Rant: Useless IT Admins
posted by pylornsSeriously. I’m really tired of you people. I know how you got your jobs. You kissed a lot of ass and know how to delegate people and throw the wool over upper managements eyes. I will no longer give you any help or suggestions about “what would I do if I was in your situation?” My answer is “You will need to figure that one out because you make 4 times what I make so you should be 4 times as knowledgeable on the subject.”
When my co-worker calls you ahead of time to tell you what we expect to be done before we get there, don’t say “Yeah, yeah, I’m an admin I know what needs to be done.” Then when we get there, you only prove to us that you have absolutely no idea what needs to be done, compounded by the fact that you are 145 miles away.
When I get onsite and have to call you to fix your network because all of the workstations you installed have IP conflicts, don’t tell me that you’ll have to research the issue and get back to me.
When you tell the office manager that their office is COMPLETELY secure, why not make sure that you change the CHEAP Linksys Router password to something other than admin. By the way, there is a reason Cisco bought Linksys. They wanted to get into the HOME market. CISCO is for the office, Linksys for the Home. Say it with me now.
Don’t tell me that you can remote in and then ask me what port you need to open on the router so that you can get RDP to work.
When I explain that you need to set your DNS to internal and setup WINS, don’t again tell me that you need to research it, and then come up with the idea that DNS came out of a movie made by Quentin Tarantino.
Don’t ask me what suggestions I have for resolving your network issues then turn around and patronize me by telling me that you’ve been a systems admin for the school board for quite some time then ask me if I know how to create a group for group policy in Active Directory. Oh and asking how old I am? That’s the best way for me to give you a beating for every year I’ve been doing this. Since I was BORN you dumbshit. I came out of the womb with a computer attached to the hip.

Bad day?? I have to agree with PY - There are some pretty clueless IT Admins out there. I would say that half of the IT Admin dipshits out there couldn’t find their IT Ass from a hole in the ground.
Quote from THE OWNER of an IT Consulting firm - “You mean I can’t run DHCP on my Server and my Router???”
See Py, this is why we should open our own firm. Screw Company X and that lame company your work for and let’s go out on our own!!

wowsers! Remind me to never try and become a Sys admin in your area! I think I’ll stay up here in chicago doing Systems administration. I don’t have a lot of fun messing with Windows based Systems anyways. On the plus side if you think of it this way. Your sys admin will be dead long before you! You’ll have many years free of him!
