If it makes you feel any better, the array I took down by accident, trying to fix failing backups because of a corrupted LUN, was documented as a RAID-6, but was in actuality a RAID-5, so when I pulled the second drive all hell broke loose.
If you already have an offer set in stone, no sense in staying, just walk out.
In my case they were doing a system upgrade for the system and it failed to start. Essentially they were trying to merge two systems into one, and had me do the entire job of developing, testing, deployment, post deployment testing, etc. Needless to say, I caused many problems in the process because as it turns out, ive only worked there for a month, so clearly i have no fucking clue what im doing yet. You miss dedicated QA teams when you dont have one at all
Brutal. lol
Yeah, as much as I hate working for a giant company with it's diversity bullcrap, there are a lot more layers of accountability and way less risk taking because they have the money to curtail risk. Small companies suck in this regard, they're very wild-west shoot by the hip, cut costs. I worked for small MSPs (IT Managed Service Providers) for years and man it was brutal sometimes.
This isnt a small company by any stretch, the manager is just a stingy indian fuck when it comes to managing resources. They made 500 million last year in revenue
If you’ve only been there a month you’re definitely going to be a fall guy. I work in tech and I see companies set up new hires to fail all the time. Most management in tech subscribe to some bullshit business model that they follow to the letter. They start with the premise that their business model is perfect and that offloads the burden of them needing to think and adapt.
Yup, my current manager is wondering why i dont have access to production ... like why in the fuck would i ever need or want to access a live environment? Like this company makes my head hurt. The reason i cant access prod is simple ... because if my feature requires direct access to prod, the design is beyond supremely shitty
