Had to fix a lot of printers yesterday for (mostly) silly reasons, and dealt with a coworker problems, one after the other. To all the IT vets out there, you are the real heroes.

Thank you!! I feel seen! Printer problems aren't for the faint of heart, usually because they are very silly and you spend most of the time reassuring each employee that they aren't completely incompetent. Lol!

Same thoughts! I just want to say thank you to all the IT veterans out there - you guys are the real heroes for putting up with all of this day in and day out.

Lol! We are the whole reason things stay running smoothly

Welcome to IT, friend. Lol

I hear you. Printers are the bane of everybody that got labeled as a "techie." I still have my sister-in-law calling me every few weeks for her printer issues because I "fixed it really quickly" (attached the power cable) a few years ago. So yeah.

Ugh.. printers. Thankfully I’ve always worked with places that have contracts with companies who are printers distributors. But yes, the ones before us are the real heroes!

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

Wtf do I do

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
