[quote:Old Custer:MV80MTY1NzI3Xzc1NzEwNzU1XzhDOUQzMTk4] [quote:KIT 76127092:MV80MTY1NzI3Xzc1NzEwNDUzXzY3QjgyQUY0] I run 16 sites, 200 computers, 30 printers, 20 servers, 200 voip phones. I built a full blown cisco network, all cisco wifi, all cisco vpn. I do all the computer deployment, I provision all of the servers, I provision all of the switches. I handle all of the IT for an organization spread out across 16 physical sites with about 10 departments. 200 end users. I have zero staff. Why do you need so many IT staff? [/quote] Thousands of end users, over a thousand servers, hundreds of apps/services, VDI and SBC managed environments for end-users (very few PCs). Hundreds of sites/locations. The list goes on.

Not that I blame them. So many deadbeats in their IT dept, just collecting a check. Right now we're pulling information for quotes. All we keep hearing is:
'nobody is going to lose their job'
'what you do may change'
'this is going to free you up to do important work'
I sat long and hard and thought about it and came up with a few thoughts, nobody was going to lose their job why would they outsource. Whats the point. They're just gonna keep paying people for redundancy. I would they justify salary of 3 senior network engineers when they outsourced the network management. Does this mean they'll offer people lower paying jobs within the company.
Even if I was one of the 'lucky' ones what type of advancement opportunities would there actually be. If the department lost 90% of its people then management within the department just got 1000x more competitive.
Just sucks because nobody is worried. Its like they're all in denial and they want to believe. Sometimes i wish I was an idiot. Thanks for letting me rant GLP brethren.
