I do IT work... I received a trouble ticket from the helpdesk at the end of the day of a user who is having e-mail issue, so i go down to check on it and find out its a server permission issue i cant fix and the server guys need to look at the issue. I told the user this and let her know that I would try to find someone to fix the issue. I walked down to the office of the person who would normally fix the issue and he was not there so I went back to my desk and put my notes about this in the ticket.. then i called the helpdesk person who assigned to the ticket to me to let him know that I couldn’t fix it and he needed find the proper person since i was allray 15min past my time to go, and needed to pick up my kids. He responded that he was going to take the ticket back and find someone to fix it. When I came in Wednesday morning I had noticed the ticket was still in my cue and the guy never did anything with it. So I called and left a voicemail with the server guy to see if the problem was fixed and when he called me back later he said yes. So I thought that was the end of the issue. Later that day I was called into a meeting and was asked why I had ignored the ticket and left at the end of the day without talking to anyone. I explained everything above of, as it happened and was told that "helpdesk guy" said he knew nothing about it.  I told them to check my phone call log and it would show that that's who I was talking to at the end of the day before had left, and im pretty sure i wasnt ordering pizzas.... my manager had no interest in verifying my call logs to prove what I had said, but just said that it didnt matter and I'm being let go for it.  luckily, because of their action, im getting unemployment... but need a job asap.. |

Both are "IT guys" and, usually, neither understands the first thing about what the other one does everyday. |

You work tickets? Then you should know, if it isnt in the ticket it didnt happen. Period. Hell, I put console logs in my tickets. I did 2 maintenance events yesterday evening, console logs from 3 different server are copied into 2 different tickets.
Why? If it isnt in the ticket it didnt happen. (Or worse, if it isnt in the ticket and something is fucked up, its your ass) |

Even if you really did fuck up and ignore the ticket, there's no way a reasonable person would fire you on the spot for it unless it was a chronic problem or something. This. I have seen corporations do the strangest things with employees over a 20 year career. Sometimes - there is just no knowing what was going though their heads. Sometimes, it is just that someone in leadership doesn't like the way you look at them. Sometimes, it is just "we needed to let someone go, so the first person that has any red in their ledger, get's it" Sometimes, it is just momentum, and ego's, and there is nothing you can do about it. My advice to you would be to do some self-evaluation, just to make sure that something about you didn't contribute to the situation, and create a reason that they might want to get rid of you. This stage is difficult, you really have to step outside yourself and ask... "how did others see me".... and "why". The reason you need to do the above, is to make course corrections so you don't continue these traits long term (if any exist). I have seen many people get fired, and everyone in the department just nodded and knew it was coming, while the employee was oblivious, and in denial about some very personal reasons that they were chosen for the hatchet. They never listened to people who tried to help them with constructive criticism, and in the end, just blamed everyone else, and the company. I am not saying this is the case for you.... but it is a very important step. I do it every time I interview, and don't get a job offer. "what could I have done better, to result in a different outcome?" Then - you have to just let go of any angst, animosity, and use it as a teaching moment. There is no loyalty anymore. Companies are fickle. Your employment could end any day.... so keep that in mind as you structure your finances. Such is the world, especially in IT. I wish you well in your job search. |

When I cut my teeth on Desktop Support we had guys that did some MONUMENTALLY stupid shit, sometimes crippling production or worse. Got a stern "stop doing that" and it was back to business as usual. Fuck, we had one guy leave a bootable Ghost disk with a clean image install in the optical drive of the Plant Manager's production laptop after testing the drive to see if it would work. PM boots up, gets a message that says "enter User ID" does so and BAM! Laptop wiped. Back to day one. We all gave him a ration of shit about but, nobody even considered letting him go. |

The problem is most "IT guys" aren't worth the 1/12th of a dime. Experienced technology professionals are hard to find and hard to hold onto. I guess I need to stop using "IT guy" as shorthand for my profession.
My company has thrown everything at me (including the kitchen sink in the new house I'm buying with their relocation money) to keep me from leaving the company. When they announced that they were moving to Dallas, I changed my LinkedIn status and had recruiters calling me a couple days later. To keep me from leaving early, they increased my salary (and how), threw a fat retention bonus on top of that, threw another 8 weeks of severance on top of that, and said that I was guaranteed all of that until Jan 2017 - even if I had literally nothing to do, and no office to go to anymore. Just please don't leave. I agreed. As I was getting new gigs lined up, they countered again and wondered if I might just move to Texas anyway (I'm hard to replace, if it wasn't obvious yet). So I'm keeping all of that that I just mentioned above, AND they're moving me. Full service move? Done. Closing costs on the new house covered? Got it. Another small bump in salary, just because I asked? Doneski. "Dime a dozen". *snort* |

There are a few sectors of "IT guys" that are pretty common. The vast majority of "IT guys" aren't the helpdesk, they aren't the coders, they aren't the web design folks, they are the people that keep the world in a state that everyone else can *work.* You never see them, you don't know their names and you probably have no idea that a full time position exists for such magic, much less that whole departments are dedicated to it. THOSE people are rare. They are valuable. They make up the bulk of the "IT guys" but, to you, they're invisible. Even the OP points to one of them. He couldn't fix an issue so he called someone who, probably, hasn't talked directly to a user in a decade. The OP didn't have the "rights" to fix the issue. He had to call one of the "IT guys" to get it done. |

That has to be it. Even if you really did fuck up and ignore the ticket, there's no way a reasonable person would fire you on the spot for it unless it was a chronic problem or something. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It sounds more like your manager already had plans to can you. That has to be it. Even if you really did fuck up and ignore the ticket, there's no way a reasonable person would fire you on the spot for it unless it was a chronic problem or something. Agreed. Shit happens and sometimes people drop the ball. Unless you are making a habit of it nobody here would can you for letting a ticket breach SLA targets, especially if it's a non-critical issue. When I was working Desktop Support, we'd have SEP (Somebody Else's Problem) tickets breach all the time, for the same reasons OPs did - Person X left for the day, Person Y is on leave, etc. Nobody really cared as long as the user was kept informed of why the delay was occuring, and if a workaround was available, it was at least offered. |

It wouldn't have mattered. They wanted him gone. If he worked where I do, I'd have a recording of his phone call to the other guy. His boss isn't interested. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Just the other day there was a thread about why people send an email even though they're sitting two cubicles away. This is why. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile It wouldn't have mattered. They wanted him gone. If he worked where I do, I'd have a recording of his phone call to the other guy. His boss isn't interested. I agree but if he CYA-ed with emails - it wouldn't have been for this. |
