    I go thru the same thing on my job. This place is a fustercluck. 2 of us
    doing support for 400 desktops and 150 remote users. And my co-worker
    won't delegate any of the server work because "she's not training her
    replacement" (which I'm not!).

    Fortunately, I like my job. I hate the business though. Horse is right; put
    on a happy face and start looking. I am...

    C'est la vie.

    What I've done in the past is to take on hidden jobs that no-one knows are being done. After a while no-one even notices. eventually you leave and the void becomes noticed.

    ITG... Same type of thing happened to me... Basically, the management at my company was a bunch of f'ing morons (some of you probably remember when I was working for them, because I was on AO for like 15 hours a day then). But, then they decided they didn't "need" me any more. Though I still got calls from them after, asking passwords to thing, because, even though "security was an issue" they didn't have access to 1/2 the crap on the network.

    Anyway, it took a while, but I started a new job. Teaching computers of all things. Went from being paid $12 an hour full time (40+ hours per weak), to teaching part time (6-8 hours a weak) and making $59 an hour. My takehome pay is the same now as it was then, and I have to payout for part of my insurance, and I work less then 1/4 of the same hours. Which, btw, is great, especially now, since I had a son last summer.

This move has happened to all IT people at least once (including myself) so focus your energy on new horizons.

    Don't forget to ask for a pay rise about this time.

Do you not have a contract that tells you exactly what your duties and rights are (and position, for that matter)? If they keep you because you're "the only one that knows anything about the network", wouldn't it be in their best interest to keep you? ...

    Just wondering
    They are creating a job title with duties now (however, I am actively looking elsewhere).

    BTW, The company is a financial company and the security is null, I guess it is best to leave before someone notices the security flaws, because it is only time before someone hacks (i mean walks in through one of the security holes).

    Yeah, it's amazing how lax some of these outfits are. I work in an ITAR
    facility which manufactures machine tools for the defense industry and
    exports quite a bit, too. Our machines tools are used to manufacture
    everything from cars to tanks to planes. And there is little or no computer
    or network security as of yet outside of AD. I routinely run virtual machines
    and no one has a clue. This promises to change in the next six months
    via a series of network upgrades, but we'll see. Chit, we don't even know
    where all our computers are (we got about 150 remote users)...

    WOW! I left a company 2 years ago that built military engines and I was heavily involved with the DoD & DSSA.

    This outfit's so cheap. We've got 30-some odd servers onsite, and not a
    single one of them has even so much as a 1 GHZ processor. We aren't running
    any server hardware newer than 6 or 7 years old (yet). Most of the servers
    are actually converted desktops or workstations. We actually have gone
    to eBay to get older HDD's for some of the servers (we do have a few servers
    running RAID arrays).

    The IT dep't was gutted about 3 years ago when the company was owned
    by someone else and milked for the cash. My favorite is a quote from the
    new owner, "This is a machine tool company, not an IT company."

    Such is life in Hell...
