Technical Analysis
Nov 21, 2007

I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
I'm not just a mindless office drone, I'm a mindless IT Office Drone, in an office full of (mostly) terrible IT people!

Ah the service desk. Bastion of the future network engineer/software developer/network security guy, etc.

This being a 24/7 helpdesk, I have very few stories involving the office mates, as I just got off a multi-month (lost count) stint on the weekend day shift, also of note, that shift only had one person on it.

I guess my biggest complaint of incompetent bosses, is when my last boss took over, I had already been on the shift about 5 months, so I made a request to get back onto regular days.

Short of it is, he was here for about 4, maybe 6 months before he left, in that whole time I was on the weekday shift once or twice when I was covering for someone. My new boss takes over, and within 2 weeks of her being in charge, I've already got the schedule change.

I don't know if it was incompetence or just office politics, but it kinda made me mad that I had to wait that whole time for something that could have been done in just a few weeks.
