2nd week at my new job,
At my previous contract, I was the only person still there from the beginning, in the year that I was there we've had 8 people leave for better jobs and with good reason
The threes nikka I started with quit without notice, So I was saddled with all of their tickets plus my own. I was knocking down 171 tickets a month on average, I had to train new hires, write SOPs, and through self-study I became so good at VMware that I was THAT nikka. Everybody came to me for any issues they had with VDI. Because I was so good at my job and approachable, I ended up building a rapport with different departments which made triaging with infosec, NOC, Compute Teams, Helpdesk and VPs and managers a breeze. I was steadily getting put on employee of the month boards and I know the bytch made managers at the client foaming at the mouth to cancel our contract was hating that. I was single handedly keeping nikkas jobs safe without even realizing it. Some of the newer contractors had the gall to try and throw me under the bus when they start getting hymed up for not pulling their weight, claiming I didnt trian them when I literally hold webex meetings and shower them with every SOP and bookmark I had. bytch ass nikkas still got the axe though.
- takes months upon months sitting on your hands to get access and rights to do your damn job, Not a singular experience, every single contractor including myself went through this.
- When we finally got said access, the bum ass niccas from other depts would just recklessly kick'em to us regardless if it was some shyt we did or not, 80% of the time the latter.
- So Called Virtualiztion SME was an insecure hothead who was suppose to Host Webex training calls, but just decided he wasnt going to train us, and no-show 98% of meetings. Also the same bump trying to push patches during production hours b
- bytch made Service Delivery Managers cared more about us assigning tickets to the right dept moreso than resolving issues and request. Basically my last 3 months there was ticket shuffling instead of doing real SysAdmin work
Muthafukas could not touch me or say shyt bad about me because I was too clutch lol. That whole experience made me a better professional and showed me that I have leadership skills to rub elbows with even the executive types.
SO when I finally got that offer for $85,000 / year for my current contract and put in my 2 week's notice, them manger's were sick as fukk; I wasnt one of, I was the ONLY one getting shyt done on my team, and because nobody else was reliable.....shyt's Creek lol.
fukk it though, Im eating now, still stacking certs and learning on my own dime so I can be prepared for my next gig when this one expires. Man, I love this IT shyt
I already have game plan in check. I know I can move on but I want to hit one of those major companies the good thing is with so many people bouncing. They need people to stay just as much until they are ready to move on down the line. It will take a good 4 months of studying before I am ready to take flight.
. Been going thru the course just for shyts and giggles and it's caught my eye as a possible career path into Security for cloud
