9. Overworked?

Seriously, depending on your office size, the person who is doing the network administration and desktop support is going to have their hands full. Expecting them to also support third party financial applications and proprietary code is way too much, IMO.

10. Not that big of an office, and there are two IT peeps.

[crispini]

11. Oh, well, that's good then.

We have about 60 employees and our network guy is just hugely slammed, all the time. Of course, he does network, desktop, VPN, phones, etc. :hi:

We waited HOURS to get that close to the stage. :hi:

27. Give them an unrestricted T1 line, and they would never leave the office

Feed them the latests version of the software the company uses, give them a hot computer, and they will be on call in the office 19 ~ 20 hours a day.

Never say a thing about them playing games on the internet, and they will work for peanuts.

Be sure the have a hot pizza and cans of Red Bull on hand during the job interview.
