Easiest job I’ve had since I was an intern 10 years ago.

This job literally wrote me an email that I am not to look into any problems or work any tickets unless being assigned something from my manager.

Getting flown out for thousands of dollars in expenses to add stack cables someone else forgot and perform onsite upgrades.

They wouldn’t allow access to anything I would normally have and I’ve been working F500 companies for 10 years now.

Senior Network engineers who have never logged into a switch or router.

It also took me about 2 months to get a computer.

I stayed a year because anything less I just don’t think is a good luck for future employers but I just left for a 70% pay increase.

It’s sad because it would’ve been a great job and I wouldn’t have been looking if they had just let me do my fucking job.

It seems like all my access was being blocked by security. And the security team a this place was a total joke. Like the entire IT department is being run by a totally doofus security team.

Anyone experienced something like this? Just absolute stupidity
