What would you do if you've been working your ass off at work for 3 years at a job for which you're being paid 1/3 of what you're worth.
What would you do if you were getting hassled by 64-year-old man who has no earthly business turning on a computer let alone telling you how to fix them?
What would you do if you were being 'assisted' by someone with less computer knowledge than the 64-year-old, who actually succeeds in doing negative work and making your job harder than if he was sitting in some corner and not touching anything?
What would you do if the very people who are supposed to be helping you out and making your work life easier, up and switch all the DNS addresses without telling you eliminating internet access for all 75+ computers for which you are responsible, thus setting off dozens of frantic faculty, staff, and student complaints that you personally have to deal with instead of trying to actually fix the problem?
And what would you do if your place of employment neglected to pay you for 1 month postponing your paycheck’s arrival time until 1 day AFTER you plan on leaving for Chicago for 5 days, meaning you'll have to bankroll the whole damn trip on your credit card?
What the fuck would you do then?
I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd show up bright and early Monday morning and deliver the department chair an ultimatum. Pay me better, give me REAL help or I'm quitting and you're entire network is going crap out and you won't have anybody to fix it for months.
I'm a patient man, but enough is enough. Come Monday, they make me happy or I'm gone.
