There's been several recommendations to look for another job, but frankly, I don't see a necessity for that. There will always be people at the top of the heap who want to play outside the sandbox. In a lot of cases, it's how they got to the top of the heap and how they made the business successful. As an IT guy, I try to remember that it is indeed their business. They can do with it what they like. If they go against my recommendations and company policies and something blows up, it's not my fault, it's theirs. My experience has been that their level-peers don't really care. Just get them back up and running so they can do their jobs.
Now, if there is a compliance issue involved, then it's a different story. But that's a matter for management and HR to hash out. Document well as you mentioned and move on. These types of folks either play closely enough to the rules that it's not much of a problem or they blow something up badly and either see the light or someone else at their level reads them the riot act. It's going to be the same anywhere else, so you just live with it and spend your energy on things that really matter. ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 925 274 3183 ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Tom Strader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 10:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Interview Q ideas To be honest, I have tried to find something in my field that pays what I am making now with no success in the Charlotte market and I can't take a pay cut at this moment in time.
