System Administrator’s Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Hope all you Sys Admins out there are getting the appreciation you deserve. It’s been awhile since I was in that sort of strictly IT position, but as someone who is currently using up network resources like nobody’s business, I appreciate what these folks do.

All you Litigation Support people should be especially appreciative. Do you have any idea how many network resources it takes to import/export and otherwise move around and store e-discovery data? I do, and ironically enough, I’m doing a whole lot of that this week, so I’m laying low and keeping away from our networking people. 😉

As part of the demonstration, I went live to my Twitter and Facebook profiles, which was actually a little nerve-wracking. I follow a lot of people on Twitter, some of whom…

    I spent a lot of my time these days focused on onboarding, bringing in new people, getting them up to speed, and contributing. That’s an important process. So is off-boarding, because when you don’t have a proper process for departing employees, stuff like this can happen.
