My raise was delayed/canceled last January, and I loudly announced that I was looking.
I have always trained new employees in the use of puttygen and pageant for logins without passwords.
I take care of tablespace problems regularly, that would prevent trucks from leading our loading dock.
I don't have to take malicious action; all I have to do is walk away. And they know it.

- deathanatos 3y agoMoving has a large inertia. It can take a while to get the ducks lined up. It took me a while, last time I did it. But, it did happen.
- diarrhea 3y agoI am slowly led to believe there’s a chasm. On one hand, IT guys in classic sysadmin roles, with perhaps some newly added responsibilities, earning them the DevOps moniker. On the other hand, actual software people, capable of more than managing Active Directory and antivirus software. The former types sometimes proclaim being irreplaceably good, when in reality they’re living out their power fantasies, and were at some point bestowed with all-powerful access. They’re trustworthy, but fungible employees, certainly not kept for their tech chops. I find this to be a weird type.
- voiceblue 3y agoIn my experience the class of people calling what I do “IT” has no conception of million+ dollar roles in software engineering. It’s sort of a (flawed and anecdotal) litmus test in terms of whether they are truly an industry insider.
