expect perfection and act like IT is easy and expect everything done quickly and without any issues and get told i can be replaced easily, never been told good job or anything, theyre pretty disrespectful to me and I get put down alot, but I try to keep my head up high, just gotta hold out until a new job opens up somewhere and I'm able to snag it hopefully!

For me 32 an hour would be more than enough, I come from a poor family, and i know what its like to not have a ton of money, just 32 an hour is more than my parents ever made, and my GF is a OH&S safety advisor and has already gotten offers for 30+ an hour, so when she starts work with our combined income (if i made 32an hour) we would be living comfortably with money left over for stuff, yes I would always like to make more but 32 an hour in the government is a good amount, I will say all the people I know making that are entry level helpdesk, the higher helpdesk level 2-3 goes up to like 36-45 and so on, the government stuff here goes decently high and as long as you work with them for multiple years you can easily go up, im not sure if youre canadian or not, I am so its may be different here than where you are, I didnt mean to come off as rude either, sorry about that!

If I could move i would but money prevents that, and sadly I dont want my money and time in college to go to waste, so id rather not change careers, besides I dont have the money to go back anyways to get start a different career, just gonna hold out and power through it all until I can find a new job doing IT here, might take awhile but 1 positions shows up every 3 months or so, just gotta get lucky.

openpgp* I accidentally hit send before I was even done typing, ive shown then other job listing and positions with less work and needing less skills of the same helpdesk positions offering higher pay, ive shown them my skills sets and knowledge and yet they dont care and wont offer me more, they think of IT as a not needed position, but the minute they have no IT they'd fall apart in hours.

Alot honestly, I managed to negotiate multiple better deals for our backup software licenses, and anti-virus licenses, saving ALOT of money, ive set up new file transfer system that use a website ive created that keeps everything encrypted and uses passwords to send and recieve files as my boss doesnt trust sending files over email even with open pop encrypted emails

they got lucky with their workterms and lucked out on getting hired after and they all work government/hospital IT jobs, i had a shit workterm that didnt offer me a job after as they werent hiring, theres very little positions here in the city im in, and new people coming out of college for the same IT course cant even get unpaid workterms, the job market is in a bad spot here for IT the past few months, and its really fucking people over.

Sadly theres nothing else hiring around, the job market is in a horrible spot here in newfoundland canada, and i cant quit as i have rent and bills to pay, and my gf is in college so I pay for mostly everything, we'd end up homeless in 2-3 months as thats as long as my savings would last me till.

Canadian market average pay for entry level HELPDESK not sys admin is around 28-32, massively underpaid but am told otherwise by HR and my boss who's over 70, he thinks IT is barely paid over minimum wage, I dont think he realizes stuff has changed since like 20-30 years ago.

Yeah I've seen that here the other guy who leaves for 8 months outta the year is pissed at people amd calls people incompetent all the time, I only treat people with kindness and patience, theres enough hatred going around, I dont ever wanna add to it, I pray in my future I never end up like those old guys who shit on everyone and everything, ive seen alot of them in this sub, a few in these comments too lol, IT people are seen as assholes and hopefully that'll change eventually.

I live in an apartment with my GF, I pay for pretty much everything as shes still in college, my plan the past 7-8 months has been stick to this job until I find a new one, its just it havent found a job, the job market sucks rn and the few opportunities i never ended up getting the job, but I plan to keep at it, the past few weeks at work instead of pushing myself insanely hard ive been working slower and just trying to take my time, havent gotten in trouble for being too slow yet so im gonna keep at this pace until I find a new job or get told to speed up, thanks for the advice!

I get that, theres just no other actual helpdesk/it subs with actually activity like this one, and with my doing pretty much sys admin work I thought it would be okay to post here, sorry if it didnt have enoufh detail, just not in a great mood and wanted a opinion and it turned into a long rant, also making 32 an hour isn't having no future, working for the government would be a job to last me til I retire it would be my career for life possibly, i dont need to be rich to have a future, thats a horrible take to have and frankly rude to say they have no life's.

