On the one hand I make better money than most. 700 a week after taxes. However its just not fucking worth it.
I work in information technology. The job Im doing is easily made for 3-5 people. Ironically I was in this same position years ago and could easily handle. Why? Because I had permissions/access to everything. Instead this place wont let me:
Automate deployment of software. MSI files etc.
Wants me to work on machines like chemistry analyzers. Which Im not qualified to work on.
Throws me a non stop wave of non-IT problems.
Their last admin set THE whole place up wrong. Literally cleaning up his mess while being told how great he was. The dude was a literal fuck up.
I have two desks above mine in terms of permissions, they wont give me access to things like Powershell. I cant access regedit and their solution is a nonstop wave of “you dont need that… oh we cant do that for you. Heres how we want you to do it…we dont know anything about your site… you are on your own.” then what they give me is work for several weeks and Im expected to have it done in a day.
They sent me a person as a contact at our higher helpdesk and the first thing he did was pass all of his work down to me and say “not my problem” I promptly told him “Sorry I dont have time for this. You want this done, then take all this from me.” Never had him call or message me again.
In any one moment Im…
Remoted into 2-3 computers. Also usually using a second laptop to remote into computers and set up software. On the phone with a third party cloud solution. Setting up a phone. Working on setting 2-3 computers up to pass out and trouble shooting a chemistry analyzers network connections.
I have a literal pile of paperwork on my desk that people are complaining I havent signed.
I fucking hate this place.
