| Topic | Yesterday was my last day at the job... Weird situation today... |

My current company doesn't pay competitively or give raises for the experience we're getting here, and so they've been bleeding techs left and right. A bunch of us are actually moving on and getting engineer-level positions at other companies, including me. Upper management just doesn't get the picture, or they do and they just don't care until after it's already impacted them and they've started losing contracts. That's pretty much what's happening at this company, too... The old director of IT operations pretty much screwed all of IT over during his time here. The company is rapidly expanding, but you need to scale IT staff up along with the growth of the company... Because he refused to do that, IT is underwater with trouble tickets and projects... The company really should have 3 or 4 network engineers instead of just me and a contractor. Or at the very least, two network engineer level guys, 1 junior network engineer, and a network admin... Or some mixture along those lines. The new CIO is working on fixing that, but I'm not willing to wait any more. I tried to wait long enough. I never expected this new company to hire me, but they're one of the few companies that I would actually leave my old job for regardless of how much I did or didn't like working there. A few months ago, we lost our security architect and our system admin at the exact same time. This made my job a lot harder. The 3 of us managed the firewalls together, but when they left, all of the firewall management fell to me. I was already swamped with stuff I was working on and it got really rough. --- ...
