So I manage an IT department. We are very busy. My helpdesk guy left with 6 days notice a couple weeks ago, and now my Network Admin is leaving because management kept setting the “work from home” goalposts further and further.
I had a meeting with my boss, told him I’m feeling disrespected, burned out and not enjoying work anymore. He told me “we really don’t like you either, probably time for you to look for a new job”.
I basically keep the place running and do the work of about 4 people. There is so much I know that no one else knows.
They hired a guy that applied for another job for the helpdesk position and he has no clue what “an administrator” in a program is. Doesn’t know anything. Close to worthless as a helpdesk guy.
What should my next steps be?
- Call out sick for a few days.
- Call a doctor and ask them to file stress disability for me
- Quit right now.
- Other ideas?
