Hey, if my boss wants to pay me my salary to wipe down some electronics, I'm game. Besides, I don't think they have a server room.

- nix23 5y agoWith so many jobs there is no way you could do a good job (in a timely manner)...then the problems start.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI'm willing to bet most of these things only come up once in a blue moon. I really think everyone is interpreting this disingenuously.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoWhen you are the only IT person then you can expect to all sorts of other duties to come your way. Having said that my guess is this job would be shit and only someone desperate will take it.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI've worked jobs like this, they were usually pretty chill actually. The actual IT work is pretty minimal (that's why there is only one of you!) so you don't really mind helping out with random tasks. This is a small[0] non-IT business, they don't need someone who builds k8s for funsies. Honestly, it's beginning to sound like a lot of people here just think IT is a very narrow field that only encompasses people too aloof to wipe down a monitor on occasion or assist the receptionist in running a malware scanner.

- dkadams 5y agoNon-trained personal cleaning around electronics can be a source of IT issues. Unplugging things so they can vacuum or wax, dislodging cables with aggressive dusting, etc. I'd rather be responsible for regular cleaning and maintence than get a call from the owner that the fancy electronic sign they overpaid for is down again because of a loose connection.
- nix23 5y ago>>there are cleaning institutes for electrical equipment...even in Birmingham. But no one touches my Server...and room ;)