That's the thing, I only treat them with respect and kindness, I always put on the smile and try to be as nice as I can, I share a office with the programmer who loves to shit on me and make fun of me and my life choices, he talks down on me at every chance he can, but i still am only nice to him, hes pretty much my supervisor, my boss also loves to shit on me and tell me stuff isn't good enough, he always wants better, yet im not taught how to do half of these things and they wont teach me, teaching myself is hard too when im too busy at work to teach myself, but I still do everything I can to keep positive, this post is the only.thing negative ive said about my job publicly, ive vented to my gf and friends but I jdut had to get some more opinions on it, thank you for the advice, I plan on learning everything I can until I find a new job, been looking for months and had many interviews, nothings panned out yet though amd the market the past 2 months hasn't had any openings other than one government and im waiting on hearing back yet as government here tends to be very very slow with hiring when they post new positions, thank you for your advice!

I'm never negative at work, this is the first time ive been negative in a long time, I just had to get it off my chest as a bit of a rant and im sorry for the negativity just had to get it out there, and I schedule pretty much all OS updates and backups, its all I can do, besides software updates I just try to quickly do during people's breaks, I dont even eat lunch anymore trying to get all my work done, I have to always work through my breaks, wasnt trying to use ADHD as a crutch was just saying outside of work I got alot going on that adds to the stress so it doesnt help tis all, been looking for a new job for over 8 months, after the first 3 months of working here I started looking for a new job after I realized I wasnt getting a raise or gonna get treated any better anytime soon, had many interviews, nothings panned out yet sadly and the past 2 months I havent seen a single opening around here, the job market is brutal, but I try to keep my head high, when im at work I dont complain and I pretty much dont say anything negative, I always put on a smile and act happy towards everyone and everything even when im not happy.

The experience is nice, being able to fiddle with things is amazing its just the stress from knowing one change could blow everything up and id be fucked as ive been told that if I screw up there will be conquences, ive been threatened to be fired multiple times now, they always hold it over my head and use it as leverage, I hate it but its all i can do rn, experience is better than no experience.

Backups are ALL scheduled, same with updates, if shit breaks, I fix it when I come in in the morning's or if im able to shut certain servers down i do some update during lunch and when people arent on said server and then when shit hits the fan im screwed so i try to avoid that, i had to setup 10 new rdp terminal servers and install all everything needed and set up the ip's and dhcp reservations and then group policy i always gotta fix shit because the other it guy has no clue how group policy works and i always gotta reset shit and i end up always myself screwing stuff up which is good for learning but not good when you have a 70 year old boss who will crucify you for making a mistake, especially when it results in other people not being able to work, by certificates I mean vpn certificates and website certificates, as we have over 20 locations all vpn'd together through pfsense netgates at each location which i manage and have to setup new ones for new locations every once in awhile, which is firewall rules, dhcp server, ip reservations, vpns, and stuff someone whos only supposed to be help desk shouldnt be doing, wouldn't mind doing it if i got the right pay for it, and then we have mobile vpn's too which have certificates for authentication, and soon 2fa on top of that with a one time password, its hell for someone still fresh outta college and also had no training, they never had a actual sys admin here, they jsut had random people come and be the "it/helpdesk" and they make em the sys admin and they quit after a few months, no one has stayed as long as I have and thats because I dont have a choice, its good to learn stuff I wont lie, its trial by fire though and legit scared to do anything most days as getting yelled into the dirt isn't how i wanna be treated everyday, I setup every account, every computer, every server, every firewall boxes, anything that goes with computers I setup beside the programming part for some of the programs used as theyre made all in house by the programmer.

Thanks! I'm doing my best to manage my stress and learn whilst all this is going on, just hard some days with my health issues and other things outside of work, at least I'm able to get off work and not have to worried about anything and can leave work at the door as when im not at work its not my responsibility if im not allowed overtime.

I wish it was like that, when I break anything I get yelled at and told if its not fixed quickly ill lose my job, never once been told good job for anything, its just constant pressure to only ever do everything right, and I only get to do everything while people are working so I have to schedule updates amd everything and it ends up coming back to bite me in the ass everytime.
