So, two months after the manager who hired me left, I was let go because I was too slow and not skilled enough at troubleshooting.

I should leave when my manager leaves in February. The person who took over after my manager left for a new position always needed my manager’s help, and my manager spent a lot of time fixing his mistakes. I let them talk me into staying.

I was there during engineering meetings with the new head of engineering messing up client environments and losing data. I may have been slow, but when fixed, it stayed fixed, with no planning or preparation for projects. They sent a ticket that was three months old before I got it with 30GB of a clients mission critical emails missing, they refused to backup mailboxes into .pst files before migration, and they had the level 1 team defragging SSDs, which short the life of the hard drives in brand new PCs, so they replace these drivers.

Between COVID-19 and a locked-in New York City, this all sucks!

I’m glad it’s over; my wife has encouraged me to open my own company; I got the LLC from Otaku Computer Guy! LLC and I renovated my wife’s mother’s old medical office into space for my computer repair and services business. I will let everyone know when the work is done.

I’m going to start publishing technical documents and step procedures of how to do things correctly and the right way; the problem is I didn’t have confidence in myself and the year of training and practice I had over 15+ years, but after watching these guys and I don’t have a problem anymore.

The https://otakucomputerguy.org blog will become my technical journal and technology and advertise my new business.

I already have one new client and old friend sign-up for services, Vulcans Logic Networks Enterprise, Inc. He is going to hire me from time to time to be a second pair of hands and help with projects. The future’s looking brighter, but it seems like a tough road.
