Network Technician Job Security

Network Technician job security is spotted by us regularly in businesses that are not our clients yet, and is caused by those who are new on the job, or who still do not really understand what they are doing.

Case in point:
One of our techs went to pick up his wife, and went into the building. He met one of the two network technicians that work for that company and was told that they were having “network problems”. He asked where their monitoring tools were, and how they managed their network. They had none. He asked how many workstations they had. He was told thirty.

Two network technicians for thirty workstations is NUTS!!! I have to say that in all my years of working in this field, I have never seen such blatant network technician job security.

My point is this – if your network technicians are so bad that they need even one full-time guy for only 30 workstations — get a new technician! FAST! (Unless you really need a tax credit…)
