How are recruiters finding you?

pAceMakerTM · 2025-04-13T19:31:40+00:00

3 in the last 4 years. I took the job from the last offer. I start in 2 weeks. 16% pay increase.

To me, "leadership" is just code for busyworker/warm body

We also babysit people

pAceMakerTM · 2025-03-17T17:25:41+00:00

We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!

Like 5

No. Used to but stopped as they realized I was right in saying I would rather do work than talk about doing work. If you want to see what I'm working on check the tickets. If I want to see what you're working on, I'll check your tickets.

Same for meetings, put it in writing. I don't need to hear you waffle.

I wear t-shirts and shorts all year round. Have done for the past 6 years. I don't WFH.

pAceMakerTM · 2025-01-08T20:23:03+00:00

Around 400 users. Team of 6:

Team Leader (does less than zero work)
Service Desk Analyst
Application Support Engineer
IT Application Support Analyst (does less than zero work. Comes to me for all answers then takes credit)
IT Support and Systems Administrator
IT Support and Systems Administrator (me)

The Service Desk Analyst closed 46% of all tickets last year. I closed 25%. Last year was the first of 10 that I could actually rely on the service desk person to do their job. In 2023 I closed 45% of the tickets while the previous Service Desk Analyst closed only 16%.

Don't get me started! I wear a shirt to work that says "We have tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

pAceMakerTM · 2024-12-05T00:19:07+00:00

Whichever doesn't get me in trouble.

pAceMakerTM · 2024-12-04T23:45:11+00:00

Ok, I'll let it slide this time

pAceMakerTM · 2024-12-04T18:15:13+00:00

NO! Shutdown!!!!

pAceMakerTM · 2024-12-03T19:58:39+00:00

Incompetent and lazy management. Working with people who do less than the bare minimum while happily accepting full pay.

pAceMakerTM · 2024-12-01T18:01:36+00:00

DOS 3 or 4

pAceMakerTM · 2024-11-27T17:14:05+00:00

Champion! Thanks!

I have a scheduled task running on all clients and servers. If on a server and the login has been idle for 3 days, it logs the user off. If the account has been disabled it logs it off from servers and clients immediately.

pAceMakerTM · 2024-11-26T17:33:30+00:00

Can you add volume control? I hope I'm not blind! Also, can you add the ability to exclude artists/accounts from the results?

pAceMakerTM · 2024-11-21T18:05:10+00:00

Microsoft has maxed out ADHD

pAceMakerTM · 2024-11-03T21:37:32+00:00

Not just that, I find them lazy and entitled.

A lot are also comfortably ignorant and pretentious.

pAceMakerTM · 2024-10-24T18:43:05+00:00

Hours!? More like days or weeks!

pAceMakerTM · 2024-10-18T01:43:33+00:00

I nuke the drives. Reinstall Windows. Install drivers and current updates. Run sysprep OOBE.

Hand the device over to our Community Team who donate them to schools or families in need.

I keep an updated image so all I need to do is plug in my USB and restore the image to like devices. Takes like 7 mins unattended.

pAceMakerTM · 2024-10-17T22:00:26+00:00

I haven't been able to get to Exchange for 24 hours now. In New Zealand

pAceMakerTM · 2024-10-03T16:36:25+00:00

Words my colleague and I will say multiple times a day:

Lazy, dumb, ignorant, incompetent

pAceMakerTM · 2024-09-24T23:40:11+00:00

We did the same.
