New job...

[docskurlock.livejournal.com]

So I was recently hired to be the IT Manager for a company in Dallas. The former IT Manager left and took ALL of the information about the servers with him. Now, I know there is no code of ethics, but honestly, just because you're pissed, does that mean you screw the new guy over? What do you guys think?

I got really screwed over by a company when I was working as their admin, but I didn't take any of the documentation with me. That's just above and beyond--I mean, you're mad at the company, not whatever poor sap they get to replace you.

I got my revenge by the fact that the idiot they hired to replace me knew nothing about computers, couldn't connect the new machines I'd ordered for them, and on the day I went to pick up my final paycheck, 2 computers were down and so was the printer. I had to stay and fix things or I wouldn't've gotten paid--at least they paid me another 40 bucks for my two hours of time.

Hey, at least they paid you for your time. This guy left and I think he took a computer with him. A mission critical computer, I might add. That and he didn't leave the admin password for one of the servers either. So I'm still having to deal with that and most of my utilities aren't working for a scsi array, so I'm having to work my butt off.

Sorry to say this, but a company cannot hold your pay just because their systems are down, or the idiot in charge decides to bring them down to make it look like you are incompetent.

Probably I should have written "wouldn't've gotten paid that day, or at least until the computers were fixed, which could've been awhile."

It was easier and more expedient for me to just fix shit myself than to wait on them to pull their collective heads out of their asses.
