  1. Re:After hours IT work on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 1

    So, let's see: are you one that will hire people to do extra work for nothing or are you the one hired to do extra work for nothing? If the former, I already stated my position, if the latter, it's people like you the one I meant when I said "there are too many stupid admins that think it's so fun being abused and working for free" so you are directly hurting me by rasing among managers the expectation that they can abuse IT people since they are willing to do extra work for free.

    Both. Its part of the job, and i wouldn't ask my people do do anything i wouldn't be willing to do myself.

    Very few 'viruses' are technically viruses as almost all need some level of human interaction.. But its the term the media uses.

    So what if instead of a re-direct it phones home to the BSA with your IP and intended software.

    Get a country wide 'search warrant' so the above is admissible in court ...

    Arrest 100000's of people and remove all their rights.

    Black list these 10000's of people and create new democratic voters living on handouts.

    Profit! ( if you are a politician )

    I'm all against nefarious software creeping onto my system, but this is like complaining that the guy you tried to buy drugs from turned out to be a cop.

    Not all agree with you, and some feel that mis-representation is wrong too.

    Let me go one step further.

    You have no work ethic, and are a prime example of the problems with today's generation.

    This country was not built on lazy people expecting someone else to pay their way and people like you are what is dragging us down today.

    Go back to your parents basement you damned sissy whiner and let them take care of your sorry ass. You don't deserve to be out here with the adults.

    I bet you voted for Obama too.

    No, i did not. You, as a lazy self-centered jerk only think i said that:

    1 - did i say what the salary was? No, i did not. Perhaps the salary is high enough to compensate for the after hours work. that thought ever cross your mind? But i refuse to pay a person extra to get them to do their assigned duties.

    2 - Ever hear of time management? If you are going to spend 2 hours this weekend on upgrades, leave early an hour 2 days during the week, or add it to your vacation time.. ( look up the term 'flex schedule' )

    But no, you are too wrapped up in the 'me me me' attitude.

    "No responsible admin would arbitrarily inconvenience their users because they are too damned lazy to perform normal maintenance after hours"

    is that better?

    With that attitude of ' you will pay me extra to do my job ' you would never work for me ( or a LOT of other people ), and i feel sorry for your users that you don't take your responsibility seriously. People like you give the rest of us a bad name.

    Of course, there's a lot of questions that remain to be answered ... like many claims they could not be operating on TCP/IP stacks on the inside. Because it's such a resource hog in some respects but that's irrelevant--I'm certain they can apply some of their ideas universally.

    They have been using token ring for a while now, i thought everyone knew that.

    Ok, just kidding but i really doubt they have dumped TCP/IP for the same reasons you state, its such a core of their business.
