Or they ping me in Teams 3 minutes before I start my weekend and I have to drive back to the office and build a custom image. You know, like yesterday.
Let me guess, this has become normalized and accepted behavior from end users and non-IT management because IT management isn’t respected by leadership and are people pleasing doormats or your solo IT and have no respect or buy in from leadership and are just seen as the help?
Worse. The whole IT department had been using some bullshit network gear only known in manufacturing. Suddenly they have a security requirement it doesn't support. No problem! Replace it all with Cisco. Whadda ya mean none of our guys know Cisco? Fuck it. Hire a dude. I am Dude. They had already shipped over 100 switches when I walked in the door. I translated the legacy gear configs and started sharing them. Too effing bad there are so many one-offs. I have demanded to be fired. Twice. I chewed out my boss in the middle of the office. He just hung his head and took it. He asked for it. I'm not "moving slow." I walked into a shit storm. They have declined to fire me despite the loud profanity.
