I think I'd like to clarify a few things - I do not consider myself a lagger or lazy worker.
(1) When I started this job, there was a nagging intermittent problem with the wireless network. Users would suddenly lose connectivity, dropped signals etc. And we all know that when such a thing happens, it can be due to many variables. These take time to isolate, and test and re-test. It could be an access point (AP) congestion (since both 802.1x and Radius was switched on), several faulty APs etc. Last week, she said why does it take so long for you to know of this problem? Duh. I told her that we've finally found the problem, and unfortunately it is due to the AP (Hewlett-Packard) that was not robust enough. The CISCO APs could solve one of these problems. Her reply was, it was only one problem, why take so long? I told her that the other part was the user took the laptop home to work, change the SSID / domain settings etc, and dunno how to put back. I told her we were looking for a solution (freeware) that could save the settings.
(2) There was no network topology diagram in the company. So my colleague and I spent weeks understanding the network topology and used Visio to draw it out. 2 diagrams were completed - 1 old topology and 1 new topology. When I passed her both, she asked "What is the use of this diagram, and what does this diagram tell me?" I said these diagrams are for your files, one current and the other diagram is where the company network should be. They had almost all the servers in the DMZ and that was a major security risk. Then she said "Don't give me piece meal information".
(3) Then she said, "Where is your 5 years IT Master Plan?" Like as if it takes a few days to do? Lucky never give her the drafts, wait kenna accused of giving her the document in 'piece meal'.
(4) We have 3 Active Directories (ADs). Our job was to merge them properly, and install Microsoft Exchange. Anyone knows that the AD *must* be done correctly before anything else. She said these things can be done in two months, including the complete rollout of Microsoft Exchange. I got fed up and told her "If I can do this in 2 months, I wouldn't be here. I'd be heading Microsoft Singapore."
Now you tell me, what is wrong with this picture?
BTW, she's non-IT literate.
* sigh *
Gotta find a decent job first - we trying to start a family - so need 2 incomes.
Is this company a local company?
wah lao, she like this also can arr, now you know why even ladies hate lady bosses
40+ and not married.
more or less u've explained the reason to urself y she is kinda cranky eh? haha
normally one doesnt see one's own faults. I am not flaming you, just asking you to think why no one is picked on except u. There has got to be a reason right?
Yes.
I think I accidentally uncovered her mistakes.
In 2006, she was in charge of a wireless rollout contract. She negotiated the contract with the vendor and got our CEO to sign it.
Since Sept 2006, the wireless network has been very unstable - can you imagine using non-CISCO products (those bought from Funan or SLS) for Enterprise use, with Radius and 802.1x?
Now got many people complain, CEO ask me to relook into the whole situation. I found out:
(1) Contract was signed for four (4) years - a bit odd
(2) There was NO Service Level Agreement (SLA) to fault the vendor - so it was a "win" situation for them.
And guess who vetted the contract in the first place?
Now, we are moving the Enterprise into a higher plane of computing, merging the ADs, migrating the email from Qmail to MS-Exchange etc.
I think she is beginning to feel threatened.
My appointment letter was work 5-day week (signed in Dec 2006), 8:30am - 6:00pm with 1-hour lunch break.
Now, she suka suka say all those who join the establishment after March 2006, are supposed to be on 5.5 day work week.
Duh.
BTW, she's non-IT literate.
Not IT literate can also in charge of wireless rollout.... KNS.
May be she had a crush on you but later found out you are married.. or u and her birthdate just crash la!....
In this case, I would say u leave. Unless u can go above her and report it to her superior, you can be made to look really bad. And trust me colleagues being nice is oh well bullshit. In a work place, it is every man for himself. Alliances shift all the time, when u are doing well, everyone is your friend, when u are not, everyone just shuns u.
If you have reached such a stage, clearly she is going to pick on every small thing u do. And if you make even one mistake, you can be sure it will be blown sky high.
