I was an outbound tech at an MSP. I was often not in the office, avoiding much of the drama.
I was hired originally because 3 people quit with no notice on the same friday. Between the time I was hired and fired. Many other people quit and they were very ineffective at hiring.
I was 1 of 2 networking capable techs. I was also constantly out for emergency after emergency. None of which I caused.
I actually live wrote a 4 day week at this place on r/sysadmin back in the day. I took the friday off because it was my birthday. In those 4 days I dealt with over 40 tickets, >25 of which were emergencies. At least half of these clients were clients I never worked on previously. On the friday the company phone was constantly ringing, i didnt pick up and even had an account manager come to my house. Of which he shouldn't know where I lived. Except he sat next to someone who did.
Out of ~30 sysadmins, 25 of which didnt last beyond 6 months. Everyone was fired or quit.
- __turbobrew__ 5y agoI’m sorry you had to go through that. If somebody came to my home on my day off to try and get me to work I would be livid.
- xvilka 5y agoWell, with this description you can cheer - their demise as a company is written on the wall. Especially in the current situation of the worker's market.
