I am only a manager again because I hate working for dipshits and IT tends to attract a lot of bad managers. Or rather IT attracts people who want to be in management that have no business being there.

I manage many introverts and interact with people that can be very 'sensitive'. I have to be Politically Correct at all times and always watch what I say. Than can be difficult.

I hear you brother and totally agree @Ruthless.  I'm an analyst now for a large credit union but previously  I was an IT manager for a bank.  It wasn't that bad though since I had a small hand picked staff.

Similar to a few others.  My title is "Senior Network Engineer" but it may as well be "Professional CoD player, cyclist, runner, Youtube content viewer..." since our CIO made all IT jobs 100% remote when the pandemic hit due to retention and lack of talent applying for work.

Izumi, my brother from another mother! I to am a Sr. Network Engineer for a gas company that has 40 locations in 3 States. I to have been banished to work from home for the rest of my career. My company sold our corporate headquarters (3 multistory buildings), where I had an office for 20 years and bought another property with only 2 buildings and a plot of land to build a 3rd. Covid hit, and they decided to never build the 3rd building as we work so well from home. I have been working for this natural gas utility going on 22 years now, prior to that I was a TAC engineer for Cisco system, a supervisor for Hitachi laptop support, and I started my carrier as PC support for Gateway Computers (Windows 3.1 / Windows for Workgroups). So I have been in IT for 32 years now. 

  
These are our two new buildings.

I'm a quality and procurement manager for a worldwide brothel chain owned by the renowned multinational MaleAndFemaleInstitution&Association. I search and test products from all nations for placement within my Company's real estate portfolio. Times are hard at the moment, however rumour has it that I may find suitable candidates within these forums according to some of our clients who can't be named for legal reasons @BUDMAN @TBB and @Sammy.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with @Icequeen???

I have been in the IT industry for over 22 years now. I am currently a Network Security Engineer. I've worn about every hat in the IT industry it feels like. IT director for 2 small cities, Network Engineer, Field Network Engineer, system admin. I worked for the isp Time Warner Cable (with @Izumi for a few of those) now Spectrum for 11 years. I can put people to sleep talking about ip packets and why their connection to the servers may or may not suck. I have worked with about every switch and firewall manufacturer it feels like. I slapped in a few old work photos. Most of the things I work on now are globally remote that I rarely physically touch.

For nearly 20 years, assembled car seats for the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. For about 14 of those years, I was a supplier quality engineer dealing directly with supplier for new model changes and production quality related issues. Ford shuttered that plant in 2011, London Ontario, so our plant closed as well.  For the last 10, been working in a bearing manufacturing plant making/assembling bearings (tansmission bearings, differential bearings, wheel bearings, chain guides, belt and chain guide tensioners, belt pulleys) serving customers (Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, ZF, TRW, Mitsubitshi, Nissan) from NA, Mexico, Thailand, Korea, China, Japan). Carried over in the supplier quality role for first 7ish years and for last 3 years, now do the same thing but on the customer side, so now deal directly with the customers on our plant quality related issues.

After nearly 30 years of the automotive world, I've had my fill of stressful and crazy busy days.  In a couple of months, I'm packing it in and my wife and I are moving to another province to start the next chapter of our lives. I have now just started my training on becoming a certified home energy advisor, a lot of material so will take a bit of time, but a completely new line of business from what I'm used but is interesting and will essentially be my own boss once we get to where we are going.

Worked in the Airline Industry, with most of that time at the Detroit Metro Airport(DTW).   Did most all of the different ground handling positions - load / unload - parking - driving those little 'tugs and carts' around.  Also worked weight and balance using a 'manual computer' .   After 43 and a half years decided to retire (31Dec2016)..  Working manual labor outside in all kinds of weather is a 'young mans' game.    Before and after retirement picture.

My favourite job was about 40 years ago in the Middle East as a clairvoyant, on a Friday after prayers I'd gather them around me, burn some incense and a candle. In the dim light and spooky atmosphere of flickering candle light I would invoke the spirits :-

'Is there anyone there', I would chant, as the audience were spellbound and glued to my every word

'There are mists forming'

'A spirit is trying to communicate with someone'

'I am beginning to see a letter, it is getting clearer'

' The letter is M', I screamed

 

'Is anyone here called Mohammed'           ????????????????????????????????

Hello dear boy, haven't seen you for a while, you and @EastCoast50 been shacking up again ? practising your COD skills and thinking you'll beat old Rob? Never happen until you boys sober up and buy spectacles, so I'm safe.

The condom testing never took off the ground, or my scrotum to be more precise, I discovered I was latex intolerant, shrivelled up and couldn't even get them on. So I took the soft option and left, what a farewell send off, they must have spent a fortune on balloons.

Due to my experience and age I'm still on a retainer for diaper testing, but only part time now, working on one at the moment for a chain of curry houses. You boys (and EC) over there probably aren't too familiar with the UK's favourite food, the reason why most men and women are 4 XL +. Hot curries in order are Madras, Vindaloo, Phall and 'Blood Orange', referring to the waste products and effects. I'm in the development stages of a new variety of blood orange, the pressure testing, retention and odour control aren't going well. I deduce this from the reluctance to approach me by any of the team, wife or friends. But hey ho early days, we'll get there eventually.
