The one that I've seen a few times is when a new employee comes, and they literally cannot work due to a variety of IT issues:
- Nobody has ordered a new machine, takes up to a month to sort out
- Their name is spelled wrong in the email system, takes weeks to fix. Especially bad if your role is external facing.
- Subscriptions have not been made for necessary services eg Bloomberg
- Access is denied due to the initial password being unknown. It takes a week to sort out.
I've even heard of people quitting their new job due to one of these issues. It makes the place look really amateur when a new joiner isn't set up to start when they arrive.
- aperson_hello 4y agoI've had this happen to me. Ended up with three work computers after waiting a week after my start date to get one. It was a temporary gig and they were paying me regardless, so no skin off of my back...but it was endlessly frustrating for my boss and I had multiple IT people tied up for hours trying to resolve everything. Edit: I also left another position at another company (to move to a different position at the same company) mostly because it meant I would get a new computer instead of one that would take 20 minutes to boot (and required mid-day reboots as well)
