What Are You Doing Right Now

Its about time somebody has done something about cage nuts. I'm tired of busting my knuckles. However, I think it is sad that they actually have to advertise cage nuts. Are we getting to the bottom of the barrel here?

That sounds like a go home event here.

No, generally driving and being at home rather than an office NOT things you do in a tornado!

Just got back to work and found that my boss got let go.

Should be an interesting day.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Your reaction to this is almost perfectly neutral.

More work is fine, providing the pay matches the increased responsibility.

Yeah it never does.

We shall see

So when I started where I am currently it was purely a helpdesk / jr sys admin type of thing. There were 2 interns at the time.

I've since built the entire infrastructure up, from designing the backup system to the hypervisors and everything else in between.

Was there a bump, sure, was it enough of a bump / responsibility and chain of command to deal with the added workload and stress, nope.

This is your fault for doing things significantly above your responsibility without negotiating a change in your employment terms with your employer.

Ha. dick, no its a part of the job to find inefficiencies. And then fix them, the employer should see the savings. Not the employee refusing to fix those inefficiencies without more pay.

Was that in your actual job description? I doubt it. Of course the employer saw the savings, and because you did it all above and beyond the employment contract you signed, that employer gets to reap 100% of those savings. They have no legal, or even moral, obligation to give you any more money.

The business is actually morally obliged to make the most profit possible. And if some extra profit comes from employees that do significant work above and beyond their employment contracts with no pushing by the employer, even better for the company.

Unless you work from home and you have a storm shelter.

Fortunately, I work in a building with a bunker. My wife (usually home) and kid (home on spring break) are not so fortunate.

General verdict is no damage to anything for us yet. Still waiting on damage reports on the news.

Edit: No serious injureies, just a bunch of trees down.

Who said there was no employer push? You're making that conclusion up from what I posted.
