Had a relatively painless round of updates today. Surprising, given the number of systems that are Windows, ha ha.

Wow... I've never been at the same job for more then 2 years. Granted I've only been professionally working in IT for 10-12 years...

Wow, you are actually kind of an oddity. Last I checked (and something that I'm working on/learning) is that often times the best way to get raises/promotions is through changing companies. You must have found a good one!

Because it's way easier to ask for a lot of additional money when you're finding a new job. Only at a business that truly values you, will they "show you the money" or make a position for you. Allowing you to define the job etc.

Agreed. I just find that the amount of businesses that actually value their employees properly are few and far between.

I don't know if they don't value their employees. I just don't believe that they understand how to value an employee.
I agree, just for a different reason.

Wait, am I the one with a cynical/pessimistic point of view between the two of us? Really?
You could be right though. I could see that.

Of course they value their employees, but just at the very low end typically. But it is SMB, so no one can really be specialized, so most workers are limited in their true potential because they are constantly job shifting, which is very inefficient. This drives value down. I don't think this is typically intentional on the part of the SMB, though I'm sure some would argue it is exactly their intention.

Oh trust me I am very cynical, but I've also seen it at every job I've had. Management / individual managers don't know how to value an employee. So they either abuse them, do this, work these hours, limited comp etc or they simply don't listen and drives the employee to look for better money, position etc.

Tickets then mundane monthly tasks. My treat for completing these: VoIP planning

Despite being sick having a relatively good day. Perhaps it was the morning redbull that did it.

Although you have to consider how many companies have any means of leveraging employees, too. That's actually a huge factor. The average company can't hire good employees, only average ones. While good workers are better than bad ones, they aren't as good as average ones to an average company. You need to have good work and good management and good pay to take care of good workers. That's hard. Most large businesses are built around cost effective management of middling staff.
