Honestly this doesn't seem that bad to me. These sorts of 'do everything' admin positions are common in the small to medium non-IT business.

If yo have to clean anything else then your server-room....run! Sorry that's not normal, there are cleaning institutes for electrical equipment...even in Birmingham.

>Mitigate security issues on all accounts

No problem...but let me clean the TV first

>Remove or Suspend users per instruction

No problem...let me call Boris (ex KGB).

Hey, if my boss wants to pay me my salary to wipe down some electronics, I'm game. Besides, I don't think they have a server room.

Non-trained personal cleaning around electronics can be a source of IT issues. Unplugging things so they can vacuum or wax, dislodging cables with aggressive dusting, etc.

I'd rather be responsible for regular cleaning and maintence than get a call from the owner that the fancy electronic sign they overpaid for is down again because of a loose connection.

With so many jobs there is no way you could do a good job (in a timely manner)...then the problems start.

I'm willing to bet most of these things only come up once in a blue moon. I really think everyone is interpreting this disingenuously.

When you are the only IT person then you can expect to all sorts of other duties to come your way.

Having said that my guess is this job would be shit and only someone desperate will take it.

I've worked jobs like this, they were usually pretty chill actually. The actual IT work is pretty minimal (that's why there is only one of you!) so you don't really mind helping out with random tasks. This is a small[0] non-IT business, they don't need someone who builds k8s for funsies.

Honestly, it's beginning to sound like a lot of people here just think IT is a very narrow field that only encompasses people too aloof to wipe down a monitor on occasion or assist the receptionist in running a malware scanner.

This looks like the outgoing “IT manager” wrote up a list of their duties, then it got handed off to HR who thought it was a list of applicant requirements.

"Clean computer files as needed"

?!

Whatever it is that is needed to clean their computer files, it sounds more achievable than:

"Ensure all computers remain connected and on at all times"

Sorry i had to archive that "thing", it's hilarious ;)

I don't see any mention of ... money - presumably this will be a paid position?!
Re:The worst IT manager role I have ever seen by blitzar on Wednesday January 05, 2022 @11:08AM (#29810719)
> presumably this will be a paid position

I really wish it had "unpaid internship - with a chance to progress to full time role for impressive candidates" (with free haircuts as a perk?)

Is it the The worst IT manager role I have ever seen if the pay is 7 figures? Is it the The worst IT manager role I have ever seen if the pay is 5 figures? Beauty is in the eye of the paycheque.

"Dust cable connections internally to ensure positive connection" Don't touch the negative connections, they are the other managers job!

What?

Don Lors is apparently a Dish Network contractor.
